  1. Whats the possibility of any 2600 based system having wireless paddle support?
  2. If theoretically the 2018 Atari Flashback had SD Card support, would the interface support artwork for games added via the card?
  3. I havent finished the book, but saw the movie. I enjoyed it. My daughter says the movie differs from the book quite a bit.
  4. I don't agree with Tod's comments in that article. To me 2600 Pacman's flaws lay with design choices more than system constraints. Starting with the color scheme. By '82 people wanted the arcade experience at home and also understood that on the Atari it wouldnt be 100% accurate but so much of arcade pacman just isnt there. The movement/feel, sounds, and colors make it seem like a company trying to make a "pacman" style game without getting sued, rather than a legitimate version.
  5. Wireless for Combat and original paddles for Warlords
  6. I believe all your complaints come down the retailers. They only have so much shelf space. They also know what sells, at what price for their customers. So a Bed Bath and Beyond customer with their 20% off coupon isn't going to but a top of the line unit with paddles and HD for $100, but they may buy a $40 unit not knowing or caring it's not HD as a gift or spur of the moment purchase. A lot goes into how and why things are in mass marketing, it just doesn't always fit into how a specific person wants something. Also I would venture a guess AtGames hasn't made money or enough money to warrant making paddles, otherwise they would be in stock on their website. Luckily I have paddles and to be honest 4 player paddle games of warlords is 90% of the reason I bought one of these. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  7. Is it possible to get this project to also play MAME, and more specifically arcade Warlords with 4 player paddles?
  8. I had two issues within a short period of playing time. 1) Combat glitched making one player unable to move after about 30 seconds into a game. 2) Warlords locked up about 4 games in. Has anyone seen this behavior?
  9. Is the skin available as a separate download for use in Retropie on a Pi Zero w? Also any update on your Pi Zero W project?
  10. Will the Atari trackball and driving controllers work with this new flashback?
  11. Any chance of a working link for the image? Thanks!
  12. This whole thread seems ridiculous. Are there really that many poor people that have a need to play 40 year old Atari games? and if thats the case wouldnt just buying a Harmony cart (despite the cost) be a better financial decision than a handful of repro carts in the long run? Also why not just have every poor person contact you for some of your money that belongs to everyone so they can buy a Harmony Cart?
  13. I guess to me the idea of a stick is way better than the disc on intellivision or the little stick on the coleco. seems like the 5200 stick would be perfect if it self centered.
  14. The original Atari joystick seems perfect to me. Other than adding more buttons, why did so many companies make awful controllers until the NES came around? Intellivision, Colecovision, the 5200 took everything that was great about the OG stick and removed it. Even today the original stick is iconic. Just a thought that came to me...
  15. If it is just more memory how does that make the graphics better? and why couldn't individual cartridges use the same technology to make better looking games?
  16. Any chance of hacking this and paddles to support wireless paddles?

    I think its more of a convenience/commonality thing than a picture quality thing. Its nice to know it can be plugged into any modern TV, monitor, amp, switch box, etc using a modern available connection.

  19. Can someone comment on the quality of the Amazon ebook? I downloaded the sample and noticed a page to small to read the text on (like 2 pages on 1 page) I was wondering if a lot of the ebook is like that? Thanks
  20. I remember having a "No Gaping Holes Here Activision" bumper sticker in my room.
  21. I downloaded the sample Kindle edition, I was just wondering are there any plans for a combo print/kindle edition bundle type package?
  22. I found it in the Readr app on the ipad.
