  1. [If you've been to the bB page before, you'll need to refresh/reload the page.] I'm going to be updating a few example programs over the next month or so and that means I'll be using the index a lot to find code to copy and paste, so to save time, I added a new feature that might also save you some time. Instructions Press a letter of the alphabet on your computer keyboard and the page will jump to that section of the index. https://www.randomterrain.com/atari-2600-memories-batari-basic-commands.html
  2. Did you know that there isn't a special kind of metal called "Katy" that door barricade bars are made of?

  3. I thought I'd watch an episode of "Fallout" on Amazon Prime and got a message that I'd have to pay $3 a month to see it ad-free. No thanks. Prime video normally sucks, so I'm not paying 3 bucks a month to watch 8 episodes of one show without ads.

      I've watched the first 3 episodes.  The 2nd one lead with a 1-minute ad for some new cellphone company in Canada - and that was it.  No other ads.

      I watched some Carnival Row tonight and there was one 11 second ad IIRC,....IDK...I don't recall ads before..

      I do have ads on Paramount + and Hulu because I got them dirt cheap though...

  4. This is a pretty good Steve Jobs video clip:

      You no longer bear the burden of collecting. You have achieved your destiny. You are freed. The doomed 3DO's folly. Lord Gabe's temptation. The Xbox's seduction. The 68000's heart on fire. The prophecy fulfilled. All DLC sold and steam codes redeemed. If you have pity, mourn the money lost but let the weeping cease.

      Super nostalgia trip, hearing this. Younger gamers don't/can't appreciate how incredible this game was in 2002. There weren't any games you could play on a console that had a massive open world like that, nothing anywhere close.

      I vaguely remember not following hints, guides or in-game quests at all.  Been a long time, but, I think I somehow got the items to whack Lorkhans Heart and just let it constantly drain my HP.

      Very interesting advertising done here.   In a time where sex was used to sell items, how to sell baby products?   Get a young soft woman, wearing soft clothing and softly nomming a cookie on a stick? to advertise how soft a product is?

       

      An interesting approach for sure.  Also effective!  I certainly remember this product.

      I bet I still have a pair of these in my dresser drawer...

      @GoldLeader that's where I keep my pair too. Wait are we talking about the same thing?

      Pretty sure for mine,  the string broke...I may have tied it back together once,  but mostly considered it a dangerous toy.  I don't even remember where they came from,  probably a hand me down toy...Like one day my brother said,  "Here,  it's yours"...

  10. I meant once you scroll down past the constants, it says this: If you already have NTSC or PAL-60 colors in your game without using constants, all you have to do is replace the dollar sign with an underscore, but make sure you only do that to colors, not things like CTRLPF and NUSIZ. So this: COLUPF = $2C becomes this: COLUPF = _2C And this: player1color: $06 $04 $08 $0A $0C end becomes this: player1color: _06 _04 _08 _0A _0C end
  11. Have you seen this? https://www.randomterrain.com/atari-2600-memories-batari-basic-commands.html#color_constants_ntsc_pal60
  12. Have you been to Pooky Park?

      Very Twisted!   Well,  I'm going back to bed now...Wish me luck.  I'm hoping for nice dreams and no puppet nightmares!

      That would make a great horror movie or better yet IMHO,  a great Horror Series!  Especially keeping it very creepy looking but also in Black & White and old school!
