  1. What is the name of the song being played in the game Bobby is Going Home? It sounds like a church song.
  2. Its amazing how much easier colecovision games are using an xbox wireless controller.

  3. I had the game when I first owned a Jaguar. I remember I didn't play it very much probably due to the time it took to run the maze. It felt a little boring to me. Anyway, my son is really into shooters and I want to find something that will get him to play my new Jaguar. $50 is too much for me to spend on a game he may or may not jump on. $20 at the most sounds better to me. I just wish the emulator worked better so I could test it out on him.
  4. What I think is scary is the price on ebay for this thing. WTF?
  5. Dumb ass ebay seller sent my Jaguar media mail! Had to pay $10 to get it and the shipping was three times longer than it should have.

      The seller refunded the COD costs and I left him positive feedback.

      You suppose he sends everything that way and just sees what gets through?

      He seems to since he said this has never happened before. He is sending a large poorly boxed item, of course they will inspect it!

  6. One out of thousand people is still a very large number. I'd say 1 out of 100 million is more like it.
  7. Rain. Rain. Go away. Come again some other day.

      Frig the rain, we need HEAT here in Rhode Island!

  8. A mini 2600 with a cartridge port could be kind of cool to have.
  9. This reminds me of a 'discussion' I had about the proper way to say A.T.-A.T. or At-At.
  10. That was cool to see those boxes again. It brings back memories of getting my Atari 400 and Educator pack for christmas back in 1980 or so. Congrats on your collection.
  11. Wow! That is a lot of games. Are they in alphabetical order and by system?
  12. Solaris - Best game of 1986!

  15. Thank you Mr. Tramiel for my XE, XEGS, STe, Lynx and Jaguar. I wouldn't be the developer that I am today without your wonderful toys. RIP.
  16. Atari 800 or 800XL ?

    1. Grig

      Grig

      800xl for the extra memory, 800 for the look. If you are not going to use much beyond 48k, the 800 is a great computer.

      I still have my original 800 and use it more than any of the others I've acquired over the years.

  17. Pac-man or Pac-man Plus?

    1. Propane13

      Propane13

      PacManPlus the atariage guy-- that wins every time. And, if it wasn't for Pac Man Plus, then the 7800 library would probably still be quite dead.

    2. CorTat-G

      CorTat-G

      Pac-Man. Also one of my favorite video games of all time.

      Game? Pac-Mania.

       

      User? PacManPlus.

  18. Pretty much got all of it, BUT ON A 56K DIAL-UP years ago. So, basically, I feel that I earned it and paid the price so that I don't feel guilty about pirating! Wow! How long did that take?
  19. Does that really work well? I personally use my mouse.
  20. Bought myself a mint in box Atari Jaguar today. Doing the happy dance!

      I've only seen the Famicom version, has anyone ordered an NES copy? I've been really into the first Dragon Warrior lately.

  24. As far as development goes, Microsoft really makes it easy to design a game for Windows, Windows Phone, XBox and the Zune since the code base works on all plateforms with some small changes here and there. Microsoft's documentation is amazing. Writing something for Android is just a mess and Apple just can't compare in development tools but I will have to check out Mono and some of the other third party tools that let you port code to Android and iOS. I'm really enjoying BalloonPop. Thanks for posting it! I'm going to have to finish Phone Rocks and come up with a better name.
