Actually,... maybe not, I'm not sure. I'm looking at it on steam, and it only mentions "single-player" on the page.

if thats the case, it kinda sucks.. i dont wanna play single q2 all over again. Maybe what they did is just proof of concept thingy. too bad though. I think  q2 rtx is one of the best games out there when it comes to ray tracing.

Ready or Not - finally fully released on Steam back at Xmas. 50 bucks I think.

Haven't been playing it much, only on the 2nd level, and the first one is basically just a simple warm-up.

It goes from ridiculously easy in the first level, to ridiculously hard and annoying in the 2nd level where you enter the internal courtyard/breezeway of a hotel with two floors above you looking down with a couple of elusive baddies wading back and forth behind the railings where you can't see them until they open up on you and blow the shit out of you. And every time you try to detain one of the civilians, inevitably another bad guy comes out and blasts you're busy cuffing them.

The Google doodle game for Halloween was really cool: a Halloween/trick-or-treat themed version of Pacman. Addictive, just like the original arcade game.

I remember playing the original arcade version a few times at one of the local roller skating rinks when I was a kid. As the 80's progressed, Ms. Pacman tended to be the one you'd see in arcades more often. I also had (and still have) the Pacman cartridge for the old Atari 2600 system. It was not like the arcade version. The levels were simpler looking solid block walls rather than designs with rounded corners, and it was a good bit harder to play than the arcade version due to the joysticks that didn't function the same way as the arcade stick. The ghosts seemed to move faster on the 2600 too. It was pretty frustrating. Not quite as fun as the arcade.

I guess someone saw how much the old atari systems are fetching these days and decided it was worthwhile to design and release a modern system to capitalize on the retro gaming craze.

Compaible with old 2600 and 7800 cartridges. I have probably a good 20 or 30 cartridges for the 2600. I have 2 of the original 2600 consoles - one that was my dads back in the early 80's, and one that I bought used at a video game trading store back in 2001 or 2002 for about 20 or 25 dollars... back when nobody really wanted them and stores were selling the games for about 1 dollar each just trying to get rid of them ASAP. Unfortunately I didn't go on a game buying spree back then.

I also see on Amazon that they have a special yellow PacMan edition of the 2600 Plus.

Might have to ask Santa Claus to get me one for Christmas. I don't have a power adapter that will run the old consoles anymore, plus, I think they were only able to connect to a TV via coax cable, which none of my TV's have anymore. These modern ones have HDMI as well as wireless controllers which would be SUCH a welcome addition. With the old ones, the console had to be pretty much on the floor in front of the tv, and with the cable length on the controllers, you were always forced to sit on the floor right in front of the tv.
