Hi. Is the 1064 still available? Kind regards, Luis

As a fan of Sinclair products too, I am sad to read that Uncle Clive has passed away...Rest in peace. Kind regards, Luis PS: I recommend to take a look at Micro Men TV film as a tribute to the inventor.

Si señor, it holds the cartridge in its place inside the box. Kind regards, Luis.

Hi I recently got my eyes on this interesting ebay item: https://www.ebay.com/itm/294157875908 It looks it's an old Atari 800 Multi Cart made in the UK.

Hi bfollowell Yes, I had the same problem and fixed it by cutting the problematic part of the cable with scissors, and then using an exacto knife to carefully expose the metal part of the cable. This worked OK for me. Keep in mind that if you need to dettach/attach the cable very often, the problem may happen again. Kind regards, Luis

Hi I bought an Atari Paint disk from their eBay store on march 5. Kind regards, Luis.

Hi team Long, long time ago I got my hands on this copied cassette that had Blue Max on it, no other games were available on that cassette. I pressume this was a C-46 (not C-64 mind you! ?) cassette. I rememeber that this was a special version of Blue Max modified to run on XL computers. While loading, it showed a LOADING... message on screen (I think it was displayed using graphics mode 2), and just before ending side A, it showed another message saying to flip over the cassette and press PLAY to continue loading. It continued loading the game on side B for a long time, until the game finally started. I was used to load games from cassette, and I had an idea of how long should it take for a game to load. None of the games on cassette I had at the time took both sides to load, and this Blue Max version had by far the longest loading time of all the games I had on cassette. I never saw that cassette again, this was lent to me and had to return it to the original owner. I recently started thinking on why it took so long to load, and there's only one reason I can think of: The first part of the cassette had a copy of the OS-B operating system, and after loading it in RAM, Blue Max was loaded on top of it. Do you know any other games distributed on cassette that took both sides to load? Do you know any utilities that made a copy of OS-B on cassette in order to be able to load OS-B specific games on XL computers? This would be the cassette equivalent of The Translator... Regards, Luis

Hi The 1400XL is featured on the cover of the book "Atari Graphics and Arcade Game Design": I always wondered why did they use that particular model, instead of the more popular 400 or 800... Kind regards, Luis.

What game is that? Regards, Luis.

Sorry, but...what is RageQuit? Regards, Luis.
