    This would be pretty easy to do aswell. I'll look into it, maybe get started in a minute and post some screen shots.


  2. I've been building 3D games recently, and want to do a few updates of classics, what would you guys recomend as working well in that extra dimension?

     

    I've started on a version of Asteriods, but its just not working out very well.


  3. Atari's Sunnyvale permises were apparently run by 'dope smoking hippies', and to be honest a lot of games were a bit wacky.

     

    A lot of books have long been associated with drug abuse; Alice in Wonderland for example, but why not videogames when it seems glaringly obvious?

     

    Just take a look at these games:

    -Millipede (mushrooms everywhere)

    -Pac-Man (the dude is eating frickin' pills!)

    -Joust (WTF is this all about?!???!!)

     

    With a lot of the other storys I've heard about what went on at Atari, I wouldn't doubt that they were having a little more than just a smoke 'now and then'...

    Stan's hoping so, and he'll be ready with these


  5. I used to get up at 5 in the morning to play this game. Wouldn't catch me doing that now, not even for Atari!

     

    I think I can get to about level 5, and I'm not the best of gamers....

    do you wanna incorperate alot of the stuff that I put on my page in? I have alot of activision manuals that people were kind enough to scan, and Rick sent me a great heap of patches (scans) if you need any of them. I also wrote alot of stuff on the backgrounds of most activision games.. whatever you need

     

    Well I can put some of the stuff on Atarinvader, and then if you wanna dip in and add or edit stuff you'll be free to. You got a link to all this stuff?


  7. There are other communitys out there that have a completely different ideology. Needless to say I have nothing to do with the aforementioned 'community' any more.

     

    They weren't very supportive over Atarinvader.com , none of them wanted to help out. But you guys...you guys are just great....sorry I think I have something in my eye.


  8. There are a lot of 2600 collectors out there that just seem to take themselves too seriously.

     

    When I first opened up Atarinvader I got called a "inbred brother of an eBay seller" by a well known group of UK collectors (you know who you are), because the site had an on-line shop for me to get rid of a few of my duplicate carts. Apparently this isn't the 'done thing'. We'll I say screw you to those that think that. Like I'm gonna make a profit on about 5 carts. Idiots.

     

    Luckily idiots like this seem to be too up their own arses to post on AA...phewww...

     

    Am I the only person that seems to find these type of people that can rattle of every Atari release date, programmer and rarity for every cart ever, and not have a laugh about it and admit to being a geek?


  9. Well Liquid, the reason I asked was because I was gonna stick one on Atarinvader. Osmeriod has offered to help out, maybe even moderate a section. So would you like to help out? That way you'd be able to dip in and out when you feel like it, rather than feeling bogged down with it all.

     

    Could I use what you've already got as a starter? Take all the scores you've already collected?
