Classic Game Room was the FIRST classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999. Returning in 2008 with new episodes, Classic Game Room breaks out a review of VIDEO OLYPICS for the Atari 2600 Video Computer System. Produced just in time for the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing China, Video Olympics has the spirits of the Olypia of years past all wrapped up into one convenient Atari cartridge. Lurking deep within Video Olypics is basically 10 different versions of PONG. Sure they may use fancy names like Quadrapong and Ice Hockey, Soccery and Volleyball... but it's basically pong. You watched the footage of the different events in the massive Chinese stadium like swimming, gymnastics and track and field... but does that really get you into the action like Video Olympics does? Who won the gold medal in rings... who won the silver in high jumping... what country won the bronze in the 50 meter dash...? I don't know. But I do know that when you play pong you're a winner. Watch the news for up to the minute.. nay, up to the second covereage of the 2K8 olympics in China, but watch your Atari 2600 for up to the second covereage of what's going on in your Atari 2600 Video Olympics! Who knew the Ancient Greeks were on to this? Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD. The reviews on the HD series are reviewing PS3, PS2, Genesis, NES, Atari and Xbox 360. XBLA. videos review reviews show wii trailer celebrity star swimmer hot photos tags keywords are you reading this if so go away yar's revenge is my favorite game football footballer medals united states etc...

  • "some friends to come over to ya house", thats a nice one...rare to find nowadays, he?

    still a very good value for money this cart, I think

  • half of this game was made by the pong core.

  • you haven't played pong until you've played it with a paddle controller!

  • this is exactly like virtua tenis 4!!!

  • We should not replace the olympics with video games and we should not add video games to the olympics, most people will not want to watch other people play video games for 2 hours

  • Olympics for the rest of us

  • They should do a release for the current systems with 200+ versions of "Pong", plus a few versions of "Breakout" and "Warlords" to spice up our lives.

  • @RkivUnderground amazon has them for decent prices

  • @Freshestcream sure you can with amulation and killera
