Haha, not really. You occasionally get a colony of ants that will be interesting, but for the most part, it's just sand and ants...

Big critter Keeper myself, almost exclusively inverts-

I'd actually recommend a Beetle habitat, they can be quite interesting, and safe to interact with as well.

Also, most Beetles don't mind to live together, so you can have a nice variety-like almost everything else, there are "exotic" species, Blue Feigning Death beetles(they play dead), etc, and it can be a neat hobby.

For weird pet fun, tho, nothing beats a Tarantula...

If they play dead, how will you know when they die?

@atari2600land - Hehe, I used to get inverts from a Guy named Peter Clausen, he would do shows at elementary schools and stuff.

He could only use a set of feigning death beetles for a short while, they get used to people and stop playing dead after a while, kinda takes away the whole point...

Glad ya got it figured out bluejay!

I've removed the ability for people to select the Invision theme, so this shouldn't happen again.

Yeah, it's gone now.

Thanks.(I guess?)

It's probably broke and needs repair..

Duh.

To save space, and offer multiple signals (composite and RGB). Mini-DIN in the Genesis 2 is a little complicated to work with but the full size DIN on the Genesis 1 is common, though with different pinouts for most systems.

d are worse, not to mention the f

I think @Albert can answer that question factually, maybe I think.

Copyright isn't really the right kind of intellectual property for a site name. Rather, it would be a trademark or service mark. I just did quick query of the USPTO database and did not find an entry for AtariAge but I didn't spend a lot of time looking or poking around.

The usual culprit for me is volume. Play around with that. 

The VIC-20 was a machine that suffered from a ridiculous lack of RAM. You couldn't even make a new character set with 5K of RAM, which really was needed to get the most out of the machine, so most of the good games were cartridge based which took up anywhere from 4K to 16K of RAM.

Wish you'd bought that 400 now, don't you?

@adam242 In retrospect, not at all. I mean, I think I would have liked the 400 if I had got that, but I don't regret buying that VIC one bit.

As a matter of fact, I think it's my favorite computer I've ever owned. And that's impressive for a 40 year old computer with 5k of RAM and a 1mhz CPU.

And so does www.colecoage.com and www.intellivisionage.com...

www.vectrexage.com works too. 

www.odysseyage.com also works

X Man was pretty bad...Any baseball, tile, or pachinko games for Famicom or Super Famicom...Most 2D games turned 3D...Personally I'd take Pac Man over E.T. any day, but yeah it's not the worst...Maybe just the most famous of the worst...

I think it's a mix of expectations vs. reality, plus the coincidence of the timing. E.T. was HUGE when it came out, so the hype was extremely high, making the sub-par gameplay a much bigger disappointment. Couple that with the market in America going wonky right around that time too, and you get the pieces of a myth that grabs the imagination: "Behold, the game so bad it almost killed videogames!" Not true, but it makes a great story, so people kept telling it.

For a modern take, see No Man's Sky.

I mean, it is a pretty ingenious puzzle/scavenger hunt game, and the graphics are pretty good too. If it weren't for the inescapable pits and wonky collision detection, I think it would be praised more. I think the problem is, most 2600 fans were still just into shooters and dot eaters to really get into the adventure game style of it.

I bet if they made it a Maze/dot eater game and tied in the marketing with Reese's Pieces, it would have been a huge hit, despite the fact that it had nothing to do with the damn movie at all.

I happen to like that it's so big.  It's one of the things that makes using the 5200 an enjoyable tactile experience, beyond the experience provided by the games themselves.

Have you ever been in an American car from 1982? Same thing. 

The 5200 was DESIGNED to go up against the Intellivision, so they wanted it to look impressive!
