Those boxes and labels are really well done and were delivered to you in top condition! Nice job, AtariAge (Al)...

SOLD! - Ghost PS1 w/ MM3 Stealth Chip & Matching Hardware
DoctorTom replied to atreyu187's topic in Buy, Sell, and Trade
Wow those are ugly. -
I guess he caught Eduardoitis.
-
Mine lies flat and does not wobble in the least; I've tried really hard to make it happen, but no. So I guess it's not an issue with all units. Also, I believe the PS4 graphics do in fact pretty much scream next gen -- there's a substantial difference to my eyes.

In this video, DKA looks done, or almost done. What's going on? Is this ROM available somehow?

Colecovision or NES Donkey Kong?
DoctorTom replied to Robot2600's topic in Classic Console Discussion
NES -- by far. Although I could play the CV version pretty much forever. -
Your concept of freedom is twisted.

I've used mine for a few hours. No issues as of yet. I buy the idea that the bad ones may have come from one particular factory, because reportedly the batch that arrived at our local Gamestop have been working well. As for games, I was only interested in Drive Club, but since that was delayed, I got Need for Speed, which looks terrific and is OK in terms of gameplay (I prefer a true racer). I picked PS4 over XBONE because of Sony's MLB The Show.

Intellivision Homebrew Release schedule updated for October 2013
DoctorTom replied to Rev's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
I thought Space Patrol was being released in ROM form this year for purchase -- is that no longer the plan? -
Star Castle Arcade - Beta Release
DoctorTom replied to Thomas Jentzsch's topic in Homebrew Discussion
The Star Castle bins posted here do not run on my Harmony Cart at all. I have no issues with any other ROMs. Any ideas? -
Releasing the ROM is a great idea. I'd like to see others here do that. I enjoy playing on my Atarimax and even more so on my ColecoVision emulator running on my Wii, so I can play on the big screen with component signal.

Colecovision's Kickstarter failure is deeply depressing to me
DoctorTom replied to Flojomojo's topic in ColecoVision / Adam
Emulators are not illegal. -
Really enjoyed the episode. I think your take on Astrosmash was fair and accurate. Astroblast is really the better version. And I guess I should say thanks for tackling my points on the CV and intelly controller issue. I'm not sure if you realize that I didn't mind that you took the CV controller to task, as much as I mind that you don't grasp the problems with the intelly controller. Between an awkward disc, side buttons that don't fire while moving the disc, and the necessity to glance down at your controller to press keypad buttons, it is at best an inadequate control scheme for many games. The controller simply gets in the way, and I know there are many who feel that way (some may be afraid to admit it publicly here). In any case, I think that's the last I have to say on the matter. I love several intelly games and am so thankful I can play them using alternative controllers via emulation.

How old were you when you got your first Intellivision ?
DoctorTom replied to Intellfan's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
Not sure exactly, I'd ballpark it at about 28 or 29. Got one with working controllers at 43. -
I'd like to see this game taken back a bit and have it play more like the terrific INTV version. Keep it simple, lose the complex stamina and stamina display, make betting more like INTV style. On INTV, at start-up, horses are randomly assigned strengths and weaknesses (acceleration, top speed, durability (fatigue rate), response to challenge, response to coax, response to whip, response to various conditions (dry, turf, muddy, etc.). You learn which horses are best at various conditions as the game plays out. New horses are generated when you restart the game. Just do it with better graphics and sound.

That game is so underrated.

Pre-orders for Endless Snow 2600 now being accepted
DoctorTom replied to rjchamp3's topic in Atari 2600
Sounds like an interesting theme for a game. Looking forward to seeing some videos... -
Source code release "Blinky Goes Up"
DoctorTom replied to Jan Hermanns's topic in Atari 2600 Programming
Any chance of some new levels on ROM now? The game could use more levels. -
Imagine a $1 million project for Intellivision
DoctorTom replied to scalpel's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
New wireless controllers without discs or side fire buttons. New core unit with component or HDMI outs. -
I agree wholeheartedly with Brian. This has nothing to do with being "a hater". No one should take orders until there is a completed game you can deliver within one month. It's not right to take people's money and make them wait months (or years) for product. This is something that happens far too often around here.

ColecoVision 1.2 - replacement PCB, added features
DoctorTom replied to 5-11under's topic in ColecoVision / Adam
Will this work with no issues in the US? -
Thanks for the info. Communication is indeed key. Need to see some more of that from others...
-
It's not entertaining in the least. I couldn't be more bored watching this. I really don't know what he is trying to accomplish...
