  1. Yeah , The Atari has gotten alot of attention lately, started when I found a few games I didnt have at a flea market then I got my joysticks rebuilt and then I found atariage now Xzvolux is on the way, may not get back around to the PS2 until Valentines day, I had forgotton how much fun the old machine was, graphics be damned! SMS
  2. Geez, I havent even turned my PS2 on in over two weeks, San Andreas is still sitting in the disc tray idle, Will Carl Johnson ever avenge his mothers death? We may never know I am too busy playing Super Breakout, What the @#%# has this website and that friggin 2600 done to me? Infernal machine spent years in my closet guess its just trying to make up for lost time. SMS
  3. Hello, I was looking at the info on bottom of my Vader unit and above the serial number it appears to say "MFG for Atari inc. by Kingtel Electronic Co. LTD." Am I reading this right? What is Kingtel? Is this the company that made all Atari systems? Anyhoo thanks for any info. SMS
  4. As a newcomer to the world of homebrews and hacks I have been reading backthreads trying to catch up on the atari scene and one constant I keep reading about is threats and copyright laws etc. Do you folks see the homebrews and hacks as on pretty stable ground right now? I was terribly excited when I found out about the homebrew scene and places that actually sell them in cartridge form, now I am bummed out after reading about Infogrames and their tactics, I hope to see the games keep coming for years and years (at least long enough for me to buy em all) Someone tell me I am all worked up over nothing! Anyhoo thanks for letting me rant. SMS
  5. Also could you fellas suggest which homebrew would be the best one to pick up first? I like shooter games so I ordered x3volux have any of you played it? but it is a hack of astro blast istead of a homebrew so if anyone could suggest a good homebrew for me I will be sure and pick one up. SMS
  6. I picked up three joysticks, a driving controller and eight games yesterday at a thrift store for ten bucks so I guess there are still a few around SMS
  7. Thanks for all the help, glad I found Atariage and my wife will be glad I have found a place to get rid of extra money I dont know how long my old machine will last but this will be its 22nd Christmas, no matter what system has been "hot" for all these years (PS2, Super NES, NES etc. my old Atari has always been hooked up right beside em and has outlasted most, It will be great to start getting new games again, then maybe I can give Kaboom a rest!! SMS
  8. Ok, I thought they were trying to kill homebrews in general, I have never played a homebrew or a hack but intend to start immediatly , already have my copy of x3volux enroute and looking over the homebrews to see which one I wanna buy first.
  9. Hi all, I am new to the forum but not new to Atari's (still playing the 2600 I got for xmas in '82) Someone tells me Infogrames is trying to kill the homebrew scene, is this true? Why would they wanna suck the life out of the best system ever created? Also the console I have is one of the all black models is this more or less desired than the woodgrain? Thanks for your time SMS
