Classic Game Room HD – VIDEO OLYMPICS for Atari 2600 review

Classic Game Room was the FIRST classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999. Returning in 2008 with new episodes, Classic Game Room breaks out a review of VIDEO OLYPICS for the Atari 2600 Video Computer System. Produced just in time for the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing China, Video Olympics has the spirits of the Olypia of years past all wrapped up into one convenient Atari cartridge. Lurking deep within Video Olypics is basically 10 different versions of PONG. Sure they may use fancy names like Quadrapong and Ice Hockey, Soccery and Volleyball… but it’s basically pong. You watched the footage of the different events in the massive Chinese stadium like swimming, gymnastics and track and field… but does that really get you into the action like Video Olympics does? Who won the gold medal in rings… who won the silver in high jumping… what country won the bronze in the 50 meter dash…? I don’t know. But I do know that when you play pong you’re a winner. Watch the news for up to the minute.. nay, up to the second covereage of the 2K8 olympics in China, but watch your Atari 2600 for up to the second covereage of what’s going on in your Atari 2600 Video Olympics! Who knew the Ancient Greeks were on to this? Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD. The reviews on the HD series are reviewing PS3, PS2, Genesis, NES, Atari and Xbox 360. XBLA. videos review reviews show wii trailer celebrity star …

    This was one of my favorite games in the 1970s.

    Invite a bunch of friends, preferably women, a little bit of booze and other “paraphernalia”, play the Donna Summer music, spin the disco ball, and we had a great college party.

    Actually there’s a competition in Pong here in Sweden, it’s called Pong SM. It’s held at a retro game convention in the capital.

    you should review PONG for the atari 2600… it even has a PONG style frame around the edge of the playing field that says “PONG”

    Duck Hunt, Asteroids, and a Fable speedrun should be added to your Olympic lineup

    Did I hear the words ” 2600 online ”

    That will NEVER happen !!!

    Maybe if someone makes a movie, goes back in time & changes video gaming as we know it
