  1. https://www.ebay.com/itm/16-32-64-128-256-512MB-1GB-2GB-SD-Secure-Digital-Standard-Memory-Card-NEW-F-MP3/192232397861?hash=item2cc1f19c25:m:mUXyKZwSAcxImwcmfB9oByw 16M is sold out but the 32M is only $2.39 and Free Shipping. Also these look the same as my 16M SD Card. I also think it's cool to have a 16M or 32M SD Card that is actually very useful!
  2. I can't believe no one recommended Aros ? Live Desktop DVD at http://vmwaros.blogspot.co.uk/p/download.html Application archive at http://archives.aros-exec.org/ I run Icaros Desktop in a VM built from the Live Desktop DVD.iso. It works great. It comes with lots of native apps including a fully functional WinUAE for 68k Amiga based programs.
  3. I just can't believe people are dumb of to spend $70 on card board. Gee just use all the boxes from deliveries and build Labo for only the price of your time.
  4. Nope just Windows 7 full format. Note mine is a very old from the 1990's ...16MB SD Card (not a modern 16GB which is 1024X larger). AtGames says use a 8GB or less. A 16GB SD Card is almost guaranteed NOT to work.
  5. I use a 16M SD card I got decades ago from an old digital camera. I would recommend if you can find an old small SD card as they are much more likely to work.
  6. I think Cosmi is still in business... just not doing games. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmi_Corporation ; https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapid=4610993 Anyway they did Forbidden Forest for Windows back in 2003. See http://www.mobygames.com/game/forbidden-forest_
  7. And a very nice spoof using seuck (Shoot 'Em Up Construction Kit)
  8. Oh wow. Neo Geo with Metal Slug /2/X ? I would buy that. Hmm I don't see a Neo Geo retro console in the under $80 range that you mentioned is what Atgames requires ?
  9. The review is pretty cool. I'm just very glad to see a quality, new retro console actually shipped! I have 2 C64s / 2 1541 DD in the game room and also a C64DTV in the living room, so I will not be getting this one. Regardless this is pretty cool product but needs to have a smoother way to load many different games from USB. Also it would have been nice to have 3 USB ports as I'm sure the virtual keyboard would be agonizing. The video/audio delay is expected but seems pretty minimal so hopefully only hard core enthisests would even notice. The board review was great. A20 running linux with board pins for SD card and serial/JTAG will make this baby a retro gamer toy as hardware mods are likely being worked on now. I would like to buy the full sized North American version with a functional keyboard if that version ever ships! 2 USB ports would be fine for this model. I'm also assuming the USB game load would be a smooth process by the time full version ships. And finally my brother is interested in getting one of these when the North American version is out. He's not much of gamer but did ask about getting a modern console for the living room to play the c64 games he remembers.
  10. Wow that must have taken many hours. I never really got into text adventures on C64 unless they had really cool graphics like Amazon and Treasure Island (both from Windham Classics). I was never able to finish either. Anyway I played a bunch of text games on the Vic-20. My favorite was Voodoo castle and was able to finish it!
  11. I remember Blue Max being very hard but about all I remember was cool it was to bomb the bridge and see a car run into the mushroom bomb. I'll have to try and play it now .. probably been about 25 years since I last played Blue Max. Yea I also remember the Ms PacMan pretzel level. I never got past the pretzel no matter many hours I played.
  12. What is you greatest C64 gaming moment? I just had mine! I finally finished Impossible Mission on C64 It took about 35 years but I finally finished Impossible Mission! Woohoo! Full disclose I had to cheat with unlimited time because I never had enough time to solve the puzzles.
  13. The newer Rokus due also. And even the ancient Roku can be voice activated via Roku smartphone app.
  14. Hopefully some cheap 3DS games soon .. when Toy r Us actually starts discounting as now sales are lame .. 5% off Toy r us retail (10-15% higher than everywhere else).
  15. I never understood the love of the Intellivision controllers. I found them difficult and awkward to use. They also seemed dated (ie from 60/70's sci fi) for the '80's.
  16. Which is exactly why the 7800 was a commercial failure.
  17. My 7 year old son's favorite game is Ghostbusters. It was a bit difficult for him at first but he learned to catch ghosts. He likes me to finish the game when the Marshmallow man shows up. We play it on my C64 and also on his tablet using VICE. Looks like there is an Atari XL/XE version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph87Lftez5w Frogger , Frogger II , Qbert, Pac-Man, Donky Kong, Park Patrol and Dig Dug have very little violence and my son likes to play them. He has a pretty new 2DS XL but still likes to play above games... When he gets frustrated with a 3DS game playing on his own he says "I want play the simple games now."
  18. That's great... sarcastically or real it is hilarious either way. Now if I can just get my wife to spank me while I simultaneously lick a switch cartridge... oh yea that will do it!
  19. So this just confirms it's an Ouya / Steam Machine for 3 times the cost and well a nice lit up Fuji Atari logo... yawn.
  20. But you know the slimeball personally and all the details when it started which is far more than any of us. The fact you "switched" from Atari fanboy working on promoting Ataribox to "wait and see" says all I need to know ...it's a scam. Though I credit you for taking the shots. I know I could never do what you do. BTW I was hoping before the announcement (delay), it would ship and after the big financial failure I'd happily buy one at the $50 clearance price. Now I'm pretty sure it will not even ship.
  21. Na that sounds like too much work. More like a battery pack , a few resistors and LEDs connected. All that was presented were LED lights. My 7 year old son put together more complicated projects in under ten minutes.
  22. Me too! I got mine at sams club: https://www.samsclub.com/sams/usb-type-c-cable-2pk-fall-2017/prod21392917.ip Likely same Chinese manufacturer. I bet they are cranking out millions of these C-type USB cables worldwide as they are fairly new but come with all the new electronics.
  23. Agreed the limited details we have seem like utter bullshit or completely clueless PMs / spokesman. Again I'm 90% chance of this being complete bullshit and only 10% the Atari spokesman is dumber than a common grapefruit. Sorry for repeating myself about the 90% bullshit as I'm getting worried when I see our Atari SA fanboys liking my posts .. Argh!
