Official Game List for My Arcade Atari Gamestation Pro

My Arcade’s intriguing Atari Gamestation Pro features almost 200 games, including 138 Atari arcade and console games, and 60 Piko Interactive games for a variety of platforms. At $99.99, it’s not a bad deal as it includes two wireless joysticks with multiple buttons and a paddle control. Unfortunately, it’s a paddle, not a spinner, so it’s not supported in games that require a free-spinning dial like arcade Tempest. For games like that, you’ll need to use the inferior joystick control. Similarly, many of the Piko Interactive games are NES-, SNES-, and Genesis-era console titles that really scream out for a gamepad, rather than joystick, configuration.

There are a few surprises in the game list, including one Activision game, Boxing, and a title with a secondary license, Road Runner, both for the Atari 2600. Overall, it’s a nice mix of titles, but I can guarantee a few games that require other types of controls (including the aforementioned spinner and gamepad) like the trackball-based arcade versions of Missile Command and Centipede, just to name two, will be miserable experiences. Hopefully, there will be a way to use other controllers, particularly since there’s a microSD slot for firmware updates (and possible hacking for those so motivated).

And yes, despite the marketing claims, it doesn’t appear to include over 200 games, but fewer than 200, so perhaps there will be free bonus games that can be added via the aforementioned microSD slot. The other possibility is that they’re counting the compilation titles, like Video Olympics (aka, Pong), as multiple titles, to goose the numbers.

Why It’s Great Analysis and Review – Snoopy Presents: One-of-a-Kind Marcie

Apple has been a surprisingly good partner to the Peanuts brand since acquiring the home streaming rights back in 2020. On Apple TV+, you can not only watch all of the classic TV specials, but also the classic TV series, as well as quite a few new shows and specials produced with WildBrain. It’s the latter, specials, and in particular, Snoopy Presents: One-of-a-Kind Marcie, that I felt compelled to discuss.

Although keeping mostly in the spirit of the contemporary Peanuts brand from decades in the past, I’ve felt a bit ambivalent towards series like The Snoopy Show and specials like Snoopy Presents: Lucy’s School. They’re certainly competently executed and have some stand-out moments, but whether it’s the occasional personality that feels just a bit off-character, off-brand voice, or overly saccharin and non-substantive gag or story, I haven’t enjoyed these as much as I would typically expect. Of course, part of that is I’m a 50-year-old father rather than a 10-year-old, so my perspective and expectations are clearly different, but I think One-of-a-Kind Marcie, which was just released on August 18, 2023, was able to raise the bar to the point where I can appreciate the direction these are going so much more.

Snoopy Presents: One-of-a-Kind Marcie (2023)

Any introspective fan of classic Peanuts will tell you that one of the reasons why the IP is so durable is that each of the core characters has real depth. They have clear emotional and other psychological issues and demons that they wrestle with regularly. Charles M. Schulz had a gift for getting that pathos across in a relatively short series of four panels. These aren’t your average comic strip kids and the best of the classic TV specials were able to explore that.

Having created new strips for an amazing run of 50 years, 1950 – 2000, it’s fair to say that recognizing disorders at that time clinically outside what was considered neurotypical was either non-existent or in its infancy. These characters were just regular oddballs. In retrospect, however, many of the Peanuts characters exhibited characteristics that today would be diagnosed as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, emotional lability, depression, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and more. Again, it was a Schulz gift that he was able to explore some of these issues in relatively thoughtful and respectful ways without necessarily being conscious of their existence.

Enter the post-2020 Apple-led Peanuts. With a better understanding of everyday disorders that fall outside of the neurotypical range, Peanuts can become even more relevant, building on what Schulz, consciously or otherwise, established with these personalities all those years ago. And I can say with confidence that One-of-a-Kind Marcie not only goes there, but succeeds in a way that few other post-Schulz productions have been able.

Snoopy Presents: One-of-a-Kind Marcie (Trailer)

I’ll quote the synopsis from the excellent Peanuts Wiki:

“One-of-a-Kind Marcie follows Marcie, an introvert who loves her solitude but also enjoys helping her friends. As they train for the school golf championship, Marcie assists Peppermint Patty as her caddie, offering thoughtful and deliberate advice to help her win. Meanwhile, after coming up with brilliant solutions to her classmates’ problems — from hallway traffic jams to lunchtime pizza shortages — Marcie is unexpectedly elected as class president… a role she never wanted. Suddenly thrust into the spotlight, Marcie struggles to cope with the expectations of her new job and retreats as far from the public eye as possible. As the golf championship begins, Marcie is still in hiding and Peppermint Patty is forced to tee off with Charlie Brown filling in as her caddie. But after some wise advice and a little introspection, Marcie realizes she can still make a difference for her friends and the school — she will just have to buck other people’s expectations and do it her own unique way.“

This is where the previous decades of Peanuts exposure pays off for those of us along for the ride for any significant portion. Of course Marcie is an introvert. Of course she has signs of ASD. Of course she complains of sensory overload. We’ve known it all along, if only subconsciously. As with those who suffer from those and other issues, we love her anyway. And for those of us with some of those same issues, it’s always good to feel heard without feeling pandered to.

The best part is even without the excellent psychological exploration and expansion of a beloved, but minor, Peanuts character, the rest of the special is similarly well-done. The story is well-paced and well-structured, the voices are pretty much spot-on, and the art style is an effective merger of classic Peanuts style with lush backgrounds and comic strip-like incidental effects. It’s a genuinely effective modernization and one well worth watching.

Atari’s new Atari 2600+ console plays both Atari 2600 VCS and Atari 7800 ProSystem Cartridges!

Atari has just announced that the Atari 2600+ is available for pre-order, with expected shipment in November 2023. While my suspicion is that this is basically just an emulation-based cartridge dumper, meaning it likely won’t be able to play flash carts or modern homebrews with special processor chips, it’s still impressive that we get a modern way to play both Atari 2600 and 7800 cartridge games on a small, and relatively inexpensive ($129.99), HDMI-based system. The full compatibility list is here.

Atari CX30+ Paddle Controller Bundle

It looks like Atari also has a nice CX30+ Paddle Controller Bundle, with a 4 Games in 1 Cartridge, for just $39.99. That’s another solid deal, especially because the community is always on the lookout for working paddle controllers.

Berzerk – Enhanced Edition

Finally, the rest of the updated site is worth checking out for new-to-Atari (not the community) cartridge titles like an enhanced version of all-time classic, Berzerk, now with improved gameplay and speech. At just $29.99, it’s a far better deal than some of their previous modern cartridge releases.

Berzerk’s gameplay is timeless

I’d say it’s well worth supporting Atari’s positive retro efforts here. The current leadership really seems to get it, although I would have preferred the included Atari 2600 joystick to be updated with a second button for compatibility with the Atari 7800 games that require one. I know I’m set in regards to 7800-compatible two-button controllers, but I bet many new owners won’t be.

Mobile Game Review – Plague of Z

This review was originally written in 2021. It is reproduced here with no edits.

PROS:

A nice mix of simple puzzles and base-building strategyPlenty to do with the free base version of the gameFast-moving zombies

CONS:

Visuals are a mixed bag with little in common between phasesAudio is merely serviceableIt’s another zombie game! (only if you’re tired of them by now)

Apple App Store (review version) | Google Play

Although zombies, as first popularized by George A. Romero’s precedent-setting horror film from 1968, Night of the Living Dead, are arguably not anywhere near the cultural zeitgeist they reached in the mid-2000s, 50-plus years on, they still have plenty of staying power. Plague of Z, by TOP GAMES INC., which is clearly inspired by the apocalyptic worldwide pandemic-driven book by Max Brooks from 2006, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, and its hit film version from 2013, World War Z, starring Brad Pitt, tries to show that there’s still some life left in the shuffling zombie genre.

Like it’s Z-based inspiration, the zombies in Plague of Z are the more modern, amped up, and faster-moving zombies, which present a unique challenge over their slower forbearers.

The setup is pretty standard. During a zombie invasion you need to recruit and lead survivors in an abandoned city to establish a base of operations and break through the siege. When you found a new refuge, you need to cooperate with some survivors at the expense of others to make the best use of scarce resources.

Both static and animated cut scenes tell the story and set your objectives. You complete select objectives by solving simple puzzles from a 2D platform-based side-view. Hot spots are highlighted, and solving these puzzles usually involve tapping at the right time and creating a path for your sparsely-animated automated avatar to safely cross. If your avatar dies during these puzzles, you’re presented with a DEFEAT screen, but get to try again. If you fail several times in a row, you’re offered a chance to open a hint guide, which usually tells you which object to tap first in the sequence.

Plague of Z (iOS)

Once you complete these simple objectives, you typically get a building block for your operational base, which is shown from an isometric perspective. Further strategic challenges include initiating repairs, going on patrol, training recruits, or upgrading defenses. Select power-ups can help you speed up actions or increase offensive or defensive capabilities.

Audio gets the job done. A dour, bass heavy soundtrack complements the occasional spoken dialog and sound effects.

Visually, the game features a mix of styles that don’t always gel. There are the detailed, but graphic novel-like personnel who describe the situation and mission objectives. Then there’s the pixelated 2D side-views where you solve puzzles. And finally, there’s the semi-realistic isometric base-building screen.  At times, it feels like you’re playing a game designed by coders and artists who didn’t have much interaction with each other, but it’s something you can get used to if you’re not too much of a graphics snob.

While not the most polished game, Plague of Z does keep things moving and does a great job of introducing new play elements to keep you engaged. If you’re looking for a mix of puzzles, base building, strategy, and a bit of story, then this game delivers, especially if you’re open to yet another zombie-themed experience.

Score: 4 (out of 5)

Creative Computing Benchmark from 1984 showing computational speed of hundreds of classic computers!

Page 6 of the March 1984 issue of legendary publication, Creative Computing, revealed the then latest version of the Creative Computing Benchmark. This benchmark was a short test of computational speed and accuracy and the random number generator in the BASIC programming language for hundreds of platforms. The 11-line BASIC program was run on hundreds of computers, from mainframes to handhelds. It’s no surprise that the mainframes and minicomputers came out on top in the benchmarks, nor that the IBM PC compatibles also fared particularly well thanks to their combinations of processing power and efficient versions of the language.

In the last places were programmable calculators and low-end systems like the Timex Sinclair 1000 in its SLOW mode (it also had a FAST mode that blanked the screen, resulting in better performance). It was also a bit surprising that the Atari 8-bit computers ranked as low as they did, but they didn’t really come stock with great versions of BASIC. Of the non-IBM PC compatibles and non-accelerated computers (regular personal computers with accelerator card add-ons), it’s notable how high the Memotech MTX-512, Coleco Adam, TRS-80 Model 4, and Panasonic JR-200 (not sure if it was the regular 200 or 200U) ranked.

Of additional note are some unreleased computing platforms that were included like the computing add-on for the GCE Vectrex console, particularly considering the publication date being after the main console was already discontinued (There’s even the unreleased Atari Graduate for the Atari 2600, yet no Bally Astrocade or the many other consoles that actually did have BASIC programming add-ons, or even whole computer modules!).

Whatever the overall methodology for these tests, it’s still a fascinating glimpse into how diverse the computing landscape was in the decades leading up to 1984. Over time, many platforms would be discontinued and companies cease to exist, leading to the relative homogony of today’s computing landscape. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, of course, as there is a case of having too much choice and too many resources spread across too many platforms (and of course, woe is the consumer who chose the “wrong” platform in terms of ongoing support).

Whatever you think of the methodology used or the end result, it’s still a fascinating bit of history, particularly for those of us who are still active collectors for many of the platforms mentioned. Here’s the excerpt, which I tried to straighten versus the archive.org source (thanks to Chris Diehl’s June 20 post in the popular Apple II Enthusiasts group on Facebook, which seems to be the first of many postings about it):

Mobile Game Review �����Prizefighters 2

This review was originally written in 2021. It is reproduced here with no edits.

PROS:

Fast-paced touchscreen actionDoes a great job mimicking retro gameplay, but with added depthGreat sound designPlenty of features and options even if you don’t go premiumInexpensive to upgrade

CONS:

The visuals are merely serviceableThe wealth of options can sometimes be a bit overwhelming

Apple App Store��(review platform) |��Google Play

Released back in 2020, the original Prizefighters for iPhone and iPad was a great mobile update of Nintendo’s classic Punch-Out!! arcade game from 1983. The arcade game featured a portrait-oriented screen, which Prizefighters successfully mimicked for their mobile game. Of course, as a home game, Prizefighters added some much-needed depth to the quarter-eating action formula of Punch-Out!!. Now, Koality Game LLC is back with Prizefighters 2.

Interestingly, for this sequel, Koality Game LLC went with a landscape screen orientation more akin to the 1987 Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) home port of the arcade game, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!!. Its visuals are also updated, with a look somewhere between that NES game and the Super Nintendo Super Punch-Out!! game from 1994, although still not as attractive as the latter or arcade original.

Of course, what really matters is the gameplay. In that regard, Prizefighters 2 does a great job of capturing the type of retro boxing experiences it’s taken inspiration from. Despite the inherent limitations of a touch screen for this type of game, using your choice of button-based controls or touch and swipe gestures, you have precise control over your boxer’s jabs, hooks, and uppercuts, as well as dodges and blocks.

For button-based controls, there’s a virtual d-pad on the left for movement, four buttons on the right for punches, and two square buttons for blocks. The top button throws a right jab to your opponent’s head, while the right button throws a right jab to the body.  The bottom button throws a left jab to your opponent’s body, while the left button throws a left jab to the head. By varying your approach, you can throw crosses, hooks, and upper cuts.

The more punches you land, the more your momentum meter is filled. You can then hold any attack button to throw a power punch. It does a lot of damage, but is much slower than a regular punch, so you’ll need good timing. If you do land a power punch, there’s a solid chance your opponent will hit the canvas.

For defense, you can block left or right with the left or right square buttons, respectively. You can also dodge punches by tapping left, right, or down on the virtual d-pad. Combined with forwards and backwards ring movement, where you head towards or away from your opponent, you have access to a fairly large strategy set that you can match to your desired play style.

Prizefighters 2 – Stats on Android.

In the free version of the game, you have access to the action, or Quick Fight mode, as well as the basic Career if you want to fight for the title. If you want to upgrade to the Premium Edition and add Boxing Gym Manager and Be the Promoter modes, there’s a modest fee of $2.99 USD. This one-time purchase also allows you to customize entire leagues and open up 10 career save slots, versus the standard two.

There are plenty of options to customize features before each match and a nice stats summary at the end of every fight. Whether you want to micro-manage various aspects of the game or just jump in and punch away, Prizefighters 2 allows for it. This same type of customization applies to the other game modes, with, for instance, a huge range of customization options to make your boxer yours and advance his skillset in Career mode.

The sound design is also worthy of mention. While the visuals merely get the job done, the sound effects really help sell the impact of punches. The pumping soundtrack also helps add to the intensity of fights. This is one game where wearing headphones is highly recommended.

If you’re looking for a retro-inspired action boxing game with depth, Prizefighters 2 really delivers. Its wealth of customization options are seemingly endless with plenty of modes – even if you don’t upgrade – to keep your attention for a long time.

Score:��5��(out of 5)
