Retrogame Talkshow
Hi! A while ago, I used to spam this board a bit with my Finnish Retro Game Comparison Blog, which is now in a kind of a limbo. Meanwhile, I've been doing a podcast called RETROGAME TALKSHOW with a friend of mine, Bob Engstrand, since last spring. A couple of days ago, we released our first 16-bits ...

Re: Retrogame blog.
Holy crap, seems like there's very little action here on this forum, which is a pity, since the main site is awesome. Well, just in case someone pops in within the next month or so, here's a long overdue update to this thread, seeing as there have been quite a few Atari-related entries since October...

Re: Retrogame blog.
In case you haven't noticed, the blog has come back from its summer holiday. Sorry for the lack of updates here, but I haven't really been able to focus on the blog as previously, so you haven't missed much. Here's the first, long overdue update for you guys, including just the entries with any Atar...

Re: Retrogame blog.
Oh my, look how the time goes by. Since my previous update here, there have been several Atari-related entries posted on the blog, so it's about time to bring things up to date here. First off, today's entry is probably the most important Atari-related article since Eliminator, since it was made by ...

Re: Retrogame blog.
Time to spam here again, in case someone's reading. Here are the two latest, rather heavily Atari-related entries on the blog... ENDURO RACER http://frgcb.blogspot.fi/2016/04/enduro-racer-sega-1986.html ELIMINATOR http://frgcb.blogspot.fi/2016/03/eliminator-hewson-consultants-1988.html And I also ha...

Re: Retrogame blog.
Time to spam this thread again, it seems. Although the Atari-related entries come less often now than previously, they still do appear every now and then, and today's entry is certainly Atari-related. ELIMINATOR began its life on the Atari ST, quite possibly as Ammotrack, as has been mentioned here,...

Re: Retrogame blog.
Man, it's been long since my previous update here. Hope you're still aboard! :oops: Since my last spam here, the newest Atari-related entries at the FRGCB are: OLYMPIC SKIER http://frgcb.blogspot.fi/2015/12/olympic-skier-mr-chip-software-1983.html UNIQUE GAMES - AFTERLIFE, PART 2 http://frgcb.blogsp...

Re: Retrogame blog.
This month's Atari-related entries are two comparisons, neither of which originated on any of the Atari machines. So, if the results are not to your liking, perhaps it shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Anyway, the first one is a comparison of JUMPING JACK , which you would know as LEGGIT! - alon...

Re: Retrogame blog.
It seems kinda quiet around here on the Atarimania forum, but I'll update this thread anyway, just in case someone pops in. This year's month of Halloween-related stuff ends with a two-for-one entry including two Cosmi games: FORBIDDEN FOREST and CAVERNS OF KHAFKA . http://frgcb.blogspot.fi/2015/10/...

Re: Retrogame blog.
It's October now, so it's time to look at some horror-themed games again. 8) We'll start this month with an oddity of sorts - a game based on a movie based on a novel, all of which are quite different from each other. The game, I have to say, can be only loosely based on the movie, but it does have ...

Re: Retrogame blog.
Reety-alrighty, I've been slowly reactivating the blog and I guess it's high time to start updating all the forum threads accordingly. September started off with something I did for demonstrational purposes - a comparison of a game that only ever had 16-bit releases. And this isn't even the worst ca...

Re: Retrogame blog.
It's time for me to take my summer holiday now, but before I do so, I must update all my haunts about my most recent blog entry, or entries, in case I haven't visited some forum in a while. Today, I have posted the biggest single comparison (or at least, comparison in a single entry) about a game th...

Re: Retrogame blog.
Here's a comparison of an Atari-original, and an interesting one at that: REALM OF IMPOSSIBILITY . I'm not completely sure whether the results are completely valid, since I couldn't get the actual EA version to work properly on any emulator - none of the enemies would ever appear, no matter which ve...

Re: Retrogame blog.
First of a very few entries for May, here's something I've been planning on doing for a LONG time. There are two Atari versions included in this comparison of BARBARIAN - THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR , so there's something to keep an eye on. It's another long one, so grab some coffee before reading. :wink: ...

Re: Retrogame blog.
Since my previous update here, I've been so busy that I have forgotten to update some of my advertising boards, this being one of them. So, here are the latest Atari-related entries, which you might find of some interest... :wink: UNIQUE GAMES! - PART 7 (featuring A2600 titles) http://frgcb.blogspot...
