A Little Bit of Retro Hell
I turned on my hotel’s TV set today, and it started feeding me promos
for the usual movies and pr0n offerings, but it was also promoting the
N64 that is built into the TV, or more likely, sitting in a closet
somewhere.
They showed some box art, pictures of Mario and Donkey Kong, and played
some gaming sound effects. One of the sound effects was very crude, and
I couldn’t place it at first, but I was sure it wasn’t from an N64
game.
Then it hit me–it was the awful noise that Atari 2600 Pac-Man makes
when you start a game.
Someone has a sick sense of humor ![]()
