Play old skool console games online

Recommended Posts

lol, they are pretty old machines...worth it for the VCS alone

 

Having just played what 5 minutes ago I would have laughingly described as old classics I can now verify that my old games on the VCS are best remembered from memory rather than re-playing them.  I also played E.T. - The Extra-terrestrial, which was a commercial disaster and an absolutely awful game just to remember how bad it was, it also has a bizarre urban myth attached to it...(from the article)...

 

Negotiations to secure the rights to make the game ended in late July 1982, giving Warshaw only five and a half weeks to develop the game in time for the 1982 Christmas season. The result is often cited as one of the worst video games released and was one of the biggest commercial failures in video gaming history. The game's commercial failure and resulting effects on Atari are frequently cited as a contributing factor to the video game industry crash of 1983.

E.T. is frequently cited as a contributing factor to Atari's massive financial losses during 1983 and 1984. It is speculated that as a result of overproduction and returns, millions of unsold cartridges were buried in an Alamogordo, New Mexico landfill. In 2013, plans were revealed to conduct an excavation to determine the accuracy of reports about the burial.
