  1. My $0.02 is Atari needs to bring these concepts together in a comprehensive package. The VCS800 wasnt a bad idea but wrong price point, however it can run more modern games. Take the 2600+ and give it the ability to run the same store/games the VCS800 can (maybe to a lesser degree due to GPU) and I think you have a winner. SD slot is a must and it defines a "platform" from Atari with new and old games. Having the GameStation Pro and 2600+ and VCS with different UIs and overlap in games is a mess to me. Just my $0.02
  2. Dont some of the R77's have a problem with heat and Stella - Not sure if the latest models have what I believe was a memory issue and heat problem.
  3. 12300 Had a weird collision issue in the first city where being low on side of screen would blow up even though nothing was there so just stayed high to get through that 1 spot
  4. The end of my ST story ended when I couldnt get a good VT100 or such emulation through my modem. I needed this to work remotely when out of hour support was needed. The best program at the time was ProComm Plus on the PC so I had to jump ship and got a low end 486 or such at the time with a Trident SVGA card!
  5. I had a 1030 modem and a buddy of mine created an ingenious method to auto answer for my BBS. We took a joystick cable and connected the trigger wire to the transformer of a rotary "bell" phone. When someone called it generated enough of a charge to "trigger" the BBS software to answer All I had to sacrifice was a cable off a broken joystick and a phone we no longer used.
  6. free advice for anyone managing the firmware release - whenever one of the best VP of Product Mgmt I worked with was asked a similar question his answer was always: "Not soon enough" So - for everyone that wants to ask when it will be production you can self answer the question now.
  7. My ICD-Fast HD I had similar issue - turning it on no noise - repeated flicks of the switch would eventually jumpstart the motor to running.
  8. If want a challenge in the mean time, Brutal Doom Beta3 came out recently...........it is brutal!
  9. Id see the Maxi800 as a slightly enlarged 400mini. Cart slots are not functional so not a big change there, so just make model a bit bigger with a mini keyboard - creating a whole new 600XL design seems like it would be a more costly route IMHO.
  10. I would be interested if I could bring my existing HD image to run off the mini while providing me network and modern printer access to my ST. Id also like to somehow bring my Mac and IBM partitions to run Spectre and my 286 emu
  11. Did you anger the queen at some point before? Is your write protect switch off if you are using emulation?
  12. There was no editor but the program would generate a "new world" for you to conquer should you be tired of the Americas. Was a great game BITD
