What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Atari Flashback Classics (Switch)

October 9th, 2024

Yesterday was a little busy, so I just ended up turning on Atari Flashback on my Switch and playing five or six rounds of Night Driver. I hadn't really messed with this before, but I set myself a "get a score of 50" goal and played until I reached it. It wasn't bad, though I found it somewhat disorienting that, at least to me, the screen setup made it seem like the car was constantly driving uphill. The simple graphics really work well in motion, though. It was neat.

I have some nice site stuff that I will post about Saturday, thanks to cool people on Neocities, but I dreaded getting out of bed and working so much today that I'm late to posting.

Last night, I was stressed and not feeling good again, so I didn't really do crafts or play games much. I did turn on Atari Flashback Collection for a few minutes- probably less than ten- and played Off the Wall, (pictured below) a decently advanced Breakout clone for the system, and Street Racer, which I liked a lot when I was four, maybe just because I was very easy to entertain.

There's nothing like neighbor smoke alarm problems to start the day, but now that all my excitement is over, here's a blog post before I turn on my work computer to get berated for the next 8.5 hours.

I wanted to play Activision Anthology last night, but my PS2 died. I sat on my floor and sulked for a while at that, as I was very sleepy, then remembered that I had Atari Flashback Collection on Switch. With that, I halfheartedly played Video Pinball for a few minutes and then went to sleep.
