Yer also too young to have lived that when it happened. Those of us who played that game when it was in original release have lasting memories of just how piss-poor it was.

Never played, but based on what I've read, the graphical limitations of the Atari didn't help, not to mention that the programmer assigned to it was only given 6 wks to come up w/the final product.

But then, Atari had a tendency to go overboard production-wise...did you know they made more Pac-Man cartridges for the 2600 than there were players? :-)

I'd either say upper 2nd tier, or lower 3rd tier...right around $50K or $100K.

I have no clue...good Q. Aaron!

The funny thing is, I actually enjoyed the game quite a bit...I didn't own it, but a friend let me borrow it. A few years later, I found it for $1 at a major chain store and bought it...But couldn't figure out why it was $1. Once I hit the internet, I knew.

I know this one based on the fact that I had this one nearly 20 years ago on Atari. IIRC, it was E.T. Boy did that game looked patheetic graphicswise, but it sure was fun the first few times I played it. After that, it got monotonous so I stopped playing that game. If there's one Atari game I liked the most, it would be Pitfall(not to be confused with the Alex Trebek show).

You know what gets me down? Rainy days and Mondays. (If you think that was bad, we've only just begun.)

It's certainly generational. You whippersnappers are too young to remember Elephant Parts, but anyone in the general ballpark of my age or prolly some years older ought to know it pretty quickly.

Unless maybe it's really obscure trivia that I just happen to know.

Look at it this way: YOU have more of a life than to go looking up these questions on ATGS to see if they've been asked before.

Yeah, it's too easy, but only because I happen to own the man's entire catalogue.
