Definitely vintage for me. Because you know, I need my Star Raiders, man.

I know this forum may seem a little overdue. But I think it's time that this was said on Atariage.
I was first introduced with Halo playing splitscreen with some buds on Thanksgiving day. We played Halo 3, and played it for hours. That got me hooked on the whole franchise itself. When Halo 4 came out, my love for the series increased, my brothers and friends used to have Halo parties in which I would participate. We ended up laughing our tales off, and enjoy taking each other down. A couple of years later, Halo 5: Guardians is announced, and over time we hear that it has no splitscreen. Now I understand they want it to look smooth, and top of the line, but this is a tragedy in gaming. While 343i is trying to compete with COD, Gears of War, etc. the no splitscreen will bring them down without a doubt. How can they expect me to buy two Xbox Ones, and two copies of Halo 5?
Okay, rant over, what are your thoughts?

Looking good! Do you think you can increase the posh'ness and coziness?
Maybe so, we'll see.

Hey, Atarians! I thought I'd shed some light on my updated gaming setup. I hope this will make you geek out like I do when I am in this room.
Entry View:
Entry View when the main light is off:
Another angle of my gaming desk, Atari XEGS(left), NES(top left), My Toshiba Laptop(middle), and my Atari ST (Right)
A little light effect I put under my desk:
Next to it is my console setup: Xbox 360(top left), Atari Jaguar(top right), and Atari 2600(bottom)
I am very proud of this, my Jaguar Team Tap:
My shelf full of retro games in their boxes:
Last but not least, the box for my favorite unit, the Atari XEGS:
Welp, that's about it so far. Hope y'all like it. I plan to updated it in the near future, but as of now, I'm enjoying every inch of it. Thanks for reading.

I'm wanting to combine my pc gaming desk with my many many consoles. But I'm looking for a good solution that is not an L shaped desk that will house all of my consoles and my computer, all on 1-2 monitors. I have found a few alright desks for this but I know they will just end up looking bad and very cluttered. Does anyone have one, or know of one that will hold say 6 consoles or more along with a computer?

I just use an iceberg table for my Atari XEGS and 520ST, this is including the printer, disk drives, monitors, etc. You could place two or three of those tables together.

Brotherhoods sound like gangs to me.
I have Tandys, an Amiga, and two STs. Can't really pick my retro computer. I feel most comfortable on the Tandy. The ST and Amiga are exotic.
Lol. My apologies, I wasn't going for a 'gang'. I just got the Atari ST, and now I am a huge fan of it. So I guess it's a fan-group?
-
Hey, Atarians. This may come out as a stupid question. But has anyone started an Atari ST brotherhood? If not, I guess I'll start it?

I'm definitely a gamer. I have sealed games, but I usually go for the loose ones.
-
Wow, it looks really cool, but yeah, it looks painted.

I took the time to beat Swordquest Earthworld. Even more boring than Waterworld, but I actually thought it was cool when I got the Warrior's Sword.

FB1: Has game X on it
FB2: Game X removed
Okay, let's release a FB3, we will put game X back on it and that's our spin!
Emulates Atari's poor business decisions as well!
Man, you are right.. When you look at it that way, technically the only good Atari console by AtGames was the FB3.
(I do enjoy the FB6 because of Swordquest Waterworld and Solaris),

I commonly find Genesis controller buttons unresponsive these days. Much more so than any other system.
I've come up with the same conclusion. This being said, I found a Genesis controller that actually worked very well. 2600-7800 gaming couldn't have been better.
-
I am definitely asking and giving Video Games. I'm hoping to get a couple of Jaguar games, maybe some 5200 games as well. I'm going to be giving my friend some cheap Xbox and PS2 games. He's really into those systems.
-
Dang, you two should be called the Super Sprite Bros, P-M-R and D_2600.

I've been playing SwordQuest Waterworld on the Flashback 6. Best in the series I think.

The rom is out there...
Yeah, if they have a rom of Superman III, I wouldn't doubt Ewok Adventure having a rom, maybe Atarimania has one?
EDIT: Atarimania does have a rom.

Between joysticks and dpads, I'd probably prefer dpads. I like joysticks in certain games, but most of them fit the dpad in my opinion.
I think we can all agree that the wii controllers sucked.
-
Not to derail this thread to much... Does anybody enjoy the gameplay of Ewok Adventure? It's still a game I try my damnest to get into - still can't.
Hmm, I think Tempest might know what the game play is like. Ewok Adventure never released.
^^^ Here's a footage of the gameplay.

With that dogshit controller. Good lord, how I hated that thing. One of my friends got that system when it first came out, I remember being at his house and trying the games and not being able to play a single one for long because of those controllers. And people complain about the 5200 controller! That stupid 4-button cross directional pad (though good that it had more than one fire button) was a deal-breaker. And people accepted that! Fine for every game? No thanks.
Hmm, on the d-pad subject, I guess it depends. I find the NES and Sega d-pads to be close to perfect. The Atari Lynx had a pretty good d-pad as well. I'd say my favorite d-pad would have to be the Jaguar version. Of course, d-pads for the Xbox 360, 3DO, and Sega Dreamcast, not my favorite. However, I wouldn't go so far as to say the d-pad is worse than the 5200 controller. The 5200 controller sucks, and is only good for certain games like Missile Command.

Atari + Nintendo + Sega = AWESOME!!! I've been playing Donkey Kong and Mario Bros. on the 2600 with a Sega Genesis controller.

I actually understand where you're coming at, TTP. For me, like you, I never grew up with the old systems. I started with the NES, I adored it. When I got the 2600, I immediately thought Atari was BETTER than Nintendo. But of course, it all comes down to opinion, you can say Atari sucks, but you have to consider it's standards by it's time line. Most people I meet actually think Atari is cool, but they always put Nintendo and Sega waaaay above Atari.

Don't think it was ever published!
Only one copy exists! Pal & NTSC!
Oh, thanks for the info. I bought a Parker Brothers Gaming Catalog for two dollars. Ewok Adventure was on there, so I assumed it was released.

What's going on, guys? Not too long ago I got Jedi Arena for the 2600. Long before that, I got the Empire Strikes Back game for the 2600 as well. I noticed that there are two Return of the Jedi games for a few Atari systems, one is Death Star Battle, and the other is Ewok Adventure, since I couldn't find Ewok Adventure on Ebay, I think I'll pass on it for now. However, on my search for Death Star Battle, I found a few listings for the 2600, and plenty of listings for the Atari 8-bit computer. Which would you recommend, the 2600 version, or the 8-bit version?
Side Question:
How rare is Ewok Adventure? I couldn't find it anywhere! If any of you guys know anything about it, feel free to share!

I'm a huge gamer, so when I buy a game, then it's going to be played. Unless I find something amazing like Swordquest: Waterworld sealed in the box, I don't think any game will exist in my collection without it being played more than 10 times.
(First post of a new page, wooh!)
