  1. Atari's official FB has an interesting entry today.

  2. Twitter is for when you have something important/interesting to say. However, this is not one of those posts. #uselesshashtag

  5. I priced 14 Dreamcast 2D shooters - all much too expensive: from $40 to over $100. o_O

  9. Stopped by my local used game store on lunch and picked up a few 2600 commons that I did not have. Also picked up two mystery carts, one Parker Bros and one M-Network. Taking bets on what they will be.

  10. Okay, I've learned my lesson about buying SCART cables from *ahem* 'discount' sources. Now that I've finally got a good one, it's like I'm seeing my Genesis games for the first time. A couple times today I've had to stop and assure myself that I was on the real thing instead of the genesis pack for ps3.

      I've had great luck with http://www.consolegoods.co.uk for scart cables

       

  11. PRGE 2013 was amazing! What a great show. Definitely the best Retro Gaming con I've been to in many years. Portland is a beautiful city and I had a wonderful time.

      I think they have surpassed CGE on many fronts. The panels are still a tad weak, and the CGE museum is still unmatched, but PGRE is major league.

  12. Woah! Never realised just HOW slow Vista was. Have it running on my machine at the moment and you can really see the difference.

      they never truly optimized the NSA backdoors

  13. Fisher-Price really needs to bring back Construx building toys (remember those?). I'd like to get a few sets for my nephew, but the vintage sets from the 80s are selling for crazy money on eBay.

  15. The one good thing the Atari Jaguar did: It made Midwest Gaming Classic.

      they should move the show to miller park

  16. If I made one improvement to AtariAge today, what would you like it to be?

      Would it be possible to change the marketplace from a subforum to a full blown store? Maybe integrate the marketplace into the AA store?

  17. Thank you Florida, Kentucky, and Missouri, which are the first states that will require drug testing when applying for welfare. Some people are crying and calling this unconstitutional. How is this unconstitutional???? It's OK to drug test people who work for their money, but not for those who don't?… Re-post this if you'd like to see this done in all 50 states!!!

    1. chrisbid

      only if they applied the same test to bankers and corporations that receive bailouts and excessive tax breaks

  21. Still pissed at Texas and their colossal meltdowns.

      i am a huge cardinals hater, but that game was awesome. texas fans should look back to 1975... the image of carlton fisk waving the ball fair is indelible, but the cincinnati reds won game 7.
