That's crazy, but judging by color, logo, and fonts, I'd hazard a guess they're riding Coca-Cola name, if not licensed.

Wonder if someone could make a multi cart that had an SD slot for your library, and dip switches to access specific titles (like it fakes as a real cart for a handful of titles you select) of course, a redesigned multicast could be made I'm sure, just A compatible os for the cart, once you go select your game from the menu, it could load a game in ram, thin ping the system to reset so when it reboots it loads that game.

Think part of Atari problem with Japanese was the 2800. If I recall, it released in 83, which happens to be alongside the famicom (nintendo) so I'm sure they didn't think much of western hardware.

Thank you for that. I wasn't aware it existed, and once I did, it was an automatic purchase for me.

Wow, those m network carts look amazing with label art. Never thought of that, but they do have plenty of space for such labels, and look great. Yeah I was thinking mostly of actiplaque, which is mostly an Activision thing, though missing ends on atari first party are common, some of mine have wear marks from fingers or thumbs touching the label while inserting or removing. Never been to concerned with standard wear, as long as it doesn't look bad. Part of the charm for physical media is you can visibly see the love, so to speak. Those relabeled Activision look great btw, day one freshness you probably wouldn't even get opening a brand new nos game today even.

Thank you Giles, that's what I figured, a scaler type 2d racer. Looks like it could be a lot of fun, I'll watch the LP sometime later, but did watch the player beat the entire first track. Ill have to keep an eye out, maybe songbird has some? I'm forever forgetting to "just check YouTube" never mind a Google search would likely dump that in my lap lol.

Loved asteroids+ missile command. I only mildly knock asteroids for the lack of screen real estate, making the rocks rather large to start out. Totally agree its still great though. Chips challenge is dependant on if you like that specific type of puzzle or not. Its pretty spot on the pc version though, which I loved. Never played checkered flag (or even knew it) is it 3d like jaguar, or more 2d pole position style?

I'd say single screen platformer. I like the mechanics, walk, jump, cough bubbles onto and trapping enemies, which you now have to run down, head butt, or stomp to burst then chase down whatever goodies pop out. I won't swear how many levels there are, but in the nineties, a friend and I beat the arcade machine a local store had, and I'm pretty sure it was right around 100 levels.

Yeah I've totally wrecked some silver label games over the years due to cleaning. I think the label is silver, and the image and or text is printed on that, and not very well attached, so its actually pretty easy to scrub/rub the ink clean off. Guess the paddles may only be a black label with the silver placed over it, then painted gold. If the whole label was silver I'd expect some of the black to come off the same way. That may also explain why some rackets appear to be pressed into the label, rather than flat on, though some do appear to be flat with no indention. Whatever the silver is, its apparently a poor base for other ink.

Wow, that sux dude. I think its more over bearing security features of various os 's than anything wrong with atariage though. Thanks for the heads up anyways Albert, even though I'm sure most us long haul members have never gotten anything bad from the site (at least I never have, despite lots of DL over the years.)

If it was from wear, I'd think the gold would partially still be there. Cleaners could, but without knowing the quality of the rest of the label, I'd think it could potentially damage other parts as well. I checked mine and their all gold racket versions. Maybe its a pack in, or a controller for one of the many pirate, bootleg, knockoff consoles from the era. While some were totally different, like Gemini's weird joystick/paddle combo controller, some went for near exact, if not exact copies of hardware and accessories. Granted, atari themselves had production "issues" at various times, look at the consoles themselves, often sharing parts with each other, or missing some components (think I saw a topic with a 2600 missing a video switch at one point. Maybe a Jr controller, or if the 2800 (Japanese 2600) had paddles, maybe its from that? Is that pic a reference to original gold paddle, or are those wired together? If the latter, maybe a P1/P2 reference, though I've got none like that. Anyhow, cool, hope someone more knowledgeable chimes in. Edit) thought of more. Maybe a refurb, a way Atari can id it without average Joe paying attention to it, or, the original batch of 2600 heavy Sixers had a slightly different stick, with an aluminum hexagonal disc on top, maybe the silver paddle was original?

Wow cool. Can't wait to see more footage, looks like the attract doesn't have rocks, but I like the look of ships and fire, basically still vectors in color with the flair lighting or whatever its called (or was that just the camera trying to compensate for mass contrast between light and dark?) To shaggy, wow, that's awesome, but at the same time ridiculous. Its awesomely ridiculous Edit) I hope with the extra player slots these machines can get a full load of players, three playing at once would be insane.

Really? Well maybe I'm remembering wrong, could have sworn those were all steel games, but I'm probably just remembering wrong lol. Darn agism, or whatever it is 😛 thenthen again, like dragon ball and Godzilla, just ataris name isn't the same thing as owning. Cool ill have to look it up on Google, do some actual research instead of relying on faulty memory.

Berserk board game, awesome! Never knew that was a thing either. Wonder how its played? Am I going to have to look into acquiring board games too now?

I'm sure most us a holes will give our feedback/opinions regardless 😛, look forward to seeing some video footage. I've noticed the ginormous screens on lots of (the few) modern arcades I've seen. I'm all for big screens, but some are so big I get the sense their using it as a pseudo attract mode for people across the room, or even outside the arcade. How practical is this giant screen for the player standing right next to it though? (I've seen machines, but due to time constraints and/or not interested in the specific game, I've not played one yet) I'd totally try asteroids though, when/if a local place gets one.
