Still having problems with forums/blogs Atari Age

Hi   Of course, I can blogging but I cannot upload pictures on AtariAge anymore.       I hope the webmaster will fix it and I can put screenshots here from my upcoming games and the Sims funny / bloopers screenshots again.   See you later       Robin Gravel

It's how to compile in 1980s on PCs

I took a look about C language in DOS.   First. You need a plain text editor to write your codes.   Then compile it with Microsoft  C.   And use link to make an executable file.   Programming is more easily in 1990s when all computers have hard disk.

Grizeline gave birth.

I just discovered my cat gave birth.      I can't tell when Grizeline gave birth.   Mom knows where to hide her kitties.   I think it's three kitties from the picture.   How cute. ?   But we have to deal with these new cats too.

Insering a miniSD card .... Not in good way

I inserted a miniSD card in my mp3 player.   Then I tried to play new songs. The mp3 player does not reconise the sd card.   I checked and I noted the sd card is not inserted.   I took a look at the desk and the floor. Nothing.     Weeks later, the mp3 player makes noises when I shake it.   I realised the SD card must be inside it somehow.   I can't find a way to retrieve it without ruining my mp3 player.   Instead,

Over pricing video games since 1985.

I just checked my old catalogues and I noted console games are higher than pre-NES.   Before NES, console games are around $10- $40. Computer games are around $30-$60.   With NES and other consoles starts having games the same price than computers, around $40-$90. Commodore 64 has lower price games.   Only Atari 2600 has decent prices around $20-$35 until 1992.   $ = Canadian dollar.

What happened to my new 3ds?

I was playing on my New 3DS when my hands were stained of paint.   After further inspection, my handheld game started losing paint.     I guess newest consoles are made of cheap materials.   My original Gameboy still has great shapes, no losing paint and made in Japan.

Names from Conquest of the New World

I always wonder if the names from Conquest of the new world are real.     After a little researches from wikipedia, few names are from military.   Don George: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dom_George_Franck   Lady Marsha: from a recent actress?  http:// https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsha_Fitzalan   Lord William: http:// https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_William_Bentinck   Sir Gregory: http:// https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Greg

Google Stadia: more I know, more I shouldn't bother with it.

Unlike other consoles, Google Stadia is a console where it can play games from cloud, not from hard disk, sd or other devices.   The problem with it, if Google decides to terminate its console, we would get an orphaned console without games because Stadia only plays cloud games.   If Atari 2600 was a cloud console instead cartridges, nobody would play it today.   What a shame.

Good thing it's not an intellivision

Browsing unless website, I spotted a Mattel video game system called HyperScan released in 2005. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperScan   HyperScan is somebody would say advance for its time, can scam cards from games to make it to run like Nintendo does with Amiibos.   I don't have this console but based on many reviews, Hyperscan is an awful system to play with dated graphics and difficult to scan cards and poor games.   We are lucky Mattel didn't name
