  1. Just a reminder to everyone, I think @ZeroPage Homebrew Mr. James is doing the big reveal tonight on his show about the secret homebrew he's been cookin' up!  Don't miss it!

      Sweet!  I've been anxious to see what he's come up with. :)

  2. Hi @Atarius Maximus ! I have a question for you. I tried sending a message but it's saying that you don't accept them via the AA email system.

    Is there another way to contact you?

      I accidently let my AtariAge subscription expire, which caused my inbox to be over 100% full and not allow new messages.  I just now re-subscribed, so you should be able to send me a private message.

      I love Sports Ball.  That's my favorite sport.

  4. I just lost $17k from my retirement account. I am so screwed. o_O

      We all did.  Don't panic.  It will rebound, certainly after the virus is contained.

  5. The local Walmart is completely out of TP.  I wonder if people have wiped out the dollar stores too.

      I'm out and haven't been able to find any.  I bought a bunch of Kleenex instead.  Crazy.

  6. Is there a device to allow classic computers ala C64 to connect to vga monitors? If so which is the best?

    1. Atarius Maximus

      Atarius Maximus

      Oh yeah, you can also order an rca/svideo adapter from basicwayne on eBay (he still sells them) and ask him to modify it and add a 300 Ohm resistor on the Chroma line. That will let you hook up a C64 to a VGA monitor with a cheap, standard RCA plug to VGA adapter. They're also all over ebay, here's an example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VGA-to-TV-RCA-Composite-Converter-Adapter-S-video-Box-for-PC-Laptop-Windows-Mac-/311236543153?pt=US_Video_Cables_Adapters&hash=item487724c2b1.

      Yep. The Chameleon. I've always wanted one but they're crazy expensive. http://www.vesalia.de/e_chameleon.htm

  8. Prototype 3D printed 2600/7800 cartridge, which we'll be putting into production soon (no more recycling old carts!) http://t.co/6klagJ7dbX

  9. I'm a PEEKer, I'm a POKEer. I'm a midnight coder. I type my programs and hit RUN.

  10. The first draft of the 7800basic page is done: http://www.randomterrain.com/7800basic.html

      It looks great. Thanks for taking the time to make it, it will be an invaluable resource. :)

  11. Finally starting development on a new 7800 adventure game in collaboration with RevEng. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/226443-adventure-demo-7800basic/

    1. Atarius Maximus

      Atarius Maximus

      Wow, I had no idea they were going for so much. I just checked ebay and most are between $80-$120. I have my original one and one I paid $20 or so for on ebay over 10 years ago.

  12. If you've ever used batari Basic, you must try 7800basic. It's awesome. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/222638-7800basic-beta-the-release-thread/

    1. Atarius Maximus

      It's $100 per game. I'll provide my PayPal payment email to anyone who decides to start developing a game. :)

  13. I'm still trying to think of a good bB game idea, so in the interim I made a River Raid hack today called 'River Raid Turbo', although I probably should have called it 'River Raid Sadistic'. :) It's fast. Really fast. Download it in the 2600 hacks forum.

      Not happy with SpyDive, starting over. I'm going to spend a few evenings playing Mame to try and get some inspiration.

  14. Is it wrong to ask your liposuction doctor to save your fat so you can fry it up and eat it later? Or is that a form of cannibalism?

    1. Atarius Maximus

      Atarius Maximus

      Hmmm. Yeah, that kind of sounds like cannibalism to me.

  15. Started on a new idea, Spy Dive, the demo's in the bB forum. Making a scrolling background that looks good is kicking my butt. Rethinking this concept.

    1. Atarius Maximus

      Atarius Maximus

      That would have been a bit more useful than saying "it's in the bB forum", huh? I'll do that next time, thanks for the tip. :)

      I think I've got an idea. Now I just need a few weeks to flesh it out and write some code. Stay tuned, it could be a few weeks. :)

      Not sure about doing rat race, but I'll definitely take a look at your demo.
