Very cool game theme this round! I played waaaaay too much Barnstorming as a kid yet somehow still enjoy it, Freeway is always simple straightforward fun, and Fishing Derby is definitely my favorite of the bunch. Sky Jinks on the other hand I had never played before tonight, and I think if I never play it again after tonight I'd have no complaints about that  It took me a ton of tries before I eventually got a no crash run in Sky Jinks, and now that I have I think I'll call it good on that game and focus on the other 3 games for the remainder of the round.

 

 

Barnstorming (Game 4, B/B Difficulty) - 1:14.40

Regarding Fishing Derby - Does anyone else question the wisdom of fishing when a shark is that close to the dock, especially when said shark is capable of eating with its tail as well as it's mouth?

Great bunch of games. I’ve always loved Freeway, but haven’t played the others much. Fishing Derby plays great with two players (like it better than vs the cpu). Barnstorming is great vs as well when you pass it back and forth. Getting the handle of Sky Jinks, might be my least fav of the bunch, but not bad. All around, I always have a good time with an Activision game.

 

Freeway 8b - 23

Barnstorming 4bb- 1:17.99

Sky Jinks 4b - 2:52.72

Fishing Derby 1b - 99-82

My first score for

Freeway (8 B/B) is: 25

 

whenever I start this game - it makes me smile. It's just pure joy and has this kind of magic. It was like this 30 years ago and seems to be like this, when I watch my kids play this game.

 

(And happy birthday atari!)
