Yeah the ATARI logo makes me kinda nostalgic too .. eventhough i never owned one
..

I used to play around with my C64 (actually a C128D) , and later on my amiga.

And my memory serves me you are correct!

POP-QUIZ .. How many levels did you "warp" forward when you picked up up the M ?


And what was the name of this game .. it's not breakout .. but some clone ..
maybe arkanoid
Wait a tick .. I think I have that game on a arcade Emulator..

be back in a tick..

Yep .. It's Arkanoid...

It wwas great fun playing it although my skills at the game seemed to have faded
with time

them.

For what platform, Atari, C64, Amiga, Mac?

I anyone's interested, i found an Altair 8800 simulator (not really an
emulator) for PC...
The Altair 8800 was to my best of knowledge the first homecomputer, it
made its way to the market in 1974.

The RAINE emulator plays a good version of Arkanoid Returns (no sound though
and I couldn't get the trackball to work (deleted)).

BTW For all you people still following this post ...

RAINE is a multipal game emulator like MAME, it uses the actual rom images from
the stand up arcade game and plays them like they were in the actual machine,
which recreates the game from the arcade perfectly.

Can it play PINGO ?

Pingo was a push-blocks-(ice cubes)-around-and-hit-monsters-game that featured a
penguin very similar to the Linux penguin..

It was muy buen , sehr gut , rigtigt god , rigtigt bra ... etc

The pink B was the level warp :-) I'll have to boot arkanoid to check
out what M was.. (I think it was the pass-through-everything ball in
arkanoid II)

>POP-QUIZ .. How many levels did you "warp" forward when you picked up up the M ?

Only one with the B

I have it as a onefile on my Amiga's harddrive. Loved the arcade, btw!
