Wow you weren't kidding!

Looks like even Atari overlooked that small detail! But as far as I remember the labels were always the right way up when instered into the console. I could be wrong though, it was such a long time since I've played a fun hyper-realistic Atari game program.

-Cub. =o)

I gave all my Atari stuff to an Uncle years ago who wanted it, I would have to go to the Preplayed Game Store up the road to see what one actually looks like... I can't remember...

But if you go out on eBay and look at any Atari Auctions, they look like they are upside down if you were to insert it in the machine...

I bought one of those Units that play Both NES and SNES games... I still kick it on from time to time...

Sometimes, you just can't beat the classics...

I have the Castlevania Collection... All of them for NES, SNES, Playstation 1 & 2... I don't do the hand held games, so I don't have any for PSP or Gameboy/SP/DS... I don't think CV is out on XBox and I don't have anything newer than SNES to have any of the CVs for the rest of Nintendo's consoles... But I do have the CV for Mobile Phones... I plan on Downloading Metal Gear for it as well...

One of my favorite games from SNES was Metal Marines, but it become to predictable unfortunately... Was hoping they'd come out with a remake for the newer Consoles, but have yet to see one...

Lost Vikings was another favorite, that games funny...

I suppose you could mod an old 2600 and its ports (use it as a case)with notebook hardware or mac mini hardware and use dosbox. Running it with a vintage keyboard and mouse would look cool.

LOL! Obviously in favour of an old school (and I mean OLD school) software driver.

The interesting thing is, you could most likely end up fitting Pandora on 1 blu-ray disc WITH special features on it like interviews, game commentries, behind the scenes documentaries etc...
