Hi all, on easy I scored 31,400

Now this is going to be fun! Got the games locked and loaded! (on Friday) Beast Busters - 1500 Ghouls and Ghosts - 9600

Looks interesting. Looking for a good Coleco emulator for Mac OSX or Android.

And that is the last we saw of Bochum_Boy. A real shame for a would be a Lynx programmer. Was working on Bentley Bear Honey Hunt. Sad...

So there was my case for Crystal Castles. Hopefully possible one day. In the meantime something I was thinking lately, especially with Beast Busters and Ghouls'n'Ghosts being on the Jaguar high score club this month; thanks for all the fun these games have added to the Jag.

Oh excellent! You decided to port Encounter afterall! Nice!

Just a fun thiing I put together today. Sadly this awesome banner I was not able to use as a cover picture for Facebook: So I made this static picture. Enjoy! One more for Atari's unspoken mascot!

I found this link last night. Will probably pick this up soon once I find my 7800 and see if it still works. https://erstwhile-technologies-7800.square.site/product/concerto-cartridge/5?cs=true&cst=custom

Looks really cool, but then I've liked a lot of the games you've come up with. Ok... I really liked Tube and had a cart made of it since I knew I would (and have) be playing that lot.

Awesome stuff! Had a good run with it.

Tell you, if all you got was the base unit and CD add on, you'd already be like $400-$500 ahead. Staggering to imagine a Jaguar in that shape, but at the same time, was kinda cool to see one with all dust and all. Glad things have resumed on this. Man this has been a long story.

I remember playing the "Ecco the Dolphin" CD version on the JagCD. A great way to relax there for a while.

Congrats on meeting the goal. Jag is a fun system to collect for. Jaguar High Score Club is a fun introduction to more games.

I've been playing this game being finally sold on the idea that Bentley Bear is Atari's unspoken mascot. Looked like Bentley played a significant part in the game (and I was not wrong) so I checked it out. And glad I did. The game helped cement a bunch of classic characters in the Atari line up, like Torr for the Swordquest series, Nick the Demon from Demons to Diamonds (cute?), Warren the main guy from Adventure, the Yar, and the Caretaker himself is another interesting character as the Atari company works to establish and re-establish their own community of characters: Still working to wrap up this game (currently on the final boss!). Game has been really fun and engaging. Thanks for the video on how to find the 5th floor!

New Atari did say they were supportive of the retro scene. Spin would be Bentley Bear is the unspoken mascot of Atari. [Atari Mania 2022] Getting Crystal Castle on the Jaguar would help Atari establish Bentley that much more as a mascot, and help build excitement for future Bentley Bear projects and Bentley Bear merchandise sales. We get a free game, and Atari gets free advertising.

https://www.atarilegend.com/games/bentley-bears-magical-anagramsIt has been asked over the years, if you have Sonic for Sega, and Mario for Nintendo, who is the mascot for Atari? And while this has been debated, and other mascots concepts were made, one has managed to sneakily remain just out of the lime light, but just in sight. A cute friendly looking bear that just likes to collect gems. Why? Who knows!? Because... gems! But he has a cool unlimited bag to hold the gems. A cool hat that he only gets for a few seconds to be invulnerable, and best of all, a big "B" belt buckle. I think Bentley Bear IS the unspoken mascot for Atari. At least over time he has gotten a lot of screen time and fairly well represented over the various Atari platforms. Check this out, I was actually quite amazed!

Other appearances: And I like how Bentley Bear is the main character shown on the Atari Mania cover art. Bentley plays a big part in the game where you as the Caretaker are solving a mystery during a night shift at the Atari Museum. Three appearances in 50th Anniversary with the arcade Crystal Castles, 2600 Crystal Castles, and Atari Karts. All this to say, I think Bentley Bear is already the unspoken mascot for Atari, or someone that Atari will at least feature on a re-occurring basis. And you know what, I'm ok with that. He's kinda cute, and I like how there is still a lot to know about the character. Some mystery left there for this somewhat greedy and yet friendly bear.

Looks much better than the other version of Zool I saw before. Couple that with Amiga sounds and music might be a good combo.

Another vote for Crystal Castles !

Not being into 7800 or Bentley Bear at the time I missed out on this awesome game. 😕

LOL! Reading over this again (and archiving) I found it hilarious that an 8-bit version could display more charsima than the 16-bit version. But then again, he is a kitten.

They had to change the shape of the awards? Interesting! I guess I need to pay them another look. (Guess I'm glad we got ours when we did).

Thinking back to my pre-2008 self, I believe there was a version of me that wanted to work for Atari, or impress Atari. How fun it would be to work for Atari. Then we, or at least I, got a different view of Atari when Combat 2 and Adventure 2 were being worked on. An Atari that did not care that we had a childhood love for the system, or the games, or wanted so much a pat on the head for even remembering a game system that had long been obsolete. The Atari we got to know said "drop what you're doing and step away from the innovation". Atari figuratively held us by our ankles and shook loose anything that was theirs (the Atari emblem, and anything that remotely looked like their property) and once that was all shaken out, went back to their offices where they were not heard from for a while. And it was then I realized the Atari of my childhood was no more. But there were places I could go and have fun with fans, and that spirit of wonder we could all share together. And I found it interesting that "Atariage" lasted longer than the original time of Atari. And there are still such places the wonder of Atari and early games can be shared. And until this place is gutted as a corporate asset (not a matter of if but a matter of when), you can do that for a while here too.

Long term, Atariage will last as long as the current Atari allows it to. Should be ok for a little bit. Now is a good time to enjoy, but archive and save.. save.. save..

I totally agree on this point. A lot of skill and talent went into this place to form a community, and I'm pretty sure the people that contributed it did so with the idea it was more of a combined hobbyist idea, not contributing to a money making corporation in the end for free. Oh totally get it! Yeh that was pretty snippy because we've had a lot of valuable information given on this website from people that started as non-subscribers. I was a subscriber for the last two years, and would be currently but the payment system was not working for whatever reason. Al said he was looking into that back in April, and that was the last I heard of it. So there could be people that wanted to subscribe and just simply couldn't.
