Birds and backyard ambience — as spring descends upon the Piedmont, so do the birds. And they were chatty this morning, so I stuck my microphone out the window.
That's about all there is to say — Oh, stay away from Jimmy Connors tennis on the Atari Lynx. I found it cheap on eBay and decided what the heck.
Watching Jimmy Connors in the early 90s at the US Open was fun. I thought that maybe his namesake handheld lynx game might that all over the tennis court rackets blazing fun? It doesn't.
In the game, it is impossible to serve the ball, and when you return a serve, the computer effortlessly lobs it back. A blinking yellow square tells you where you need to position your player to return, so you run to it. There's like a second delay from button press to avatar swing, and you miss.
Jimmy Connors was Mr. Volley. The game is death volley. Ooph — look the only reason to buy Jimmy Connors Tennis is to hear the voice of Jimmy Connors and crude lip movements as the legend welcomes you to the hardest ****** tennis game of all time.
