This time I didn't play Star Raiders too long. I usually have to refresh my memory by reading the instructions, but I wasn't into doing that this time. It's a little confusing until you read the instructions, then it gets fun. 

I forget about Final Legacy even though I've played all the games in the Atari Flashback collections. 

Some of my favorite Atari games are from third parties. I'm looking for a classic Atari console now so I can play them again. 

I remember that name from 1up. 

I'm sure I tried that. 

There were fewer games on Atari 50 than I expected but it was still fun to play games for 400/300, 7800, Lynx, and Jaguar.

I feel like I've played Crossbow on another collection. I'll have too look it up, but yeah, those screams are kind of disturbing. 

Yeah, the ports weren't bad. I kind of like Moon Patrol, both versions. 

I was keen to try Gee Bee, but I don't see it on any US collection. 

It's also possible my dad didn't get an Atari until 1980 and the release of the classic four-switch model, which my friend says I had. He seems to remember better than I do. So, except for the pong machine and those Mattel handhelds, I probably didn't really play a lot of video games, or even go to an arcade, until 1980. 

Augmented reality is interesting to me. Just put on some normal glasses with the technology and you get something extra. VR has you wear that headset, yuk. You're totally gone from the real world. I don't like that. 

Same here. I did love Bowling, which was a 70s Atari game. We played a lot of Golf too as kids. Adventure, of course, was memorable. Star Raiders too. There were some good ones, but the Activision ones had the best look. They made the limited graphics look good. 

I'm already thinking about the 80s since the 70s is so thin on video games. I was just looking at Namco's Gee Bee, a game I think you mentioned once. I'm looking around to see if it's on any collections, but I don't see it. Maybe you know something about it?

Right, sorry, I forgot about that. 

Sure thing.
