Hi, I'm in quite a pickle. I can't decide on which ZX Spectrum emulator for desktop is better? Hence why I created a poll to hopefully help myself decide. This is happening because I discover another emulator called Retro Virtual Machine and it seems comparable to ZEsarUX. So, now what? Bonus question: which emulator do you recommend for Android and/or Chromebook? I kinda heard iPads are outta the question due to Apple being Apple. -
If Atari gets a new system in 2026 or later to follow the VCS 800, would you rather then do the VCS with new numbers or go back to the cat naming system? 🐱

Jaguar was not included in the Atari homebrew awards for 2021 (something I hope gets fixed in 2022) but I thought it would be fun to poll y’all on your favorite new Jaguar games released in 2021. I left out Abyss as it is still not final. I think I got everything that was released, but please let me know if I missed one! Hopefully I am allowed to add poll options if I did. EDIT: people asked for polls in specific categories, and here they are!

Concerning the Atari 5200...
-
Hey gang! I decided to make a poll about the "Blue Bomber". Out of all the original series Mega Man games released in nearly a quarter century span from the first in 1987 to the tenth in 2010. Which of the ten games is your favorite. Mine is a tossup between 2 and 3. But have to give the slight edge to the second installment. The music is superb, debut of passwords and energy tanks, two levels of difficulty (normal and difficult), difficult is still relatively not too hard, and some of the most innovative robot masters. 3 has some of the great features like the second and can do multiple things like jumping high (especially when falling into a hole), freezing enemies, and slow motion using controller 2. The debut of your canine companion Rush was a great feature. Help you navigate over pits, reach high places, and navigate underwater. And also his brother Protoman makes his debut. The negative though is Dr. Wily's Skull Castle was not much of a challenge and was too easy and short in my honest opinion. My vote goes for number 2 with 3 being a very very close second. Which is your favorite one in the series? -
Its known that not long before Atari Inc. was split in two during the height of the video game crash, they were developing an adapter that would allow the 5200 to play 7800 games. It was shown 1 or 2 times in official catalogs, then never heard from again after the corporate split in which Warner sold the console and computer divisions of Atari to Jack Tramiel. Overall, do you think that Atari had it going, or should they either have scrapped it at an early stage or should they have instead made a Supersystem adapter that allowed the 7800 to play 5200 software on the 7800? Also, what happened to the engineers responsible for the designing of the adapter after the splitting of Atari Inc?

So guys. Halloween is about a week away. And Castlevania comes to my mind as one of the most played games for me during that time of the year. Which one in the series is your favorite? For me it comes to a very tough choice between Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse and Super Castlevania 4. I have to go with the third version. It is my second favorite NES game of all time behind The Legend of Zelda. Graphically it was very impressive and for the later period of the 8 bit era, the music is simply stunning and has one of the best soundtracks to come for the system; well the whole series is known for some of the most memorable soundtracks. You can have Grant, Sypha, and Alucard help you out on your quest to hunt down Dracula. A first in the series is choosing your path to get to Dracula's Castle instead of a default selected path. And lastly the controls are executed perfectly and put a big spike in improvement from the first game and gives you a great challenge. It was a tossup for 3 and 4 as they are both A+ games along with Symphony of the Night. I am biased as the NES is my favorite system of all time. It is Dracula's Curse for me.

Had some partial kernel code for several years for a puzzle games inspired by a rather popular casual game. I had worked out most of the general rules and kernel rendering but that's it so far. Recently crafted an animated gif to roughly demonstrate.

The Atari 2600 has a huge library and many a really good. But there are some games who did not use the full potential by far and wasted a good game idea. Name your top 3 (or less) of existing Atari 2600 games who deserve a remake most. Mine: Miner 2049er (both!) Zaxxon BTW: I got the idea from the Videogamecritic when he complained about Miner 2049er's speed.

Hi, Well with AtariVox+ support on hold, I am interested in knowing how you would like me to proceed. There are 2 types of game types I would like to use for my game. Read the descriptions below and vote on the poll on your favorite. The winner will be considered as a possibility for the game's new type. Strategy: In this genre type, you control the president via the keypad controller. You enter commands via the keypad buttons in the order you would like to execute them. After entering the desired commands you press another button and the commands are run in the order they are entered until they are all executed. Your goal is the reach the goal in the least amount of commands. You will be able to hear speech and save your high score via the AtariVox+ when available. The Atarivox+ is not necessary and would be optional. Having one would add additional features. Simulation: In this genre type, you take care of the president via feeding and training him(think Tamagotchi). Over time he will become stronger and fight the invading creatures. There is the possibility of having different carts with different creatures you can train. One thing I was thinking was having presidents fight each other via a special "tournament" cart. You will be able to hear speech and save your stats via the AtariVox+ when available. The Atarivox+ is not optional and not having it would make the game incompletable. Regards, Heroes & Shadow

I was thinking about the Parker Brothers boxes for the Colecovision and I remembered that they released two diferent kinds of boxes. In order to see which box is favored, I've set up this poll, and I'm curious to see which box gets more votes. Note: This poll is just for which box design is better, not for the games released in the boxes. If I had to pick one it'd be the Two-Piece boxes, as I think they are more unique.

This is the third consecutive year for the poll and I bet we are going to see some interesting shifts this year! It's also been a banner year for the TI. We've been blessed with some really cool new hardware, a plethora of software conversions and a number of new users joining our ranks! With the killer-combo of the FR99 & JediMatt's new 32K expansion coming out, I think 2017 will see more new blood coming into our ranks, but for now, it's time to take part in our annual 'snapshot' of where we are all at as a community. --- THANKS!

What floppy disk controllers are you currently using? I actually did not expect that the original TI disk controller is still in use, given the lot of alternatives. Edit: OK, that Poll post obviously failed... I typed in all options in "Manage topic poll", but the poll does not show up here ... ? What am I missing?

Hey everyone, I have recently become interested into Nintendo Game & Watch, mainly because of all the cool exclusive sequels to real arcade games. I have discovered lots of Mario games, but even more Donkey Kong games. There are actually 7 DK games, but only 4 are platformers! I have already bought DK, DK Jr. Widescreen, and DK II. DK Jr. Tabletop/Panorama is really fun on my computer as well. I wanted to introduce these excellent LCD handhelds to you guys, as we all love Donkey Kong. If you have never played these games before, or don't have much money, I have provided the following links for you: http://www.pica-pic.com This site has both Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. New Widescreen http://www.madrigald.../sim/dnload.php This site has both Donkey Kong Jr. Tabletop and Panorama versions, and The legendary Donkey Kong II Have fun.

In the very beginning ATASM and Atari800Win where the only supported compiler and emulator in WUDSN IDE. Back from this very beginning, there is the feature that WUDSN IDE parses the console output and output files for labels/compiler symbols. The only usage for them until 1.6.x was that WUDSN IDE automatically creates a "<file>.lbl" labels file in XASM 3.0.1 format. This file can be loaded from within the monitor of Atari800Win to have a mapping between addresses and labels. I'd now like to remove that feature for several reasons: - This is 100% Atari800Win specific code that currently also runs in all other situations and on other platforms (C64) - The MADS/Altirra combination works just perfect with the existing .lab & .lst files directly generated by the compiler - The new "Compiler Symbols View" will display the labels directly in the IDE also and offer filtering. - The file is generated after starting the emulator, because parsing the output may take quite some time. Hence it cannot be passed as argument when the emulators is started. The correct implementation would have to be emulator specific, which is possible in theory (the generation of the breakpoints file already works like that) but I currently don't see much of a benefit. Hence I'd like to remove it for the moment. Looking forward to you votes & comment. -
POLL Largest Geographic Grouping of TI-99/4A Users + (Poll)
Omega-TI posted a topic in TI-99/4A Computers
We have nice little group of people from around the world here on Atari Age, but sometimes all is not what it appears to be. There are still some TI user groups around the world, many Atari Age members & subscribers may even have TI friends that do not use the board at all and therefore may be "INVISIBLE" to the community at large. The amount of buying and selling on eBay also gives a small inkling at how many people may be unaware of our existence as well. While this poll can never be truly accurate, it may give us an idea to what is out there. Besides answering the questions, comments and detailed information are requested on any other user groups or online collection of TI user's. If you have more than one or two in your area (within 100 miles) "that you know of", please lease a message giving your geographic region. -
Hey all, this is the ROM Generator I am making for the Ultimate 1MB. Ultimate1Mb ROM Generator v2.zip I would like your input on how you think the Descriptions of a ROM should be best handled for ALL users... Thanks, Jay

And well, here is the complementary poll by suggestion of Crapahute (thanks! )

Following an idea by Kevan I saw in the TI99/4A forum, I decided to start this poll so all Colecovision fans can vote for his/her favorite 2012 Colecovision game and of course comment your decision here. The number of released games in 2012 rise up to the astounding number of 24 new games! (please correct me if I'm wrong) In the TI99/4A forum they are going to send a small trophy or plaque to the author of the winning game. That's an interesting idea. Anyway, I'm only starting the poll, if someone or a group wants to give a kind of prize they're free to take their decision As only one game can be voted, votes aren't public. Enjoy it! EDIT: I'll keep it open until Sep/21/2013 if I can find out how to close it

This is a topic that has been lingering in my mind for a couple of weeks. And since I'm always the inquisitive type I need to post this question. Would you support a crowd funded, brand new, Atari 2600 console? I know this forum has shown a mixed reaction towards products like the Atari Flashback. At the same time the popularity of that device, along with other "modern retro consoles" like the Hyperkin RN3, proves there is a healthy interest in classic hardware. So let's just say for the sake of discussion that a motivated invidual on this forum is going to produce a new Atari 2600 console. He or she is going to create this console using direct input from the Atari Age community. Everyone here will get to voice their opinion. And the console will be funded through kickstarter backing. Would you fund this project? Also, do we simply produce a modern 2600 clone or do we make improvements on the original design? And if you're in favor of improvements, what kind would you make? Internal, external, cosmetic, AV related? Do you upgrade the hardware itself, making the system more powerful? What about features like SD card support, wireless controllers, HDMI ports, etc? Does the system mimic the style of the original woodgrain or do we go for something totally modern and completely different? And here's the "million dollar question." How much do you think a project like this might cost? I know that some of you might be able to give a very informed answer to this question as you've had experience with production and manufacturing. And what is the legality here? Are we covered by the same laws that allow the production of console on a chip systems? One last thing, I must say this entire topic is inspired by some of the replies I received in my "Let's buy Atari" topic. I loved reading your replies. As a community, Atari Age is one of the most interesting forums on the web. So thanks for humoring me when I post topics like this one. I look forward to reading your replies.
