  1. Hey mate. Been busy in a new job (shift work). Good to see your skinny ass again. (That didn't sound right!)
  2. Don't show old Johnny Phelan that video ..... you'll set his head on fire whilst having simultaneous bowl evacuation!
  3. @GoldLeaderI wouldn't have it any other way you skinny bastard! More of it as far as I'm concerned in this day and age of ........ you know what!
  4. As has been reiterated here ... Atari 2600 is the true example of bad graphics (compared to now, including other 80's consoles which had far better gfx) but gr8 gameplay (shovelware aside). "Easy to learn, hard to master". Gr8 game on the ole 2600. In case your bloody interested, the PAL version of DC was released by Telegames in Europe and Oz under the name 'Night Stalker' in '89. http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-night-stalker_7808.html
  5. The 18th of August 2020 was a sad day.  The closing of the 'Atacobox' thread.  And it was my birthday of all things. :sad: In the end, Johnny Phelan got his "awesome" VCS.  At least something came good of it.

      It was fun watching him shill with his Awesome accent,...Good Times!

       

      The only way it could be better would be if @Spriggy and me joined him for a beer,  maybe added @Tickled_Pink, ... also maybe @Charlie Cat, @OldSchoolRetroGamer, and @SlidellMan, IDK someone from England...then we'd have lots of variations of English being spoken!

  6. Not a good way to start posting in the AA community after 6 posts! (even though signed up in 2013) Lighten up.
  7. Holy shit @GoldLeader. Is this you're longest multi-quote? Welcome to the family you skinny bastard! You'll make @Flojomojo & @MrBeefy proud.
  8. I'd really like to see @Tommy Tallarico and maybe @jaybird3rd take a shot at this. No excuses or deflection, but a real, honest apology. I doubt it's coming, because it would mean they would have to acknowledge doing some not-so-nice things, but if they tried, lots of people would listen. 7. Free Tacos. (You knew it was coming. )
  9. Jon from GenXGrownUp shows the roms working on an sd card on the GSP on his Full Review video @ 30:54
  10. And this is where it all began ....

    "All I know is that I have a future financial decision to make: AtariBox or tacos?

    I'm going with tacos. They have a better chance of reaching production, and also taste better than plastic."

  11. A bit of a necropost ... but does anyone have a photo of the underside of the 'Stick Station'. Thinking of making a replica. Over all dimensions would help as well, including the height and overall width of the text elements.
  12. I was surprised to see GenXGrownUps' controller test vid showing the Xbox-One controller working completely fine wired. And more so, the d-pad AND the Left Analog stick also worked. Although as I have aforementioned I just use original modded hardware, still interesting to see other options out there. Good or bad. Still weird that it appears Atari seems to be battling against themselves with different hardware releases that cover the the same general systems. eg 2600+ vs Gamestation Pro vs atari flashback gold 50th anniversary edition etc. Why not just combine the best of both and sell the ultimate system (ie DB9 ports, SD slot, Cart slot, USB & USB-C ports, HDMI, Bluetooth, Firmware update-able .. and so forth). The money obviously!

  14. You're forgetting a draw card that it has an SD card slot you can throw roms at to your hearts content.
  15. Raspberry pi + Retropie = fantastic little retro gaming option. https://retropie.org.uk/ Sorry for the hijack.
  16. You can definitely plug the Joysticks into the x2 usb-c ports to power them up ... but does that make them wired or just powered by the ports and still be blue tooth only? If it makes them wired, then definitely better than the 2600+ option imo. Plus sd card slot which is verified to accept your own roms. And it's only $100usd.
