EPISODE 233: DOUBLE DUNK
Manage episode 266896600 series 1006140
As the once mighty ship 2600 slipped beneath the waves of the gaming ocean, Atari tossed out a few last games for the iconic, but now obsolete, system. Episode 233's game is one of them.
We're playing DOUBLE DUNK, a 1989 basketball game; one of only two basketball games Atari made, evidently. Is it clear from playing this game why that might be? Or did Atari miss it's b-ball calling the way I miss most three-pointers?
This week's short story: DAN DUNK AND THE DETERMINED DOUGHNUT
Thanks to Sean Courtney for the "Storytime" theme.
