How many Atari games allowed you to select levels or bonuses to start? LAME!
I have to say, the fact that a few games that I own allow me to start with a bonus, potential bonus, or a particular level, really have almost ruined these games for me. What's crazy??? They are all Atari!! Why not let me start on an easy level and work my way to the harder levels? Why give me a bonus if I start at a harder level? All this does is make me ignore the lower levels. Which, I think, sucks! Why make me skip part of the game. I hate that. How about you??
The three games I own that ruin this for me are:
1) Black Widow - You can start at a harder level with a HUGE potential bonus. Why wouldn't you take the chance? Screw the lower levels!
2) Millipede - You can start with a 30,000 point bonus right off the bat just by choosing and starting with a harder level. It makes the lower levels completely irrelevant. LAME. This simple but lame bonus selection makes me think that Centipede is a better and purer game.
3) Paperboy - This game ALMOST gets away with it. Easy Street is actually a bitch. But, it still leaves those carrot's dangling for the harder levels and the potential bonuses.
So, what other Atari games did they ruin with their level and bonus selection??
