Microvision homebrew? (part 8)

Posted by atari2600land in atari2600land's Blog, 20 May 2013 · 57 views

I've decided that I'm going ahead with this anyway. if I needed to learn how to solder in order to make it, then now would be the time. It looks like I need to learn also a fair bit about electronics, also, including how to read the map thingy. I just have one more question. How would I test my propeller game? Would I test it on a real Microvision...

I played with sprites today for a Colecovision project.

Posted by Kiwi in Kiwi's Blog, 16 May 2013 · 68 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...

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 · 224 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...

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...
