[I found and old letter that I wrote to Imagic when I was 12]

 

Maybe you can make that Atari 2600 game with batari Basic and simulate what the 12 year old you would have done with such a cool tool if a time traveler went back and gave you a modern PC with the latest versions of bB and VbB.

lol - awesome, that may not be a bad Idea after I finish ironing out all of the game mechanics...

 

You should get a 7800 too

[I found and old letter that I wrote to Imagic when I was 12]

I don't remember that letter, but I do remember every game you had, you beat...within a day! guess who?

Santa?

[I found and old letter that I wrote to Imagic when I was 12]

Of course, they wrote me back saying "thank you, but no thank you". I wish I still had *that* letter.

...that...looks...freakin'...INCREDIBLE!!!!

 

You do such awesome work!

[Chicken, Fight like a Robot!]

 

Love the set you sent me... Waiting for the Adventure and/or Pac-Man sets! :

[I just don't understand........]

Thanks, guys for all of the support and the kind words. I just got back. It was tough leaving there, as he even said to me what I stated above that this is the last time we will see each other in person.

 

Two of his sisters are taking care of him. I keep praying for a miracle, but if and when he gets called home, I will miss him terribly.

 

Thanks again.

[Salvo 2085, a 7800basic WIP game, update #1]

Looking good!

[K.C. Munchkin! - Atari 7800]

Awesome work as usual!

[Crystal Quest - Atari 7800]

LOVE THIS

[Announcing Draconian]

Wonderful work, as always. It's amazing what you guys can pull off on our beloved 2600.

[7800basic update #2. powered by good will]

Ha Ha you guys are funny (thanks for the compliments)

 

I am *really* looking forward to trying this out. The more developers, the merrier! We can create a *huge* library for this overlooked system.

[7800basic update #1. beans spilled, peek sneaked]

Very, very cool. Looking forward to this.

[Thinking about KickStarter]

Thanks guys Hadn't come back to this topic for a while.

 

I actually belong to linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/robert-decrescenzo/37/392/812

 

I will check those things out - thanks Eric, and everyone who gave advice - I really appreciate it.

[Take 3]

I am absolutely purchasing Frantic when it comes out - looking forward to it.

[Astro Blaster - Atari 7800]

:D

[Thinking about KickStarter]

Thanks, guys.

 

Yeah, I was never actually comfortable even seriously thinking about this, and the answers here kind of put a clincher on it.

 

Funny; Nathan - right after I wrote that I thought to myself, "that's even if people would be willing to do this in the first place".

 

 

Ok - you just confirmed my gut feelings.

[Atari Asteroids Fan Site]

Awesome!

[Zooming Along]

My condolences to you and your family

[Injection molding for kids]

Now if we could make a mold for Atari 2600/7800 carts...

 

[Crazy Otto - Atari 7800]

As always, beautiful work, Marc.

[Atari coding burnout starting to fade]

Awesome Darrell - glad to see Cat Food not going to waste.

 

Also, very cool sound driver!

 

I may hit you up with questions as you work on the digital samples for Frantic, as I have also resumed work on Frenzy.

[Tank Command: Enhanced Edition - Atari 7800]

Great work, as always, Marc

 

Almost makes me wish I had my 7800 collection still.

[service has been cancelled]

Congrats! Some day I'll attempt a similar set-up...

[Whoa - HSWWSH]

Thanks guys - This really made my day.

[Trying to figure out what I should do...]

I am starting to miss it.

 

Thanks guys - I appreciate the feedback; I've got a lot to think about. I guess it just comes down to the fact that I'm getting a little afraid thinking about how I'm going to support myself for the rest of my life. I know that's everyone's fear as well.

 

Allan - I actually did think of going my own route, but the only problem is I believe my songs are good *DEMOS*, but I know I'm nowhere near a good producer. That was my plan all along; I never really wanted to be in the spotlight (I'm not built for that)... I was always more into writing songs for other people to see where they could take them. When you *want* to go that route, knowing that your songs aren't optimal but believing the right producer/artist would make all of the difference, you *need* a record company...

 

Getting back to the games, though - after the new year is underway I will figure out what I am doing hopefully.

 

Thanks again, guys - you are a great bunch of people... truly.

Bob
