I didn't like the first Elevator Action as much, mainly because I wasn't very good at it.  But I sure did enjoy Elevator Action Returns on the Taito Legends collections.  That was like a cross between Elevator Action and Rolling Thunder.  Otto even shows up in cameos in Taito games to this day, like Arkanoid vs. Space Invaders.

There's actually a pretty recent new Elevator Action game that was in arcades called Elevator Action: Death Parade.  It was a light gun game like Time Crisis, but you had a button you could use to close and open real life elevator doors that would cover the screen!  You could even use those doors as shields!

As a kid, I liked gray because it was the same color as donkeys and elephants, and I liked those animals.  But yeah I was a weird kid for liking gray and other animals like buffalo.

I like the colorful graphics the Defender games have, but yeah they're way too hard!  I'm with SanAndreas on this one, I actually like the 2600 versions better.  Mainly because I'm better at them. :)  By the way, NES Defender was programmed by Satoru Iwata.  Cool, huh?

Reading Jamie's retro review of Elevator Action made me remember a new Elevator Action game that came out fairly recently in arcades.  Have you ever heard of Elevator Action: Death Parade?  It's a light gun game like Time Crisis, but you can push buttons to close an elevator and they even have real elevator doors that cover the screen, and you can even use those doors as shields!  

Aside from green, my other favorite color is gray, believe it or not.  When I was a kid, I would get a lot of weird looks from people when I told them that was one of my favorite colors.

I know a lot of people praise Yars Revenge, but I just could never get into it.  My favorite Atari 2600 game is Pressure Cooker.  You can play it on some of the Activision Anthology games.  Might be on Game Room, too.  It's surprisingly complex for a 2600 game.

I've finished writing the review, but I have it scheduled to post at a later date.  So I can't give you a link to it right now, but you know the next time I write a blog you'll probably see it there!  :)

Hey good to hear from you.  Like I said in my article, I actually don't like Oreos that much.  I don't like creme filling in things like Oreos or Twinkies.  If they took that out, I'd be fine, but I bet a lot of others wouldn't be!

I didn't even know McDonald's Shamrock Shakes existed until I read about them on the Internet.  And even then, I don't think they sell them around here, or they don't advertise them because I probably still would've never heard of them otherwise.  I probably wouldn't drink one anyway, I don't like mint.

Since green is my favorite color, I have no problems wearing green on St. Patrick's Day, whether I'm working or not!
