  1. I used to prepare for "the Atari end times", with multiple spare computers, extra motherboards, boxes of parts, and the like. But I got rid of most of that, and I will probably get it down to just a nice set of XL-era stuff at some point.

     

    If what I have lasts another 10 years, I'll be thrilled. If not, well, there's always emulation. I could sell off my huge CIB A8 software collection and free up some space, then.

    You should always use the support email, support [at] opcodegames dot com.

    Grazi sent mail address confirmation requests a couple of weeks ago. If you replied to that you are all set.

     

    I did use the support email address, and all I got was an automated reply. This was back on November 13.

     

    I had asked that you send emails about the pre-orders to my current email address, since I don't check that old address very often any longer. Yet, when Grazi sent out the confirmation, she sent it to the old address. So I didn't see it until nearly a week later. Hopefully you got my reply in time. I never got any acknowledgement, so I can only hope.

    No, sorry, he's shipped me more SGMs and games that I will be using to fulfill orders that were placed in the AtariAge Store. Those packages will be arriving Friday, allowing me to ship another batch of orders on Saturday. The good majority of orders have already been shipped. I don't know how many items Opcode will be shipping directly, but you could write them and ask about the status of your purchase.

    Unfortunately I've written to them many times but haven't gotten a response. I wrote to them months ago trying to update the email address associated with this preorder; no response. I wrote to them relatively recently trying to do that again; no response. I wrote to them about this preorder; no response.

     

    I'm left just hoping.


  4. If we'd had those, I'd probably have stayed with tape longer. Waiting for that 410 to load the program was agonizing.

     

    Although the worst was when the program you'd CSAVEd couldn't be CLOADed! Since this turbo loader increased reliability as well as speed, it's something I would have loved to have back in 1982.

    I don't know if there were many Atari fans who stuck with Atari into the 1990s. I mean, I know there were some to be sure, but it would have been too tempting to abandon ship long before the release of the Jaguar. Certainly the dire sales numbers don't bare out very many fans of previous Atari systems coming through with Jaguar purchases.

     

    There are probably more fans of these classic systems now than there were in the 1990s.
