  1. Tuning out on Amico, not AtariAge, ding dong!
  2. 1982 --> 2019 134.88 355.25 34.95. 92.05 Expensive Crazy expensive
  3. I think a certain amount of social media hype is to be expected now that the 1970s are nearly 50 years in the past. Curation good! Curation is no substitute for content -- quality AND quantity is good.
  4. I don't think you have to piss on mobile to differentiate yourself. The iOS App Store has come a long way lately with curation; their features are generally better than anything that the "gaming press" can put together, and there's more variety out there than these lazy stereotypes would suggest. I would love to see Amico play in a similar kind of space as Jackbox Games which is full of single-screen party games where you use your smartphone as a controller. Many of them have a family friendly mode to cut down the number of poop and penis jokes. But they're still there for families like mine. Wii did really well at selling hardware for Nintendo, but did third parties make money on it? There were hundreds of cash-in shovelware discs for it, but it seems to me the vast majority of players were on Mario Kart and Wii Sports. Anyway, it's neat to see you out here answering questions and keeping the enthusiasm high. I hope folks don't take this too seriously and use any of this against you if some aspects are changed along the way a la No Man's Sky or Crackdown 3.
  5. I'm tuning out til 2020. Seems the only sane way to approach this.
  6. Wow, they deleted DON LILLICRAP's acrostic taco joke. I see that his Indiegogo profile still reflects 2 comments even though one of them got whacked. I'm a little surprised they're that petty. I guess it shows a certain degree of self-awareness, at least. Beyond "no refunds" and "an update is in the works, stay tuned." Atari, so much more than substance and value.
  7. I still don't get where that comment was coming from, even as a dig against Apple, because the Apple-branded "Sony Inside" Trinitron CRTs were always considered high-end. This went on for years until high quality LCD panels arrived.
  8. Kotick in the news http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/337304/EA_and_Activision_Blizzard_CEOs_featured_in_The_100_Most_Overpaid_CEOs_report.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+GamasutraFeatureArticles+%28Gamasutra+Feature+Articles%29
  9. Looking forward to it, particularly on mobile. Please reach out if you want some testing help.
  10. Cheap? My Apple-branded Trinitron in the early 1990s was $400! The crappier curvy models were at least $100 less. I don't recall Sony stuff having a reputation for being inexpensive or poorly made.
  11. They call it an "aptonym," like a marketer for McDonalds named Hambuger. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/doug-bowser-and-other-people-whose-names-perfectly-fit-their-jobs-2019-02-22
  12. I only want them in theory. They look less ergonomic than the NES pads, and that's saying something
  13. Mullet -- Maybe you have a misbehaving extension? This is one of the only non-https sites I visit regularly. Just a guess, but perhaps it could be something security related? It's working fine for me with FF 65.0.1 and Windows 10 Home 1809. (your Windows build is from September 2017 and you're gonna have to install that feature update eventually)
  14. Ooh, that's neat. I wonder how the power consumption compares to the original monochrome LCD? I don't mind the small BittBoy except for the somewhat squeaky D-pad.

  16. Atari Corp has been dead since 1996 and Atari Games is a different thing. Arcades have been gone for ages. This site exists for enthusiasts and people who want to preserve things. How would I title it? I would drink a nice steaming cup of stfu and read and learn.
  17. You also posted a thread with the title Atari Age has come to an end! A little less drama would be appreciated by all. Stir shit up on your Twitter or something instead. It's not news that old stuff is old and that analog connections are no longer considered standard. People are going to craft FPGA solutions, or not, whether or not you scream into web forums with clickbait headlines. This is not YouTube.
  18. Internet says he has a net worth of $40 million, which is enough. He's been in that job for 15 years. Better to leave while on top, I think. fjmj is not someone who wants to die at work
  19. Cute renders. Too bad about the D-pad. New BittBoy is my GameBoy of choice right now. Exists. https://www.bittboy.com/collections/bittboy2/products/new-bittboy https://www.amazon.com/New-BITTBOY-Portable-Video-Handheld/dp/B07L8C91MN
  20. **** CAUTION, UNWASHED HEATHEN COMMENT AHEAD **** Meh, software emulation of the 7800 seems good enough to me.
  21. I don't usually care about corporate officers, especially for video game companies, but Reggie's goodbye seems very authentic. Class act. https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1098666321473024000
