Some of those symbols remind me of those hieroglyphs that the Dharma Initiative used on LOST in the countdown clock and those beep noises and the flashing numbers seem like it'd be the ideal punishment Ben Linus would use in that brainwashing room where you're strapped to the chair and have your eyes clamped open.
Actually this game wasn't that bad, especially when it 1st came out. I remember getting/playing it as a kid. What people don't realize today, in a world of literally 1 million game titles, is that there were so few games initially released, that practically ANY game was new/exciting. I remember my father & I checking stores weekly/buying every new Atari 2600 title.
@mcjedi96 wow you accually think that works, it f***ing text!!!!!!!!!!! i could say im a billionaire with no life and live with a hobo aand you'd believe it.
Memory Match was actually a Sears "Telegames" product. The Atari version was called "A Game of Concentration"; not to be confused with the game show of the same name.
Dont listen to anyone that complains about your game selection, thanks for doing all of the odd and old stuff. I like atari, I have a 5200. I do love the nes and sms better. Thanks for the reveiw!
I think the problem was more likely the graphical limitations, not the ram. Background graphics are very simple and limited so they apparently couldn't render the numbers that way.
They must have used sprites for the numbers and the 2600 can't have very many of those on a scanline.
It's a bad design though, like rsidntevil posted earlier. They wouldn't need numbers if you could just highlight a square with the joystick and push the button to flip it.
funny review. It seems like they tried to make that game work with the keyboard controller. It would have been more fun if you could use the joystick controller. move up down left right ...red button flip.
I want to see your game collection next, I know the consoles, but I want to see it all together, games and consoles, we must see the classic game room in total!

Why couldn't all the numbers on the board be rendered at once? The Odyssey's Matchmaker game had no problem doing that.
TheChrisCassidyShow 3 years ago
I guess the Atari 2600 memory was too limited to render it all. Maybe if they put in extra ram into the cartridge, it would render it all.

the atari had, guess what only 128 bytes, not kilobytes, bytes, thats 128 0's or 1's in the RAM.

It's ilegal to throw away Atari games? Really. I suspect this is the reason for the video game crash, too many poorly written games.
