...more control," said one woman, comparing it with the Anthology version. On the downside, Flashback has more than 75% fewer games than Anthology, and its cheap-feeling joystick was hard to maneuver.

For the next two hours and 20 minutes, he reminisces about that house where he grew up, learned how to hit a curveball, discovered masturbation, entertained his relatives with off-color jokes stolen from the Catskills and spent 700 Sundays with his father--the approximate number the two had together, he figures, before his dad died of a heart attack at the bowling alley when Billy was just...
