Electric Dreams was a great song, too…

I love it!

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that happen. I think if the dragon touches the sword it doesn’t matter who is holding it, or if it’s being held at all. As long as there isn’t too much flicker from other items in the room, the dragon will be killed.

I loved reading this!

I hadn't seen that before, but I definitely will try it!

Great video! I won’t argue with any of your selections there. However I will note that I played a lot of both Pac-Man and Defender way back when, and I grew to really enjoy Defender a lot. Despite the graphical issues, it was really fun to play.

Cool!

I had an Atari 2600 and had yet to use any "real" computer (I would later learn BASIC programming on the Commodore PET computers at school. I was 11 11 for most of 1979 and I think the first place I saw Star Raiders was in a display at a department store. Macy's, probably. I was blown away. I was already a space/sci-fi fan and to see a game where I could actually fly a spaceship through space? Wow! I knew I wanted it. A friend later got an Atari 800 (and a year or so later I did too) and we played the heck out of that game. It seemed so immersive at the time! I could really feel like I was flying and shooting aliens. It remains my all-time favorite video game on any system anywhere.

This gets my vote. I always hated that bonk.

The trailer makes it look more like a modern version of X-Pilot than Lunar Lander. But I used to LOVE X-Pilot, so I’m ok with that.

Nice to meet another Tampa Atari fan! When I get mine I’ll try it on my Surface Go tablet and see how/if it works.

I ordered one, too. Mostly because I want to unlock Stella and didn't want to build my own stick to do it.

I must have missed the news. What’s going on with Unity?

Thanks! I was just about to comment that it has English, too, but I would have been ok with just the French.

That PDF doesn’t seem to be there anymore. Anyone have a copy they can share?
