  • Circus Atari was fun, I don’t care what the GenZ ‘journalist’ says.

    The 2600 was so underpowered that it couldn’t even hold a full game screen in memory. Developers had to draw the screen line by line, in real time, as it was being sent to the TV.

    ugh, that’s how every console up through the 5th gen worked… It was only in the 6th gen we had an idea of a ‘frame buffer’

    In my mind, if someone asked me “do you want to take a hammer to this car? It’s for an event, it’s all authorised and you won’t get into any trouble” it wouldn’t matter what car, or even thing it was, I’d probably have a bit of fun letting off steam.

    Putting 50 pounds entry on it though (with 100% of proceeds going to a relevant charity) would show intent. You’re not just breaking something you were allowed to, you paid good money to go and wreck that thing.
