  1. Fine snippet! You should buy a second V61 Joystick! And after long nights of training you'll strike back without mercy! Your son is a tough one, so you need much training! Just kiddin'!
  2. Ohh yes it is! In spite of the joysticks it is an astonishing home arcade system. Centipede with trackball is an insane experience. But that is only the peak of the growler! I suspect many critics never had seen a 5200 in coloured action.
  3. Advertisement in the Tramiel era: In Germany they had made no or even few promotion on TV, mainly the ST Computers in the 80ies. The Lynx was only advertised in Atari-Magazines (!), the Jaguar was neither promoted. Only Mail order retailers had shown the cat in their catalogues. I have in mind, that Germany was a big market for Atari products. Did they really thought, there was no need for propaganda? Nintendo, Sega or even Commodore were omnipresent on TV in these days.
  4. That was unthinkable in Germany. Here the ST was more a serious business machine or a creative tool in commercials and people's mind. The Amiga was the entertainer and gaming computer. Nevertheless Atarians were playing.
  5. Atari was my first love, it will be my last. Atari of the future, Atari of the past. Suddenly John Miles comes to my mind. Could be a nice answer to that important question.
  6. My module was possibly burried under a big fat ass. Flat as a pancake, so i had to bring it back in form. It was worth the try, because it is really a wonderful version of the coinop.
  7. My best wishes! But Southeast Texas is too far from my home! Maybe you think about Mail order!
  8. Hmmm, somebody must produce a hack or a sequel with all the proposed characters and courses. That will be sure funny!
  9. I don't remember you, but i guess you to slow down your speed and reduce working. A burnout is an evil disease. I know exactly, what i am talking about.
  10. Nice people! You should play Mario Kart with them.
  11. Birds are flying in my head and shitting on my tongue!

  13. Oooooh! Playing Centipede and Missile Command with Trakball on a 5200 is arcade perfect! Dream comes true, Heaven on Earth! I love that. This is a good reason for owning Ataris unlucky behemoth.
  14. Welcome, you're finally home! Btw. i share your taste in music.
  15. The picture on the cartridge sticker looks fantastic! I would like to have that as a poster! Is it possible to make a second edition of the game via Atari Age or anyother producer? I bet, there are many grateful consumers.
  16. Indeed, but D2K Arcade is a late compensation for the Intellivision friends.
  17. Brilliant! Many paddlecontroled games are unknown or underrated. Everyone should own a paddleset!
  18. Mario - A plumber and carpenter could be useful. Pitfall Harry - A survivalprofi is very important for surviving. Lara Croft - guess what! Peter Pepper - can't get hungry with his hamburgers.
  19. Welcome to Atari.io! You have entered a cozy place for Atarians and other Retroists!
  20. @ Lost Dragon Thanks for the answer! ✌
  21. @ BTB Sounds familiar to me. I had played the 2600-version of Donkey Kong and the same thoughts about it. The Intellivision-version of Donkey Kong looks a little bit like 'Practical Pig vs. Swamp Thing' to me.
  22. Which RG-issue contains that Interview with Darryl Still?
