Unreal History of the Atari 2600

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it-ain't-no-intellivision dept.

Such_a_geek writes "Atari fans, do you remember playing Gunther Gebel Williams' Cage Cleaner, Typing Tutor, and Peabo Bryson's Cow Tipper on your 2600? How about playing the interactive Foghat 8-track while playing with your Pong action figures? Yeah, me neither. But thanks to this totally fake but quite convincing screenshots in this alternate history of 2600 games, I almost find myself remembering these things."

    Ever see this one? Custer gets revenge and tears off a "piece" of injun maiden in the process.

    there isnt even a google or archive.org cache. Slashdot should create mirrors to all the sites they link atleast for the first hour

      thats not a bad idea - to pay for it, they could add that feature to subscribers' services. or, they could have a list of volunteer mirrors that got the articles, say an hour in advance of posting, and just post those links along with the article. id volunteer some bandwidth for the community.

    I'm curious. How did you stop that program from running? I'm fairly confident that a 'Control-C' or 'Escape' wouldn't work. Did you have to reboot?

    After the review of my novel on Friday, it got over 20,000 hits per hour for the next four hours, and over 200,000 hits by the end of the day. Good thing I didn't try using my Bellsouth Personal Webspace to host it ;-)
