Thank you for the help so far guys. I'm hoping this problem will eventually be sorted and go away! I will keep trying things. What a shame that Atari seem to have turned their backs on UK based customers. I think there is still a market for them over here (albeit a small one compared to the heydays of the 80s). Who knows, maybe one day they'll listen. Great products, crap service.

Hi Guys, I apologise if this has been bought up before, but I have a question regarding the Atari VCS 800. I am based in the UK and have recently purchased a very nice all in one walnut fronted unit off Ebay and have been really pleased so far - apart from one issue..... I can't work out how to purchase games from the store. I managed to subscribe to Antstream arcade ok and I notice that the prices for the games in the store appear in my native currency of British pounds - however, when I enter my debit card details I am asked for my Zip code. We don't have that here in the Uk - we have postcodes instead - which consists of letters and numbers. I have tried entering my postcode and its not recognised. Has anyone from the UK managed to get around this issue? If so could you please tell me how to do it? I want to support Atari and buy some games but at the moment the VCS store wont let me. Thanks in advance and any help is gratefully received.

This is good news (ANY new VCS news is good news!) - especially as I took delivery of my Atari VCS only today. Waited patiently for Atari to release it in the UK - but never happened, so it was Ebay to the rescue and I was lucky enough to find one in mint condition, already here in the UK. I will purchase stuff from the VCS store and try and support the cause as much as possible. Hoping that some cool old Atari 8-bit titles appear. But as I said, any news is good news. Looking forward to Spirit of the Samurai myself. Any ideas of a release date on that one anybody?

Brilliant, thank you so much. I'll have a look at this. Nice one mate

Hey fellow Atarian's out there. Hope everyone is well. I came across this interesting webpage today about S.A.M being a possibility for the 2600. Has anyone got any further development news on this? https://hackaday.io/project/174316-sam-2600/details Any info would be fab! cheers all - have a great weekend

This is true, there are some incompatible games etc, but I think it's the novelty that it's a bit rare, and a lot of us think it's a good looking old computer. If a little on the large side!

Hi there, I was sent a link to this topic via a fellow atariage member. Please may I ask if the 1200xl is still available, and if so, how much is it please?

Hi there, thank you for your assistance with this, giving Atarigrub some pointers has helped out a lot! I appreciate your time and effort!

Hi Atarigrub! Thank you so very much for that. It was really kind of you to take the time out to do that for me. Much appreciated, and if I can return the favour for you then please do message me and I will see what I can do. Thanks again!

That would be awesome thank you, any help is appreciated. Just let me know how we can sort it out and if there is anything I can do for you in return?

Hi there, yes please Atarigrub, any help would be great thank you. If I can find a way to convert from cas file to xex I could even play it on my side loader in my 800xl. Thanks to all replies so far. I know it's not exactly a well known game nor is it up there with Dropzone etc but I enjoyed it back in the day nonetheless.

Hi All, Just wondered if anybody had a copy of this game they would be willing to sell? I would be very grateful if so. Please get back to me if you can help out with this. Much appreciated! Cheers Everybody and may 2018 bring you many hours of retro gaming fun!

Hiya, Blimey! I really must check my responses a bit quicker! so a very belated thank you anyway! The game title was definitely Conquering Everest, however after looking at the PDF file of the game you suggested it does sound very much like the same game. Although the logo looks entirely different I must say. I can't find any info online about ASP software, apart from I believe they are from the UK and mainly wrote early RPGs.

Hi all, I'm a big Atari fan and love my A8 and ST, and have had the same 2600 for 34 years now, however I could do with a little help with something more modern. I got a modded old school original Xbox for Xmas with lots of cool emulators running on unleash. However i would love to know where to get Atarixlbox and how to get it up and running on the Xbox, just for fun! I have a little experience with running emulators on pc but not done anything with Xbox as yet. I've heard of FTPing but no idea how to do it, so if possible I'd like to try and burn a dvdr instead and transfer it to my Xbox. I know this is a big ask guys but I'd really appreciate your help if anybody is kind enough to reply and get me started! Cheers all!

Yes, apparently its very rare. I believe it was a tape only game, written in BASIC too I think. Its basically a strategy game where you manage a team to try and get to the summit of Everest. It's probably not as good as I remember - after all its not exactly Dropzone or something like that but if I can find it that would be cool.
