Title: Video Game Myths Post by: den68 on January 29, 2008, 03:50:07 PM The E.T. landfill, Donkey/Monkey Kong... I'm sure most here won't find anything new here. There are links to a couple Atari commercials that are pretty good. One is for Activision Ice Hockey starring Phil Hartman.

Title: Re: Video Game Myths Post by: Tynstar on January 29, 2008, 05:45:46 PM That Activision commercial is scary. Good article also. Thanks for the link.

Title: Re: Video Game Myths Post by: hXd on January 30, 2008, 08:21:55 PM They forgot the one that states that Captain Falcon is the Chuck Norris of Smash Bros. Fact or Fiction? Fact.
Myth Busted. Title: Re: Video Game Myths Post by: jcalder8 on January 30, 2008, 09:03:57 PM Is the one about the Atari carts really Fact though?
It doesn't seem like they provide a lot of proof as to why it is considered fact about from a Newspaper saying it was. Title: Re: Video Game Myths Post by: Sauza12 on January 31, 2008, 05:05:55 PM It's been the subject of some controversy, but from what I remember it is true. Atari themselves even came out and said that they buried the carts, but they said that all of them were defective.
Title: Re: Video Game Myths Post by: Cobra on February 01, 2008, 06:36:43 AM I already knew about the Sony Nintendo partnership. But the dates don't seem right on there, I mean Nintendo & Sony planning the CD addon for the SNES in the 80s? The SNES didn't even come out until the 90s.

But the dates don't seem right on there, I mean Nintendo & Sony planning the CD addon for the SNES in the 80s? The SNES didn't even come out until the 90s. But the SNES does have the expansion port on the bottom. I often wondered what it was for, probably for the planned CD add-on. |
