    Yes I definitely think so, I find it really appealing on TIA and it does not sound like the usual TIA fare either. 🙂 It can sound really great in the right hands, and you guys have done it well.

    It would be nice if we could have a cheap common POKEY the new POKEY alternative is nice, but very pricey so far.

    hi Jinroh,

     

    yep, price can be very important.

    Yes a POKEY chip would have been great, but agreed, they did what they had to I suppose. I think the TIA music is great however. 🙂

     

    hi Jinroh,

    back then the pokeys were a dime a dozen, today, hard to find. so we do what we can do with the hardware we have, and the music is good enough.

    thanks,

    So amazing! After hearing about this version for so long, it is phenomenal to see it in action! The extra little touches  compared to the other versions make it seem all the more better. Also the music sounds great, not like a buzzy TIA at all.

    Definitely will have to pick this up when it is out. ❤️

    hi jinroh,

     

    thanks for the kind words, and yes peter did a fantastic job with the TIA music, to bad general corporation did not incorporate a pokey chip on the 7800 side. but i understand about the compatibility issues.

  19. Atari 8-Bit Games That Were Re-Written for Atari 5200

    XEGS is fine...BUT...it came out in 1987!  By that time, we're talking about 8 year old technology.  And they were competing against the 7800!  WTF Atari??

    PS - I have one too.  I got it used.  I had no idea such a thing even existed until probably 2010.  I like it, but it seems like another horrible design decision by Atari.

    hi guys,

     

     i love the XEGS, its really the only modern looking 8-bit. mistakes were made in the design which i pointed out to them. it came with a freddie chip, so it could do 128k right out of the box. but there was a shortage of ram back then, at least cheap enough for jack, so they went with 64k instead.

    plus the detachable keyboard was a dream back then, i utilize that today even. with a 10" keyboard extender cable, you can inventory or print far away from the CPU part of the XEGS.

    atari that i am aware of, never marketed a extender cable.

    also if you take the keyboard apart you will see its actually a 65XE/130XE keyboard.

    atari could have utilized the start, select, option, and reset capabilities into the detachable keyboard really making a powerful machine.

    a slight tweaking to the O.S. would mostly have taken care of that.

     

     looking at midi maze and xenophobe combined with hardware done properly, and it was every bit as competitive with the hardware at the time.

     

     

     

    there was also supposed to be a 720k 3.5 inch disk drive with a powerful DOS, but that was shelved also.

    right out of the gate sales were brisk, then no games. no drives, no dos, the rest is history.
