Re: Best Atari Game

By: ruach_navi<br>Date: 2/9/00 1:30 pm
<br><br>Never had a 7800 or an ST!!!
<br><br>@&gt;--&gt;---------------------<br><br> Hehe... my old joke is you ever
seen a working
7800? Of course this is a trick question since THERE
AREN'T ANY! :)<br> <br> Alright, a SLIGHT exaggeration,
but I swear every 7800 I've ever come across was
dead. I have yet to see a working one. In truth though,
I would love to see one working, if nothing else to
see Atari's version of Galaga.<br> <br> As for the ST
computers.. they aren't bad. I probably never would have
tried those computers but decided to tinker with one
when I became the newsletter editor for the Atari
Users of North Texas. What can I say? A Macintosh look
with a PC feel. Not a bad combination at all.<br> <br>
But check out some of the pictures I added to the
phto gallery and tell me what you think. I have some
ST's in there, a picture of my TT, OmniMon, and my
personal favorite, my Franken400. Take care,<br> <br>
