Óscar Toledo G.<p>I was pretty young when I saw the Rescue on Fractalus advertisement on the Compute! Magazine. Finally, 38 years later, I've my copy, and I'm having a blast! 😁 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retro</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrogaming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/atari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>atari</span></a></p>

Boris Kretzinger<p>I waited for around two years for this to get cheaper - well, "cheaper" as in still too expensive, but a range I was willing to accept. And here we are now: This framed game was given to High Voltage for the release day of "White Men Can't Jump" on the Jaguar by Atari. The seller had one for another game from High Voltage, but that went in an instant. Don't remember what that was, but this here is so obscure that noone wanted it badly enough, except for me maybe. Oh well. A nice collection piece and another small piece of Jaguar's history. Cheers everyone!<br><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/atari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>atari</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/atarijaguar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>atarijaguar</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/gamecollecting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gamecollecting</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/shelfie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shelfie</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/collecting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>collecting</span></a></p>

I still own my <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Atari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Atari</span></a> 800XL from the 80s. You know why? Because I can walk up, plug in a cartridge, play for 5, 10, maybe 15 minutes, and walk away <em>satisfied</em> and with a modicum of stress relieved. And they have a finite ending. You play, you keep playing until you die, and then you STOP :)</p><p>Wow I'm in full bore old man mode here. YOU KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN AND PLAY GAMES LIKE PAC MAN AND DIG DUG LIKE I DID!</p><p>:)</p>
