Hey I think Zippy is fine. 

I can never understand why anyone would get mad at a FREE GAME.  But they do.  LOL!

Personally, I love the platform games and think the Atari 2600 could use more.   DEW IT!!

I was able to enter "DRC" but "CLU" was not possible.

BTW, is there a way to enter a name for the Wizard of Wor high score board or is that just the score?

(otherwise a lot of fun, thanks!)

This is really cool, but why was I not able to use the letter "L" as a middle character on the high score?  Using this on a beige Atari 800.  My score was the two that were "CUU" when I wanted to put in "CLU"

Ok, here's a fun one.  While playing Bubsy for what must be over a thousand times by now and have the current speedrun record well you get to where you rank and spoof the game.   I mean in any game you barrel past the frustrations of the learning curve you have to.  Oh, and the Jaguar controller is quite tough.  It got thrown down a LOT when I was mastering this game.

When I was learning the Alice and Wonderland levels I was playing with kids of a friend of mine, who used to laugh when Bubsy would knock on the screen if you had him waiting.  Wonderful times.   And when we went through a warp gate we would make race car noises and then breaking noises when we emerged out of the other gate.

Years later (playing on my own by this point) For the "Giant" with Jack in the Beanstalk levels, the hit area on the giant is kinda interesting.  The only place I consistently found that you would not tend to die was landing just forward of the pilot of the Giant mech.  And .. (I'm laughing as I say this) for years I would say "suck my d*... suck my d*..." and it seemed to work.  There were many other times I would simply try landing there and without saying the quote and I would die.   (I no longer need this chant BTW) 

Water levels "What do I look like?  Flipper"  became "What do I look like?  A Stripper?"

And the final world "Nothing Can Stop Us now!" was often met with "EVERYTHING!" or "BULLSH*T!"  Always thought this saying was the Fractured Furry Tales version of "What could possibly go wrong?"

When you finish the game, collect your kiss from the Witch on the way out.     Well the game calls her Mother Goose, but the in code notes has her as the Witch of the Hansel and Gretel story.  Either way she's kinda a hottie.

I like a good story.  It IS a good story right?

I want to say Liz.  That is basically who he's been with the longest?

Poor Jon.  Also, when was this strip?   I remember him being some black haired woman.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I know there are multiple makers of joysticks out there.  Few seem to get the stick portion of the joystick right for durability.  The Flashback sticks of rigid plastic that screwed on... breaks where it screws on.   These and others the base of the controllers are made so small and flimsy it is no wonder they broke.

These are great for someone who wants to collect this stuff.  Show off a game or two to a friend of "what was" and pack it all away.  But a lot of joystick makers just don't get the serious gamer who are playing to win, hours and hours of gaming against increasingly difficult foes.  Vintage sticks seemed to understand that and they last years. Why mess with perfection?

This is one of those 2600 controller repros.  Looks just like a 2600 controller.

I have a bin of vintage 2600 controllers.  Just need to get one of those working.  While I was moving it was just easier to pick up the replacement controller at a game store.  They (the made in China) look nice till actually try to use one.

Oh really?  Just got on the Fujinet as well.  Which online gameplay?

So here's a thought: TRICK or Treat right?  We are forgetting the trick part.

So you rig a bowl on a stand.  People are supposed to take one piece of candy?   No problem.

Someone picks UP the bowl, and an attached string releases the most PUNGENT smell.  Yes, a fart. 

Trick or treat!

Sorry to hear that.     Sounds like real scum.

Got the DVD so there is that. 

Thanks for that Wongojack, looks like an interesting place.

True, this has been the go to.  Kinda consolidated it all nicely into one place.

There are a few places I know of.  For starters, quite a few Facebook forums for Atari.

I see some activity on Atari.org.  A very dated and unsecure site sadly.  😕

This one looks active https://atari-forum.com/

Club VCS... looks cool..  https://forums.atari.io/forum/131-vcs-topics/

And back that up a bit, the other forums..  https://forums.atari.io/

There's lots of Atari out there, just curious what other places other people find fun to frequent?
