I haven’t decided on a SDcart option just yet, but if I do decide to buy the Atarimax, I will reach out for any assistance I need. Thank you again for everything!

I don’t own this yet, but here’s the Atarimax I mentioned in my previous post:

Wow! Thank you to everyone who responded. The Fujinet device sounds like a must-have peripheral for the Atari 8-bit micros. I’ll have to buy one, once they’re available for sale on the developer’s website again. The Side 3 (or any type of SD cartridge) seems like a must as well. While searching online last evening, I came across the Atarimax. It seems nice, but from what I can tell, it doesn’t support SDcards but instead a USB connection. In addition, it seems to rely on Windows to copy game images to the device, and unfortunately I use Macs. I do have Windows 7 installed on an older, Celeron-based MacBook, which I assume will work fine with the AtariMax cartridge? Well, I am off to the Post Office to pick up my 600xl. I can’t contain my excitement!

Did you download the Firmware update for the Modern controller? Missing that can cause the controller to act strange during certain games.

My order is in! I can’t wait to play both games.

As of tomorrow, I will officially be an Atari 600xl user. To say that I am excited would be an understatement. The 600xl that I’m receiving has a 64k RAM expansion, which I was told was enough to run most games. I purchased the computer from AA user 800_Rocks. He was really good with setting me up with everything I needed, so I could hit the ground running when I finally hook the computer up. Which leads me to the point of this post - Being relatively new to these 8bit computers, I’m unaware of any current peripherals available to enhance the machine (beyond that RAM expansion). In addition, I don’t know what games are worth buying, above and beyond 1st party Atari titles. Plus, I love homebrew games. While I am aware of some homebrew titles (as seen by scrolling through the forums), I suspect there must be a lot more out there, and I would really like to know what they are. I apologize for my post sounding so noobish. I did own a 130xe a long time ago, but I never really used it much. Not sure why; I just didn’t. Anyway, thank you for reading my post and for responding, if you do.

Beers and nachos, mate! 😁

Finally! I own the MVS version of Xeno Crisis!

I can’t believe I missed this one! Will you be selling more copies of Wizard of War on cartridge some time in the near future?

I pre-ordered both Gods and The Chaos Engine earlier today. If I wasn’t going to buy a 600xl, I would have purchased Stormbringer, too. Oh well! Next payday then. 😁

Ooooh yeeeaah!

Found my computer!

I learned about the crash on the nightly news. Deep down I knew it wasn’t gone forever, though.

The store went bonkers on me while ordering Gods and The Chaos Engine. First, it said my password was invalid, so I changed it. After logging in, and as I placed my order, it said ‘username and email’ already in use. From there, I created a new account, but the store wouldn’t allow me to login (it claimed invalid password again). On my third attempt, it finally worked and my order went through, all the while the ‘calculating Shipping’ message kept appearing and disappearing in my browser. Gee. The order went through and I’m happy. I also received a confirmation email for my order too.

Woohoo! I have a date with the AtariAge store! 😁

PM sent.

Hello! Is the price firm?

I am regretting selling my 130XE some years ago. I am looking for an Atari 130XE w/ Power Supply and a/v cables. If anyone is willing to part with this beautiful 8-bit computer, then don’t hesitate to contact me via DM. I am looking for a good price on this computer without paying inflated eBay prices. Having the retail box is not necessary.

Happy Halloween to my fellow Neo-Geo fanatics!

Anytime, Anthony! Us Neo-Geo/SNK gamers stick together; it’s a brotherhood/sisterhood (I’m acknowledging the female Neo-Geo/SNK gamers out there, too!)

Metal Slug Awakening! Gameplay in 4K:

You and me both! I believe they go on sale next week?

Stormbringer will be among the Jaguar games I purchase in November. 👍🏻

I’m interested in owning a physical copy!

I’d be all over this if I didn’t own one already. It really is a great computer. Developers are making strides in updating their software to make it compatible with Apple’s new CPU. $1300 w/ a 1-yr Apple Care Plan is a steal. 👍🏻
