  1. Sorry for the "Checking your browser" screen, we've been under heavy bot attack since around midnight.  Forum should be much more responsive now.

      Yes, I'm aware of it, as I turned it back off.

      Yep, and it's going to remain that way until the attack subsides.

  3. I don't mind the cloudflare protection if it's working. In fact make it 10 or 20 seconds and REALLY slow them down!

      Yep @carlsson you're absolutely correct.  Mostly it seems to be random, probably probing for exploits, many bots attempt to register on the forum so they can post spam, some are certainly used to try and DDoS sites, and so forth.  No real way to know the motivation most of the time.

      @deepthaw Beats me, and it's not the first time I've seen it.  @atari2600land Yes, you will see it periodically, probably sets a short-lived cookie, and if you move to a different device you'll see it again.  I'm not going to leave that running too long.

      That's actually a bug I reported that has been fixed in a new version of the forum software that's in beta.  As soon as it is released, I will update the forum software immediately!

  10. Well, tried to finish up a transaction on NintendoAge last night only to find the site had been murdered. Lovely!

  11. Am I allowed to sell my modded ColecoVision on eBay? Not clear where we are with that

  12. Going to update forum software later today. Mostly bug fixes, but will allow you to search your entire history of private messages, versus just one year!

  14. Venture Reloaded has got to be the best 'hack' of a VCS game yet. So much more than just a hack or redefining just what a hack is/can be!

  15. To anyone who has seen the new Mythbusters episodes with the new duo. Are they any good?

  16. Kudos to anybody that started typing a search in the status update box. I did too...

  17. Why did the 5200(even the peripherals) have to be so big?

  18. I suppose anywhere with high enough page rank where it is possible to include a link to another website, there will be bots setting up accounts.

  20. Besides Video Olympics and Warlords, are there any other 4-player paddle games for the VCS?

  21. Yep, I went 4K. Didn't need it, but did anyway. At least this TV still has the numeric keypad, coaxial port, composite port & Ethernet. I just hope it does better home integration. $480 wasn't a bad price. Lose the web browser & 1 HDMI port, but it's all good. 

  22. Being chased by the dragon in Adventure gave me a true sensation of fear as an 8-year-old.

  23. Turning fifty today sounds so old. I need to play some Atari today.

  24. Last night I watched The Matrix in Dolby Vision on an OLED tv and wow it was incredible looking! It was like watching it for the first time
