Enduro Atari Activision

Enduro is another Activision classic, and the best racing game on the Atari. Grand Prix is also pretty fun, and of course there is always Pole Position. Enduro is more like Outrun, you drive across varied scenes at high speed. 

Game features, ice, fog, day and night effects. Easy to pick-up and play, very impossible to master. A must have for any collector. Included in the Activision Antology for GBA and PS2. I own both versions, as they are excellent and have a nice virtual interface.

The main thing I like about Enduro is how long the races last, you'll be driving for minutes, instead of the seconds most other racing games of this era provided.

Venture

Venture is like Berzerk but worse. It's still a fun game, and it's theoretically an adventure, but so is Berzerk if you want it to be. It was released in 1982, but it probably could have been better than it is. 

Still, there is an unmistakable, hard-to-define quality that keeps players coming back for more in Venture.

Atari Galaxian Screenshots

Playing some Galaxian, one of the best home ports of arcade games on the 2600. I actually prefer this version to the arcade machine. The simple design and orange coloring remind me of an old CGA game. I managed to score 9600, just 400 short of my goal. I'm sure the world record is 10 million or something.

Another NESTalgia Screenshot!

An awesome NESTalgia screenshot of a lot of the players (But not nearly everyone!) with whom I used to play. Holler if you see yourself, you probably look a lot different now!

I'm the Fighter looking sick in red.

NESTalgia Screenshots

I played NESTalgia heavily over three months, and it was awesome. I've been playing more Realm of the Mad God recently, and haven't had time to play both. I found these screenshots from 6 months ago on my Desktop and thought I'd post 'em. I wonder how NESTalgia's doing these days; anyone still play?

I've considered getting back into it, but honestly I won't have the time in the next 15 months or so because of work-related issues. NESTalgia was a small community, and I miss the players more than the gameplay, which was solid--but slower-paced than I would have preferred.

NESTalgia is a free 8-Bit MMORPG for Windows/PC. I highly recommend it, and you can search for "nestalgia" on 8-Bit City to find numerous posts I've made about it in the past if you're interested in learning more.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Screenshot Gallery

Here is a collection of some of the more artistic Skyward Sword screenshots from around the web. Special thanks and credit goes to www.videogamer.com for these screenshots. You can click on this link to see their gallery as well.

These represent the best screenshots, in an easy-to-navigate format.

It's about time the Wii got it's Zelda update. I have to admit, after looking at the screenshots I have some high hopes for the game. The Wii party might be coming to an end, and it won't be long before all the Wii releases will be fair game for sites like 8-Bit City.

The systems, they come and go so quickly.
