+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 I'd like to introduce to you the newest member of the ZPH Crew: SPRITE! He is named after both the Soot Sprites from My Neighbour Totoro and also sprites from video games. We adopted him on Saturday and he is 3 months old. ? He's a very brave and curious kitten and took to his new brother Atari almost immediately. He made his debut on ZPH last night on the After Dark stream. - James 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 While you played Dodge It after K-Jo I wondered about a combination of both: Instead of walls, you have to stop using the bouncing balls. Or maybe a mix of walls and balls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current work schedule does not permit me to watch the live stream, but I did catch the replay earlier today and really enjoyed it. I never had an "Atari" growing up, but my cousins had a Sears heavy sixer and we played it a ton. Below is a pic of my Atari heavy sixer along with the launch titles and one of my gatefold Combat CIBs.

That's a beautiful heavy sixer and combat box, I'm still on the hunt for a heavy in a chess piece box... one day! ? I wish they kept doing gatefold boxes like Intellivision had, so much easier to get the game in and out, I bet more boxes would have survived! As the episodes go on I'll be telling stories of growing up playing the Atari 2600 at other people's houses (I never had one either) as specific games come up in the line up, 1977-1979 is a little before I was introduced to the system. It's going to be a LOT of retro gaming in the next few months going through EVERY game for the 2600, looking forward to it! It's a lofty goal but I think we can make it, even if we have to do a long marathon near the end to finish it off.... - James 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
