跳华尔兹为梦想家

我们带来在家Atari 2600的天是一天许多第一为我。 例如，它是，第一次我的父母告诉我说谎。 当我们堆了在我们的砖红色AMC外面，妈妈偶然地提及了， “如此，如果某人要求，我们得到了它作为礼物。 我们是后边在租，并且，如果房东发现了我们在此上花金钱，好…” 一旦爸爸给了房东所有清楚的信号，妈妈猛拉了巨型黑和橙色箱子在树干外面并且横跨我们的公寓住宅区庭院冲刺了与带路的爸爸。 保留步幅在他们之后，我姐妹和我发现了这行为迷人，好象我们国际间谍家庭。 读更多

Listening to Programs Load

On a desk in my house is a cassette tape. On one side of the tape is the first half of Frank Zappa’s album Joe’s Garage. On the other side of the tape is screeching, metallic static that sounds not unlike Lou Reed’s album Metal Machine Music. It’s a computer program, specifically a game called Madness and the Minotaur for the TRS-80 Color Computer. It was a text adventure game that used words to describe an alluring and dangerous labyrinth. It was a game of the mind. Read more

A Quarter in Denver

When I handed the reigns over to Peter for our annual retro issue, I was planning on escaping into the mountains of Colorado for some much needed vacation.

Intellivision Overlays

Mattel’s Intellivision was one of the big casualties of the console wars of the early 1980s. Initially it held its own against the top-dog Atari 2600 with a wide range of games, the Intellivoice system and blueblood author George Plimpton as a pitchman. Eventually doomed by a general decline in the gaming market and failure to deliver a promised keyboard attachment, the Intellivision is now little more than a footnote in gaming history. Read more
