OK, that helps.

Oh, I haven't written anything on Crazy Otto. I'll try to put something together. By when do you need this?

I'd have to agree, Ms. Pac-Man was a far more popular game. It would have helped sales. Plenty. The 7800 version is arcade accurate pretty much.

Thank you for the update. Better get Geordi to help out fix that holodeck!

Isn't this coming to the Jaguar also?

Oh, that is awesome!

That is cool. I'll check that out!

Here is a review of the game that I had written: Atari gave us a wonderful port of Ms. Pac-Man for the 7800 but they never released the original Pac-Man to the console, despite the system clearly being quite capable of reproducing that title. Maybe that was a good thing since it inspired Bob DeCrescenzo into developing more than just a port of Pac-Man for the 7800. Instead we now have a collection of Pac-Man games in one cartridge! Of course the original Pac-Man is here in all its glory but so is Ms. Pac-Man along with a thorough set of options for both games that also give you the well known “Plus” versions of both titles. You can now select to play on the original mazes or new mazes, you an select the type of game you want to play, the speed at which the Pac-People to move, the level of difficulty, the number of players, etc. This is all done through a very nice options menu that appears right after the well rendered title screen. The game is available with standard TIA sounds, which are done quite well. The game graphics are superb and, in some cases, improve upon what Atari did with Ms. Pac-Man as some of the maze colors and character details more closely match the arcade original. Pac-Man Collection is a superb title that is an absolute must for any 7800 owner.

Cool!

I order through a service called Mile High Comics but you can get them from a local comic book store. I also believe Amazon will have them.

For those who may not know, they are also rereleasing the original comics that were packaged with the games.

Dang! Very nice!

I have then on order. Waiting for mine to arrive. I actually requested all the covers.

I like it!

Looking forward to listening to this one.

That is one nice find!

Cool. The label looks very nice.

That is a nice find for $1.50. I'll buy it from you for $1! LOL

They screwed up with the launchg of the 7800 and what was originally planned for the system never happened. Had they done things as planned, Nintendo may have had a harder time taking over as they did. They also failed to properly handle the Lynx and the Jaguar. The Lynx was superior to what was out there at the time for handhelds and yet it did not do well in the market. Very unfortunate because it was and still is one excellent gaming system. As for the Jaguar, another missed opportunity.

I don't even go to McDonalds but those do look cool.

Very cool!

Here is in feedback on this game: Here we have a game that takes the classic formula from Breakout and updates it for the 7800. If you're expecting an Arkanoid clone, then you need to look elsewhere because that's not what Bob created with Crazy Brix. In this game you control a Deflector with either a joystick or a paddle controller (though I recommend the latter) to smash bricks (or, are they brix) that are organized in various patterns, a number of which play tribute to other Atari classics. Don't be surprised when you see a Tank from Combat or an Alien from Space Invaders, among others. To add to gameplay, the walls are not always smooth and straight as they are on Breakout or even Arkanoid. These irregular walls make the balls move in rather interesting ways that really add an unpredictability to things and keeps the game interesting. Visually the game does have bright colors and the animation of the brix as they are smashed is nicely done. They don't just vanish when the ball hits them but, rather, are slowly broken down until they disappear. Given the limited number of paddle titles for the 7800 (if you discount the 2600 titles you can play on the system), this certainly is a game to have to enjoy with friends or by yourself. Truly another Bob classic for the 7800. So go crazy and smash some brix!

That will keep you distrated but you need noise cancelling headphones or earphones.

Nice. I have a collection of movies myself. It's cool watching movies on the system.

Take that, Nintendo! Or, is that Nintendon't!
