    I would argue that Pitfall has pretty shallow gameplay. For the promise of adventure, there really wan't much to it. Maybe it's because I was already in love with Adventure by that point, but to me, Pitfall!, while not bad, is overrated.

    It's amazing. In 1990, the high school I graduated from was destroyed by the only f5 tornado to ever hit the Chicago area. IIRC, it's also the only F5 to ever strike the US in August (ath the time). I was watching some videos, and even though I despised the school, dreading the way my peers would abuse me physically and mentally every day, I still shed a tear.

      I dunno.. my high school has survived multiple typhoons.. some reaching near 200mph. lol

      Living in a part of the world that is currently just coming into tornado season (and yep, there is such a thing), I totally get where you're coming from.

      That was one of those events where I remember exactly where I was when it happened. Too close for comfort (our sirens in Indiana were going off) and I felt so bad for those people.

      Already had a tornado about 2 weeks ago maybe a mile from my house.

    Coleco is, IMHO the most undeservedly disliked publisher for the 2600. They really only have one terrible title, DK Jr. The prototypes from Coleco that have emerged - Turbo, Cabbage Patch Kids, Looping - are all REALLY well done, if not hard (especially the last two.) Anyone who says they intentionally crippled their games is flat out wrong.

    No argument from me on that one.

    * 2600 Knight Rider will be coming out soon, just as it has been for many years. * Need kindling? Shares of Newtari work just fine! * Atariage doesn't have enough posts about how bad E.T. is! * The storage area on the back of the 5200 is perfect for Fondue!

    Not really. Most of Sega's home ports were for games they owned by either outright development (Congo Bongo, Tac-Scan,) or by mergers (Tapper, Spy Hunter) I always liked Parker Brothers, Sega, and 20th Century Fox. Surprisingly, I'm not a huge fan of imagic. They have a few games I like, but mostly, I don't go back to them, and.. sit down.. I think Demon Attack is vastly overrated.

    D'oh! How could I forget Zillion?

    Oooh. We should have an ATACO party at Midwest Gaming Classic!

    CPUWIZ is 100% correct. Atariage IS the the real Atari.

    Seriously, we've all seen this before happen in a form known as the Coleco Chameleon. That's why we're so cynical? Realistic? Both? Anyway, we really just wanted you to open your eyes. We're actually a pretty nice bunch of bastards here. Emphasis on bastards. Sit down and have some fun and tacos with us!

    If all of life is but a dream, fantastic posing greed, then we should feed our jewelry to the sea. The diamonds do appear to be just like broken glass to me.

    Uhmm.. Holy shit? Basically what I read was them admitting "We're trademark squatters"

    MAME 0.208 Released!

    Inky replied to Tafoid's topic in Emulation

    How did I not know this? I'm probably not going to upgrade again until a specific game is working.

    Baby Pac-Man

    Inky replied to PacManPlus's topic in Atari 7800

    There is a kick / kickman prototype for the 2600 floating around there. Not sure the status of it.

    Let me rephrase... Is it time to put a bullet in the cerebral cortex of Zombatari?

    Is it too early for a funeral?

    I'm thinking of testing the bluetooth dongle with my Vision-Dapter on my PC. My PC has native bluetooth, but if I ever use vision-dapter on a non bluetooth PC, that may be a good solution.

    Looks like this device has been pulled from their store.

    One thing I adore about the Antic podcast are the sheer number of interviews (or as the probably better call them "oral histories") with people that have worked in some way with the Atari 8-bit (and some times other platforms.) It's important to get these stories out there from the mouths of the creators so that the golden era never truly passes away. Someone should start something similar with Arcade game creators. I may try to transition Pie Factory that way.

    As I posted in another thread on a similar topic, I got the bluetooth Genesis dongle working with my 7800 and my Sega Master system. I'm really digging this. I was thinking of testing this with my Vision-Dapter on my PC. My PC has native bluetooth, but if I ever use vision dapter on a non bluetooth PC, that may be a good solution.

    I had to test this on my Sega Master System. Works fabulously, with and without the rapid fire module.

    Piece of something, to be sure...
