Racecar!

Posted by atari2600land in atari2600land's Blog, 19 May 2013 · 13 views

Racecar is the first title for the 2600 that is a palindrome (as far as I know.) This is just a side project since I got bored working with Plim. I think it's nice to have two projects going at the same time so if you get bored on one, you can go work on the other one. Not only does it keep you from going totally insane, it also keeps up your coding s...

I played with sprites today for a Colecovision project.

Posted by Kiwi in Kiwi's Blog, 16 May 2013 · 63 views

The Colecovision can only display 4 single color sprites in a row.  One thing I'm happy to know how to do sprite flickering trick.  I have a function that push all the sprites to coordinate 207.  Not 208, since it doesn't push all off the screen.  It just single the VDP to stop drawing sprites. Forget that, I turn all the sprites on.  No harm doin...

How to Get Rid of the "Use Your Real Name" YouTube Popup

Posted by Random Terrain in Random Terrain's Tetraternarium, 14 May 2013 · 68 views

Sometimes that irritating popup has a link that will let you close it, but most of the time it's not there. If you're sick of that thing popping up almost every time you go to watch a video, all you need is the Firefox add-on Adblock Plus   and the filter below. If you don't already have Adblock Plus, add it to Firefox, then add this custom fi...

Best Electronics Atari 7800 Unboxing

Posted by Algus in Algus' Blog, 06 May 2013 · 222 views

Best Electronics Atari 7800 Unboxing So I decided to purchase a modded Atari 7800 from Best Electronics and I thought I'd do an unboxing of the package.  I'd never dealt with Best before (though I'd heard good things from other members here at Atari Age) so I was unsure of what I was getting myself into.   Part of the reason I want to do this unboxing is to show exactly what I re...

WOTE covers Madonna

I became aware of Walk of the Earth after this video showed up on my 3DS in the 3D Video  app.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHvl6z56zGc Soon after I found their clever cover of Goyte's Somebody That I Used to Know  where all 5 members of the group play on the same guitar at the same time.  I subscribed to them on YouTube after seeing it.http://www.yo...

Which One?

Posted by AtariVCS101 in AtariVCS101's Blog, 28 April 2013 · 71 views

I'm going to (hopefully) be getting an Atari 8-bit computer. Which one should I get? I have 3 choices. They are the 400, 800 XL, and the 800 XE. I like them all, but I just cannot decide between them. I must think about it.

I've just ordered the Andrew Jones designed Pioneer 5.1 speaker package to go with the Yamaha RX-V573 receiver / amplifier I just bought.Last week I visited a hifi dealer to do a receiver listening test.  I concluded there were minor differences between the various (similar price & quality) receivers, but not significant compared to the expected d...

Any good games in mind for these consoles?

Posted by BalloonFighter in BalloonFighter's Video Game Adventures, 11 April 2013 · 92 views

During spring break I managed to pick up a Sega Genesis and a Sonic game to go along with it. Unfortunately, I don't know about too many good Genesis games I could pick up. This got me thinking about the other consoles in my collection that I am also severely lacking games for. I was wondering if you, the AtariAge community, have any good games in min...

Poor Man's 1400XL: Part 9

Posted by flashjazzcat in Flashjazzcat's Blog, 11 April 2013 · 124 views

After a long gap, here's the last (or possibly penultimate) part of the 1200XL upgrade story. In the last part (well over a year ago), I'd fitted VBXE and Stereo Pokey, and finished the PBI and power mods. Since then I've added Ultimate 1MB and one of Dropcheck's excellent GTIA PAL adapters. This means that the 1200XL is completely "PA...
