THE REVIEW

Glüönë: “Who put those pseudo-trees there?”.

Müönë: “What are you doing?”.

Glüönë: “Why do the enemies shoot bullets with absurd trajectories?”.

Müönë: “Do you want to answer me?”.

Glüönë: “I'm playing a game of Halo 2600 on the Atari® 2600™.”.

Müönë: “Halo... for Atari? You must have absorbed too many particles!”.

Glüönë: “It exists and was distributed in a limited number of physical copies!”.

Developed by Ed Fries, none other than the former vice president of MS.

Müönë : “No kidding...”.

Glüönë: “You play as the iconic Master Chief. Your task is to go through 4 stages divided into 64 screens: outdoors, the Covenant base, an icy world, up to the Boss area. There are even weapon, speed, and shield upgrades”.

Müönë: “I can't believe my particle eyes! The ingenuity that surpasses hardware limitations. But there are so few copies, how did you manage to get the boxed version with cartridge and manual?”.

Glüönë: “Can I continue my game?”.

Müönë: “I'm having doubts, spill the beans... damn it!”.

Glüönë: “...”.

Müönë: “Did you use the teleporter that Mr. Scott kindly provided me with?”.

Glüönë: “Damn!... you distracted me, and I lost!”.

Müönë: “Ah! So, that's how it is! If I catch you activating the teleporter again without permission, I will vaporize you with the Phaser that an engineering section member lent me.”.

Glüönë: “...”.

Müönë: “You'll see if I don't!”.
