Classic Game Room HD - ENCOUNTER AT L-5 for Atari 2600 review

Classic Game Room HD reviews ENCOUNTER AT L-5 for Atari 2600 from Data Age released in 1982. This science fiction shooter from Data Age has you blasting Megalytes (or something silly) with an anti-matter cannon (which makes silly awesome) in space whilst defending the peace loving colonists of L-5 (who are rad). Shoot down d-bag aliens for points and watch their pixel ships evaporate with the cheers in the head. Encounter at L-5 is a cool take on that tried and true Space Invaders style of gameplay This CGR review of Encounter at L5 has gameplay from the Atari 2600 cartridge, Encounter at L-5 showing video game play with Atari 2600 footage in HD.

I realized the irony while switching the video resolution: I'm watching Atari graphics in "1080 P"!!!!!

The sounds of early Atari games are so nostalgic.

21 people are from L5.

Apparently the Data Age logo is the same as the Treasure logo...

The peace loving colonists of L-5 have got themselves a surprisingly effective weapon there.

@zillzultraboy ok dude, thanks 4 explaining me, and yeah, it got kinda boring that many atari games were posted, but at least theyre funny, its interesting 2 me to see these games that were forgotten in time by many, but are remembered by many too

@nightmathzombieethan Same here, I'm a whore for high resolutions and filters on emulators. :P

@BillyCauseyjr

I love playing the older Nintendo or Genesis titles in "High res" Some purists may hate it, but I don't mind seeing my old favorites "polished up" a little...

[BillyCauseyjr]

@nightmathzombieethan it's funny when I play on an emulator and realize I'm playing at 1366x768 resolution.

the Data Age office was literally next door to Imagic.
