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."

    I find it amazing that with only three replies posted, this site is already slashdotted.

    Probablly being hosted on a 2600 and just melted down. I was rather curious, I guess I will have to wait.

    It's cool beans that people post links to web tidbits that the collective might find interesting, but why the farg don't people contact the sites owners to verify that either they can handle the ensuing trafic of a ./ reference, or if the site in question is mirrored elsewhere. I think this should be a requirement before people post links - especially to non-commercial sites.
