Atari Board Games

Read about these over at Arcade Heroes.

At the risk of stigzler labeling me as nothing more than a consumer (nudge), I'd love to have these for the box art alone!

Oh no my good man, you are an indisputable contributor. 

They do look snazzy, but I wanna see inside and how they work! If you buy one, post some pics...

[Adultery]

Well, see, if you get it and adapt it for GameEx, Stigz would be cool with it. Lol!

You know it Adultery. My blood ruins blue and orange..

I buy stuff. I'm a consumer! 

[stigzler]

Yes, but you also contribute, Draco and you're a talented moderator. 

This all came from a middle-aged-man-rant about these youbend stars who think they're the mutt's nuts merely for buying something, sticking it on a table and using superlatives and uneducated/uninformed judgements about stuff they don't really understand. Take this guy for e.g:

Knows bugger all about material science/the longevity of the object he's a purported educated critic of. Problem being it now takes you 30 minutes of clicking on videos to find decent reviews because of clowns like this guy.

Buying stuff =/= Talent

Damn, I'm off again.

Who goes out with that much tech crap in their backpack? That guy is a total wonk.

I thought this topic was going to be about the old Pac-Man board game.

I would like for him to set that backpack down on the bus fur a few seconds... 😇

Back when I was installing routers on customer premises, this would have been great just for organizing serial cables and adapters alone.  Couldn't tell yo how many times I fumbled around in my laptop bags looking for the elusive cisco console cable, which was always buried under a heap of null modem adapters, etc. 

His affection for the softness of the laptop area, that was getting a little worrisome

Oh, Atari board games bring back such great memories! I remember many evenings spent playing those classics with my family. Speaking of card games, I've recently discovered Double Deck Pinochle online. It's been such a fun way to connect with old friends who I can't see as often. We play a few rounds, catch up on life, and it's just like the good old days. One time, my friend Dave was convinced he had the winning hand but totally misjudged – the laughter was non-stop! If you're looking for a fun, nostalgic way to spend an evening, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.
