Random Game of the Week – Issue 1

By Joe Haygood | September 2, 2007

This is a new feature that I have started for Aeropause. It came to mind when I was crusing Moby Games website. If you have never visited Mobygames.com, you are missing out on one of the greatest websites on the web for gamers. Think of it as a Wikipedia for gamers. If you are looking for a game, it will be on that site, regardless of platform or rarity. They also have a Random Game button that will bring up a random game for you to check out. This feature impressed me so much that I decided to make a weekly feature out of it. So every Sunday, expect to see a new random game of the week. Now, click on the jump and get ready for a little nostalgia.

This week’s random game is Scrapyard Dog. This game came out originally on the Atari 7800 platform. It was also released for the Lynx. The game came out in 1990. In the game, you play a Junkyard guy who’s dog has just been kidnapped. Your goal is to find the guy who took the dog and beat him. I can’t say that I ever owned the game, but then again, I did not have an Atari 7800. Below is a look at one of the screens from the game.
