  1. I can poke fun at Atari SA, but too many jokes have been made about their supporters. Anyone can be fooled, even you or me. And no one has any reason to believe a person they've never heard of, especially on the Internet.
  2. It's Friday the 13th! Time for ghosts, gobblins, & spoooooky things! OOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO! ;)

      Not only that, there's a full moon tonight!

      A harvest moon; shine on folks!

      Oooh… very scary... :ponder:

  3. That'll only work if they can convince a significant number of developers to drop online requirements. It's pointless to buy a disk then spend hours downloading. :/
  4. Given the date I fell like I should say something, I'm just not sure what... :(

      It was a sad day for the U.S.  I was in downtown NYC that day.  G-d help us all.

      many nations took a hit that day WTC was filled with folks from around the world...

      what you say is entirely personal.

      sounds to me like you feel the feels and don't know what to do with it, and that's natural.

      Just let people know you feel for them and can't express in words what that means...

  5. Judging from DuckDuckGo & StartPage, Badmovies.org is no longer a top result for the keyword "bad movies"

      I wonder if either of the major movie companies are buying SEO on that keyword?

      That site really needs a new chief administrator or something.  No updates in several years.

      I agree with Retro Russell, BadMovies.org hasn't been updated in years. Therefore, I lost interest. I admit to liking Kooshmeister's cartoon reviews on their forum.

  6. I wonder if some sort of electro-mechanical game might've been possible...
  7. You must walk before you can run, & you must crawl before you can walk. Something tells me starting with structured or object-oriented programming is asking too much. So here's links to free BASIC & Logo variants. https://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/basic.shtml https://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/logo.shtml And if you want to be mean: https://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/cobol.shtml
  8. Does this thread count as trolling? I thought you had to send posts to the folks you're trying to annoy. I am afraid this whole debacle could create a rift between casual Atari fans & hardcore Atari fans, which could hurt this community's growth. But that doesn't make this thread trolling; it's only trolling if the main objective is to get a response which we can make fun of.
  9. I think the RCA, Polaroid, & MGM, logos are probably more iconic. And more likely to be on a new, good product.
  10. They created the illusion that they were the Atari of old.
  11. I'd say Taco John's trademark is fine, if they coined the phrase. As such, this passage from the article Flojo linked to is important: And this:
  12. Goodbye DracIsBack. :(

  13. I'll say this again: If I were to make a rubric, detailing what made a good Atari game, E.T. would probably get high marks in every category. Problem is it's frustrating; a lot of subtle flaws you wouldn't think about hold it down. I've had fun with it, but it's not my favorite.
  14. I made a little Pokemon tribute section for my website: https://websitering.neocities.org/pkmn/menu.htm

  15. But it'll make a big stink when it happens!
  16. It's not armature; they were paid to do this. O_o
  17. What do you do with a drunken sailor? What do you do with a drunken sailor? What do you do with a drunken sailor, early in the morning? Sell him a box branded Atari. Sell him a box branded Atari. Sell him a box branded Atari. Or just go get Tacos!
  18. This line made me laugh: "In the new Call Of Duty, you’re forced to fight Middle Eastern rebels. Why couldn’t they just be tomatoes instead?"
  19. Happens with every new industry. Some people see money, so they enter a market to make a quick buck. Then the market bites them. Too many quick-buck-makers, & the market bites everyone else too. That gets me thinking. I wonder if Leisure Time had a Pac-Man clone...
  20. I prefer Friends Lists to Followers Lists; Friends seems humanizing; Followers makes me think of mindless zombies. (Classic hypnosis-zombies, not Romero-style ghouls.)

  21. I'm interested in the Winderswan, but I've never even seen one in real life.
  22. This is different... This is more like someone bought Mcgregor's old land, & someone who hasn't been in town a long time comes back & thinks Mcgregor still owns it. There's little harm if the new owner produces the same quality produce, but if they're just talking about how great their farm is while producing nothing, then we have a problem. But only for a little while; eventually word will get out that new owners have taken over & that the farm's crops aren't any good anymore.
