  1. So the Ataribox Game by Game podcast is up for grabs. Sure, it isn't out yet, but that didn't stop a 1-off episode of the Coleco Chamelon podcast from happening. Still wanna hear that one. It hasn't been found....yet.
  2. I'll be going this year. Staying at the Crowne Plaza. Really wished I checked the official website for hotel specialls before booking on Orbitz. Either way, I'll have a non-convention day to myself to see if I can find any of the filming locations for Portlandia. No checked baggage, just me & a backpack. I haven't gone to PRGE in years.
  3. "video game business opportunity salesman." - is that what Mike Kennedy puts on his business cards? (couldn't resist)
  4. Should I release a ColecoVision console too?

      If you love something, set it free.

      If you don't love something but know everyone else does, milk it for every dime.

  5. Was it Saturday you recorded? It was tropical in MN Saturday, but now it's cold & rainy. I also remember Piccadilly Circus in the now defunct Har Mar Mall. That had some memories there. I knew it was there at least into the late 80s. That was where I saw the Spy Hunter that was being guarded by some guy's girlfriend. There was also another Piccadilly Circuis in Highland Park(St. Paul, MN) that was a very vertical-shaped place. They had a Dragon's Lair with a secondary monitor for spectators. The location now is a bank/office building where I hit the gym(Lifetime Fitness). It was next to a Caravan Serai.
  6. So we have podcasts for discontinued consoles, current consoles, and an informercial for a console yet to be produced. This I gotta hear. For best results, listen to it at 3am on a weeknight.
  7. Ataribox games? This sounds like a job for....ROM Maker!
  8. If real life were Silicon Valley, you know darn well Mike Kennedy would pop up as being part of Ataribox, as a last minute of the episode plot twist.

      It took me some re-readings and a quick google search to realize "Silicon Valley" is a tv show and not just a reference to the area.

      Ah, I thought he was talking about the real Silicon Valley, too. (I don't watch TV, so I didn't know there was a show.)

      I don't know. The AtariBox sounds more like something Jamie Kennedy would promote.

  10. Did anyone, BITD didn't bother with the Peripheral Expansion Box and decided to get everything on the side car? We're talking disk controller, serial & parallel port, etc. Surely someone had a large enough desk to do it.
  11. The Coleco Chameleon, vs. the Ataribox he told you not to worry about

  12. Barry, who won Atari in a poker match Atari 9) Midwestern Insurance Company holdings Atari 10) that guy who hocked up the priceof epiPen Atari 11) Shout! Factory Atari - we'll re-release anything! 12) that time Atari was accidentally left at a Kansas rest stop, so it was public domain for 3 days Atari 13) Activision, who bought the name as an April fool's prank Atari 14) that weirdo who sold Atari from a Craigslist ad Atari I think that's it.
  13. This thread is old news. It's all about the Ataribox thread! This thread - pet rock That thread - fidget spinners
  14. 2017 is going to be an interesting year here.
  15. It's simply called "Hunt the Wumpus". I found it on an Android ZX emulator that lets you download games directly. Here'sa screenshot
  16. For the EyeToy, didn't they just make the "pop the bubbles" game and that was it?
  17. I discovered a ZX port of Hunt the Wumpus that really knocks it out of the park for authenticity. I noticed that the Wumpus looked familiar. It's the Metalloid sprite from Tunnels of Doom...I think.

    So it takes in cartridges, yet still needs an emulator? While I'm sure there's a logical explanation for it, it still seems weird to me.
  19. I looked on the "Features" sidebar content, and all of it is from 2002-2004. Surely there are newer photo galleries & features since then that could be put up there. Midwest Gaming Classic has expanded quite a bit since then.

    My prediction is that this thread will have an infinite number of replies, half of them being silly pictures & YouTube videos.
  21. Sell all your stocks in the Coleco Chamelon thread, the hottest never-ending thread will be the "RetroN 77" one.

      The AtariBox has the potential to confuse more people. Hyperkin should just use that to market their thing instead.
