Atari Retro

Back in November, I mentioned a chance to win a free SD card. It was a long wait, but I finally received the card I choose a couple days ago. I signed up for the Atari Retro game pack. It's pretty cool and has some of my favorites like Missile Command and Asteroids. It was advertised to be on SD cards, but in fact it was on an MMC card. For those who don't know, the cards both have the same basic form factor, SD card format is a little newer, but adds a write protect switch, a couple pins for a security setup and is nearly twice as thick. Almost all SD cards slots will accept an MMC card, but some devices will only take MMC. This was nice, because my good 'ol 3650 only takes MMC cards and this Atari Retro pack works for that too. Actually, it is playable on all Palm OS5 systems with MMC/SD card slots, all Pocket PC 2002 and above systems with MMC/SD card slots and all Symbian Series 60 phones with an MMC slot. When I signed up, I thought it was only for Palm. And my Sony Clie doesn't have an SD card slot, only Memory Stick, though I was hoping to copy the files from the MMC card to the MS using a card reader. I tried it, but it would never work no matter what I did. I also tried playing the games on the 3650, but it just was not the same playing with the little direction arrows on the phone. So, my experience hasn't quite been what I was hoping for. If I could get it to play on the Clie, I would probably enjoy the game more. But, I have instead decided to sell the game, so I will probably be putting it on EBay shortly.
