    Donkey Kong - The Popeye that never was! 1200XL: The Best of Atari 8-Bit Gaming 17

    Donkey Kong replaced the boards of thousands of Radar Scope cabinets in 1981, and changed the world of arcade gaming forever. Is the Atari 8 bit port at the top of the heap?

AndyCraig! ,

8Bit Atari computer goodness

I’ve really enjoyed these episodes as they revisit some great games. Just listen to that glorious crunchy 8bit sound when games were made by a small team or one person pouring their heart and soul into their creation. No pay-to-win micro transactions here. No aimbot cheats. Modern games could learn a lot from this wonderful era . Good times!
