As was usually the case, the c-64 version of the same game was of higher quality and with more polish, but I haven’t found a good solution for capturing video from any of the c-64 emulators yet.
Anyway, Beach Head II by Access for Atari 800 is a pretty good game.

While testing ways to capture c-64 video (it’s a lot harder), I decided to go ahead and illustrate the differences between the Atari and Commodore versions of this game. I think you’ll agree that much more effort was put into the c-64 version, especially the inclusion of digitized voices (pretty mind-blowing back in those days).

Feed some cats, and they’ll eat for a day.
Teach some cats to hunt field mice, and they’ll eat mainly field mice, and not nearly so much cat food as they previously did.

Don’t be fooled by the playful nature in this video, that mouse is going to be dinner pretty soon.

Summer Games by Epyx for Atari 800 is a pretty fun game… I remember it being one of my favorites during those days, and I spent some time today playing some of the best parts of it again.

It took me about 10 minutes to get one of the girls to land on their feet in gymnastics, but I finally did it, for a 9.1. I did a 10 later but of course I was not recording that one.
If you are into retro gaming on the old home computers, this is one to try out.
Verdict: Summer Games by Epyx is a good game.

Hazard Run from Artworx for Atari 800 kind of sucks.
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
For one thing, hitting a chicken will make the General Lee flip over. Second of all, I clearly made the jump across the river, but because I landed funny, the game decides that you never really jumped the river, and must do it again (with about 0 feet to get your speed up). But third of all, it isn’t even really the General Lee, which has the number “01″ on each side, as opposed to the “10″ on this piece of crap. So, it isn’t even a Dukes of Hazard game, but only a Dukes of Hazard-
inspired game.
Fuck Hazard Run from Artworx… I can only hope that the guy in the other ad in that pic is about to masturbate to something more well-made than this game.
