I'm only now realizing that I started the LadyLady 7800 demo over 2 years ago... doesn't feel like it's been that long at all. I hope that I can finish it this year then.

Yeah! I have a couple screens completed past the title screen. I have a thread where I post updates: https://atariage.com/forums/topic/302017-ladylady-graphics-demo/

Got 3 Genesis games for 20 bucks today

Anyone have some advice on buying a 5200? I.e. best place to get one, some things to consider controller-wise etc.

Look heavily for some kind of adapter to use as a replacement for the original controller. You will not have a good time with the console with that original controller....even if it works. The Wico stuff is expensive and overrated. When I received my 5200 the person I purchased it from made and included an adapter that has the dial pad and accepts a normal Genesis controller (with both buttons mapped to it). This console is REALLY enjoyable with a proper controller.

Slowly becoming more interested in the Atari 5200, this may prove to be a problem...

Made my first video game for a school project; You can play it here: https://peakreacher.itch.io/strikezone I'll be discussing the game at an expo the school is hosting. You can watch me talk about it at noon on twitch: www.twitch.tv/FPMCLUB Would love any feedback if you have the time. Cheers.

I now understand why so many people are upset about the crunch programmers are put under in the game industry. This stuff sucks.

What I remember about most of these long, difficult projects was how much I learned and grew through them. Not great situation if you have a family, but for a time in my life it wasn't a bad thing (as unpleasant as it seemed at the time). One project I was helping with for the last couple months tallied 7 divorces on the team by the end of it (thankfully not me).
On one particularly long, difficult project I remember driving home after 11pm every night, and I'd always turn on the BBC world news. Listening to the war stories and horrors of what was going on in some parts of Africa at the time put my extra couple hours working on a video game in perspective.

Just got an Odyssey 2 controller to try with my 2600, been trying to find a good joystick-style controller because I hate using the pro-line joysticks. Hope this one is good!

Slik stiks are pretty cool too...Just another thought, in your quest...or SEGA Genesis pads, Europads, NES Pads (Wired up to work). Or save up and see EdLaddin...https://edladdin.com/
He's on AtariAge and in the AA Store as well

@GoldLeader Funny you mention Genesis pads, as that's what I have been using primarily to play 2600 games, since I got my 7800 a few years ago and it's great as a replacement, if one wants to use a D-Pad. However, I've been dying to feel the nostalgia associated with using a good joystick, as many on here and other pages have vouched for it.

I'm starting to think Crystal Castles on the 2600 is my favorite 2600 game. Either that or Enduro.

Idk why I love the William Shatner VIC-20 commercials. Something about the style of early 80s ads is very captivating.

Just got a copy of Karateka on the 7800 today, and I have absolutely no idea how to play it lol. Does anyone know where I can find the manual for this one?

I played it on C-64 more than any other platform, I think it was the Spacebar to change stance since they used single button 2600 controllers...I had to use my toes to hit the space, as with a lot of other games....I learned how to play Raiders of Lost Ark using my feet to control the inventory joystick (looked like a f'n orangutan, but it worked)
