[http://www.atari.com/us/news/2111?PHPSESSID=8f3f763ee5f7136a591a8058a619a8d3](http://www.atari.com/us/news/2111?PHPSESSID=8f3f763ee5f7136a591a8058a619a8d3) 85 Atari games – arcade classics and the old 2600 games – all on one game disc for PS2 and XBox. All for 20 bucks! If I can hook up the PS2 in my basement, invite a bunch of friends, and get the right mix of musty carpet smell and BO, it’ll be just like I was a kid again! ---

Holy crap! I now have an excuse to buy one of those accursed game machines. I don’t know why, but I’ve hated every game console since the original Nintendo. Too many damn buttons. I never have any idea WTF is going on. ---

And after a few dozen rounds of _Combat_, you can pop in your laserdisk copy of _Star Trek: The Motion Picture_. I wonder if the collection will include _Custer’s Revenge_.
