Damnable licensing rights!

On a side note I just heard cicada icecream was banned in Missouri

That reminds me of a law I read about. It was a list of odd laws that were passed in certain states.

In New England you are not allowed to make Manhattan style clam chowder. Or something silly like that. There was one about bringing steer herds into or through town on Sunday being against the law somewhere out west. Don't think that applies anymore. LOL

Ah, crazy laws... Those can be so much fun to look up.

Here's a really nutty one for you (though I don't remember the source): it is unlawful to fish from the back of a giraffe.
In a similar vein, alligators may not be tied to fire hydrants. (I really like visualizing the circumstances that caused this law to be passed, just for a laugh.

Ghostbuster's was pretty decent... same with Champions, if you like doing the same thing over an over again.

No, no they don't. They got a new CEO that decided "good" games were hard to do and they'd leave that market to Bioware.... they'd focus on making crappy games hoping to cashing in on licensed games.

re: Yummy Cicadas

if ice cream with cicadas is outlawed,what about cicada bug juice from my ronco windshield bug juicer?

For the most part, Atari doles out a bunch of garbage these days. Very rarely, there is a gem (not necessarily a diamond) in the rough.
