Hatta Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Funny, under "how do you prefer to buy and play videogames?" "on a cartridge" is not an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 THE SWEEPSTAKES IS OPEN ONLY TO LEGAL RESIDENTS OF THE FORTY-EIGHT (48) CONTIGUOUS CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA (THE “ELIGIBILITY AREA”), THIRTEEN (13) YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AS OF THE DATE OF THEIR ENTRY. Well, that sucks. They won't even let in Americans from Hawaii or Alaska - too cheap to pay for the shipping, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emehr Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I'd love to enter but that's a lot of personal information to enter on a non-https web page... Maybe I'm just being paranoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Would have been nice if they had given credit to AtariAge for all the 2600 and 5200 images they lifted from the site (cart scans, box scans, screenshots, in their "Missile Command Console Museum"). ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Seriously? WOW.....that's messed up. Not the first time Atari designers have used content from AtariAge, doubt it'll be the last! I don't mind too much, but whatever professional designers did this work for Atari (if it wasn't Atari themselves) should know better than to just grab images from external websites and use them without asking for permission and giving acknowledgment. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he says that now. But in a bit, after Al wins the cabinet, it will be "Hey, those guys are great. They can take anything the want, I'm off to play Missile Command" desiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Rogue Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Did you guys read the BS interview with Nolan that was done for the 30th anniversary? http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/missile-command/atari-founder-revisits-roots-with-missile-command/1390303 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboypacman Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I can hear my wife now....."Where in the heck are we going to put that Missile Command cab at?" and am going to say...."In the bedroom baby" in my deepest Barry White voice lol.

If Missile Command was released in 1980 and Bushnell was forced out of Atari in 1978, how did he have any involvment with Missile Command????

The game didn't even have an official proposal until the end of May 1979. More of Nolan's BS again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyromaniac605 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) Any body know if it would be possible to make a controller like the one pictured with the trackball and 3 buttons it looks really interesting to use. -Darren- Edit: Possibly by adding buttons to an existing trackball controller.
