[Season 9 ~ Week 6 ~ H.E.R.O]

H.E.R.O - Game 1 B/B

62,835

Played on: Original 'Vader' (Batari S-Video mod) / cx40. PAL cart (HES).

 

Nothing really to say here.  One of the best titles on the 2600.   I haven't played it in well over a year.  Had one game b4 I had to go out.  Pretty happy.  Will def improve.

Also .. for f#ck sake @nads @OldManG   Rollage is mighty impressive imo.  I'll have beer on that! 🍻

I'll make sure only ads for Tacos are shown in the AtariBox thread.

For a second there ... I thought it was the Ashoebox thread!  The Boss always keeps us on track when we digress for too long.😋

But I digress .... again.

 

Ads?  Pfft.  Couldn't give two sh#ts.  AA is way too valuable to lose.  What ever it takes Al!  Also, absolutely a Donate option on the site.  Plenty would be willing to help I'd like to think.

I for one appreciate that you explained the joke. It doesn't make it funny, but now I know. 🤓 🐟 

 

 

Cheeky sod 😄

 

 

Bad fish jokes aside 🙄, it's pretty bloody sad that our pages of hearty discussions and jovial philanderings are just getting longer and longer and longer, in between any discernable VCS information from Team Summer, digressing to the point of pictures with stonehenge, snoopy, sea dwellers and mullets.  You almost get fed up saying the same shit over and over.  Rinse and repeat.  All over the beloved and mega tainted 'Atari' name.  Even more sad. 🖕

 

Thank f#&k we have AA to feed us with real and actual goodness! 👌

Well it's September 23rd. Wonder if those in the supporters group finished their science class they said all the doubters should take about the equinox?

 

What lame BS, goal post moving, heavily in denial excuse will they make this time?

 

Atari better do them and the other backers a solid and give some type of update. Even if its a, "Sorry we don't have any games right now and we are behind." Or you know follow through on your promise and make some game announcements. 

 

Looks like the boys are still trying to do themselves some learnin'. 🙄

 

[Easter Eggs]

How are Easter Eggs usually found?  By someone just smashing the game to the point were they stumble upon it, or by looking into the code itself?  I personally don't know.

The answer could help decide on your path.

spoiler alert- that's me in 1988-ish, lol.

 

Looked past the mullet dd .. and went straight for the TV.  What a bloody beauty!

 

Also, I just realized how lame my Chesnais "Mullet fish" Mullet was.  I'll just sit in the corner for a while  🙄😏

Count Wyatt.  Off to find more victims to drain huh!  However unlike other Vampires, Tacos and Cool-Aid are his Kryptonite, not Garlic and Holy Water.

Commando - Game 1 B/B

3,400 - 3 medals

Played on: Original 'Vader' (Batari S-Video mod) / cx40. PAL cart (HES).

 

Didn't put a lot of time in this one.  Hopefully try again before work tomorrow, just b4 the cut-off.  I don't mind this port.  Actually fun trying not to shoot at all.  Nice idea Vocelli. 👍

You have to zoom in to read the whole thing. I really don't think "we" (dorks with opinions on AtariAge) are the bad guys here. 

 

 

Emperor Karl appears to have contracted Sheev Palpatine Syndrome.  Pick on the innocent much Karl?  

 

 

 

Don't give up JP.  If you wish hard enough ....it might just come true.

 

 

 

Oh shit John.  Wrong wish mate.  That was the .... "Death Wish".

Sounds like this AtariVCS debacle is going to put them under unless it sells impressive numbers in post-crowdfunded world. 

 

Well.  They don't sound too confident in that write-up.  One license accounting for just over half of their revenue?  Dependency = Alert Alert!

 I love how their board is granting themselves authority to trade in the company's own shares, to reduce share capital, increase the number of shares at will, and issue shares for in kind work. I'm no expert, but that sure smacks of them giving themselves authority to effectively manipulate the stock value at will and use it like Monopoly money. I wonder if they actually have any significant stock holders that would even attend the meeting, vote, and/or understand what they were voting on. It sounds like just a few guys going through the motions to comply with the law with little or no real participation by the majority of their shareholders. I'm not even sure how their shareholders are much of a factor except the speculate in their stock and take a bath every time they manipulate the shares and resulting value. Sounds very hinky, and further suspect of them trying to establish a clean exit.  

 

Yup.  Definitely smells of month old cool-aid.  The whole agenda appears to revolve around giving the board the powers needed to fiddle with their stocks and try and make some spondoolies to keep the company afloat or at least move towards a net gain.
