    YES you are. KaOS has got to be one of the coolest name for an operating system I've ever heard. I love it!

      I am playing Atari Mania and my children are trying to help me figure out the rules for each mini-game.

      I'm playing VCTR-SCTR and Neo-Breakout on Atari 50 (VCS). The Digital Eclipse folks really "get" the original games and recapture their spirit in the reimagined versions. They are hard to put down and well worth the price of entry.

    @MaximumRD What a classic

    (Note: You're probably asking yourself why didn't I post TV commercials to the TV Forum? Because it's not about TV and it's not about the commercials, it's about what's in them. AMC Gremlin isn't "TV". Neither is Levis, K-Mart, Polaroid, Kay Bee or Blockbuster. More so, it's about what they represent, our shared memories of those things and those times and what they mean to us. Everything else springs from that. This should be a fun topic!)

    How about I kick things off with a retro commercial for a true retro icon - the 1973 Levi's Edition American Motors Gremlin:

    It almost feels weird for "Atari" to be a real thing in existence out there doing such a nice job and providing support for their own products, it's been decades since we've enjoyed this sort of thing in Atariland.

    🤔 Is there any notable difference between Star Trek's "Q" and Samantha Stephens?

    Fun Fact: The 1989 Lotus Esprit SE was the "movie car" that Richard Gere famously drove throughout the film Pretty Woman. Neither Ferrari nor Porsche wanted to be associated with Pretty Woman because one of the leads was a prostitute, so they prohibited the film from using their cars. Lotus didn’t mind.

    I LOVED this game. I had an Esprit back in the day, partially due to this game and partially due to the Esprit being the "sister car" to the DeLorean DMC-12, as the DeLorean was based on the Esprit and engineered by Lotus at Hethel. They're sisters but not quite twins. Park them side by side and you'll see the similarities, same low, swept-back stance, both designed by Giugiaro, the DeLorean is wider, Esprit typically had a smaller engine at that time, nestled in the middle of the car rather than the rear. Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge was a cool game, fun to play, and one of the first racing games I can think of that was both 1.) officially licensed and branded with a car brand (Lotus) as opposed to games like Out Run which were not officially licensed through Ferrari and never used the Ferrari brand, and 2.) challenged the player with more detailed and somewhat more realistic driving physics, instrumentation, cockpit layout and gear shift. I remember playing this game and thinking it was like a flight simulator for driving. Really a neat game.

    Would you truly want to "reboot" TNG as a tv show with new actors, rather than continue the story with a new crew 40 years on?

    What do you think of the name "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny"? Disney announced the title to the new Indiana Jones movie along with with its movie trailer. Interested to hear your feedback on the name "Dial of Destiny" and thoughts on the franchise in general

    Interesting results, so far there are as many votes for TurboGrafx-16 challenges and MAME challenges as there are for Atari 2600. Seems like you guys enjoy a balanced mix 🏆
  17. Justin
    You've done an amazing job @Sabertooth!! Thank you 🏆

    I'm glad you enjoyed Neo-Geo Golf! I was thinking the same thing, it's one of my favorites.

    What was your favorite game in High Score Squad this year?

    The more I think about this, the more fascinated I am by it. What a masterstroke on Atari's part. In the past month Atari has given us Swordquest: Airworld, and Akka Arrh reimagined by Jeff Minter - we've always dreamed of these posssibilities. Now they have gone from "what if?" to reality. The Atari XP releases have had a few hiccups, but it's a nice initiative for Atari to release new first-party cartridges on real Atari hardware, and collaborate with game designers new and old. I appreciate Atari's efforts and it feels like they've got a light on over there.

    Incredibly unfortunate story, I saw this breaking and wanted to get onto the site and post about it. @nosweargamer had good coverage of this story:

    That's incredible! This looks absolutely on point. Would LOVE to see Jag, Lynx and 7800 versions of this 🤯

    🤔 It’s always a bad idea to bet against openness.

      I don't know your context, but I'm in general, I agree!  Give me the "why" and you'll have a much better chance of having me follow. 

      If it's relationship based....open up and be free to be yourself.

      That’s a very thoughtful take, @RickR.

      I mean it just in general - in a multitude of ways. Open architecture. Open source. Open internet. Open hearts. Open minds. It’s more difficult to keep things contained than set them free. Life finds a way.

    It's okay to play different.
