I remember seeing the Atari keyboard in the Atari Age magazine and feeling very excited about it. Too bad it was never released.

How about Space Invaders?

Nice review. Seems these are out of stock right now, though.

Oh, D2K Arcade more than makes up for it!

Yep, no videos of this came could be found in YouTube.

That's really cool and works quite well!

I have this one. I'll see if I can post about it. Edit --------------------- Well, I had written my own review of the game on RVG. Here is what I wrote: Combat 1990 is a homebrew title for the Atari 7800 that won second place at the 2005 Staticgamer.com homebrew contest. The game plays homage to the original Combat game that was packed with the Atari VCS between 1977 and 1982. Whereas the original title was a combination of two Atari arcade titles (Tank and Jet Figher), Combat 1990 only has the tank games and introduces a few changes to the formula. First, the game has both one and two-player options, with the latter being a cooperative mode. This is different from the original Combat where players fought each other. The tanks are now equipped with shields to help them resist impacts, though these shields are disabled when firing. Shields can be replenished by driving over energy pods located through the ground. When the game starts, each player has five tanks and the goal is to destroy as many enemy tanks and saucers as possible. The game ends either when all five tanks are lost or when five minutes have passed. If the game ends at five minutes, bonus points are awarded for any remaining tanks and shield energy. Combat 1990 seems like a missed opportunity. The game has very plain graphics that do not take advantage of the capabilities of the 7800. Even the never-released Combat II or Armor Ambush on the 2600 had nicer graphics than this. The lack of a head-to-head 2-player mode is also disappointing as this was what the original was known for. Game sounds are minimal but so they were on the original game. Overall, the game can be enjoyed but it leaves you wanting more.

Everytime I hear someone say that ET on the 2600 is the worst game ever, I have to cringe. The game may not be perfect but, given the time he had to work on it, it is not a bad game. I have always enjoyed playing it, despite the issue with the pits. I think people just didn't read the instructions and had no clue what they were doing when they played it.

Excellent!

Welcome to IO! I've not seen one of those calculators in a long time!

I'll then say Bentley Bear, Donkey Kong, Ms. Pac-Man and Simon Belmont.

Fantastic news!

Well, that's a good list. Hard to come up with a different set of characters that have had the same impact.

Wow, that is awesome!

Oh wow, I wonder what the story is behind this. Why was the place abandoned? But cool to see there are video games in there! Best of luck!

Video game "junk?" Count me interested.

I have a Genesis with the Power Base Converter. It works quite well to play the original games for the SMS plus I can play the Genesis games, which is rather practical. The decision, however, is yours as it all depends on what you prefer. Do you want the original console to play or are you okay using another console that is capable of playing the games?

Welcome aboard!

That was a nice review of the forum. As someone who has joined recently, I find it a very accurate review.

They do look cool and, for that price, definitely a steal!

I just learned that Bill Paxton died due to complications from a surgery. Very sad news. May he rest in peace. You can read more here: Bill Paxton, ‘Titanic’ and ‘Big Love’ Star, Dead at 61

I've not seen it yet. I will let you now once I do.

I just checked again and it is there now. Maybe there was a bit of a lag. Thanks!

Cool. When should it appear in Google Play Music? I just checked and I didn't see it.

I coil the cables in the hallow part of the controllers and then fit them into the slots on the console.
