LOL The controllers look nice but the console reminds me of the first VCR's that were released! Go Zenith!

Definitely a cool intro. The music and the visuals are cool. It's almost a media visualizer for the 2600.

I've been listening to these and they are excellent.

I've added these to my Google Play Music podcast list so I can listen to them.

Bob has always made great games for the 7800 and this one does not disappoint one iota. The game is a superb adaptation of the arcade original and, though this is not a favorite version of Pac-Man by many, it still its own charm. I always found the game fun to play for the very reason many people don't like it, it is a different take on the Pac-Man formula. Having Pac-Man eat keys and other objects and then go super to eat through anything is cool. This game mechanic, though, does make the game easier to play than the usual Pac-Man game. This 7800 port looks great and really captures the essence of the arcade well. The mazes look great, the colors are bright, and the arcade sounds are replicated quite well despite the limitations of the TIA chip. This is one title that should be owned by everyone with an Atari 7800.

Yep, this particular game may not have been their best choice as an entry for the Jaguar. I wish they had created something new or, even, an updated version of the game that was improved and that took advantage of what the Jaguar can do. Supposedly the game code has been written from the ground up and it is not just a straight port of the 16-bit game but I guess time will tell.

Nice videos. I've subscribed to your channel.

Cool, thanks for posting this!

The 7800 is an excellent console that had a lot of untapped potential due to how things were on Atari back then. Be sure to check for homebrews over on Atari Age as there are plenty that are truly fantastic. If you like Pac-Man games, you need to get Pac-Man Collection.

Looks like there's a new multisystem console to play retro games coming. It is called the Retroblox. Check out the Press Release: UNLEASH YOUR NOSTALGIA WITH THE RETROBLOX MODULAR RETRO GAME CONSOLE RETROBLOX Elevates Retro Games to a New Level Combining Innovative Cartridge-Compatible Element Modules, Disc Game-Compatible Optical Disc Drive, and Online Connectivity features to Create the Ultimate Living-Room Worthy Retro Game Console. Los Angeles, California, January 31, 2017RetroBlox Inc. (RBXI) today introduced RETROBLOX, the next generation modular retro game console. With Element Modules compatible with real retro game cartridges for systems like NES, optical disc drive compatible with CD games for systems like PSX, and connectivity that rivals current gen consoles the one console future is just around the corner. AN INDUSTRY WITH A PROBLEM If youre like us, you take your games seriously. You strive for perfection in competition against other players, in your collection, and in conquering the challenge of the titles that originally influenced your gaming passion. Needless to say, playing classic games on anything less than original hardware is fraught with limitations and soon enough, most of us find the need to revert back to a decades-old old game console in order to play without compromises. As such, gaming enthusiasts are faced with a difficult choice when it comes to retro games: experience only a subset of popular re-released games made for current generation platforms such as the Virtual Console or NES Classic, use original game hardware and displays from decades ago to play in a specialized game room, or resort to illegitimate means of experiencing gaming history through use of copied roms and emulators. RETROBLOX solves this problem decisively by providing a modern, unified platform for digital retro gaming thats also committed to unprecedented modular support for original console game media and hardware peripherals. RETROBLOX IS THE WORLDS FIRST MODULAR AND FULLY-MODERNIZED RETRO GAME CONSOLE Whether youre a retro games enthusiast, or a more casual gamer wanting to try out the genuine article, RetroBlox is the #1 way to enjoy a deep and satisfying retro gaming experience in your living room without the mess of wires and clutter. An industry first, RETROBLOX ships with an on-board CD/DVD optical drive, custom produced by partner Hitachi LG Data Services (HLDS) to support the needs and features of retro game consoles. It allows you to experience the full lineup of disc games for never-before supported systems such as PSX, Sega CD, TurboGrafx-CD, and more. Another key innovation introduced by RETROBLOX are modular interfaces, called Element Modules ¹, which allow for play using original video game cartridges and controllers from older game systems. Once a game cartridge is inserted into an Element Module, players can add the game to their digital collection, share their new addition on Facebook or Twitter, or play and stream via Twitch and YouTube. Changing games and systems is as easy as ejecting the current module and inserting another. 1080P FULL HD RESOLUTION RETRO GAMING RETROBLOX natively upscales retro games from their original resolution to full HD 1080p, perfect for your living room. While crystal clear pixels are a joy to view for some players, those who prefer the older look of older TVs from the 70s, 80s and 90s will appreciate a suite of virtual displays which model the look, feel, geometry and tone of these classic displays from gamings past. HYBRID EMULATION TAKES RETRO GAMING FURTHER RETROBLOX features new patent-pending technology called Hybrid Emulation, which allows for the direct hardware reading of specialized chips and mappers contained within historically difficult-to-emulate retro game cartridges. This means gamers get full hardware compatibility with every game in their classic games library, and unparalleled performance to boot. If controller lag is your enemy, Hybrid Emulation technology also allows for the highest speed possible while using classic retro game controllers connected directly to RETROBLOX Element Modules. In this mode you can obtain near lag-free speeds² for controller input, allowing casual and competitive players to push their skills to new heights. THERES MORE TO COME RETROBLOX will announce new details and specs of the console and its strong line up of support for classic systems as well as further enhancements and details of the entire RETROBLOX platform between now and its anticipated crowdfunding campaign launch in April 2017.

Thanks for the welcome! Yes, the Inty is another nice system that is quite more capable than I thought. I actually got into it because of D2K Arcade! That just started a chain reaction!

Hi all! I had been reading on the Atari.io site but had not realized there were forums so I decided to join once I discovered them! I'm a big time retro game gamer and collector. My collection goes from retro to modern: Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Atari Lynx, Atari Jaguar, Mattel Intellivision, Vectrex, NES, Sega Genesis, Sega Dreamcast, Xbox (original), Nintendo GameCube, GBA, Nintendo DS, PSP, PS4, and Retron N5. I also have a portable 2600 and a Sega Nomad. My first system was the Atari 2600 all those years ago and I was mostly an Atari guy early on. I didn't get other systems until later on. Atari systems are still my favorites but I do admit the Sega systems are also awesome to play on. Over the years I have gotten more involved in the retro video game community and I have written reviews for games and books. My most recent review if the review for that fantastic book from Tim Lapetino, The Art of Atari. You can check that out here: http://tinyurl.com/zexkux5 I look forward to participating in the forum and getting to know folks here.
