6 new Atari VCS/2600 game releases

[6 new Atari VCS/2600 game releases]

I'll wait for any qualitative judgement until I can actually play them myself. I am glad they are being made each as individual cartridge, since that is authentic to how they would have been made. I am also thankful that I have an opportunity to own a piece of Amiga history, as an atari fan and an amiga fan.

 

You couldn't be any more wrong. The initial plan was to release these games on casette in a manner similar to the Starpath Supercharger. Later, the plan was revised to pack multiple games on one cartridge, including the three 3-D games. http://www.atarihq.com/museum/2678/amiga.html

 

The fact that this "release" is both overpriced and inauthentic is extremely disappointing.

 

A little off topic, but how rare is the supercharger? I really want one, but have never come across one.

[A prices ask for rare consoles!]

Japan outlawed shipping of packages larger than 16 oz. to US after the Fedex bomb shipment fiasco a few months back.

 

GTFOOHWTBS!!

[Retro-Bit Portable Genesis]

Ya, he's talking about this: http://www.ecrater.com/p/9250165/retrogen-hand-held-game-system-for

 

Not too lazy to Google today.

Quick, someone tell me which one to buy!

[Anybody else into RetroZone cartridges?]

Many of those are pretty neat!

[Anybody else into RetroZone cartridges?]

I got my first handful of cartridges for Christmas, and they're absolutely phenomenal. Vs. Super Mario Bros., Vs. Duck Hunt, Vs. Excitebike, and Vs. Super Mario Bros. 2j all on NES cartridges. I'm looking forward to my first purchase with them in a few weeks.

 

I documented my first four games in this video I made a couple days ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58vDbCKyeqA

 

Those seem neat. How much? I am too lazy to Google.

[Sega Saturn]

Can anyone point me to a best of saturn list, or recommend anything to me? I've had one for a while, and I really want to get into this system. It seems like a really underrated system, so let me know. Or, if you have some cheapo games you wanna dump, lmk.

How many of these had the blue timer by the way. Makes for an interesting homebrew variant

 

Just four.

[Why do you collect?]

[Games done better on the "technically inferior" console]

Sonic the Hedgehog 1 was better on the Sega Master System than on Genesis.

 

 

What fucking drugs are you on, motherfucker?

 

I'm sayin' you should mass produce that shit, yo. You'll be a motherfucking millionaire.

 

[Anybody completely switch to emulation and not look back?]

 

Anybody completely switch to emulation and not look back?

 

 

Fuck no.

[Odball - All Orders Filled and Shipped]

I received my package yesterday. Thank you for making this. I have wanted one for some time, and finally to have one is great. A wonderful project and it really turned out nice. I really like all the extra touches that were done in the packaging.

 

Hey, thanks! When you say, "extra touches," what do you mean?

 

I am really glad you guys like it.

 

No one's ever given me gameplay impressions, so if anyone has the chance, I'd love to hear it.

[Games done better on the "technically inferior" console]

Examples where you feel that the supposedly technically inferior console did a better job with a port than the supposedly superior console.

 

Just about any Xbox 360 game that was also released on PS3.

[and now, my yearly ritual.. Christmas NiGHTS!]

That's a good idea!

[Pier Solar - New SEGA Genesis game]

Anyone have a box scan? I'd like to submit it to the databse that I contribute to.

[Pier Solar - New SEGA Genesis game]

It does look awesome. I kinda want it for collecting purposes, but I'd never play it. I can't stand turned based RPGs. Too bad it's not an SRPG.

[Isn't this cool?]

Wow, I just put in VG-9000T and got this link:

 

http://ratchet.wikia.com/wiki/VG-9000_game_system

 

It's a video game come to LIIIIFE!

 

From what I am reading it is a famiclone but cant' find much on what it actually plays.

 

/edit Rev. Bob posted right before me, I think he has nailed it.

 

I had to dig through a few Brazilian websites, but I am pretty sure that's what the translations were saying.

[Isn't this cool?]

It does look a lot like a DINA 2-in-One. Are those two cart slots? If so, it takes SG-1000 and Colecovision games.

 

It plays NES games. One slot is for the 60 pin Famicom games, the other is for the 72 pin US games. The carts pictured are just Brazilian bootlegs.

[How many good games does a system have to have to make it worth owning?]

How many good games does a system have to have in order to make it worth getting one? Are there any systems you've gotten just because there are 1 or 2 exclusive games, or versions of games that are your favorites?

 

Just one.

[Atari "Scratch'n'Sniff" Lottery Tickets]

Are these really "Scratch & Sniff" tickets? The website in Post #4 says only "Scratch & Win".

 

LOL, I was going to post the same thing. Mmm... smell those asteroids!

[RCA Studio II]

I like bowling, it's ridicolously fun!

 

Microvision bowling is better. lol

[Your best thrift find ever]

Oh, and one time I got a 7800 at Savers for $10.

[Odball - All Orders Filled and Shipped]

Got mine today! Nice xmas present to myself! Looks like I was the lucky one to get the prize a smaller version of the regular game card

 

Thanks Rob!

 

You're welcome.

 

You see, what happened there was I sent in the specs with the wrong dimensions. Opps, $95 down the drain lol.

[AtariAge Welcomes Ted Dabney!]

It was specific to Magnavox TV's.

 

 

Actually it wasn't. It was just marketed by Magnavox retail stores, and there are some reports that salesmen said it would only work on a Magnavox TV. However, it works on any set.

[Your best thrift find ever]

I got a CDX for $20 once, and an X'Eye with a box of Master System games for like $15.
