Think how exactly those sort of games crashed and burned in the marketplace. I remember Don Bluth once describing Dragon's Lair as a "Paticapatory Interactive Game" being that Dirk the daring couldn't be controled the way Pac Man could be in a video game. I think that had a little something to do with the market, plus the fact that the video game industry at that time suffered financial losses with the over satuation of Arcade games. I think Atari should've redesigned the 7800 after the release of the NES before they actual released the 7800. It would've cool to see a lazer disc player for the system.

I wouldn't call it a problem, but when I saw this topic I certainly can relate to enthusiasm... The desire to want to see the 7800 continue beyond its retro status. It's a cool system with a Maria processor that probably didn't see its fullest potential realized in its short life span so I can certainly relate to wanting to see more from the 7800. That's just my personal opinion on the matter, but I do think it would be cool to see a CD ROM drive for the 7800.

I personally never owned a Flashback or the Flashback 2, but on of them was suppose to have a couple of 7800 games on it. However the actual Flashback hardware wasn't really like the 7800 if I recall. Now I could be wrong about the Flashback; the point I'm trying to make is that I'd like to see a new 7800 with a CD unit. One with a cartridge slot and perhaps an extra Pokey or Speakjet.

Not to get off topic here, but the Flashback 2 really didn't do the 7800 any justice... In my opinion if your going to make a CD ROM unit for the 7800 it's probably best to do what wasn't done for the Flashback 2 by including a cartridge conector and a CD ROM drive. And while you're at it include a USB port for homebrewing.

I'd really like to see another cartridge game built for the Jag. CD are great, but the cartridge really is more universal then the CD unit... Any one who owns a Jag will have a cartridge connector to it.

I guest there's no way around Asm when it comes to the Jag. That's a reality I've finally come to except.

I know it's been a year since anyone has responded to this topic... Has anyone had any success making music using the "Atarivox"???

Finally... No more DOS.

It feels like I'm playing with a Sidewinder when I play the XBox controller.

I have to agree... And I'm quite sure that the charity would agree as well. He could've just kept the money for himself but he didn't. He may have his ways, but his actions speak louder then words. Critisms come and go, but the measure of a person is defined by his or her deeds and not always a persons personalty. Just the fact that the auction ended the way it did implied to me that the game obviously had value to it if someone was willing to pay that kind of price for it. If anything it should excite people enough to want to make new and better games for the Jag... Doesn't the Atari community deserve it?

It would be neat to see another CF based cartridge game for the Jag.

I guess when they said they were'nt able to fit a Pokey chip on that thing, they weren't kidding.

Here is my page about the original 7800 dev kit. Mitch 1025430[/snapback] Has anyone ever successfully assembled a RAM card...? and if so, what was the results of it?

I'd at least think about it if I knew it worked... I'd love to dev for the Lynx.

As I wrote in the "apologies" thread... in case you didn't see my reply there.My wife told me that my Gorf arrived on Saturday, #30 of #50 thanks, I just wish that I could play it, but work keeps me away from wife and kids, and Gorf too!I really look forward to playing, and I'll for sure take a cartridge as well. It's just great to see the release, and all the fans you've made so happy. Ignore the people who only crawled out of the woodwork to nitpick or to start flames, clearly if they can't be bothered to be an active part of the community normally by posting (in general) then they have negative reasons for doing so now. I know lots of Jag fans who don't post on forums but are very happy to see your excellent release, and everybody should be impressed by your very positive response to finding a bug. You could so easily just have said that you would fix the bug and put that CD in with Gorf Pluz perhaps, making people buy another version to get the fix. I applaud you, you've done us all proud. Cheers, JustClaws. 1010610[/snapback] I agree... And I think quite profound to know there are other fans out there outside Jag forums getting a real kick out of the release of "Gorf". I don't think I've been this excited since the release of the "Krocodile Cart"... Congradulations.

I liked 720 even when I wasn't that good at it... Here's some soundwaves I put together from a PC version of Midway Classic. It's "Paperboy" having a coversation with the merchant from "720. 720_Paperboy__Stereo_High_Quality_.mp3

I'll have to lookup up the term "Baud" to understand how it works... I also need to get my hands on "Alpine" . Let's say you wanted to the Lynx to upload a file that's maybe "1MB" in size without considering the Lynx RAM; would it be possible for that file size to be up loaded in real-time.

That's definetly one system I'd like to create a better music software for. I forget the location of the link where you can download "PDF" on subjects about the Lynx, but it's here somewhere. I think Carl Forhan had something to do with posting it, but it's definetly whorth reading... You'll find a lot good stuff the Lynx sound system in the PDF's... It's a big file size though.

I don't have any games that uses the "Comlynx" and I know very little about it... Does anybody know exactly how much data can be transferred via "Comlynx" and how fast in can be transferred? I'm simply curious.

I like to see "SilpHeed" for the Jaggy.

Thanks for your input... This will certainly help in my decision making.

Did you or anyone else every have any complications or problems when using CRY mode?

If you had to choose between using "CRY mode" to do all of your 3D shading versus making your own shading scheme, which would you choose to do and why?

I wonder how far along the project has come?

That's good to know... It'll be facinating to see more new games for the Jaggy.
