I was playing 1981 games on Midway Arcade Origins, backwards compatible Xbox 360 game on Xbox One, when I discovered Satan's Hollow listed as '81. No matter that wikipedia says '82, I'm going with what the collection says. So I played it and thought it was good. 

After playing several other games on Atari Flashback Collection Vol. 2, I looked around for other 1981 games I might have missed and found Stellar Track for Atari 2600. I'd never played it before, so decided to give it a shot. I nearly gave up at first because it seemed too complex but I stuck with it and found a fun game. 

Konami's arcade game Strategy X is one I never saw in the arcades or even knew about until I saw it on Game Room on Xbox 360. I'm thankful for Game Room bringing a bunch of Konami games I never heard of. 

Just a short gaming session today. Got some retro action in on Activision Anthology and then played Minecraft with Mark for a while. 

I had an interest in playing multiplayer today so I jumped in Mark's Minecraft game. Then I played some retro arcade games on Midway Arcade Origins and then more beautiful button mashing in Odin's Sphere. 

As thundersnow boomed outside, Mark and I gamed it up. I did some retro '81 games and challenged Rangergirl again in Pinball FX3. Then the power went out and I switched to 3DS and ran a dozen Miis through the gauntlet of Mii Plaza games. Then, when the power came back on, I got into Odin's Sphere Leifhrasir in a big way the rest of the day. 

More than just Activision's Stampede for the Atari 2600, I watched the 1981 film Clash of the Titans and listened to the 1981 Kraftwerk album Computer World.
