Game Video: Taz - Atari 2600

Taz or Astrix (the same game, other character) is a simple but fun game. Avoid hitting the dynamite and get the goodies. Like a lot of games from this era, it starts slow and will increase in speed.
After completing a level, speed increases, goodies change and you will get more points for them. The first couple of levels are not too hard, but after a certain level the speed is increased a lot. The game is then in insane mode and only the best will survive (and I'm not one of them ;) )

It's a fast game you play in a couple of minutes, so great for a quick game when you are in a hurry.

Game Video: Yar's Revenge - Atari 2600

For today I have chosen an old classic for the Atari 2600, Yar's Revenge. The best original selling title of the 2600, released in 1981.
It is a game that hasn't aged that much. I even think the graphics are still pretty nice, its got some nice explosions and a colorful safe zone. Gameplay is fun and fast, and as most games for the 2600 every level gets increasingly harder.
This game has not had a real sequel and the gameboy color version sucks imo. That makes it still a good and original game that every retrogamer should have played.
