Chances are that if I ask you to think of a classic retro console game, you’ll instantly blurt out Pac-Man.
I mean, it’s probably the most iconic arcade action romp of the 1980s, and likely the reason you’d consider buying a plug-and-play system like the Atari 400 Mini. However, I happen to use the tiny machine to play obscure releases that even players who grew up with the original won’t remember, there’s a specific caper that stands out as especially cursed.
Anyone remotely familiar with OG Atari 8-bit games will be too aware that it boasts some wonderfully terrible romps. For every groundbreaking blockbuster like Star Raiders, there’s a janky Ghouls and Ghosts clone like Domain of the Undead, complete with glitchy skeletons. But that’s not the nightmare I’ve been using the Atari 400 to play, even though I do like to fire up plenty of other stinkers.
