Before Coyote vs. Acme finally hit theaters (against all odds), Road Runner had its own delayed debut on the Atari 2600. Started by Bob Polaro in 1984 and eventually released in 1989, this Looney Tunes chase got a second chance—but was it worth rescuing? This week on Friday Plays, I dodge desert hazards, turn Wile E. Coyote’s traps against him, and discover why this cartoon chase leaves me with mixed feelings. What do YOU think of Road Runner on the Atari 2600?

Atari’s new Activision cartridges are almost here! Atari sent over a media kit with the Standard Editions of Pitfall!, River Raid, H.E.R.O., and Pressure Cooker, giving me an early opportunity to check out the packaging, manuals, and cartridges—and put them to work. Already ordered? Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming. Still on the fence? This closer look might help you decide whether these re-releases belong in your collection. Thanks to Atari for providing these games. Did this look reinforce your decision or change your mind?
