I think the Alamagordo "fix" would have been the most elegant, if only they had dug that hole a little deeper and poured concrete. -Ben

Where's the Beer Beefy?? From the Cornhole Worldwide Website - The Unofficial Rules of Cornhole: The Drinking Rule Possibly the most important unofficial rule of Cornhole: drinking is encouraged! Based on our personal cutting-edge research, we have found that drinking beer improves the skill level of Cornhole players, for the most part. It’s widely believed that drinking alcohol in moderation can improve concentration and focus (right up until it stops and does the opposite). We encourage holding a cold beer while playing Cornhole mostly for the benefit of having a counterweight in your off-hand to help balance your throws—try it, it really works!

Yeah, you might have to add some beads, beans, pebbles, or other suitable bits and pieces to get a greater effect out of a single cartridge; but once that first piece of adhesive breaks free, you might as well take advantage of the Atari XE cart's extra capabilities. Might be a good idea to start a thread on additional functions of Atari XEGS carts. They're probably a lot more versatile than people actually realise.

By the way, @reifsnyderb, I do not know if you had heard yet. Zilog just issued an EOL for the Z80 processor in DIP form. I am not sure how this will play out in the long term. I just checked DigiKey and the last time to buy is in June.

Just wondering if you plan on designing a version of the PCB for the M153 package. Although, would it actually allow for a smaller PCB footprint?

I renamed the files as you suggested and edited the all-games.ini file with the respective changes and I am happy to report that everything is working fine!

I saw footage of this on YouTube. It's janky and limited in that distinct ColecoVision/MSX way, but it aims pretty high for that format, and actually looks better than the Micronics NES version in some respects. At the same time, it does illustrate that the CV wasn't capable of keeping up with the gaming trends of the mid 1980s, particularly scrolling.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTD1L2P6 Ok, I just bought one... no idea why, but I did. Anyone know what songs are on it? haha...

Any chance of showing up at the AtariAge store?

I own the stock too... NOT because I think it's necessarily a good investment, but because I don't mind giving a little something to my favorite company. Honestly, you would have to consider it a long-term investment. I think I bought like 5 grand of Atari stock. Because the buy is so low, it fluctuates wildly. I either double my money, or lost half of it repeatedly throughout the week, haha. As far as Atari long term, I think they're fairly solid. The prospectus isn't great, but it seems like the CEO/majority owner has his own funds to purchase it outright. If he's willing to put his family's money on the line, I don't mind doing the same for keeping alive what I grew up with.

Haha, yep with dozens of those rattling atari xegs cartrides, you can certainly do sose great samba dances with it😁

I remember reading about that in Nintendo Power around 34 years ago. When I played that game via emulation, I can tell you that it is one tough game.

Sweet. Have sent a message to them.

I bet you guys would like some of the remixes that I have made.

I'll go by RAM, 16KB (5200) / 128KB (130XE) = 0.125 16KB (5200) / 64KB (XEGS) = 0.250

C++ books are gone. The remainder will be going to donation within the next week if no one wants them.

The screen looks fantastic once its dialed in properly. My main problem is with the potentiometer which looks like I'll have to disassemble because so far its completely unresponsive...

@Ninjabba are you double-tapping to run? The game is a lot easier and more fun if you are running most of the time. I figured it out! 125210.

Pizza Pop! (Famicom) ........ .......................... Cool game,but seems a bit like a Panic Restaurant ripoff. Galg (Famicom)................................................ Hooked on this shmup lately again,but is it just me or is it ridiculously hard?? This game cheats. Towers II:Plight Of The Stargazer (Atari Jaguar) .................... Don't like it,meh.

Hang on. I just fact-checked this, and I don't believe it to be true. Using Atari Math™: 5200 / 65 = 80 5200 / 130 = 40 No, sir. No, no, no. I did the math just like Atari told me to, and I got very different answers. I think we need to correct some erroneous documentation.
