it was terrible. You couldn't even control the players, you just called plays. This was like, 1997.

Tom Landry Football, by chance?

Did you get 15% off?

play action football?
ha! yes!

my cousins showed me play action football on snes and I thought it was a pretty good game. So I went out and bought the nes version...then found out how lame it was that I could only pick plays...needless to say, I went straight back to tecmo superbowl and said piss on that game.

nothing compares to that alco smell.

I remember when Alco sold Atari games for a $1. That's where I got 'Fast Eddie'. Severely underrated game that almost no one has ever heard of. This was prob about 84 or so.

Most of this board wasn't even born yet. I remember when Atari games were the crap. Nothing like blitzing the game on Asteroids for the first time or staying up til 3 am playing tournament Combat. River Raid, Pitfall, those were the days. My best game was Empire Strikes Back. Destroy Snow Walkers with your blocky snow speeder. Repeat until they got too fast and reached your base. &@#% Playstation, XBox and all that. Those were real games. One button and your joystick and you enjoyed it over and over again.
Sad with all the technology that we have, the first program I downloaded to my Palm Pilot was Atari Classics: Pong, Asteroids, Centipede, Adventure, Breakout, Yars Revenge. and Missile Command. I was so good at most of those, but they're damn near impossible to play worth a crap on a Palm.

I think most of us are a lot older than you think. I'd say almost half of the normal board denizens do not live in Manhattan. That said, most of us are 30 plus or minus 2 years.

30 plus or minus 2 years minus 7 years. I thought I was one of the older people on this board (ie legal drinking age) and I am younger then your equation.

I was thinking more of our Manhattan High contingent.

Was that the game with the 45-degree over-the-shoulder camera, and the high school teams?

That game cracked me up. It took like 30 seconds to run the length of the field.

That must have been the 2-star athletes.

I was a big fan of Pitfall, but never had the patience as a kid to beat it.
Did you ever play the atari football game? If the offense broke got into the open field, you could run you defender off of the screen the opposite way and he'd pop out in front of the runner.

i bought an emergency lure there once.

I didn't think you could finish Pitfall. You could finish Pitfall II. Took me forever. Depends on which football game. We had one with 2 WR 3 OL and a QB against 2 CBs, 3 DLs and an LB. Wasn't any fun against the machine. On easy you could bust every run for a TD. Against the machine you couldn't hope to juke. Had to pass all the time and ply a sort of WCO.

The only real way to finish Pitfall was to collect all of the treasures before time ran out -- but I don't think anything special happened.
I have this football game, apparently called Super Challenge football, even though the cartridge just says "Football": http://www.videogamecritic.net/2600ss.htm (http://www.videogamecritic.net/2600ss.htm)
(http://www.videogamecritic.net/images/2600/super_challenge_football.png)
before every play defensive play your guy went down the line and told each "guy" whether to rush or stay in pass coverage (by pulling left or right).

I always played as UCLA because their KR was fast, generally I could return it every time.
Their was also an exploit with the nose tackle, if you "dove" right as the QB hiked the ball you could get a sack every time.

You could do that in Tecmo Super Bowl most the time. I had about 150 sacks a season.
