[How long is Ze_ro still absent?]

We could start an election in form of a poll. Who wants to moderate the 2600 HSC?

Please let me know if you own an Atari 2600Jr from the 90ies..

 

The manual of my 1991-system says "6 1992" - any younger systems out there?

 

[How long is Ze_ro still absent?]

I think this question must be made slowly.

I (and probably many others) would appreciate a new HSC-season #10.

[5200 HSC Season 5 Round 6 Moon Patrol]

Hi - I don't own an Atari 5200 - but an Atari 600 XL with Moon Patrol! Is it possible to take part in this competition?

Yes. You can play for our Bonus Challenge (see 1st post above) where all other ports are being played for comparison.

 

The XL-version is the same game as the 5200-port of MP -only different controllers.

[Fielding teams for the 2012 Atari 2600 Summer Olympic games]

We could "warm up" with "Winter Games"! Interested?

[Fielding teams for the 2012 Atari 2600 Summer Olympic games]

Count me in! I own the PAL versions of Summer Games, California Games, Decathlon and Track & Field with controller. And we could play RS Volleyball and RS Basketball (proto)...

[HSC9 Round 1: DropZone]

Again we had a lot of fun, though Dropzone is not a game for beginners. And I had no true competition on site Otherwise I had probably more motivation to increase my new (personal) high score at Dropzone.

 

greetings,

twh!

 

...but I have beaten twh at Track & Field on the Atari 2600 this evening!

 

[Interview mit Atari Europa-Manager Jean Richen von 1995 (German)]

Sehr interessant.. (aus der Gamepro 11/95, war ein gutes Videogame-Magazin)

Ende 1995 hatte Atari noch große Pläne (Sega-Deal), und im Sommer 1996 war schon alles vorbei...

[Weird Atari 2600 games]

Fast Food, Megamania, and Journey Escape all come to mind, but the single weirdest game I've ever played on the VCS is probably Walker, aka Clown Down Town, aka Schussel, der Polizistenschreck. It has this incredibly dreary East German vibe to it -- it's kind of the "Worker and Parasite" of VCS sidescrolling character games. The backgrounds are beautiful, but the gameplay is as if someone read about video games in a poorly translated book, and tried to implement the idea as best they could. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErLYUdP1IEs

Yes, Clown Down Town is pretty weird - but I like it! "It has this Incredibly dreary East German vibe to it" - very interesting!

 

And don't forget Fire Spinner!

[This forum is ugly as hell since the sofware update to 3.2.!]

Every time AA is updated, the new look is shocking to me, but once I settle in, I like it.

 

For myself, I miss this effect with the update to 3.2.

...and now we have a "controverse discussion"

 

Please call me an "AtariAge forum martyr"

 

This forum needs more emotional discussions instead of "political correctness".
