Now this child will live the rest of his life with both physical and psychological challenges presented by enemies who will constantly try to break him. They don't care what they break, it could be his spirits or his back, and they don't care how they do it, it could be through death and destruction or through mental torture dealt out by the various foes he will face.
This journey will see him lose close friends, it will see him hurt other families again and again as the twisted sociopaths escape from the prison that he put them in, it will make him an enemy of the government and a pariah to the public. He will have to endure all of this with the emotional baggage of a childhood trauma so shocking and ruthless that it slowly moulds him into his own form of psychopath, one who let's others die willingly, but thinks he's the good guy in all of this.
He should have wished for a new bike.

A little sarcasm on the local weather somewhere. The southeast US has been inundated with rain over the weekend, a tropical weather system that gathered a tremendous amount of moisture last week but never quite got organized into rotation, and until this afternoon, I'd not seen the sun since Friday.
I don't know where that was done, but it could have been anywhere across half the eastern US.

I still sit down and play old games. I have a working Atari and Super Nintendo. My friends and I will get together and have retro gaming nights. I have games I played on a Commodore 64 downloaded on my Wii, PS3, and XBOX 360.
That isn't to say that there aren't good games today, but I do feel that the FPS Kill Everything genre is getting a bit watered down by a heavy online focus.
But in all generations there will be a Yar's Revenge and an E.T.

The rose-colored glasses of yesteryear impair our vision of the past, but sometimes you had to use your imagination to get through the game. Whether that's still the case as graphics are more real-life and fantastic than ever is a matter personal and individual opinion.
I rarely play (and don't own any) recent games anymore, but based on advertisements, it mostly looks like the same batch of shoot-'em-ups, collect a bunch of tokens, sports matches, mystery quests, or drive-around-in-circles stuff we had 5-10-15-20-25 years ago. There's plenty of novelties, but how long do they last? If that's your thing, hey, good for you. At some point, I'd just stopped caring.
These two games aren't even in the same league. Yar's Revenge may have been a bit simple and repetitive, it was challenging. And it still is, when I fire it up every so often.
Did anyone know what the hell they were doing with E.T.? It's like you accidentally and temporarily stopped falling into holes, and then you cobbled together stuff out of delicious Hershey's Reese's Pieces, available in eight ounce and Fun-Size packages. Ask your grocer to stock some today!

I was comparing one of the best of a generation to one of the worst, not saying they were both bad.
Watch the documentary Atari: Game Over. It is about E.T. and a group looking to dig them up from the landfill they were all buried. Basically, the game designer (who also created Yar's Revenge) was asked, in August, to have a completed game in time for Christmas.
In the documentary they actually explain the game and how the maps worked and that the falling into the pits actually had a purpose, but the concept was so complex and difficult to understand and the game was so rushed that the final product came out as an unintelligible mess.

Aye, gotcha.
I once read they had about six weeks to make a game...kind of impressive, but I don't think I knew a soul that actually passed it. It's not like the previous year's Pac-Man port was much better.
"Yar" was supposedly named for Ray (spelled backwards) Kassar, who left Atari.

I also still play older games on occasion. That is also exactly why I purchased Rare Replay and The Mega Man collection on the X1 this year.

I have seen that a couple of times before, however I have only just now realised that it is in fact meant to be his hand on the gun, rather than an outrageous photoshop error!
