  1. Hi. Thanks for posting this. I think you'd get a bigger response if you posted a list of titles. Can I ask about particular titles? Do you have any of these for the Atari 8-bits: Star League Baseball, Floyd of the Jungle, Choplifter, Apple Panic, Pathfinder, Pharaoh's Curse, Journey to the Planets, Bandits, David's Midnight Magic, Space Eggs, or any titles by Synapse? I'd be interested in some or many of those. Thanks for any info. You have a fantastic and huge collection.
  2. Ooh, I took a picture of your house! Mine's the house down in the valley. Right there on the right.
  3. While viewing a member's profile, click on "Profile Feed" on the left side of the page. You can then scroll down to the bottom and click "View All Updates" if you want to see all of a user's status updates. ..Al Thanks!
  4. How do you view people's status posts now? I see you can click on the "last updated" under the current status post when viewing a profile (or look on the first forum page), but how do you see older ones, or ones that you commented on once upon a time?
  5. I try to keep tabs on my high scores. I write them in a notebook when I remember. I have a list for the 2600 and for the 800. I'd like and use a pre-made score book. It would go well beside my notebook of manuals.
  6. Pacific Coast Highway 30,100 (I love this one, especially in 2 player mode) Beamrider 5,110 (the flashing makes me dizzy, so I may not be able to play this one much more) Deteacher, how are you doing? Are you still up for assigning us team roles in kik-start and ballblazer? I'll go with what you decide. I'm not especially good at either of those, but I'll keep at it, as well as at the several I do have and have already played (River Raid, Pacific Coast Highway, Krazy Clown Jumper, possibly Beamrider)
  7. Bump n Jump, Moon Patrol, and Desert Falcon are all quite impressive.
  8. Is anyone else having speed issues still? The new forum is crawling at a snail's pace for me. I know that Albert posted that older Internet Explorer vesrions need upgrading. I'm using Firefox 3.6.23. Is a newer version recommended? Is there anything else I might be missing, as far as speeding up the forum software? PS-I love the look of the new retro skin. And the Deflection theme is quite nice as well. Thanks Al for giving us options.
  9. Sorry for the confusion. I thought it was using my ip address to locate my house. It was simply showing downtown Chattanooga, which is where I happen to live.
  10. I'm up for anything, so please take over as the lead teacher and assign us roles. Remember, however, I only have some of the games: River Raid, Kik-Start, Beamrider, Crazy Clown Jumper, Ball Blazer, and Pacific Coast Highway.
  11. PS-The Deflection theme looks great on my laptop, but I do look forward to the old Atari-Age theme that is coming soon.
  12. Does anyone else find it a little un-nerving that the Google Earth picture in our profiles show exactly where we live? Is this necessary? Is there a way to adjust the settings?
  13. I've been playing Crazy Clown Jumper, and my scores are emabarassing low. Especially compared to my fellow teacher. So I'll play some more and post later. River Raid: 16,230 starting on first bridge and reaching the 11th.
  14. I hope you feel better soon. Sorry you had to go through that. See you in later HSC rounds.
  15. I like that! How about the "Teachers" or the "Schoolers" Either works for me. Atariron and beamer might want to chime in. I like the Schoolers better, but both are good. I'll start with the smaller games as well.
  16. I'm in if there's still room for me. I was away for a week, but now I'm back. I have a few of the games: Ball Blazer, Beam Rider, Crazy Clown Jumper, Pacific Coast Highway, and River Raid. I'm assuming Deteacher is a teacher, as am I. So maybe we could have a school or teaching related name? Is Deteacher our captain? I'll start playing and posting what I have on hand.
  17. Another round of pro Qix. With the toddler and the game being so difficult, I've only managed 38,493. My average seems to be around 7,000 though. Some games I can't get a few inches before being hit by the swirly bad guy and don't even make it past the first screen. And then I have a run of good luck and make it to the third or fourth screen. And of course there's those games that don't get completed at all . I'll have to try the second joystick idea. I think it might work for now. He's (my toddler) a huge fan of pressing the button in any game, so shooters like Galaxian work quite well for him. And quite a fan of River Rat and Crazy Clown Jumper as well.
  18. That's pro Qix I should have put some labels on Is Pro Qix alright to play for this HSC? What's the difference? Do I get paid a salary for playing? I sure hope so.
  19. I must add the homebrews Oystron, Seawolf, Qb, Gun Fight, Reindeer Rescue, Flap Ping, Hunchy II, and the hack/hombrew Wolfenstein VCS-the next mission. All of them are awesome. I'm sure I'm forgetting some, there are so many wonderful homebrew games out there.
  20. Finally realized I had this one, Qix. Played three rounds which were periodically interrupted by my 2 year old pushing start and/or the power button. Scored 19,045.
  21. PacManPlus, what kind of happenings are you looking for exactly? There are tons of good rock and Latin music concerts in FLA. Everyone plays Florida. There are the Coconut Grove Art Festival, The Los Olas Art Festival, the Christmas Boat Parade in Ft. Lauderdale, major sports events in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and numerous pet/animal events, as well as parades. There are symphonies, ballets, the Miami Calle Ocho festival. There's deep sea fishing, the Everglades, white water rafting upstate, college football and baseball, the Salvador Dali Museum, many many other art museums with events and exhibits, the Keys, the islands off the Tampa Bay for camping. There are races of all kinds (boats, cars, foot). There are big lectures at the universities. There are also events at the libraries. There are major car, design, culinary, and fashion shows. But as for video gaming, there seems to be real lack of events. Is that the kind of events you are looking for? PS-I'm a native Floridian who has been away for awhile, but I do go back several times a year. I really do miss the ocean, the multiculturalism, and the food.
  22. Excellent guy. He does an outstanding job on making carts, great communication and shipping. Highly recommended!
  23. I'm hoping to get one of these as well.
  24. Does this mean Sunmark is back? I thought he closed down his Atari business. I hope he's back, but this could just be old stock.
