  1. So how did this turn out? Will bradd1978 have a Christmas miracle?
  2. I would too. The NEW WKRP DVD Shout factory!!
  3. Bubsy, Raiden, Rayman, Zool 2, Soccer Kid, Joust
  4. I'll add my report. And if other unauthorized reproductions are found, add the link here and I'll add my report on those too.
  5. Wow, and people WOULD and have made a big deal about the mods used. Good point.
  6. Totally get you. There were some rarities in there for sure. Maybe if someone can reach out to his family and just carefully ask or give them options and places to reach out to when ready to sell.
  7. Today's joke....

      If there is a more pathetic procrastinator than me, I'd like to meet them.

      Hi, Max_Chatsworth, I'm atari2600land. Nice to meet you.

  8. My 64,250 score was left off but oh well, here's 50,830. Others will be coming.
  9. Two good games, but that does date how long it's been.
  10. Luckily I missed 90s BBSing and all the pirate boards getting locked down and raided. I was busy with college at the time.. So for me and BBSing started in I believe '81 using a 300 baud 1030 modem, and I want to say I called the Dal-ACE BBS (in Dallas naturally). Many BBSs followed, many Atari (JYBOLAC, INTACT, Psyclos Empire, The Equalizer BBS, the Danger Room, OA (my short lived BBS), NCC-1701, Sgt. Pepper's BBS, and The Ice Palace?) and called a few other BBSs where they had continue the story boards (Fast Times at Ridgemont High, MaR MaR's Place, The Unknown BBS). I quickly left 300 baud and was using 1200/2400 before long. Four to eight times the speed baby!! BBSing from there I called BBSs while on Guam in '94-'95, when I got back I was on Chrysalis (a multi-line BBS with IRC, email, and telnet). Got back into Ft. Worth and Dallas BBS scenes around '99. Was on Collin County Station in the early 2000's, and over time got on the Prison Board BBS around 2006 which I used for dialup in Dallas and telneting out to other Atari BBS's of the now (Boot Factory, Dark Forces). Though the Prison Board BBS does not have it's own dialup line, there is a service that is creating a dial-in point that connects to internet BBSs. And here in 2020 there are actually quite a few dialup BBSs. The Backyard BBS and Basement BBSs are Atari run. So shed the beards and false teeth, get a modem, get a phone line "that can handle a fax machine" (as I had to tell AT&T when I was getting a line installed) and give dial-up BBSs a shot!
  11. Overall it goes something like this: Atari ST has the best graphics. Atari Lynx has the best sound. And the Atari Jaguar version with the ST port has them both... along with the sound sets from all the other Atari systems that you can select. Ironically, the Atari 2600 had a better sound set than the original ST sound set. But if I have to choose a straight up classic version, it would be the Atari 400/800 (XL/XE/5200). Just like how the game handles. You can soar along in that one. Mostly a combination of gameplay/replayability along with the graphics and sound which just overall works.
  12. So have the batches been released on Wednesday nights so far?
  13. (Just laughs) Oh well, on the plus side for me, not the largest 7800 fan so this flash notification didn't hit me as hard. Happy for you bigger fans that scored it this time. Merry Christmas in a way.
  14. This can be found here. You can see the comments. The basics are, as expected, you can't capture lightning in a bottle or bring that magic back twice. I get it. My thoughts: So I think the show was a fairly realistic continuation of the story. People moved on, new people were hired. Some of the old guard stopped in but not all, and that is true to life really. The show gives us new characters that are fun, but also mentions what happened to the characters in the original series. And most important new Johnny Fevor stories! Loved it. A Youtube playlist that has some New WKRP episodes. (It starts in second of this playlist)
  15. Yeh, guess if I want one of those shirts I'll have to get one made.
  16. What comes to mind at this point is that this might be something to take to someone that repairs DVD players. That 501 might be marginally working in some power component or other issue. Motherboards go out, but I'm finding these days it is usually other parts (moving parts, parts related to power) go out more likely.
  17. Which is my point. And as it is the Jag can play about ten 2600 games fairly well.
  18. Didn't catch this part before. What is the ULS?
  19. When the N501 came out the Nuon games were already selling at Best Buy for $5 a piece. Still I applied for a Best Buy card... and was turned down. Roughly 17 years later I was at a pawn shop and they had a N501 for sale for $20. Was great. I bought another N501 shortly after for a good price, and had one controller or two N501s. And it was then I got to play with the home brew library of the Nuon.
