About Me
My last name isn't Lutz. Lutz is one of my favorite Characters from the orginal Phantasy Star series on the Sms/Sega Genesis. The avatar I have isn't me, but the picture of Lutz from Phantasy Star 2.
Atari gave me a free patch in 1990 through the mail and I still have the patch to this day. I played Space Zap! in my parents basement back in the late 1980's and early 1990's.
I really didn't get into videogames before I was 9 years and the first system I got into was the Atari 2600Jr. I got an Atari 7800 in 1989 and another 7800 in 1990. I didn't get a non Atari system before Christmas 1991. My younger brother's friend at the time got my Atari 2600 Jr. in the early 1990's.
I own 2 Atari 7800's,Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket Color, Snes, Sega Genesis Model 1/32x, Nomad, Game gear, Nes - model 2, Snes, Sega Dreamcast, Playstation 2, Gamecube, Wii, Saturn model 2, SMS Model 1 & 2, Tg-16, Gameboy Color, GBA,DS, DSi XL and a PSP.
I do not sell any video games, game systems, or game magazines. I also didn't like to show off my game collection by pictures. I also usually doesn't list all the games either.
I only buy games that I play.

Gameinformer grades launch lineups

Gameinformer gives Atari 7800 title Launch lineup a "F"
Wed Jan 11, 2012 5:49 PM
I just had a chance to look at my new Gameinformer issue. Gameinformer was grading Launch lineups of most game consoles starting the Atari 2600.
Gameinformer typed Atari 7800 was launched in June 1986 and titles available on Launch day were Asteroids, Joust, and Ms. Pac-Man.
Gameinformer typed "The Atari 7800 was orginally supoosed to come out in 1984, but the Great Video Game Crash of 1983 caused the company to shelve for two years. That mistake is readily apparent in its paltry day-one selection of three titles. The 7800 could play 2600 games, but at this point who would want to?"
Gameinformer also considered that Atari 5200 and the Atari 7800 to have the worst console launches in History for their inability to offer relevant games or do anything to positively state the cases for those system.
There is one thing able the article they created that makes you question their research. They straight said that they are 100 percent certain that Super Mario Bros. was a launch title for the Nes.
