    Spending the Midwest winter and spring finishing and playing all Atari 2600, 7800, Lynx, and Jaguar games that can be obtained reasonably. Looking to merge proprietary characters and gameplay into a perfected archetype, and return Atari to it's right

    My boys and I are very excited to start our Youtube channel giving the Atari the enthusiasm it deserves.

  1. For the life of me, after multiple internet searches, a complete reading of the manual, I can't seem to get a definitive database of the scoring awards. From Bogus, to As Good As James (I think there is Better Than James), I have yet to see a list of all the possibilities. Help me out! Before I hit post, I will run through a couple of times... 0 points= You Need Diapers 33 pts= Totally Hopeless 50 pts= Most Lost 64= Way Loser 94= Loser 104= Bogus 132= Uncool 161= Cool 156= Foolin 180= Fresh 192= Fresh 207= Bitchen 261= Gnarly 285= Radical 302= Way Cool 340= Awesome 371= As Good As James 406= As Good As James 606= As Good As James I know there is a next level...
  2. I think that in the rule of 3s, it is time the homebrew community comes up with a natural progression for the Lynx (small, docile cat), to Jaguar (rarely seen, dangerous, powerful), and come up with the coup-de-grax.. Atari Lion. I am thinking something more powerful than the Jaguar (64bit my ass), but not disk-based. Cartirige-wise, I think Sega 32x or N64 are a good starting point. Imagine the Jag goes CD based, which its polygon bit system was designed to be the ground work for, actually just went full cartridge power. That's what I would want in the Atari Lion. The end all, be all, king-of-the-cartrige-prairie idea. No one ever really did it, cart-wise; everyone jumped on the data and memory crutch of the CD. But as I've collected, I think the Atari stalwarts, some more thoroughly explored than others, are every bit as brand/genre strong as NES or Sega. I know the homebrew community has explored this organically, like with the Bear from Crystal Castles. But imagine and Asteroids, Missile Command, Robotron, Pacman crossover? Metroid style. Or Zelda style? I am of the thinking, but not the capital, that a cartridge based system in 2022 would sell like hot cakes. Given all the unused Atari licenses, let alone codes and games never made out there? The Atari Lion. Wireless controllers that look like arcade controller, but optimized with all current tech; add on a shock value awesome game; think Pitfall Harry, thrusted to the future, he has to destroy the asteroids, then command the missile station, then collect fuel in corridors in a Tron-like vehicle shaped like Pacman, only to have it crash and defeat countless Atari only archetypes? You can do your puzzles on our phone, upload progress, etc... Just spitballing. Anyone else?
  3. Hey, I'm looking to create an emulator and collect rom files for Jaguar. Can anyone point me in the right direction. It has been awhile since I started a new console. Thanks for any links, and yes I have the actual copies of the games, so nothing nefarious here.
