    Another brilliant idea from Atari CEO Frederic Chesnais: "I'm not talking about just a new refrigerator ... but, like, a refrigerator. A gamified refrigerator. It's not what we are going to do, but think about something like that! Like, a new type of fridge is something we 'could do.' A refrigerator, branded, where you don't have just an 'ordinary fridge.'"

      I wouldn't even bother to drug test that guy. Just send him to rehab now.

    My world is over, my heart is dead ... I reach for her, but grasp only emptiness ... I wander alone, searching and yearning ... why go on, living without hope?

      He's in pain and irrational. Are you really going to try to win an argument with him? Of course he wants people to see what he types. He's trying to not feel forgotten. Sure it's an abuse of the forum, but there's no need to pile on.

    2. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      I agree, no need to pile on. This was just my roundabout way of showing him that there are more useful and productive ways of dealing with pain.

      fwiw, I just wish I could hide his posts so I didn't have to see them at all. Other forums have an ignore feature, I just wish this one did too.

    It may not be a fashionable opinion, but as a teacher of millenials who spend nearly every waking minute staring at their smartphones, I think he's right: http://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-rants-against-smartphones/

      I have a standing rule at the parties I host. If you're on your smartphone and facebook and shit for more than 1/2 hour total, you get thrown out. Go home and do that. Not here.

    With the glut of "Official Preorder" threads and the solid wall of "Best Game of All Time!!!" polls, the Intellivision/Aquarius forum has been almost unreadable these past few days.

    Safari on the iPad can't seem to handle multiple tabs too well: it eventually blows up on me whenever I have more than five or six open at once, especially tabs containing lots of images.

      Mine is an iPad 3 running iOS 7.1, and it's not jailbroken. Perhaps it's related to the particular sites I'm opening.

    2. oldjd

      and what sites might you be opening?

    3. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      Heh ... nothing unusual, I promise! Just AtariAge, web mail, and a few school-related sites.

    I just added another obscure vintage system to my collection: the Videomaster Star Chess, a 1979 dedicated console from the UK! Now to get a PAL-compatible TV and power converter so I can play it here in the US ...

      My wife's relatives across the pond have one of those!

    I've been rediscovering the fun of Construx building toys this weekend with my nine-year-old nephew. Why did Fischer-Price have to discontinue these?

      An excellent question. The space series was especially awesome. Anyone know how to rejuvenate the rubber wheels and treads? Armor-All?

      Myth: Alcohol does not actually kill brain cells. In fact, I'm enjoying a Samuel Adams right now. :)

      ..and after the inferior dead ones are dead, the remaining ones are smarter and don't got interference from the sub-standard ones.

    Since several of the systems we talk about here date from the 1970s, I'm thinking that AtariAge should have an optional skin made up of burnt orange, avocado, harvest gold, and fake wood paneling, to re-create the look of a 1970s living room or den.

      The gray banner at the top of the page, where the AtariAge name is and the image for the site section, that should be woodgrain...

      I think the whole site should be in 40 columns too!

    Happy 83rd Birthday, Leonard Nimoy! May you continue to live long and prosper.

      Too bad he's 'finally' retired. How many people knew that he also provided the narrator voice in Civ 4?

    Since everyone in the world is so obsessed with Flappy Bird, I thought I'd suggest a sequel, "Flappy Bird 2: Ploppy Poop", a side-scrolling game in which the player's bird has to hit the targets on the ground with its droppings.

    1. frankodragon

      frankodragon

      I wouldn't doubt those cheap LCD knockoffs will be available soon.

      yes ! Tiger Electronics version !

    3. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      This "game" is actually starting to take more shape in my mind: in addition to hitting the targets, you have to keep eating food in mid-air (so you can keep making more poop), and the farther the poop falls, the higher you score when you hit something.

       

      Sort of a combination of 2600 Fast Food and Canyon Bomber.

      I was sick of hearing about it the day after it was released.

      ...and also the many ports to old game systems and computers (i.e. Fappy Bird for the Trash-80)
