Revisiting Backyard Football.

This classic game was developed by Humongous Entertainment and published by Atari. It was the first to feature professional players as kids. Its popularity led to several spin-offs in the Backyard Sports series.

Our reviewer found it well worth playing, over and over again. "If you make a really excellent play and have a huge tackle, then click start and go to replay. Then you can see it as slow as you want it or as close as you want it and go to where your guy got tackled and zoom in and see the funny expression on the guy‘s face as he gets tackled."

The Games: Dark

Until that moment, Silas had thought he knew what dark was - the simple absence of light. He thought that he understood it. He even thought that he had experienced it before. But as he rounded the first riser of stairs and continued up, step by step, he and darkness were forced into new intimacy. He came to understand that darkness was not just a lack but a thing, that it possessed mass, that it can be felt on your skin, that it can be a burden you carry. 

He knew then, with a certainty he could feel in his bones, exactly what had motivated his ancient ancestors when they first gathered around that very thing that the rest of creation fled from. It hadn't been to cook, or to harden spear points. Those things had come later. Heat was just a collateral benefit. Man had mastered fire simply to push the darkness away.
