BassGuitari Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Not everybody is into sarcasm, in fact most people have a hard time getting their grips on it. Marty is one of them, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Rogue Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't worry about it, I interpreted another way myself, which was basically "this one is tossed...". Not everybody is into sarcasm, in fact most people have a hard time getting their grips on it. Marty is one of them, IMHO. I got the sarcasm just fine. There's a difference between whether it's being viewed as appropriate or not, especially in light of some of the vitriol that was going on in this thread. And I'm not the only one who was looking at it as such. Edited March 3, 2015 by Retro Rogue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I saw the video and thought he was saying that he considered the XM to be "water under the bridge" although I thought the video was an odd choice. In any event I'm glad it sparked Curt to give an update on the XM (yay) and his health (bigger yay). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigO Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I see people selling or trading their pre-orders. Just want those who do this to know that I will contact you when your order is next in queue to ship, if you've sold your XM pre-order, you'll just provide the name & address and email of that person its going to and they'll get an email with the tracking # and the order will ship to them. Heh, 7800 XM futures trading? Nice. Glad to hear you're back on the healthy side of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonie Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I think the word "Vitriol" has been used so much on these threads that it has exceeded it's quota and should be retired from the English Language... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lendorien Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Vitriol is such a fun word to say tho! Actually, I've been away from Atariage for while. It's nice to come back and see that Curt is doing ok and the XM is back on track. I really am looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7800 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Ha ha... Why thank you. What a strange word which describes cruel and bitter criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) It comes from the Latin for "glass" and was an old chemical term for certain sulphuric acids or sulfates. Hence the leap from liquid acid to acidic words. Edited March 11, 2015 by Mayhem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sn8k Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I was gonna buy one of these years ago. Glad I didn't. I'm extremely impatient as some will attest. Once these start getting shipped out I shall see what the patient consumers have to say about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I was gonna buy one of these years ago. Glad I didn't. I'm extremely impatient as some will attest. Once these start getting shipped out I shall see what the patient consumers have to say about it. That's pretty much what I'm gonna do. Once people start getting them and there's no major technical issues reported, and if they do become available to the non-investors, I'll pick one up, literally. I don't live too far from Curt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
correagonzalez Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Can anyone point me in the right direction on which games have been developed for the xm 7800 expansion so far?

TrekMD Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 All hacks and homebrews for the 7800 (including those for the XM) are listed in this thread: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/232487-atari-7800-homebrews-and-hacks-thread/?do=findComment&comment=3126283 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 It's also worth mentioning that pretty much all of the original Atari produced 7800 games support the High Score Cart, which is built into the XM. There are also some homebrews which should be able to use the XM Pokey, like Beef Drop VE. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoke Monster Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) I'll definitely be picking one of these up when it's released. What a great time it is to get in to the 7800 Edited March 23, 2015 by Smoke Monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
