  1. I believe this cover was shown in-color on the cover of that 1983 software booklet. I remember it looking a lot more eye popping though, so the black/white might have made it not look as good. If anyone has that 1983 software booklet (the one that has the Imagic & MBX games in it, and I think was packaged with the MBX carts) if you could post up a scan it would be neat to see. I always wanted to see that manual in person as it was very cool looking.
  2. Looks like these guys might have it, at least there looks to be a picture of the box or manual: http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/40419/Castle-Conquer/
  3. How about some good ol' CSI Design/PS Software games: -Wallaby -Space Rescue (from the early days, 1980)
  4. Just found this out. Did you know that Space Bandits used the same font for its game as the Super Bowl XIV (1980) logo? I just stumbled upon this today while looking at past Super Bowl's. Also, Space Bandits starts with an S and B, just like Super Bowl, making the similarities even more obvious:
  5. Also would be neat to allow others to watch it, like a live broadcast of the two people playing.
  6. Well, actually I was thinking more of a head-to-head challenge than a high score competition. Since Meteor Belt is a simultaneous 2-player game, it would be one where you could head-to-head against someone. you probably would have to do it through emulation on the PC to allow for two people to play head-to-head. Speaking of which, it would be kind of neat if an emulator had this feature to somehow allow people to go head to head. Maybe have the a website where gamers could connect for head-to-head match-ups and the server has the game and emulation software on it with some programming to allow for transmitting the data to both end-users? Probably could do this over a browser if the emulator was on a server.
  7. It's Matt Splett time, as he takes on Bigfoot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5KkiFN7fVg He was streaming live on 1/6. Might be up for a TI challenge, like to see him stream Parsec. He also did another Bigfoot on 1/13, just 2 days ago. Wonder if there's a way to play against him? Might be fun challenging him to a Meteor Belt duel.
  8. This is interesting, to ship to Buffalo, NY it would be only $16 via USPS!
  9. Apparently it's expensive to ship to Canada, although USPS is only $48 , UPS is the $185. Had to check in order to believe. Guess no international customers on this one
  10. I have a NON-FUNCTIONAL Colecovision unit with controllers (of which seem to be semi-functional) that I am looking to sell for $2 plus shipping. I figure that $2 would cover any gas and PayPal fees so that I at least walk away even when leaving the post office Anyway, you can read about it here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/332432292053?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649 To calculate shipping, just type your zip code into the eBay auction calculator and it should give you a cost. I'll end the auction once I hear from someone here on AtariAge. It looks like there might be rust on the circuit board chips, but the controllers looked fine from what I could tell when I opened all the items up. Hopefully someone can use this for parts or even manage to get it working again.
  11. Prices have been reduced further and now I even put in a discount price if you buy the entire lot
  12. I just found out how to export Outlook e-mails to a csv file which means I now have a project. I have had the 1997-1999 River Listserver e-mails in Outlook and have been meaning to make a public database where people could search the old Listserver messages. For those that don't remember, The River was where Tom Wills hosted the first TI-99 mailing list which ran from 1996-1999 before going to eGroups and then Yahoo! as the OLUG. The messages from the OLUG are searchable to this day, but no archive of The River listserver exists (there was one by Mr. Moon back in the early 2000s or so, but that archive is long gone). Anyway, I just uploaded these e-mails to my website (link will be coming eventually when I am further along) into a MySQL database. All I have to do now is create a search interface as well as a display interface so the messages can be read on an HTML webpage. This is a wealth of info and should be fun to get this out there. Now my only questions are the following: Does anyone have messages from The River listserver before 8/7/97? That's what I have back to. I know they must be out there since Mr. Moon's defunct site went back to 1996 and someone provided those to him for that project. Just hope they have not been deleted/lost in the time since. I probably will try to add other TI message forums as well in the future once I get this done. I'd like to put the TI-ECHO up and any others (didn't Delphi have a TI board?) if anyone has those. If anyone has any other source of on-line TI messaging let me know as I'd love to eventually grow this out as a one-stop-shop for historical TI info.
  13. MicoGraphicImage (MGI) was doing the port. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroGraphic_Image

  23. Wow, I just checked and it's been going on since 2003 (Bravo Sierra Computers). All the posts seem to be annoying right from the beginning. Does he actually sell Atari items, or is it someone just fooling around trying to be annoying. Not sure he would have much of an audience nowadays though!
