      Sweet. I missed the Mario Bros one...but hope to have time for the next one.

      It will run for a full month and will be an Atari 2600 game, so hopefully you'll be able to join in Rick!

  6. Hop on over to the High Score Squad forum and check out our all new Atari 2600 KANGAROO Squad Challenge! :] http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/3143-squad-challenge-kangaroo-atari-2600/

  7. Hope everybody had a wonderful 4th of July!

  8. Hoping our friend Rob AKA MaximumRD survives the Kelowna blizzard :)

  9. How awesome is it that Arenafoot has made our logo his Facebook pic >.

  10. I always had a theory that ElectroCop existed within the Chip's Challenge universe and was how Chip saw himself, as this radical techno-hero that saves the world.

      I like it! It's probably true! He's probably sitting at the lunch table right now daydreaming about impressing Melinda and being Electrocop! Haha that's great :-)

  11. I finally beat the Suzuka course in Pole Position II. I feel like I landed on the moon. Special thanks to RickR for sending me the cartridge. http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/3817-squad-challenge-2018-pole-position-ii-grand-prix-atari-7800/?p=40493

  12. I found some old images from the earliest days of this website (2000-2002) on an old laptop this week. There's some really cool stuff in there that I can’t wait to share with you over coming weeks. Be sure to follow our Facebook and Instagram too! :]

      Wow...this site is that old? I thought it just started a few years ago. Where have I been?

      The newest incarnation launched a couple years ago, but it originally launched on September 22, 2000 :] Ask Lance about our history, he was there from Day 1

  13. I have made an addition to Danisen League to include ALL MAME Arcade games as eligible, given that both parties agree on the same difficulty/dip switches, etc. and can report a win or a loss. For more information, visit: http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/1217-danisen-league-how-to-play/

      Who wants to challenge me at Frogger?

  14. I'm basically snowed in tonight. And for some reason I've become addicted to 2600 Pac-Man. Its flaws make it challenging in the oddest ways

    1. greenween

      greenween

      Sucks you're snowed in, at least you're at home though! I always liked the 2600 Pac Man,it gets very repetitive, but hell, we would play it for hours!

       

    2. Justin

      Justin

      I'm starting to find that too! Maybe I've always been a 7800 snob, but I've always opted to play 7800 Ms. Pac-Man or 2600 Jr. Pac-Man over the original. It has an awful reputation. Yet for some reason I find myself looking forward to playing it all day long. Maybe there's something to this.

  15. I’ve updated the Danisen League Leaderboards with those who have signed up to play! To initiate a match, PM a Danisen League member from the Leaderboards and challenge them to a game! Please make sure it's a game you both have, agree upon terms, and play fairly. New games and support for MAME coming soon. Have fun!

      I truly know I will be bad. But I'm competitive and always looking for a reason to dust off the classics.

      You did AWESOME StormSurge!

      Yeah, no complaints! Winning is nice but that's certainly not the point of this. SO. MUCH. FUN!

  16. If you don't have a TurboGrafx-16 system or emulator you can play Bomberman online here: http://www.tgx16.com/bomberman

  17. It has now become professionally dangerous to disagree with some people on the Internet.

      I added two policies to my Facebook for this reason. First, I set my profile and most of my posts to friends only. Secondly, NEVER add people I currently work with to friends.

      I have to constantly remind myself that I'm on Facebook to share my bad jokes only.

      Twitter is becoming diabolical and Orwellian.

  18. It's a little disconcerting seeing what's going with the "Coleco" brand owners cracking down on the ColecoVision community. So many tremendously talented game designers in that homebrew scene, and OpCode has been a huge inspiration...

    1. MaximumRD

      MaximumRD

      That is the problem often when you get these IP / Copyright buyers who have little or no understanding of the current community. Out of touch with the history and long time fans of the company. I do not understand why they do not try hardware to support the very people that keep Colecovision loved and viable today.

       

  19. It's Friday!! Pour yourself a drink and join BTB at The Jag Bar for a round of Alien vs. Predator on Atari Jaguar! http://www.atari.io/atari-jaguar-review-alien-vs-predator-jag-bar/ Was AVP the game that made you want to get a Jaguar?
