Article mentions a "broken release" of Raiders of the Lost Ark
Lost Monkey replied to Propane13's topic in Atari 2600
It is more likely that Bill cried to his parents that he couldn't finish the next part of the game and they brought it back to the store believing it to be faulty. Randy never existed. -
You might also consider that they would be oriented upside down compared to other 2600 cartridges with labels and flip the label.

Adventure - Dead Dragon (He was dead when I got there! I swear!)
Lost Monkey replied to Lost Monkey's topic in Atari 2600
I haven't looked at the code, but this is what I believed to be the case. The only thing different about this situation was that I was playing the cart that came with the 2600+ on an original junior. It was the first time I had used this cart with original hardware. -
I've been playing Adventure since about 1981. I have played it a lot. Tonight, something happened that I don't think I have seen before. I started the game - variation 3 - went down to the right of the maze in the White castle area and found the sword. The Green dragon came down from the room above and I killed him. At that point the bat swooped in and took the sword. I went to the White castle, found nothing and headed to the blue maze. When I got to the 2nd screen above the blue maze entrance the yellow dragon was sitting there dead. In other words, either the dragon had run himself into the bat with the sword or the bat had killed the dragon with the sword.... I think? I tried searching (for discussions) of this happening, but couldn't find anything - this certainly seems possible, but I would have thought there would be limitations on which offscreen objects had collision checking code.

Today I learned that FPGA's are a fad.

Mine just has 6 thin tabs holding it on. Looks like it would be pretty non-invasive. Especially the one I looked at, since it has had a really shitty paint job and Hello Kitty stickers all over it since about 1997.

For your latest response - check your controller connection at the port. I found that most of my old controllers do not work with mine, because the connection is just not snug enough. They have a lot of "play" and are not making contact.

Intellivision Amico’s trademark changed to ‘abandoned’
Lost Monkey replied to rietveld's topic in Modern Gaming Discussion
How were you able to figure out the physics? Don't you have to kind of throw the bag into a 3d space of some sort? Buttons? -
The last manufactured Atari Jaguar console…
Lost Monkey replied to Clint Thompson's topic in Atari Jaguar
M255006790 Would that be May? I think I got this one from Dentec. -
So.. origins of synth-wave or Achilles heel? One must be incorrect. I remember playing Combat with my dad back in 1982 and we were laughing and having fun blowing up each other's tanks, when suddenly he looked at me and with a completely serious demeanor said, "This game needs acid trance."

Gamecube was not underpowered, but otherwise 👍 -

Lost Monkey replied to JPF997's topic in Gaming General Discussion
The mindset that only *new* games should have a premium price tag is what has driven the video game market to where it is now. EA needs you to think that way, but Mario Odyssey is not Madden 17. -

What part of "currently viable" do you not understand? Go back to Google and look up Bleem! -

Lost Monkey replied to JPF997's topic in Gaming General Discussion
"Protect" a viable piece of hardware from becoming irrelevant due to being easily emulated by a group that is profiting from said emulation. Atari and Sega aren't shutting down emulators for the same reason they aren't shutting down bakeries - doing so would not protect their business interests. -

Lost Monkey replied to JPF997's topic in Gaming General Discussion
Complete fallacy. What would Atari or Sega have to protect at this point that compares to a current commercially viable product like the Switch? -
Is that a CD-R or a pressed disc?
