justclaws Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Friends Tab in AtariOS Available, details follow. You can already add friends, send messages, and more will follow. The system update today enabled this, and should now support this in games. You can search by partial name, rather than a complete match, thankfully. My username is... guess....

bugcatcher88 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I already added a friend on there. It's a really neat feature and I love that we have profiles. I just wish we could actually view our own though. The on-screen keyboard is cumbersome to me when messaging, but thankfully a physical keyboard works just fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_JaguarVCS Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I really like it so far, good that Atari added this feature and hopefully they integrate it into some games soon!, I feel it would work well for Utopos. I’m really liking the Atari OS more and more these days it all seems to be going in the right direction to be honest so looking forward to seeing what other features get added in the future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djmicklovin Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Now they just need to add an Achievements/Trophy system and online multiplayer support. What they could've done with their casino business was incorporate that into the VCS as players could compete against each other and win real money for things like a Centipede or Missile Command tournament, or add virtual slot machines and online poker tournaments.

They're coming... from what I read... but games need support. Online multi-player already happens in Utopos, because games can use any back-end they want. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you read that this feature was coming? I would love to see the following games receive this feature on VCS: Atari Vault Danger Scavenger Ato Centipede: Recharged (already there, but in-game only) Sir Lovelot Missile Command: Recharged (I 100%ed it on Steam, but would do it again on VCS) Frog Hop (I already 100%ed it, but would do it again for achievements) Sigi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpaul Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Anyone know if there is a way to change your user ID? I didn't really care before, but now that the Friends tab is there, I'd rather have something cooler than my first name followed by a bunch of random numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leech Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Pretty sure my name there is the same as it is here. I should play more games... I also want to know.. who has all those high scores on Antstream? I swear there are bots for some of them... then again I watched a video of a dude playing Dig Dug on youtube and realized I have been playing it wrong all these years! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping getting some friends on there will force me to spend some more time playing games! You WILL play with me! Ha, most of my game time is with my brother on the PS4. Yesterday we played a full 8 hours of Ghost Recon: Wildlands... did a boss mission and the stupid game glitched and would not me stow the guy I grabbed onto the helicopter to extract him. Then he died while I tried to shove him onto a boat. Second attempt worked fine, I cheesed that one by wiping everyone out in a helicopter though. Wasted a lot of time for a bug. One thing that is nice about going back to simpler games is they are less likely to bug out on you in such ways! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
