I cant download these games on my PC anything I can do?

You might need to be more specific on what you mean. In the original post in the thread, Vocelli posted some .bin files for the games being played (at the very bottom of the post). Are they not clickable for you or computer not saving because of a trust issue perhaps? We'll need more details on what you mean to try to help you out and playing!

[Season 15 ~ Weeks 14/15/16 ~ HomeBrew Weeks!]

Dog!: 26309

Juno: 80750

Meow: 8040

[Season 15 ~ Week 13 ~ Turmoil]

62900. I WANT to get to level 10... hope to get another chance!

[Season 15 ~ Weeks 11/12 ~ Holiday Special]

Crossbow: 15750 - took me longer than I care to admit that you're supposed to shoot one of the color things at the bottom to actually start the game!

Cross Force: 2960 - interesting concept, not sure I like it though

Red Sea Crossing: 9300 - yep

[Season 15 ~ Week 10 ~ Challenge Week]

I tried for a couple hours tonight, and didn't improve. it's kind of funny that I know what I'm doing now, but yet somehow gotten worse as far as score goes

How can I blow up the planet by myself?

you have to blow up the fuel depot on the planet. The big negative with that is the whole sector will turn into that red screen/reverse controls stuff, which obviously stinks. That was the only workaround I could figure out at the time. Hopefully there's some other solution, but I'm not familiar enough with the game to know for sure!

I need help, please. I just visited a "federation planet" and now I want to move LEFT or UP, but the game does not allow this move. WHY? The only way I can go is right, from where I came. But I cleared the area to the right - there is nothing for me to do. I'm stuck in a loop...help

 

 

I had that EXACT same problem! The only thing I could figure out was blowing up the planet. I don't understand why it happened either.

[Season 15 ~ Week 10 ~ Challenge Week]

Solaris: 70520

 

Really cool game and I'm intrigued to try to finish it since apparently there's an ending as Vocelli said!

Congrats GType

 

this looks like a read the instructions game

 

6390

Yes! I read the manual after trying once and things are a lot more clear now. Not a good for a "pick up and play"

[Season 15 ~ Weeks 8 & 9 ~ Tigervision]

Improvements!

 

Jaw Breaker: 25670

River Patrol: 10530

Threshold: ROLLAGE!

The final video (Frostbite) has officially been uploaded! If you're interested in the entire playlist for all of these games, you can find that list at this link! 

Thanks to anyone who spent any time watching or reading any of this. It is appreciated and hopefully can be helpful to anyone wanting to try the idea out for yourself!

Hey Dr. Moo Cowz, I watched parts of your video on YT and read a bit in your Activision Patch Challenge thread and just wanted to say Wow! I'm totally impressed with the whole thing, so cool!  

I appreciate the kind words!

[Season 15 ~ Weeks 8 & 9 ~ Tigervision]

Jaw Breaker: 9930 - cool take on Pac-Man

River Patrol: 4520 - boats need to learn courtesy!

Threshold: 10560 - maybe patience is needed on this, too? I was being kind of aggressive and often getting smoked by the homing missiles

[Season 15 ~ Week 7 ~ Paper Medal Winner]

Robot Tank: 45

 

Thanks for the video mention @Absalon! I apparently need to rewatch it myself and re-learn patience and waiting for the right conditions!

[Season 15 ~ Week 7 ~ Paper Medal Winner]

Seaquest - submarine!

[Season 15 ~ Week 6 ~ Bronze Medal Winner]

Tut: 629
Dark Cavern: 181000

[Season 15 ~ Week 5 ~ Silver Medal Winner]

River Raid: 65550

River Raid 1 life: 19330

 

I know I can do better and hopefully will get another chance this week!

[Season 15 ~ Week 4 ~ Gold Medal Winner]

35850

[Season 15 ~ Week 4 ~ Gold Medal Winner]

Adventure

[Season 15 ~ Week 3 ~ Platinum Medal Winner]

Thrust: 8300

Solar: 3130

 

Both of these are tough. If I get another crack at it, I need to be in a patience mindset!

[Season 15 ~ Week 2 ~ Kung Fu Master]

Kung Fu Master: 30580
Berzerk: 4060

Hit boxes feel really janky for Kung Fu. I got lucky to beat the level 1 boss exactly once. I wish I had more time this week to try to figure out things to do better.

[Season 15 ~ Week 1 ~ Dig Dug]

Dig Dug: 36470

Space Invaders: 3115

 

Apparently y'all are really good at Dig Dug

I had mentioned in my letter to Santa that I like to wear T-shirts.  It is boring I know, but basically If I am not at work (casual Fridays excluded), I am wearing a T-shirt.  And Santa got me what I asked for, but in a totally unexpected way.  It is a T-shirt with the box art from my first Atari 2600 game Doggone It!.  I gotta say it, that is doggone awesome.

     

 

That is freaking awesome!

[The Official Atari Age Secret Santa 2023 Thread!]

I didn't participate this year because I'm at a crossroads if I even want to collect games anymore (and might start selling!), but I still enjoy this idea and have been watching and waiting for gifts to roll in for others!
