One last note on Atari collecting. I highly recommend Leonard Herman’s ABC To The VCS. My edition of the book (which is old) covers over 700 titles including homebrews. The reviews are concise, but provide enough information for you to make a decision on whether/not to try a particular title. It had been out of print, but is now available via Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The new copies include a Forward by Brett Weiss.

Yesterday's mailbox - "the eBay special", ha. Brain Games for me and Kirby 64 manual for the lady.
Blaster Master for NES was a request and recommendation from an extended family member. Looks pretty fun from what I see online. It's been nearly 20 years since I've touched an NES controller, oof! Liquidated my few NES and SNES titles long, long ago.

Oh, I have this one. Two versions of it and, yes, it is addictive!

All, as some of you may know, I'm a contributor to Old School Gamer magazine. I'm currently writing an article looking at Berzerk Enhanced Edition and Berzerk Recharged for the magazine. We are going to be writing articles about the Atari 2600+, so I wanted to create a thread for any questions you may have about the system. I did test the system at PRGE and it does look and work nicely. I know some folks has questions about the emulator being used, legalities related to that, etc. So, just add your questions/concerns here and I will gather these for use in the magazine to try to get answers for everyone. Thank you!

Don't work on Halloween, so figured I'd visit my mom in the nursing home, then come home and binge watch the last half of the last season of Babylon 5.

Halloween isn't a big deal for me. I may have one kid show up at the door for candy, and that is all. Last year not even one kid showed up. I always get some candies just in case and only the small ones so I can gradually eat them if no kids show up. 🤣

Lots of great recommendations in that video! I think I've played less than half of them.
Here's a list of some of my favorites. I think I've played less than 20 Atari 2600 games from back in the day. Some of these became my favorites when I played them during the I/O high score competition.
No Asteroids and Yars on my list 😂 Don't hate me.
Originals
Beamrider (I think the 2600 version looks better than the 5200 version) Stampede Demon Attack Mines of Minos Room of Doom Cosmic Creeps Arcade conversions
Galaxian Pac-Man Vanguard Space Invaders -

Crystal Castles
River Raid
Taz
Road Runner
Donkey Kong
Tapper
This is a start, anyway.

I would offer candy to kids, but I need to do things and won't be at the front door of my house. So, what I did was this. I bought some bags of candy and donated to the church near my house for their Trunk 'N Treat. They put candy in families' cars for the kids in the church's parking lot. I thought it would be a nice contribution to the community since I won't able to hand candy out at my house.
