Jeux d'Atari trop mauvais d'être vrai [ Atari 2600

I took one look and knew it was satire because one of the writers for this site, Jason Torchinsky, is a comedian and a name I remember as the editorial cartoonist of <em>The Daily Tar Heel</em> back when I was at N.C. State's <em>Technician</em> in the early 1990s.</p> <p>But play along, because it's funny. Why look, his site, the Van Gogh-Goghs, have unearthed from some New Mexico landfill documented evidence of 11 scrapped projects for the Atari 2600! The casualties included such licensing/adaptations as <em>Bosom Buddies</em> (a cross between <em>Kaboom!</em> and <em>Donkey Kong</em>, and <em>Kramer vs. Kramer</em> (like Pong with children). My favorite, because I like poop jokes, is <em>Gunther Gebel-Williams' Cage Cleaner.</em> The bogus rationale for the bogus game sounds like pure pre-video-game-crash self-b.s.ing: "You can't blow up asteroids in real life, but you sure as [expletive deleted] can clean up [expletive deleted]."</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.vgg.com/2600/bestgamesmain.html">The Best Atari 2600 Games You Never Heard Of</a> [The Van Gogh-Goghs, via <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.watercoolergames.org/archives/000967.shtml">Water Cooler Games</a>]</p> <br style="clear:both;"/> <img alt="" style="border:0;height:1px;width:1px;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?i=ef6bdf13738dbba06e04a0cc80832b8b" height="1" width="1"/>
