...might as well say it: Pac man. Before you flame me, listen. The game is the result of browbeating and limited memory. Fry did what he could, but Atari is at fault here. classic? no, a technical achievement? yes. People always talk of how it killed the industry. i'm talking not about it's flaws, but about it's positive points. For one, Memory wise, i am astonished that someone could squeeze the arcade game into 4k! granted, it looks awful (hell i own both it and ET!) and needs polish regarding graphics. but it plays fine, and the ghosts flicker isn't that bad. i come back to it again and again because it's a simple game and the more i hear of it's infamous legacy, the more i laugh at the haters. So the ghost's flicker and the sound is terrible, so what? i don't care if the screen is a garbled mess and the ghost's resemble demons, i'd still play it. let's face it, there are games that are far worse than E.T and Pac-Man. Like Checkered Flag for Jaguar or Doom for 3DO.
edit: Fry is now a millionare
