Definitely a bootleg, not even a particularly nice design. I have one I bought at Target like ten years ago that’s mostly faded but still has the logo on it. Good official Atari merch is luckily easier than ever to find these days so fret not, there are better shirts out there.

Nolan Bushnell tried to start Atari Japan in the early 1970’s when Atari was not terribly well organized. It was another one of his boondoggles that was papered over by success elsewhere in the company. Atari Japan ended up being sold to Namco for less than a million dollars and they handled everything from there. I think it’s less that they were an American company and more so that Atari’s executives were too high to really follow through on a workable international business strategy.

And yet…

I’ve been playing the Danganronpa 1 and 2 ports. They’re pretty faithful, the performance isn’t great but it wasn’t any better on the Vita. Next up is Phoenix Wright. I’m tryin’ to work through my recommendations backlog

Since Apple will probably never make something like a Mac mini in the way we talk about it, the best I could ever hope for is to get a Jackintosh mini for myself. I’d personally find it a real hoot and go out of my way to get it if they included something like a faux (or real!) reproduction of the CRT monitor.

It’s a great way to become a martyr to copyright law but unless that’s your lifestyle it would be sort of a waste.

I don’t think graded games have much of a positive point right now when they only further turn this hobby into a commodity…

Genuinely happy the Lynx has people like you who love and support it despite its shortcomings. I am a big enough Atari fan to permanently etch their logo into my skin and even I don’t have a lot of enthusiasm for the machine but it’s still a deserving one to be played and enjoyed.

Useful information!

rip to a real one, hopefully future generations of Atari podcasters can come take the baton.

Given that the VCS is charitably treading water and the most success they’ve had lately has been with stuff like Atari 50 I would deduce that’s probably what we’re more likely to see in the future with maybe a mini console like the 400 here and there. Software is how Atari is gonna keep the lights on.

I have the 1040f. I taught myself some Atari Basic on my ST for fun using a code book I got with it, right now I’m separated from it by geography but I’m hopeful that can be reconciled this year and I can maybe start my lifelong notion of dabbling with homebrew. I can make the screen display some fun colors but I would love to make it do some more complicated tasks. IMG_1466.mov I’ve also got a lot of other games and random pieces of software that I play with as anyone else owning an ST would.

Fake news!

I find Klax to be a rather tedious puzzling experience and observe that it is the calling card of weak games libraries, when the best that can be said is complimenting ports since it came to everything and was basically the same everywhere.

Taboos against necroposting do not make sense to me I would much prefer threads dedicated to a topic get new posts rather than a string of the same OP over and over again.
