Madden lending his cred as “sportscaster for CBS Video Games” to Atari 2600 versions of GORF and Wizard of Wor. Huh. I vaguely remember that library of games. Tooling around teh Google, lo and behold, there’s video (below) of pre-mushmouth Madden calling the epic Tony Sarkis vs. Ray Johnson showdown — yeah I 
don’t remember it either — in Wizard of Wor on the 2600. Madden’s commentary lacks the signature boom, [[link]] bam, here’s-a-guy, and telestrator pee-pees. But still, you always leave him feeling you learned something about the game, you know? For the record, Ray wins.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Hey I got one: What does Ostia have in common with Wizard of Wor? Both are ancient ports! Get it? Get it?! [[link]] Don’t like the pun? Suck it! But remember, that money back offer on [[link]] Wizard of Wor expires in two weeks … from 26 years ago. 20 Awesome Vintage Video Game Ads [Unreality] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX_06mzRGtk
