  1. Atarinvader.com is back and better than ever.

     

    You can now access it only through either http://www.atarinvader.com or http://atarinvader.com.

     

    The site should be alot faster loading than it was before, and a lot more reliable. I've also added a few new features, including:

     

    -Site search

    -Radio

    -Merchandise store

     

    And Stan and Larry have been working extremly hard on several new articles and reviews. Thanks guys !

     

    And thanks to all you kind AtariAge people for your support of the site.

     

    I hope you'll continue to enjoy and use the site!

     

    Feedback is very welcome.


  2. I've never been a big fan of those 'feedback forums'. I think it will be a seperate section for users to post their reviews and comments, but it will be searchable.

     

    I'm still having host problems. I may ask if classicgaming.com will host us.

     

    Is there anyone here that could put us up?

    I'm not sure yet...it maybe a seperate 'user reviews section'. What do you and Stan think?


  4. Woooo....this thread is all over place.

     

    Liqiud: Dude, the review is excellent. More please?

     

    Jah/Fret': Maybe we should have an AtariAge Amsterdam trip, get consent forms from mum and dad...

     

    King: I'll check my mail for #3. Haven't you got the newsletter yet? Has everyone else?

     

    Stan: The site isn't up yet. The host decided it would be a good idea to delete the site, make me reregister and plaster ads everywhere. I've got a new host, but i can't get the FTP access working. Im looking forward to the next article, but no need to rush it.

     

    Phewww....

     

    Atarinvader is going to be back in the next few days (fingers crossed) and sooo much better than ever. There's gonna be a search for the article and review section, and you lot will be able to instantly submit reviews, just as if you were posting here.

     

    Now where did I put my Rizla?

    Well, any game that I didn't list before. Just basicaly try to keep it between 150-200 words, and if you could lay it out like the example then that would be a bonus.


  6. Atarinvader has been down for the last couple of weeks or so, but it'll be up again soon and better than ever. However you'll only be able to access it through either http://www.atarinvader.com or http://atarinvader.com from now on.

     

    I'm going to extend the mini-review section, and although StanJr and King Atari do a good job locked in my basement, I want to get as many reviews as possible for the section, making it a resourceful database.

     

    I need reviews which are about 150-200 words and has *'s out of four. Here's an example:

    Dark Chambers

    One of the most advanced games the 2600 saw, this comes dangerously close to rivaling a Nintendo game in quantity. This was released in 1988, when Atari was pretty much six feet under, but it's amazingly complex. A definite plus is two players can play at once, so nobody gets bored waiting for the other to die. You play a Knight venturing under an old castle, collecting treasure, keys, and food while fighting un-dead creatures. A cool premise to be sure. And it works. The idea of traveling in labyrinths under an old castle is a great idea. The whole point of the game is never clearly explained, the back of the box gives a hint about making yourself a master of the subterranean empire, so that's reason enough to play. The only thing this game suffers from is the characters move a little too slow, and the rooms tend to get boring, they're all the same except for different colors. Still, a definite must for the collector. Highly recommended.

     

    We already have the following reviews: Basketball - Bowling - Centipede - Chase the Chuck Wagon - Commando - Dark Chambers - Double Dragon -Double Dunk - E.T.-The Extra Terrestrial - Ghostbusters - Home Run - Ikari Warriors - Karate - Mario Bros. - M*A*S*H - Pete Rose Baseball - Raiders of the Lost Ark - Rampage - Slot Racers - Sneek 'n Peek - Superman - Swordquest: Earthworld - Swordquest: Fireworld - Swordquest: Waterworld - Xenophobe

     

    If you could help out then let me know.

     

    BTW StanJr and King Atari have been working on a special set of articles which will go up when everything is sorted with the servers.


  7. Keep a look out for the 50 best games the 2600 has to offer, aswell as a HUGE round up of all the major hombrews, they'll be up by the end of the week.

     

    Albert / Alex: We're trying to extend the 2600 review section, and at some point we will put a CGI search in. Maybe we could link the search up, as with the eBay search in the cart search? So as people can search for reviews on Atarinvader. Whatcha think?

    So true. So true.

     

    I love the way that AtariAge is used by eBay sellers like a bible.


  9. Okay, I've been trying to work this out for a while. Which 2600 cart, that was actually in production, is considered the rarest?

     

    I know Quadrun is THE most sort after, but is it actually harder to find than Chase The Chuck Wagon? or Tooth Protectors? or Coke Wins? And are there any figures to amounts produced?
