    Reminds me of when I added the Forums to Atari I/O

    I had done that two years ago when you made us aware of Lvl Up. I hope those scores are still there. Lvl Up will have rescued my scores. Hopefully more people will come over to Lvl Up from HighScore.com now that it's gone. Is anything going on with Twin Galaxies anymore?

    @Marco1019 That's extremely disappointing. I had some excellent world record high scores over there. I hope the same won't happen at lvlupscore.com

    Good stuff. Waiting on 7800 Crystal Castles
  5. Justin
    I’m still unsure how to play this or how score is kept. I imagine it’s a lot like Dom Jot.

    There's room in everyone's Atari I/O Profile to add your Nintendo Friend Code, Playstation Network ID and Xbox Live ID

    For Nintendo Switch you need your Nintendo Friend Code

    If this is on Evercade Atari must have rights to put this game out. I'd love to see an Atari 7800 version of this game, playable on the Atari 2600+

    I always enjoyed the arcade version of Lunar Lander. It's early but I love the physics. Gravitar, and Thrust+ Platinum from @thrust26 are two favorites. Although Lunar Lander: Beyond has a bit too much of that "flash game" look to it, I really like the added elements shown in the video. Having to "hack" the exit was a cool touch, plus having missions to accomplish and things to do other than landing and refueling is really nice. I feel like this would've made the perfect Lynx game. With any luck, one day maybe it will. I haven't played this game on Steam but I hope to give it a thumbs up if and when it's released on the VCS. I'd be thrilled to see more coming out for the Atari VCS. I worry that 18 months from now things will become dry for the VCS, with Atari's attention focused on the 2600+ and other offerings. Hopefully that won't be the case and the VCS will live a long life with lots of cool games to come.

    Sounds like he has a monkey on his back When you’re hopped up on Donk it’s like there’s nobody else alive but you.

    🕯 There’s nothing nicer than working on the backend of Atari I/O by candlelight on a cold winter’s night.

    Yes you should

    People love to say “fAiLeD cOnSoLe”. It’s like a meme at this point. NEC briefly made this variant of the PC Engine for the Japanese market and released 5 SuperGrafx games before moving on to the Super CD and Arcade CD which was better technology. They chose a different path. This was fairly common for products at that time to be released in Japan first, almost like a test market. SuperGrafx added an additional GPU that put another layer of graphics into PC Engine games. All but one SuperGrafx games were also PC Engine compatible. I’ve played the SuperGrafx games, they’re cool but I love the Super CD and Arcade CD much better. Of the few decisions NEC got right, the Super CD was a big one.

    I actually don't recognize this. Looks Brazilian.

    Once Upon A Time In Hollywood has become my favorite Tarantino film. When I heard “Quentin Tarantino is doing a movie about the Manson Murders” I expected a rondo of blood. What we got was something really different.

      Yes!  It has been a while since I saw that one.  I went in blind, not even knowing it was Tarantino.  So yes, very different than what was expected.

      I watched that movie & came away very impressed as it was a departure from his previous efforts. The IMDB notes are a good complement. I believe Sharon Tate's sister was consulted for the film.

    You could make that case for the 2600 as well. We're in a different age now and a different market. The 2600+ and this new 400 mini are not competing as industry leaders the way PS5, Xbox and Switch are today. That's also why I thought it would be far more economical for Atari to roll their modern support for the 5200 format into a new A8+ product.
  18. Justin
    I was wondering that too. Maybe they're saving it for later. Maybe they believe the 400 has the most recognition, similar to the 2600. Maybe they think people identify Atari most with the late 1970s and are branding things along those lines. I wonder if they will overlook the 5200 entirely.
  19. Justin
    I would like to see a cartridge port for both A8 and 5200 so that everyone feels covered. There's going to be someone out there like you, with very fond memories of the 5200 - except they never got into the A8, etc. It would be nice for them to be able to play their cartridges and homebrew releases on a new system with HD output. I feel like if Atari is going to do this the right way - the way they did the 2060+, that's what they would need to do. I also hope one day we will see an FPGA-Based 2600+ in a 7800 shell. They could call it the Atari 2600 Pro.
  20. Justin
    I'm a little underwhelmed that this doesn't have a cartridge port the way the 2600+ does. I've been hoping to see Atari develop an "Atari XE+" with a 4/5 or 3/5 scale Atari XE that incorporates two cartridge ports into the top of the machine - one for Atari 8-Bit Computer cartridges, and the other for Atari 5200 cartridges. I would love that. Otherwise this looks like a nice product and I hope Atari does well with it.

    💥 PRO-TIP - Here’s a good rule of thumb for posting in the YouTube Community forum: Context is key! If the main point of the topic is about sharing a classic gaming YouTube Channel, creator, or series, w/ the intent of sparking up a long term discussion about that channel - the topic belongs in the YouTube Community forum. 

    Conversely, if the main point of a new topic is about something else, like - "There's a new game out for ColecoVision" - and that post just so happens to contain a YouTube video of the gameplay etc. - that topic belongs in the ColecoVision forum. It’s more about “Coleco” than about “YouTube” and we’d put it in the Coleco forum where we would want it be seen by people interested in ColecoVision.

    @CrossBow I was fortunate to get my copy of Loom about 25 years ago from Turbo Zone Direct. The Duo had some truly amazing games and many were completely overlooked for years. I overlooked some of them myself in 1993 because I was so excited for games like Club Drive to come out on the Jaguar that I missed some other great things going on at the time. If you're just looking for fun games to be able to play, PCE Works offers new repops and box sets of many of these hard to find titles, at good prices. They're very well done and it's essentially like getting a brand new game. They keep their stock updated here: https://stock.pceworks.net/

    That was a real thing by the way, Domino's sent those out to deliver pizza. You'd think it would've been Pizza Hut, since they had all of those Back To The Future Part II promotions and product placement, but I think the Domino's car predated the movie's release by a few years.

    I was just playing Lucas Art's LOOM on TurboDuo this weekend! Very cool example of this type of early '90s computer adventure game that lead to greats such as Myst.
  25. Justin
    Yes, that's a great point! Thank you @Sabertooth for reminding me that A.R.T.I. is available for the VCS which makes it even more accessible to anybody who would like to play this awesome game!
