Very nice collection!

[Sloopy?]

 

Its kind of like the hardisc activity light on a windows PC during quite a few operations I can think of.. SOme operations take a LONG time, and there may not be any output to the screen during that interval.. But, as long as I see that hardisc activity light flickering at regular intervals, Im willing to wait, assuming it's working.. But, if that light stops flickering, for a long interval, and still no output to the screen, Im inclined to think the damn thing has crashed.. I start considering pressing the reset button..

 

Heheh. I don't WANT to say it but damn, that's good, MG.

[Pensate]

Count on Orph!

[Sloopy?]

In my experience Sloopy is very reliable. I'm sure this will all be resolved soon.

[SIDE next HDD for Atari 8 bit preorder]

So this cartridge is pretty rare, right?

[Atari 8-bit Cartridges: Duplicates for Trade, and Wants list]

You must have a pretty nice collection.

[Incognito Install]

Too cool, Steve.

[New GUI for the Atari 8-bit]

Very impressive, FJC.

[Atari IRC channel]

That's not good to hear. I have not been around much lately, but I expect to return soon.

[Atari 800 speech Capabilities]

There was some poke you could do to avoid the blank screens with SAM. I always liked it. Sounded even more esoteric than the default voice. 8210,1 maybe (in basic)?

 

Funny story: A "friend" of mine (in high school) sold me his (only) copy of SAM after he had learned how to make a working rip of it from a tutorial he obtained from a local BBS. I only learned of the rip a bit afterward. >douche<

 

Dude turned out to be the "best man" at my wedding 15 yrs later.

[Atari MAZEZAM]

Nice. Hope to see this.

[No words...]

Heh... I also have a lot of X10 stuff. I've been into it since the late 80s. It doesn't work all that well in my current house, though, and we are slowly migrating to (non-dimmable) CFL bulbs, but I'm still able to freak out our visitors from time to time.

 

Oh, and I don't look too much like the guy in the initial pic. In reality, I look more like this guy:

 

[is there a joystick practicing program?]

My kids (5 and 7) don't presently have that much interest in my Atari or arcade stuff, but I have found that Pac-Man is a pretty good training tool (except that you don't use the fire button). You can always just press START to start over. Space Invaders helps with the fire button. Being able to start over is the key, imo.

 

Congrats. Sounds like you'll have a "2up" soon.

[Atari Ethernet Cartridge -Accepting Orders]

Wow. Nice.

[Color Jawbreaker, Marauder and Stellar Shuttle?]

I use a Commodore 1702 NTSC monitor with a special (home made) monitor cable that includes separate chroma/luma and composite simultaneously. So, when I find a game (like Tower Toppler) that uses artifacting, I just flip a switch on the back of the monitor. I know I'm not the only one who's doing this. It's a pretty good all-around solution.

[MyIDE 4.6 Beta]

Yeah, all of these devices have their pros-cons. And yeah, Ken is a crotchety/knowledgeable sum-btch (no offense MG). But why do new devices always have cons?

[SIDE next HDD for Atari 8 bit preorder]

Great device. Thanks, again, Piotr. I have two now. One of them I will deliver to OrpheusWaking at some undetermined time within the next 10 months.

[Atari Activision vs HES PastFinder]

I would have no interest in the HES one.

[best demos?]

I was always a fan of the Xanth demos and the 130XE demo: Video Blitz. I've never been a fan of demos with ridiculously long scrolling "greetz" and self-serving nonsense ... I often get bored before the demo is even finished. I do like Drunk Chessboard a lot, tho.

[SIDE next HDD for Atari 8 bit preorder]

I have now received two (2) which completes my order. Thanks Zaxon.

[Line Runner final version and a little surprise :)]

Cool. Nice work.

 

Reminds me of Bit Trip Runner. Seems to work great on NTSC (emulated). I look forward to trying this on actual hardware, as it IS a bit difficult.

 

I like the SFX / Music option. Great music, but I prefer SFX.

[Seaquest for the 800]

phaeron: You have some serious talent. Thanks for all of your contributions.

[SIDE next HDD for Atari 8 bit preorder]

I hope I am terribly wrong reading in between his lines and that he would clear his name.

 

I think he meant that after he completes these orders there will be no more (no future) ... let someone else do it.

[SIDE next HDD for Atari 8 bit preorder]

I apologize for this mess, I do what I can but I only have two hands.

 

 

Sorry to hear about your troubles Zaxon. Looking forward to the 2nd SIDE. I've been playing around with the 1st one I ordered (thanks) and it IS pretty damned cool. Great product ... very useful.

 

Hang in there, man. This can all be resolved eventually.

[Rick Dangerous]

Dubious. I would be very surprised to see this on any NTSC machine and would pay handsomely ($25) in case my doubts are placed poorly. [extra $5 if sound effects are included]
