We've enhanced MK4's graphics with 2x and 4x rendering modes, which give the 1997 arcade original a smooth, modern look. It's entirely optional -- run at the original resolution with the CRT filter for authenticity!

You know- not too far fetched of an observation. Johnny Froggerseed.

I dunno, around 1983 or so, at an arcade in a K-Mart, a kid showed me that a swift kick, not that hard, to the coin door of the Frogger machine added a credit. That's how I broke my toe, but also got the high score on Frogger.

Let's imagine that your favorite subscription game services and media streaming platforms didn't even increase their prices, if they simply reminded you how much you are paying them, a lot of us would probably cancel them.

I would have been there ready to play some Firefox. You coulda beat me up and took my lunch money but if you invited me to Showbiz I would have shown up promptly.

Indeed. Far be it from me to decide these things, but in the climactic final scene, when Freder takes his father’s hand and the workers’ leader Grot’s hand, and brings them together, we quick fade to some Smashmouth All-Star.

Metropolis would be better if it wasn’t silent.

In Knight Rider, you can play Intellivision Auto Racing with an Atari joystick and it’s a testament to the technological superiority of K.I.T.T.

Knight Rider is 43 years old today. Still one one of my favorite star cars and the theme song still sounds amazing decades later. I still want to a car that can drive itself while I play Atari.
