Videogame Review, Commando Raid for the Atari 2600 (w/ 7800 Joystick)

Action has to make its case known like Commando Raid does.  Or, maybe I’m closer to the TV than I wonder about because of conquest made for troopers sailing against the wind onto my territorial bases.  By 7800 Joystick, I mean Atari 7800 Joystick.  My 7800 controller is an irregular rectangle with buttons and a stylized pole for tilting, shifting, and interrogating; on the other hand, my Atari 2600 Joystick is a curved square with buttons and a stylized pole for bending, shifting, and instigating.  Of course either controller functions perfectly in their own windows.  Oncoming helicopters remind me.  Firing can be made with use of not only the joystick but also the Atari 2600 console; remember, it’s still a computer, even if it’s a video computer.  I’m sorry to say that criticisms out there made by Atari fans which state that the Atari computers are better than the Atari 2600 for being “computers” are inaccurate and misleading.  Come on!  It’s right on the label: “video COMPUTER system”.  George Carlin has said that we need to pay more attention to the language we’re using although I think he’s so literal about subjects that he wouldn’t let meanings drift between the lines.  Besides those criticisms, I believe the 7800 joystick does remarkably well since its ergonomics allow us to worry more about the controller’s sides than the controller’s top and bottom; in comparison, we have to worry about all sides, including top and bottom, for the Atari 2600 joystick.  But it doesn’t matter too much on the difference between squares and rectangles.  We’re only holding a controller for about a half hour or so and we’ll adjust our hands during gameplay; that’s the same for ALL controllers.  I’m having bursts of yelping here to express my frustration over gamers who don’t understand what their own ideas are.  Except for the Jaguar controller by Atari every controller by Atari invites us to feel more tension and rough turns than we would even sense while lazing in quarters.  But don’t throw away the manuals whatever you do, or, if you’re playing a modern game on the Switch or something, don’t ignore on-screen instructions.  Reading is involved with videogames.  Then again, would you believe a teacher who says, “Reading is good for you.”  If she has a hard time using a simple, everyday computer?  Yes, that teacher might have a high GPA, but it’s probably based on the wrong frequency of assignments- types, measures, difficulties, sessions, etc.  How do teachers ever expect to fight against the prejudice out there against nerds and computer users if they’re only doing homework?  Comfort itself can mean so much.  I read literature in the public domain for free before just setting for video games, as a gamer without language is like a cat without a tongue.  Where are we going to clean ourselves without languages or tongues?  Refinement is part of my life and my whole being matters for Commando Raid on its ease of use, demonstrative concept of war, and forced circumstances or diminishing returns that permit more patience than necessary prior to immediate evacuation from enemy lines.
