One of my favourites from the screen search console that my father bought me in 1993 (I have the same age as this game). Back then, at only 4 years from the anticommunist revolution, there were very few companies to sell electronics - in Bucharest, only 2-4 medium stores as I recall. Game consoles were still hard to find, and expensive, and I don' t think the original Atari 2600 (at the second hand, of course) could have been found in an average Romanian house, as it was discontinued before 1989.
So my dad found this clone, bought it straight from the owner. The white packing box was saying from under some nice screenshots "TV GAME 2600", not Atari, and there were many built in games. I never actually had a cartridge, so for most of those games I have found their names only couple of weeks ago, when I found you guys. I always liked this Weltraumtunnel, I was also watching Star Trek (TNG) those days. The grafx are awesome, especially the high-energy barriers, that light- and colourplay combined with the rich and shaky sound give you the feeling of something magnificent but also critical going on. Two thumbs up! |
