Activision Tennis review. http://www.ClassicGameRoom.com Classic Game Room reviews TENNIS for Atari 2600 from 1981 by Activision. Tennis is a fun two player game on Atari 2600 but fails to deliver real single player action because the computer is smarter than you are. It's like playing chess against HAL 9000. Enjoy this competent programming effort that looks like real tennis with somewhat life-like players holding tennis rackets as they bat the ball back and forth across the lush, grassy tennis court. CGR Activision's Tennis video review features Tennis video game gameplay on Atari 2600. Select from four modes of gameplay (two single player and two 2-player modes) and choose your difficulty (A or B) as your compete to become the tennis pro champion in 1981's TENNIS for Atari 2600.Read more

WATCH IN HD! Classic Game Room HD reviews SUB CHASE! for the Magnavox Odyssey 2 video game console from 1978. This game is a 2 player game that reminds Classic Game Room of Air Sea Battle for the Atari 2600, but it's not, IT'S SUB CHASE! You are chasing submarines and blowing them up while avoiding the neutral ships... GET IT!??? One player plays as the submarine (the Shark) and the other as an airplane (the Hawk!). It is a fun game and really old school.. so old school that school wasn't even invented yet (that's made up). Sub Chase comes on the same game cartridge as Armored Encounter, also reviewed by the Classic Game Room retro gaming review show. Two semi-awesome games on one cart, can't beat that! Classic Game Room is the only retro reviewer making Magnavox Odyssey 2 video game reviews in High Definition. Take that.... PS3 and 360! The Maggie O2 (or Videopac G7000 in Europe) now has reviews on the same level as your fancy new HD games... oh yeah, Sub Chase in HD clarity! You can see all the details on the sub like the four pixels that make it. Is that a flag or periscope?Read more
Classic Game Room HD reviews ARMORED ENCOUNTER! for the Magnavox Odyssey 2 video game console from 1978! This game is basically the Magnavox version of Atari's Combat. Except without the nifty airplanes and invisible tanks. It shares a game cartridge with Sub Chase! (which is the better of the 2 games) and plays on your Magnavox O2 or Philips Videopac G-7000 if you live in Europe. This is a game of tank warfare, one on one, where you try and destroy your opponent's tank with brutal, unrelenting force. Destroy it with guided missiles, landmines and straight up gangsta' style tank cannon fire! Booya! Send your friend's tank to the tank scrapyard with this intense game of Combat... but it isn't Combat. Combat was for the Atari 2600. This is for Magnavox! Classic Game Room is the ultimate retro video game reviewer this side of the 9th moon of Endorx. The flying bird people f Xzongar-7 said "Classic Game Room is the best game reviewer on YouTube", and the half-panda, half mer-maid fish cyborgs from Canada agree! Classic Game Room is the best reviewer or PS3 and Xbox 360 and Wii games according to 3 out of 4 splinter cells in purgatory. That's amazing! Retro reviews, good times and brand new video game footage. Classic Game Room delivers! Enjoy this review of Armored Encounter responsibly.Read more
