Adventure is so simple and I always think it will be boring when I start it up, but then I get hooked and play it through to completion. The other day my memory came back about when I first played it. I played all three game variants and got stuck when one of the game 3 randomizations made it unbeatable. I don't think I ever searched for the easter egg before though. I'm going to have to do that next time.
Yea, those things are terrifying. I remembered that the very first second I started Adventure the other weekend and went right away for the arrow and went hunting. Weird how that memory of scary dragons has never left me after all this time.
Thanks for reminding me about Minish Cap. Been wanting that game for years. GBA was a great system. So many cool games.
I actually gave my Atari to a friend after these collections came out. Having Atari Anthology and Activision Anthology really makes having the original deck unnessesary. However, I'm beginning to find some of the games really need that paddle controller on the original deck to play right - Super Breakout for instance. If I ever get more room to store stuff, I might get a 2600 again just for games like that.
I use backloggery all the time now (http://www.backloggery.com/knightdriver). It's my second favorite site after Pixlbit. It's really helped me organize what I own and push me towards completing everything. I don't list everything I've ever played but just what I own. If I play a game and don't like it or know that I will never revisit it, then I trade it and take it off the list.
I use the Wishlist a lot now too. It's a great way to keep track of all the stuff I want to get.
My favorite part though is Fortune Cookie. This is a randomizer that helps you pick your next title to play. I think it's really fun. It's become a metagame to my usual gaming. The site is really well designed too, just like Pixlbit is. Those two should get married.

If you get this and the Activision Anthology you will have all the Atari you will ever want. I wonder when this stuff will be released again for the new generation. Are the games now too old fashioned?
I love this game. So awesome. I logged almost a hundred hours into it the first time but still didn't beat it. I want to go back and finish it sometime.
