I would almost buy this Atari 2600 reissue just to play Kaboom with an original paddle
I am, and have always been, a rapid-fire dendrite-storm twitch gamer; much as I wish I had patience for complex strategy games (or, hell, even for RPGs) I just don't
I need a game where -- within three seconds of beginning play -- I am enmeshed in total chaos that gets exponentially worse by the second
Probably, Kaboom and the arcade versions of Robotron are thus my top ur-games
