a website about my video games. I think
Until yesterday I had forgotten that i had Donkey Kong for the Atari 2600. It was one of my favorite Atari 2600 games. i think I spent a lot of time playing it. Climbing the ropes was fun. I liked the sound effect when Donkey Kong climbed the ropes.
I don’t know how many levels the game had. One thing I am sure of is that I did not get through all the levels of the game. Not even close.
I didn’t know much about the game and still don’t.
present. That is the way I remember it. I remember playing the games a few times. I liked the noise and the sight of the spaceship when it dropped from the sky and landed at the beginning of the game.
I had no clue about how to play the game. What was I supposed to be doing? What was the objective? I had no idea. I wold walk around and fall into pits. I don’t know what they were called. And then I would press the button on the controller to make ET rise out of the pit. AT least I figured out how to get ET out of the pit.
Maybe I should have left the game on the start screen so I could listen to the music instead of trying to play the game.
So to sum up I liked the sound effects of E.T. for the Atari 2600 but, had no clue about what I was supposed to do in the game.Maybe I should have tried to figure out what to do in the game more. Gave it more thought.
on the Atari 2600 I read in 100 best video game characters that pacman had 255 levels. I don’t know how many levels the Atari 2600 pacman had but, I am sure it had more levels than the ones I was able go get past.
I probably only got past level 2. I was not good. Of course I never thought much about how I could be better at the game.
I liked the the sound of pacman eating the pellets. And when I ate one of the things that would make the ghosts blink I liked that sound. I think it was a square that made it so that the ghosts could not kill pacman.
I don’t have any special memories of playing pacman.
If I can remember anything else I want to write about pacman I will write it in another blog post.
Atari 2600. I don’t remember when I got it, or why I got it. All I remember is that my parents bought it. I don’t remember playing it often but, I did play games on the console often.
Let me see if I can remember the games we had. We had battle zone, Frogger, pacMan, pit fall, E.T., football, basketball, space invaders, volleyball. As I remember it I got E.T and pitfall as birthday gifts. That is all the games I can remember right now.
The only Atari 2600 hundred video games I remember being good at were football, basketball, volleyball. I just remembered that we also had baseball. I think I was good at the sports games because they were not hard to play.
I don’t remember thinking about how to get better at the games. I played them and that was it. I did not say to myself I am not good at pacMan or space invaders so how am I going to get better. I played the games and never thought about them much when I was not playing them.
