    My hope is that eventually, the games that we don't find, like crystal castles and risk, will be filled in by our new found converting guys. So that one day, all the games on the rummored to exist list can be filled in.

    I always thought the first advertised working CD-Game console was the Amiga CDTV in 1991.

     

    Philips CDI didn't come out till 1992.

     

    3DO was just starting up in 1991.

     

    But I did some research, If you want to know the first Designed For CD Game Console with CD Builtin. It's the Amiga CDTV.

     

    IF you want the First Game System that Had a Expansion CD, it was NEC Turbo Graphics in 1990.

     

    The First CD Rom Game, was the ManHole in 1988 by Cyan for PC.

    winner we choose will get a free autographed copy of the game. Please follow the template of

     

    our previous releases, and send your entry in low res .jpg to our email. We will then

     

    request of the winner a high res bmp or the like.

    Dear Mr CVO person;

     

    Is this not a forum anyone can use ? I DO NOT seek permission from my husband nor ask his opinion on my OWN opinions and what I see, think, and feel...... Just as "he" has the right to speak for himself as you say, so do I. he does so quite well ! Your point ? I see none.

     

    I am sorry you feel this way, and feel sorry for you that you in fact think the way you do. This was entirely 'not' about that. and...... (there seems to be a hint of 'dare I say' prejudice that a woman has joined this chatting?) hmm......

     

    It really does seem you have missed the point all together anyway, and... there "IS" no argument, even Albert shall tell you this ? remember?

     

    You may want to re-read what in fact I did write, and not with some kind of insecurity issue or whatver you are harboring. If this in fact did bother you, then you may want to re-think why what I wrote did ?

    This is NOT John speaking either, it is me, hello?... A woman,

    Get over it....

     

    Sadly, explaining it to you all over again in not in my agenda today....... I am really busy with horses and kids, but your welcome to email me anytime. [email protected] Maybe a proper introduction would help you with your issues.... ? Then you can properly judge what it is or is not you think my point was.... as you are most certainly lost.

     

    To be bitter at people that are trying to be sincere and geniune can really mark a person, MR. CVO, you may want to consider THAT if you are really needing more to do today. Or maybe making fun of people is something you spend your time (wisely) doing ? Was that your intention ? Unfortunately, I was expecting some 'one' like you to respond

    and THAT proves my point.

     

    I apologize to all the other gentlemen on this forum that may stumble upon any of this....... it is all B. S. and most avoidable so I shall do my part.....

     

    At this point, sadly, "shutting down" from here is an option, and one that will be taken with regret and immediately - as I have no time for bickering, name calling, nor game playing, immature behavior followed by unheathly attitudes.......(nor the instructing of ones' life issues.)

     

    I WILL NOT bring this back here, so....I am looking forward to your email.......

     

    P~ ;)

    :?: This is Johns' wife, Pamela~

     

    Albert,... it would seem you would (or should ) know exactly what John was trying to point out. (Especially from someone as creative as John ?)

    He may be being a bit sensitive about this issue, but it is his sensitivity and passion for Atari retro anything, especially the so called "step-child" 5200 that he works hard for. He is doing this work for people like you, and your friends.....whether is it perfect or not. (Atari enthusiasts ?) hmm....

     

    Yes, there were some really good thoughts on the Klax issue and he was

    very happy, but there was more to it than that and I am sure even you noticed, I did, and I am not into this. He did not want this new issue over the Bristles game to draw into that again. It 'IS' disheartening.....

    especially when you put hours into any project with such passion and caring ! I believe if addressed to John the answers could have been properly answered and in terms that everyone could understand. ???

     

    I see several people on your forum with that right kind of perspective and love... and unfortunately, some without.... I appreciate the select few that realize and am grateful - as it allows my husband to further his endeavor for those of you that do appreciate those hours spent....... and love Atari.

     

    As I said, I am not even into this, but support and encourage my husband with his Blessings/gifts - especially to share them, etc. and I am glad most of you do care and feel the same way. But I have to say, I am going to encourage him to 'not' take part in anything petty ? Sorry if this offends anyone, but if it does, you may need to think why it does?

    Remember: there is a difference between constructive criticism, asking questions 'without attitude'.... or just plain being petty and/or yapping just to yap. Consideration plays a rather big part here- especially when you are playing this game.

     

    au revoir

    Yes, you have to be careful of the words you use as this sort of thing has caused problems in the past. The sort of bickering that can go on at AA forums has a way of discouraging people from doing projects like these.

     

    A) This "port" as I would like to call it will be avaliable on the 5200 in cartridge format. Now, we all want more 5200 games right? You can't pop a 8-bit disk into a 5200.

     

    B) Not only is it in cartridge form, and ported to work, it's also OFFICIAL! Now, how many ports to the 5200 or 2600 lately have been "official" certified and legal by the original company?

    Actually, we talked about giving him official rights to do a 2600 port. I'm not sure what happened. As far as renaming the game is concerned, that doesn't really work in this instance. That's why I wasn't able to release Atari Tris.
