I've posted this twice in Atarimax forums and each time the topic is deleted! Anyone here have the answers aside from the APT one fjc answered?

Given the flags are pretty much equa-distant from center. Use one loop. Do some math inside for the positions of each, redraw/move as needed with new calculated positions. Then next.

I hope it gets here early this week rather then later.

Planning on some homebrews. They look good!

Heres a way to clean up the end, rather than breaking out. 360 POKE 753,0 361 IF PEEK(753)=0 AND STRIG(0)=1 AND STRIG(1)=1 THEN GOTO 361:REM WAIT FOR KEY OR BUTTON 362 POKE 53277,0:REM TURN OFF PMG 363 GRAPHICS 0 364 END

Count me in for 1.

Best Electronics - problem with ordering

Might be worth a try, but my guess is while it may look good, it wont matter if the inv & qty isnt accurate. Which, and im just guessing, is difficult to create and keep track of for a small (or 1 man) team in a big warehouse. Time consuming to say the least. -
I bought all but Bubsy. When I got the Jag I had been visiting my mom in Florida. We went to some mall and I saw the Jags on the top shelf behind the register at KB. I stopped to see the price. I didnt buy it. Later right after I left my moms, I asked her to go back and get it for me. She did, and also got Bubsy. Im not really a fan of the game and I didnt pick it, nor would I have. I kept it none the less. When I got the pther games on clearance I dont think they had Tempest or it wasnt marked down. I honestly cant remember. Ill check youtube for game play video of the other games and maybe pick some up. Thanks for the game advise.

Sadly yes. I remember seeing Tempest 2000, wanted it, but for whatever reason never got it.

Both excellent responses. It was a cheat to get to the last page since the mobile interface doesnt give you a last button. -
Checkered Flag Club Drive Bubsy Zool 2 Zoop
-
I pulled my Jaguar from storage this weekend. It''s only been hooked up once before, mint. I played about an hour, various games. It has been about 13 or 14 years since I played with it last, which was when I got it new on clearance from KB for $25. Seems like I picked the games up NIB on clearance from somewhere online at the same time. I have to say that while I was disappointed in the frame rate of Checkered Flag, which caused me to crash more than I would have, I was PLEASED with the overall game play with two of the other games Zool 2, and Bubsy. Club Drive = meh, and I might have enoyed Zoop more had I bothered to read the instructions. It left me wondering why Atari hadn't released it sooner, or if it was "on time", why they didn't market it harder. There seems to have been great potential for it. At this point just glab to be holding onto it.

So i have 8 games inbound. The first, Joust arrived. It is absolutlety killing me to play it, and. I can not wait for the system to arrive. Ugh! The more I think about it, the more I want a Harmony 2 as well, when available. This system will be my Atari gaming system, in other words it will be played with unlike the other systems. My other systems will stay in storage until I get a display case and have the glass UV protected. Will the Harmony 2 cover high score saves? Come on USPS, I'm dying here...

I have the MyIDE ][ doing what i want, but have one point of confusion to resolve. Following the instructions for creatung the CF card, I have 4GB card, I initialized it with Fat 32=Y, APT=Y. I created four 16MB partitions assigned to d1 through d4. When i look at the CF card on Windows I see 3 partitions. - 1 Raw which I format as Fat32 and copy XEX files to - no issues (950 MB). - 1 unidentified healthy partition, which I think is the APT one (950 MB). If I init with APT=N,I dont see this one and only the other 2 are present. - 1 image space partition (1.8 GB). I think this is for the ATR images to be placed, but cant figure out how to do it. Maybe I need SIO2PC to load it? My confusion lies around the APT=Y and what it does? I know its Atari Partition Table. Does it change how the cards partition table is written or is it only within one of the partitions, which doesnt make sense to me. Which partition is holding the MyDOS 16 MB disks? Thanks. Wade

Post your favorite underrated consoles
Ripdubski replied to xDragonWarrior's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I based that on personal observation. Most everyone I knew had NES or Super NES systems. But if you want to throw down numbers... Wiki states there were 34 million NES sold in US, and 23 million SNES. so was TG16 (2.5 million) less popular? Looks like it, at 13.6 to 1 (NES) and 9.2 to 1 (SNES). -

Going to have to go with the TG16. Some great games there and not many people had this system. -
When did the PC market get "stupid"?
Ripdubski replied to Keatah's topic in Classic Computing Discussion
Was it ever smart? Its been marketing dollars for dominance since the mid 80's. And the only way to mass market something highly technical is to dumb it down to the lowest common denominator - the un-technical user.
