For ages I have wanted to track down my favorite Atari game… none of my friends ever knew which one I was describing, so thank you, wikipedia, for your comprehensive list! It’s called Star Raiders, and my favorite thing to do was blow up the friendly space stations instead of refueling. so many fond memories!!!
oh my gosh.. watching the video– I know everyone of these sounds, I totally remember how to use the radar and hyperspace and aft view and everything! what, was I like 2? how did i understand aft view?! this may be my first gamer conditioning! It’s like an out of body experience… I can almost feel the joystick and pad in my hands! I had such a silly sense of humor, always! this was some of the sweetest time with my dad, ever! i seriously want to blow up that refueling bot when it comes to the ship in the video!
on a similar note, i am going to get an xbox with kinect with my next paycheck… i really need to admit how much i love video games- hopefully the DDR-type ones will be extra fun with the 3d body tracking!
