Gonna Fly Soon - Rocky (SMS) Review
On March 15th, 1975, the reigning heavyweight champion of the world Muhammad Ali faced the challenger Chuck Wepner. Everyone was expecting an easy victory for Ali, however, Wepner kept fighting back until Ali finally downed Wepner in the 15th - and final - round.
This was a surprise to everyone, even Wepner was surprised he had lasted that long. This even surprised Sylvester Stallone.
During this time, Stallone was a struggling actor waiting for any role he can take. During a cold winter day, Stallone stayed inside of a library to get warm, and he started reading Edgar Allen Poe novels. This inspired him to start writing his own stories. After moving from California, he was so low on money that he went to a liquor store to sell his dog for $50. Someone got him down to $25.
On March 15th, 1974, Stallone saw the Ali / Wepner fight on TV, and this inspired him to start writing his own story about a up-and-coming boxer who gets an opportunity the fight the champion of the world. He wrote the screen play is just over three days, A few weeks later, Stallone was at an audition. Although he didn't get the part, he did tell the casting agents about the script he had wrote. They were interested in his scrptp and wanted to read it. After the agents read the script, they liked it, and offered Stallone $25,000, but Stallone had to play Rocky, the main character of his story.
Stallone refused. The deal was kicked up into $375,000, but Stallone still refused. Frustrated, the agents told Stallone he would only get $35,00 for the script, but if he produced the film, he would get less than a million dollars. Stallone finally agreed. Stallone, with $35,000 in hand, went to buy his dog back. After staking it out for 3 days, Stallone met with it's new owner. Stallone offered $100 for the dog, but the owner refused and told Stallone how much the dog meant to him. After slightly increasing prices many times, they finally settled on $15,00...

The First Spidey Game
I've done a couple of movie-based horror game review on the Atari 2600 recently, and I've stuck with the Atari 2600 for another review. This time, I'll be switching it up, playing a game where you play as a superhero. The game is Spider-Man. Spider-Man was developed and published by Parker Brothers (a company know for board games) and was released in 1982. Parker Brothers is a famous company, but they've never really stepped into the video game market.
Spider-Man is another one of those infamously bad Atari 2600 games. Is it really bad? Much like Halloween, it's not as bad as you think it is, although it is very repetitive. Let's swing into Spider-Man for the Atari 2600.
Graphics, 5: Graphics are decent for the Atari 2600. Similar to other Atari 2600 games, there's not very much to talk about. The first thing you'll notice is the building. The building (from what I've seen) is only two colors, yellow and pink. Two random colors for a building. The mid to lower section of the building is just a giant rectangle with holes cut out resembling windows. You can tell it's a building though, but it doesn't look like a building. The top of the building has what appears to be a radio tower or a antenna on top of the building. It looks like a radio tower, with the cross-beams and the top of the tower itself.
The background behind the tower is just a pale blue color. It would have been better if the background had some clouds, the sun, or just buildings. It would have looked nicer.
The main attraction, Spider-Man himself, looks like what you'd expect him to looks like. Although he's made of a few thin lines (he looks like a stick figure) the two main colors on his suit, red and blue, both stand out, making Spidey recognizable. He also has a few animations. One animation where he's climbing, and falling. It looks great for the Atari 2600. There's not much else to say about Spidey, but his web is...well, different.
His web is always supposed to be ... Read the rest of this Review

Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The

The Unfortunate Chainsaw Massacre
In 1974, a shockingly disturbing (for it's time) horror movie was released. Titled 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', it quickly gained controversy and became very popular. Many were amazed because of the film's graphic content, and that it was inspired by real events.
In 1983, almost 9 years after the release of the original film, VSS developed a game for the Atari 2600 based on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Published by Wizard Games, who also developed and published Halloween, the game is less than stellar, and is often considered on of the worst games of all time. It can be that bad right? Let's see how much of a massacre this game is.
Graphics, 4: Well, it looks bad.It looks like it was made on MS Paint. I understand it wasn't exactly easy to make backgrounds for games in the 80's, but it looks terrible. In the background that never scrolls, you see a house, some trees, and what looks to be a truck. It may be Leatherface's house. The house looks decent, and the truck looks good, considering how far away it is. The worst thing in the background are the trees.
The trees are just a few vertical orange bars, and the entire top of the screen is covered in green, representing the branches and leaves. The entire top of the screen is covered in green, which is very lazy. It would have been better to break the green bars every once in a while to make it look more realistic.
There are a few objects placed on the ground in the game, which act as obstacles in Leatherface's path. They consist of wheelchairs. bison skulls (that what it looks like, at least), hay laying on the ground (which, apparently, slows you down) and a fence. All look decent, but the absolute worst are the sprites of the people. First off, Leatherface looks horrible. His mask is just brown with a thin black stripe on top. He only wears blue with black boots, and his chainsaw sticks out of his chest. And worst, the chainsaw is blue, so it blends in with his suit.

Halloween

The scariest halloween ever.... sort of.
In 1978, a new kind of terror arrived. Halloween was the first of it's kind, as well as the first modern horror movie. A crazed serial killer causing havoc throughout a small town in Illinois. Halloween inspired other movie franchises, including Friday the 13th. The original movie was very successful, and had roughly 7 sequels before getting a reboot.
In 1983, a game for the already dying Atari 2600 was released. Developed by Wizard Video Games, 'the Shape' appeared in his first video game, titled Halloween. Let's look at one of the first licensed horror games and the first Halloween game.
Graphics, 7: The game looks like your average Atari 2600 game. Some games have better graphics, but some games have worse. When the game starts up, you'll see a spilt-screen with two separate rooms. There can be black boxes on some of the rooms that can either be windows or doors. If there's a door on both floors, you'll go downstairs.
If there's only one door on one of the floors, you'll be transported to a new room. The floor is a separate color than the wall, only used to differentiate the floor from the walls. The walls and floors can come in various colors. You will most commonly see either orange, yellow, or green. Occasionally, you can see blue or brown. The walls and floors are different colors in every single room. It's almost as if the house has hundreds of rooms. There's also some cross-beams to separate the floors.
Everybody in this game looks like an average Atari 2600 character. The person you play as, who i'm assuming is Laurie, has to protect the child she is babysitting (or children) from Michael Myers. She is wearing a green shirt and a red dress, which makes her stand out from everyone else. The children wear a green shirt and blue pants, and they're also much smaller than anyone else. The main attraction (to me at least) is Michael Myers. He wears a gray suit with black boots (they look like boots) and a pale, plain, emotionless... Read the rest of this Review
