Kotaku
We're certainly not above giggling profusely at some retitled Atari 2600 box art. While the cover artwork on Atari published titles was nothing short of spectacular stuff—the Defender and Haunted House paintings expertly tricking my young mind—it's clear that some of these games were given unspectacular titles. I've Wasted My Life, however, is brilliant. And Tim Curry's Magic Board? I'd have played that.
These more accurately titled and described Atari 2600 classics are possibly the best box art jokes you'll see all week. Unless there's a Photoshop Phriday on the matter...

In the meantime, here's something fun:

You Kotaku vets should know this one.
Fuckin' birds.
@Pezdispenser: Apparently, we're digg.
I'm sure people with these little self paid sites hate it when their page gets linked by a high traffic site and then use up all of their bandwidth and get shut down.
GOTY? ;)
yes, we killed it =\
The page the link is attached to has been suspended.

Damn, I can't believe we've killed it already.
To be fair, this was linked to on fark.com, so I doubt that it was Kotaku that killed it.
"I've Wasted My Life," eh? Isn't that a bit prophetic for an Atari game? It's like it knew what would happen to its early gamers. Very spooky.
I kid, of course.
@Tyber_Zann: I remember this site got linked to the rec.arts.anime.misc NG one time. 2600 Doki Doki Mahou Shinpan, anyone ^_^?
Slashdotted!
Wait, where am I again?
@Pezdispenser: Welcome to diggaku/slashtaku... :(
It'd be nice if someone actually mirrored it to Flicker.

Tim Curry's Magic Board?
Why, isnt that the game thats supposed to sell a million copies come this April?
I was gonna say we wanged the server, but it looks like others have expressed that sentiment for me...
@Paul Soth: nice work :D
See! I told you I'd got a copy before the release date!
