Neuronic and I have worked out an agreement and I am happy to report I will be publishing and releasing UFO for the ATARI 2600 on cartridge. UFO! was one of my favorite Odyssey2 games. More details on the web site page: http://www.2600connection.com/features/ufo/features_ufo.html Stay tuned for more information! Tim

Count me in! I want to be in the brotherhood a.) How you got your system? Back in 1981. It was my first system purchased. Something about this system caught my eye. I had 2 friends that both had Atari 2600 systems. I played those systems while visiting. I guess I wanted to go with something different. KC MUNCHKIN was the game that took me over the edge. It was so much better than the ATARI 2600 version of Pac-Man. b.) Your favorite memory of the system or games? Great memories of playing my 3 favorite games: KC MUNCHKIN , UFO, PICK AXE PETE c.) The weirdest thing you have typed into "Type and Tell" to make The Voice say? Oh you know, the usual that teenage boys would type in back in the day... all the swears and the bad words... " WHO FARTED? " I remember typing that and laughing like crazy thanks! Tim

It does: "What could cause someone to "snap" after hundreds of years of generosity? Was it the blatant commercialization of Christmas, with cheap decorations displayed in stores well before Halloween? The threatened unionization of the elves? Or perhaps international regulators who banned reindeer propulsion because the flatulence of nine reindeer was damaging the ozone layer? Or was it just one naughty child too many? Whatever the reason, Santa Claus has gone over to the dark side, and this Christmas won’t be the usual season of good will toward men. “Maybe the children of the world would learn to appreciate the important things in life if they didn't spend Christmas focused on shiny new toys,” Santa stated earlier this year. “Maybe this year, Santa will take away presents instead of delivering them...” Instead of leaving lumps of coals in the stockings of the naughty children, Santa has decided to teach them a lesson – and no bad weather or guard dogs are going to get in his way. And he’s asked for your help in executing his diabolical plan." I must admit that the game was inspired by "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," one of my favorite holiday cartoon specials. -Tim

The Videogame Criric has reviewed MEAN SANTA: http://videogamecritic.com/oddmr.htm?e=76124#rev4753 Also he has reviewed the Atari 2600 version too: http://videogamecritic.com/2600mm.htm?e=76124#rev3991 I know a lot of people do not like his review style... but I do. Interesting ...he gave both versions the same grade: C- Tim D.

I am happy to report the news that programmer Rafael and I have made an agreement to release the "unlimited release" of WILDLIFE! on cartridge. The unlimited release is just the the loose game cartridge and a printed color 4-page manual. It does not have a serial number. There is no box included either. Wildlife! "unlimited edition" also has another difference: the Green aquarium has replaced the white and light blue aquarium. It is the same version that was used for the high score contest. The price is $25 US DOLLARS plus shipping. Ordering information is on the web page: http://www.2600connection.com/features/wildlife/features_wildlife.html please let me know if you have any questions... ENJOY! Tim

I've always wanted to plan / have a gathering at FUNSPOT, the largest arcade in the world. It is Laconia, NH. I have never been there. I hear it is great. They also are the home of the American Classic Arcade Museum.... http://www.funspotnh.com/ http://www.classicarcademuseum.org/ I'm not suggesting a convention, but rather I was thinking more along the lines where it be cool to pick a day and set up a room there maybe to have an "INTELLIVISION DAY" event there... a number of us could gather with a whole bunch of Intellivision systems and promote the Intellivision systems and its games... offer free play, answer questions, maybe sell some consoles and games to new Intellivision fans... sort of like an organized swap meet maybe? Just an idea...

Congratulations, Kevin! A great personal accomplishment. Now let's release it on cartridge!

Each day, I am going to the post office so all the good girls and all the good boys get their Odyssey2 / Videopac game in time for the Christmas holiday. Here are 5 that I just assembled. Have you been a good boy? a good girl? Santa is watching... You better not shout, you better not cry, you better watch out, I'm telling you why... Santa Claus is coming to town... and he's delivering the new videogame MEAN SANTA... for the Odyssey2 / Videopac game system! if you are a good boy / girl, that is! -Tim

PUZZLE PIECE PANIC is one of the best homebrews in my opinion. This one is awesome. It is Ted Szczypiorski's creation. It is a Tetris clone. But is a lot of fun. More info @ http://www.packratvg.com/ppp.html A great deal for $29! Tim

I am happy to report that today ( DECEMBER 1, 2016 ) is the release day for MEAN SANTA! , our new Odyssey2 / VIDEOPAC game. You can get more information and order online at the MEAN SANTA! web page... http://www.2600connection.com/features/meano2/features_meano2.html Here are some pictures of the game cartridge, manual, and box HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

At 1 hour and 15 minutes in to the podcast, Adam reads my feedback that I submitted on THE INCREDIBLE WIZARD. Thank you, Adam, for including it in its entirety! I know it is long! I felt the game deserved that much attention! I have had some time off before the Thanksgiving holiday, so I made an article of it in PDF format and add some graphics etc. It is on my web site : http://www.2600connection.com/ and Adam is going to host it on his site ballyalley.com at some point in the near future. ENJOY! Tim

I have written an article on Insights and feedback on THE INCREDIBLE WIZARD, the Bally Astrocade version of WIZARD OF WOR. It includes a comparison of the coin-operated machine of WZARD OF WOR and the INCREDIBLE WIZARD home version and a "how to" for playing both games under emulation. Although I am a fan of the Atari 2600 version of WIZARD OF WOR (by CBS Games) I am really glad that I checked out this version on the Astrocade! You will not be dissapointed! Enjoy reading this PDF file. inc_wizard.pdf To my fellow friends in the USA, Happy Thanksgiving! Tim D. http://www.2600connection.com/

Working on the game manual today... Just looked at the calendar... and...

please try to download the file once again. Perhaps something went wrong in the download of the ZIP fie and you did not get it all. It is a big file. When it is completed, it is showing as 1,049,130 kilobytes ( a little over 1 gigabyte )

WaveRider1970 - I will send you a Private Message with my mailing address. My apologies. Please ship that box back to me and I will send you a box in return that is not assembled. GOSUB is my first release with a box. I am getting better in putting them together. Practice makes perfect. thank you.... Tim

Ashley : I have sent you a private message.

The Atari Flashback software for the Raspberry Pi 3 with modified RetroPie software can be downloaded from the following dropbox site: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5veuzm5pwc0wx0j/UAFB.img.zip?dl=0

I called my hosting provider ( godaddy ) and they informed me that the hosting service that I have is not intended for such large files ( over 1 gigabyte) . They recommended that I move the file to a different server, or to a different type of service such as dropbox. So I am doing that now and I will post the new link to the files once I have transferred them to the new location. I will then post the new file download information here.
