What do you reckon "not set" is?

Zifnab on an old Atari?

Who knew you played such awesome games Ant.

brief
Haha, it reminds me old Action Quake2/AQ2's glitches/bugs (e.g., stuck bodies).



I was a hard core computer gamer (Windows/DOS/Apple //c) for years after Atari 2600. For the last few years, I haven't had time and I still have tons of games (Crysis, World in Conflict, C&C3:KW, demos, betas, etc.) to play.

4-bit colour is a maximum of 16 colours.

The C64 wasnt 4 bit color, its limit was just 16 colors, which is more then this game used. This game looks more like the atari 2600.

Is there not a nostalgia channel?


There's 80s, which this is already in, and there's vintage, which is for <1980.

Anybody else catch the atari building at 1:20?


I missed it somehow. I'd point out the Commodore ad at 0:52, but that's probably too obvious.

Anybody else catch the atari building at 1:20?

"This looks like a must-buy for any gamers who are iPhone users... the style, interface, music, everything just looks amazing... according to Kotaku it will be out later this year."
What? This game looks incredibly boring. By style I guess it is refering to the Atari 2600 style graphics. Didn't see an interface. The music sounded like some cheap 64bit garbage, and there was not much as far as actual gameplay goes.
Definately going to need to see more from this game before it is a "must-buy."


I agree and disagree. I thought the music was good. I also feel the graphics were original and I'm fine with it being low-tech. I appreciate games that don't feel the need to focus on graphics but instead overall game play/storyline etc. BUT the game does look boring. I assume the game has more to offer than wandering around with no apparent purpose. The teaser should have shown that.

That's an extremely impressive strawman you've got there. You've clearly put a lot of work into it.

Personally, I find myself angry and depressed upon each FF release because it's such a sad and pathetic commentary on the world we live in. Here we have a series built on bad storytelling, bad characters, bad plots, bad gameplay, and bad interface design and it's one of the most celebrated game franchises of all time. It would be like Atari Teenage Riot putting out albums for 20+ years and all of them going double-platinum.

I really don't understand all the Final Fantasy bashing. Final Fantasy = Epic-ish storyline & Archetypal characters & Combat engine & Pretty graphics. Everyone knows this by now, and yet every release everyone whines about how Squaresoft really screwed the pooch this time around, Final Fantasy 6/7/8/10 was way better, and if they don't pull their head out of their ass the company is finished. Never mind that they have enough money to print their next limited edition release on actual gold discs. Okay that's exaggerating, but you see my point.
The point is that you already know for the most part what you're getting into when you open the box, and it should not surprise you. I enjoyed the crap out of Final Fantasy XIII because the graphics amazed me, the combat system was fun and engaging, and I actually enjoyed the story's pacing for the most part. It doesn't hurt that I think their characters have been getting better with each subsequent release. If you can't stand the characters, or don't like the combat, or aren't willing to watch for 20 hours while the thing gets going, then play a different game. No-one is forcing you to buy this one, and I'd be happy to recommend alternatives.

Woohoo! My 2 first consoles in that review. Sears Pong and the Fairchild Channel F.

Yeah, so all my friends had the Atari 2600 but we bet on the Fairchild. My first life lesson in market share. The Fairchild was a million times better than the Atari but the 2600 had better ads.
