Atari Chat / Re: Missile Command book

Awesome.  Met Tony once at one of the early Replay events.  Absolutely lovely fella.  I made the mistake of embarrassing myself playing Missile Command in front of him though.  I think I lost it on about the 3rd screen or so.  He kept telling me to "calm down"  ;D

I've a load of retro books ordered for Xmas, but I'll keep an eye out for this one & stick it on my reserve list for when I get though my pile a bit.

Sega Chat / Re: GAIN GROUND!

I LOVE Gain Ground.  And you're right, it's been on pretty much every Megadrive compilation for decades & it still somehow gets overlooked!!

I think it's the fact that although it looks like a blast everything that moves arcade game like Robotron, Smash TV or Gauntlet, there's a really deep strategy to it, of bringing out just the right character at just the right time to complete the screen.

Love playing it with my mate Pete, who gets wound up something shocking because I usually tend to go a bit too gung-ho & end up losing characters.

Great game!

Hey mate, I never knew you was on here.

It sold out so getting some more made........

Oh wow!  That's amazing, great stuff.  ;D

I'm more of a lurker than a poster.  I really should get involved more!!

Thank you so much for this! It's a real honour & I can't quite believe our humble little game is on a real tape!  We had so much fun making the game & I really hope folks enjoy playing it. 

Absolutely love the job Ric did on the cover.  ;D

I just learned about The Atari Manual Tome.  This is a project by TL Westgate who decided to compile the manuals for all the Atari 2600 games in one tome.  It's available as a free PDF here:  http://www.westg8.com/atari.html

Check it out if you own a 2600 and are missing  manuals or if you play the games through emulation!

I'd never come across this before, but I've recently picked up a Harmony cart, so this could come in really handy!  Thanks for sharing!
