Master Phruby

That purple "Your Atari Computer" book was my favorite book on Atari back when I was young. I did everything in that book. It helped me write a lot of games.

I've bought the av mod for the colecovision a few years ago from the guy in Turkey. The installation was easy and turned out good. I've since replaced it with Yurkivision version. I'm planning on buying an Intellivision to install the av mod from the guy in Turkey again. I'd like to do this to an Intellivision II because it's smaller. Does anyone have instructions on how to do it for a Intellivision II? Any recommendations on an AV mod for this?

Just spend the last hour playing Gradius. It is a hard game and really fun. I'm amazed how fast everything moves on the screen and how many enemies there are. I love the packaging and the SGM presentation. I need to order Donkey Kong and Pacman when they become available. Great work guys!

My SGM and Gradius should arrive today. Now the question is do I wrap it up or open it. I guess it depends on who gets to mailbox first.

My secret Santa gift arrived today. Some pretty cool loot crate type stuff in it. I got a star wars shirt and a Lego TIE fighter that the resident Lego Maniac grabbed and put together in about a minute flat. A cool book on the Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy. A Zelda wrist band. a Bioshock key, a Blizzard figure and a stress Hearthstone. Pretty cool collection of stuff. Thanks Secret Santa.

Albert works in mysterious ways. I'm pretty sure he is related to Santa Claus.

Just got notice my SGM just shipped from AtariAge. Doing the happy dance!

Nothing from my secret Santa yet.

I think that should be part of your signature.

I've been playing it for a while now and I've got to say it is well crafted game made with love. It really feels like the arcade game Asteroids had a love child with Tempest 2000. I love the vector style and the different shapes. I only wish there were more shapes to blow up. Maybe there is? I've only gotten to level 17. The game is best played in a dark room to get the full psychedelic feeling of all the eye candy. The only thing I would add are more UFOs and an option to have the asteroids bounce off and break up when they hit each other. I think it would be more chaotic that way. The music is a special treat. It has some great techno to turn up. It is best to crank up the music an FX options in the menu. The rotation controller is the best way to play the game. It's almost like cheating because of how fast you can turn around a blast incoming objects. The bonus levels so far are simple but I keep forgetting to hold my fire when they come up. They are a welcome treat that adds another dimension to the game. The game includes a number of utilities for running home brew. I haven't tried any of these yet. The manual and box are first class as you would expect from AtariAge. It's like opening a new Jaguar game back in the 90's. Fantastic job to everyone involved in the creation of this game. When can we expect Rebooteroids Deluxe?

For some old Chuck is going get pretty mad.

Which is weird because for my spinner it doesn't always work that way. I've moved with the spinner through the menu and sometimes the JPAD doesn't change. It takes a little bit of moving around and selecting things in the menus to get it to change. It's not always instant and automatic at least for my spinner. Even if I'm spinning through the menus it stays as JPAD but does eventually change. I've never had a problem with Tempest.

In the future will Opcode be selling games in the fancy silver magnetic cases or in the cheaper color series cases?

What I found is it defaults back to dpad between games. You have to go back to game options and move the rotator to return to rotation mode. Seems like a bug.
