Hello everybody!  It's been a while but I'm back here at my home forum, Atari IO, to give you all an update on the content, on the happenings of Atari Network, and about umm... other stuff I guess?  Nailed it!  Anyway, because I missed the last podcast I had to make a video about Atari Products in 2024 to give you all my most anticipated items of this year and my thoughts on them!  I talk about the newly announced 7800 stuff, the Gamestation Portable, The Atari 400 Mini and more!  Click below to see it!
 
I also give an update on the merch in that video.  I hope to have it available come middle to late March or early April at the latest.  Under advice from a good friend with knowledge on sales and law, I'm reworking the Atari Network logo not to use the Fuji, and I'm adjusting the 7800 Pro Gamer shirt.  Once I get the changes done and the last samples in I should be good to go but I'm waiting on some art to be finished too.  We'll have an Atari Network 12oz Mug, Tumbler, maybe a shot glass since people seem interested in that, as well as an Atari Network Podcast shirt and a 7800 Pro Gamer shirt!  I'm trying to keep prices low but sales projections are also low and I have to at least break even.  But the samples I got so far seems to be good quality even after a few washes!  So just an update on that for those who are interested but its still being worked on, don't worry!  I knew you wasn't!
Enough of that stuff, so tune in this Sunday for our weekly review!  This week I'm looking at Blueprint for the Atari 5200 Supersystem.  It was a viewer request and one I'll be honest, I wasn't too keen on.  Was I pleasantly surprised?  Did I hate it?  Well you'll have to make sure you're subscribed and have the bell clicked to know for sure!  Here's a preview of the thumbnail, which turned out really cool I think.  People don't seem to click on ones like this with older art throughout but I can't help it, I really like how it looks!  After that we'll have reviews coming for Phoenix on the 2600, a 7800 Homebrew Review Special featuring 3 games, and a special review I can't talk about yet.
 

 
Also, I'm adding a new show to the list of programming on the Atari Network.  That's what makes it a Network after all!  I'm glad to announce that Man vs 7800 is returning!  Now in livestream form!  So every other Saturday morning at 10:00AM (EST) the opposite week of the podcast you can watch the 7800 Pro Gamer attempt to beat a 7800 game live on stream!  Who will win, Man or 7800?  I'll have a poll on the channel to decide our first game, and choices will include Double Dragon (which will have to be played via AV on the 7800), Kung Fu Master, or Wizards Dungeon!  So join us for the return of Man Vs 7800, live on February 17th at 10am in the morning!  I think it makes more sense as a livestream and I always enjoyed doing those videos, so I hope people like it.
 

 
And finally, Friday Feb 9th at 7:30 PM Eastern (4:30 Pacific) we have the Atari Network Podcast brought to you by Atari7800Forever!  We will be talking about the VCS and why some games aren't coming out on that console, we'll discuss the products announced since the last podcast, discuss a little about the community and of course, we'll chew the fat with the chat!  So join myself and co-host FunkmasterV for the Atari Network podcast Feb 9th at 7:30P EST (4:30 Pacific) and then every other Friday from there on out.  Its a lot of fun!
 
Ok guys I think that's enough of an update for now.  Thanks for the support and thanks for making the community the best on the internet!  And don't forget to Stay Classy Atarians!

I remember seeing it advertised like crazy on Pluto during Thanksgiving through Christmas a year or two ago. I remember thinking "How do they make Frogger a game show" and then I saw the commercial and realized it was like Wipeout or Takeshi's Castle / Most Extreme Elimination Challenge.

There was also the Frogger game show on Peacock a year or two ago. I was surprised to see this, and then we didn't really talk about it at all in the forums:
 

Nick Arcade! I loved this show and got to see it in person:

The only complaint of this game is that there is no nudge ability. 

Yes, I’m without my computer at the moment, apologies. I will update the Squad Challenge to be Difficulty A, expert mode.

The new update to NeoSprint is live. It has a zoomed in view for single player and implements the twist function of the Classic Controller for steering.
If you haven't looked at the game in a while, it's well worth revisiting. I didn't care for it at release. Now it's fun.

I just received mine in the mail! This is amazing that our first Club has turned into something this vibrant! 

I shared it to our Instagram 🙂🕹️

Here's my humble submission: 125,730. I played on Stella 6.7 for Mac OS.
This is one heck of a port, and I absolutely suck at it lol. The ONLY reason I posted 125K is because I fluked my way into getting the 2x multiplier. I say that because I continue find new ways to lose a ball as soon as I hit the plunger. I just can't get the timing on the flippers or anything. So, in summation: Damn good port, but I truly stink.

So mine started doing a weird thing where the ball would freeze or just disappear at the last 3 inches of the bottom of the screen and the game would start over. Switched to the 7800 and it's not an issue. 

Same. This game is awesome. I may try the asteroids controller for this. 

I have to admit that I never spent any time on this game. Video Pinball has always been my go to. I'm loving it on the expert setting!

Oh I'll be joining in on this one!  This game really shines on the 2600.

180,540 on the Sears heavy 6. Switches on expert. 

Difficulty switches on expert or novice?
