      I'm back home from work after a long day....So..ATM just hearing the Air Conditioning, and the dryer cuz I'm also doing laundry.  I had to deal with spiderwebs and dead millers in my lamp on the sunporch, and take out the trash umm NM...About to take a shower and drink a beer so I will soon hear a CD Comp of my own devising...Lots of good, random stuff there, prolly some metal, some Lord of the Rings soundtrack, some dark ambience, Star Wars, some classics (likely 80's)...Maybe some TV theme songs, or cartoon intros, Prog rock, maybe some punk, or jazz, noise, or perhaps a type of music I call driftworks (Oh wait,   I don't know how to describe that one (Cavernous soundscapes, I guess) and video game music or anime soundtrack stuff as well...Plus stuff other people play on records...I mean I'll pick it at random from 100s of choices so I don't know exactly what it'll be yet.

  7. Looks like something that really make the 7800 last very much longer as retro-console... And looks just like you’ve put some hundred hours into this! And... Awesome art! Just love that dragonfly! — Have you looked into approximate prices yet, or too early?
  8. Aaarrghh ! That final puzzle drives me nuts!! Anyone who knows if pieces are random from gaming session to gaming session, or whether they always start at the same pattern?

    What happens?

     

  15. Thats probably very spot on: It’s from an early source-file. - Still happy to have it. - If had the money or the time, or contacts, I’d produce 20 x of the ‘You are Scraps the Dog’-version to sell beside 7800 consoles on ebay, or have a Special Editions in my shelf for any future Atari-enthusiast. 😄😊😁 🐶
  16. Anyone who knows what Quarter 3 practically means for Lynx releases for the EverCade...

      OK,  I just found an article from a week ago that says, " Both Atari Lynx collections will be released on November 6 from Amazon and other online retailers."  So it appears they're running a bit behind schedule which is nothing new these days.

      Retro handheld Evercade has a pair of new offerings ready for pre-order, as the Atari Lynx’ library begins arriving on the console.

      The Lynx returns

      Remember the Lynx? You might, if you’re of a certain age, as the handheld from Atari was a pretty impressive little device back in the early 90s. Hosting titles like Battlezone 2000, California Games, Dracula and others, it actually managed to accrue a decent library too (and even a console revision) before it fell to the technologically-inferior GameBoy.

      Now the system is making a return, as two sets of games for the Evercade. A new retro-themed handheld that’s just seen release, Evercade delivers its games in the form of cartridge-stored collections.

      It’s already gotten quite a few, but the Lynx Collections should be something to see. Some of these games haven’t seen the light of day in quite a while for any console, let alone another portable.

      8. Checkered Flag

      Both collected editions are set to be released on November 6th, and Evercade says that they are expected to be limited in availability. So if you want ’em, you might want to pre-order ’em. Fortunately, that’s something that you can do by clicking here.

  17. Any fans of digital musician David Whittaker..?

      Oh my ... am I alone, all in darkness - as to Whitakkers’ Beyond The Ice Palace’...??

       

      Is it only me, or is this a very strong fantasy/action soundtrack (composition and use of actual hardware)...?

  18. If you picked up a readable Radiosignal, from Deep Space, or from The Air - ,  would you think its origin to be coincidental ... or... otherwise...

      He didn’t get the coordinates for the right planet, but instead, some really mindblowingly yummy pizza... (and guess what an animal from

      outer space goes for; the pizza smell or ... the prospect of being frozen down 1 more billion years (before getting up and changing the direction of the Craft!) ...?

       

      Pizza at your place...

       

      ...or

      This is too funny (for something you couldn't have known), because my phone number is one digit off from being 63-PIZZA (a pizza place telephone number that happens to be up the hill from me)...

  19. (... at least , Atari, could’ve tried to envision what a really cartoony-looking fella should’ve looked liked, if not the dog itself...)
  20. Atari can keep on making money, by simply making it easy to get atari-console-game-titles at App-prices... — my view, fair ‘nough...
  21. Throw it in the trash-bin and reload its software on emu... Since emu is making it ‘everlasting’... - - - Ever... c...??? - - - Do I see a grin back there...?
  22. do I see a (greenish)grin... ? ... somewhere far back there, or just... a smile of catching the fish, not knowing if its ever eatable?
