GeekParty's Tim Evans: "These days, every time a new Michael Bay blockbuster hits the theater, an accompanying Transformers video game also slithers onto the market. For the most part, these games exemplify the underbelly of triple-A game development. They’re the type of poorly designed, poorly executed titles that the industry could easily live without. But fanboys need their fix, so publishers like Activation churn them out by the boatload.
Back in the NES era, though, being a Transformers super fan meant watching cartoons and playing with action figures. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee never really find a home on any console…kinda."
“As a reimagining of a classic 2D platformer, Rocket Knight remains one of my favourite modern examples of the genre so let's see why.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
The upcoming Cronela's Mansion will launch on Switch, NES, Game Boy and SNES, with the latter now set to receive physical cartridges.
Atari has acquired Intellivision. The company announced today that it had acquired its long-time rival, ending one of the original console rivalries, dating back to the 1970s.
Wow.... two of my earliest gaming platforms. All they need is Coleco to round things out.
This is like Nintendo buying SEGA.
Good piece of history here.
edit: I wanted to read it but the cookies pop up is stopping me.
This was just before my time. I do remember my mom's friend having one all dusty in her apartment back in the day.

People forget that console wars are part of the history of this industry. The console wars were started by competitive companies all the way back then and continued through Sega vs Nintendo, Jaguar/3DO/NeonGeo, and PlayStation vs Nintendo and Xbox.
These companies are across oceans and competing for the same business. These companies created the console wars, not crazy fanboys.
I had both. Snafu on Intellivision was addicting as hell. Also had Colecovision which had Time Pilot. Combat was probably my favorite Atari game and both Atari and Intellivision had similar games like Pitfall and Jungle Hunt. It’s been so long I don’t really remember which game I liked bettter out of those but I did play my Intellivision a bit more than Atari though I’m not sure why besides Snafu. That was 40+ years ago damn I’m old lol
There's reason why we never got to play this game. The WORLD should have never of played this game.
It's right up there with Atari 2600 PAC-MAN and E.T.
