i thought this was cool. a well done game of matching box art for 2600 games to a screenshot of the game. see what you can get!

Easy 10/10. That was WAY too easy (for an Atari geek). Someone needs to make hard version of that.

10/10 not bad ..you can mix it up and try again over and over for different answers...

yeah, it randomizes each time you play.

I got 10/10 3 times in a row easily. It's mostly so easy because the other 2 screenshots are obviously not it if you know the games at all, even if you don't know the box art.

I'm not knocking it, it's still cool, but it would be a bit harder if the answers were titles only (no screenshots), and they were chosen to be more difficult choices. To give an obvious example, Bowling and Basketball obviously don't go with those space box arts, whether a screenshot or title, so you can eliminate that one right off the bat.

i agree, it's cake if you know the games like i imagine most people here do.
i actually heard about this from a friend who isn't into atari and i imagined him trying to get some of the answers. he must have seen it on a blog or something.
i just went thru it again a few times and was surprised to see alfred challenge and conquest of mars in the mix.
