A night of Jumping at Shadows:
MathMoth Line on the Jag - you can call me: ShadowMaster -
So I couldn't pass up a NIB "Blue Heat" for the PC. I'm in for a treat, right guys? Right?

14MB (replacement) and 286 upgrade incoming for the Falcon030 and I'm done! Excited to finally have my dream machine completed.

SKYLAR MUST LIVE!

It's hard to beat the excitement that comes with programming a 24-hour clock that also affects date for a Jaguar game.

Merry Christmas, Everyone! Today will be 30-years exactly with the incredible Atari Jaguar and it's been such a wild ride! Tons of cool things coming in 2024! Thanks to my Mom for getting me such a kick-ass gaming system!

Give me one of your best 'one liners' to be used for a Jag game before preparing for battle, losing and winning....

Ok, here's a fun one. While playing Bubsy for what must be over a thousand times by now and have the current speedrun record well you get to where you rank and spoof the game. I mean in any game you barrel past the frustrations of the learning curve you have to. Oh, and the Jaguar controller is quite tough. It got thrown down a LOT when I was mastering this game.
When I was learning the Alice and Wonderland levels I was playing with kids of a friend of mine, who used to laugh when Bubsy would knock on the screen if you had him waiting. Wonderful times. And when we went through a warp gate we would make race car noises and then breaking noises when we emerged out of the other gate.
Years later (playing on my own by this point) For the "Giant" with Jack in the Beanstalk levels, the hit area on the giant is kinda interesting. The only place I consistently found that you would not tend to die was landing just forward of the pilot of the Giant mech. And .. (I'm laughing as I say this) for years I would say "suck my d*... suck my d*..." and it seemed to work. There were many other times I would simply try landing there and without saying the quote and I would die. (I no longer need this chant BTW)
Water levels "What do I look like? Flipper" became "What do I look like? A Stripper?"
And the final world "Nothing Can Stop Us now!" was often met with "EVERYTHING!" or "BULLSH*T!" Always thought this saying was the Fractured Furry Tales version of "What could possibly go wrong?"
When you finish the game, collect your kiss from the Witch on the way out.
Well the game calls her Mother Goose, but the in code notes has her as the Witch of the Hansel and Gretel story. Either way she's kinda a hottie.

I'll be in the FujiNet Basement for 5-card while I work on Jag stuff tonight if anyone wants to play...
-
Realize I'm a little late to the FujiNet game but considering we're talking about using A8 devices in 2023 anyways, would have expected a minimal turnout for on-line gameplay. Ghost town...

@doctorclu 5-card stud... let me know when/if you feel like playing a few dozen hands

@bent_pinyeah I’ve created a thread and followed up two weeks in a row. Net result: Zero. I suppose maybe a monthly planned date well in advance might work. I’ll give that a shot.

Netflix: Creeped Out (series) - A Boy Called Red; Sports the Atari 2600, although the game play isn't correct, still a decent watch and is mostly based around the 2600 and the son connecting with his father through Atari lol

Don't forget to back your data up! It's 2022, the year of anything could happen.

Oh, I'll just jump into JagStudio for an hour or two to make a few little changes...

@SlidellMan it turned out to be a good thing... it gets dangerous and sucks my time up though

I just bought an ultrasound printer. Surely this is (ab)normal behavior but there are reasons and it's most definitely not for ultrasounds. Though I suppose I could setup shop for that too now lol.

@Draxxon It's to print faux B&W Polaroid pictures incredibly cheap using QuickTake cameras and other analog devices like this: (idea credit goes to LambdaCalculus7) comes out to like 5 cents a print and overall just something goofy to fool around with...

Looks like someone bought the boxed Atari Falcon on eBay for $3k last night. Unreal! And no, it wasn't me.

Incredible. With it being boxed and clean, sounds like a nice little unit.
The computer was disassembled. The case, keyboard, faceplate, and mouse plastic parts have been washed and cleaned.The logic board was brushed down and blown to remove all dirt and dust. All socketed IC's were reseated.The floppy drive was thoroughly cleaned, the heads were cleaned, and the travel rails were light lubricated.The PSU was thoroughly cleaned, tested, and working within specs. The RF Shielding was cleaned. The Atarimouse was thoroughly cleaned. The computer case is not yellowed and looks very close to original with veryfew nicks and marks.This is upgraded working Atari Falcon030 Computer. It comes in its original serial number matching box. The
serial number is low at #581. The computer has been upgraded with many items.
Upgrades:
Socketed coin battery replaceable real time clock & nvram chip
14Mb ram upgrade with 16Mb SIMM stick
Co-Processor floating point CPU installed
TOS 4.04 installed a fast PLCC giving a little speed boost
CF/ICE card hard drive (Original drive completely dead. Sealant leaked on platter and heads)
New fan with pin header added.

The floppy drive is working normally and the heads were cleaned, and travel rail lightly lubricated. The drive

Where does one acquire a brand new portable acoustic coupler in this day of age?

Not new, but made by the same people who brought you BurgerTime: https://www.ebay.com/itm/393168059307
I used to have two or three from the late '90s / early 2000s, and am entrenched in end-of-year housecleaning. If I run across them, do you want one?
-
@x=usr(1536) that would be great, if you do please let me know. Thanks!

I liked Omikron better as a video game.

Well, back in the 80ies we had Delta Force…
Perhaps we could persuade Chuck Norris to star in an all-out anti-Covid action/___ … hmm … action/action … movie, where he combats gigantic Omicron-viruses… with tons and tons and tons of guns & explosions…?
The Omicron-Covids just got infiltrated by the Chuck-Syndrome and got to experience being individually inserted with self-detonating codes… and

Have you seen this one? https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1037

I don't know who needs to see this but Xenon Pinball Voice Synthesis!

There's something soulfully charming about the luminescent glow from a retro hardware display.

Crazy to see external CD-R prices of 1996 being $1,295 and realizing the media is officially considered extinct amongst the clould-streaming world.

Is playing an Atari Jaguar controlled with an Atari Lynx that controls a Commodore 64 on an in-game CRT on your actual CRT the ultimate wormhole to break reality?
Well the game calls her Mother Goose, but the in code notes has her as the Witch of the Hansel and Gretel story. Either way she's kinda a hottie.
