What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

2048 (Atari 7800+)

June 6th, 2025

Work has been a struggle this week, so I'm planning to enjoy a weekend of little activities and video games. Last night, I didn't get very far with anything. I started a new small jigsaw puzzle I had, from a brand called Micropuzzles, just out of curiosity. I got pretty far, accidentally launched it across the room when I got surprised by a text alert, and then got pretty far again. It's only 150 pieces, though, tiny as they are, so I should finish tonight.

I played some more 2048 on my Atari, too. I am getting into the swing of this version of the game, and got up to 512 in a couple of rounds last night. I don't think I'll see a 2048 tile for a while, but that's okay! I'm enjoying this.

I got a package from Atari Age yesterday and went a bit too hard playing 2048 on my 7800+. I'm not sure about this as a good way to play 2048, aside from the novelty. When it generates new numbers, it only generates 2, rather than 2 or 4 like most versions of the game. It's a lot of fun, though, and I'm enjoying going for the 2048 tile in this version of the game! Plus, it's neat to have physical copies of weird homebrew titles. The Atari 7800+ is neat.

Before bed, I played a couple rounds of Candivity, too, because I hadn't had enough of merging rubbish. I think this is the worst of these games I have. The pieces kind of gravitate towards each other in a way I don't like that well. It has unlockables, though, giving it a concrete end, so I might press on with it so I can delete it off my Switch.
