I just read a Wiki on the Atari 2600 Pacman game. I was completely lost for words at how the game was this big flop, listing nothing but flaws on how different it was from the arcade Pacman. The ghosts were wrong, the sound was wrong, Pacman's mouth was always opening and closing, and it just went on. I'm sure the writer was just listing facts dug up from reviews but was it really that bad? I spent many an hour playing Pacman on my Atari and I loved every minute of it. I'm pretty sure I got it for free with the purchase of my Atari. I didn't care that it didn't look exactly like the arcade. Hey man, I was playing Pacman! What do you think? Was it really that bad?
Looks like an Ebay seller by the name of Hellokitty11111111111 is selling some great, and working, NES consoles with a custom paint job. The Buy It Now price of $150.00 is a little steep but I will say that these are pretty awesome. Create a bid here.
Mr & Mrs Ewok, I salute you!
LYRICS:
It's been a quarter of a century now, people, since the Rebels won the day
They destroyed that evil empire and the galaxy was saved
Han Solo, Luke, Leia, Lando -- they're the heroes we all recall
But let's not forget about their big-hearted friends who are only one meter tall
I'm talking about the Ewoks
They were more than just cute, cuddly bears
Let's give some credit to the Ewoks
Without their help, the Alliance didn't have a prayer.
I was surfin' the Star Wars message boards and Lord, I was shocked to read
All the haters puttin' down the Ewoks -- they say they ruined the first trilogy
Well, they may have been added for the children and they may have been comic relief
And it may not make sense that they could beat Stormtroopers with such primitive weaponry
But why you hatin' on the Ewoks?
Tell me what did they ever do to you?
Where's the love for the Ewoks?
Let's give it up 'cause it's long overdue (clap your hands now)
EWOKS -- they're tiny warriors
EWOKS -- they fought so bravely
EWOKS -- livin' like the Amish
EWOKS, EWOKS
(take it Billy Dee...)
After Princess Leia crashed her Speederbike, who had our sister's back? (the Ewoks!)
And who was it that led the Rebels to the bunker backdoor for their sneak attack? (the Ewoks!)
And at the end of Act 2 when all was lookin' bad, who set those captured Rebels free (the Ewoks!)
Can somebody remind me who throws the hottest treetop parties in the galaxy?
You know he's talking about the Ewoks
They've still got it goin' on after twenty-five years
Ewoks! Sing it loud so all those haters can hear
EWOKS -- they're inspirational
EWOKS -- they sold so many toys
EWOKS -- a yub-nub now
EWOKS, EWOKS
Just watch the whole thing.
Need I say more?

Some sick bastard killed my Sonic and replaced him with Mario. Don't get me wrong, I love Mario, but to replace Sonic with him is just a sick joke. I ran across this game as I was messing around with an NES emulator. Ohh crap, I think I'm gonna puke. In other news, there is a team out there looking to make Sonic 2 in High Def.
