    Apparently, the game is not well rated.  That's unfortunate because the movie was really good!

    Cool ideas!  I have solar panels on my house and a 25 KW generator should there be power loss (like during hurricanes) that can run my entire house.  I never considered, however, getting rechargeable batteries or a solar charger for those batteries.  I'm going to look into that.  I saw some chargers on Amazon that run for about $100.  Those look nothing like what you have posted here, though.

    Oh man, that is an excellent find!  Recently three "new" 2600 titles were found and now you have a "new" 7800 game found.  Amazing that so many year later, games that were never released continue to be found!

    hi everyone,
     
    i did plug the riot eprom into my 7800 dual chip set cartridge board, and did get a reaction. bright yellow screen with background noise. so the 7800 is trying to read it, but lacks the second e-prom, i tried it in both sockets, worked better on the bottom one.
    also got the atari logo on the xenophobe, but that's it. it requires the second chip also. it might be a beta version.
    i found more eproms, nothing on the labels, they were so old they had fallen off. but it was dark inside the tube, so they may have survived. when i plug them in, like just about everything i ever had got out of atari, they show graphics and sound, only garbled. telling me they need more than one e-prom, and which board, and or which platform are they for?
    a puzzle for sure.

    Yep, roll with the punches it is when it comes to rain during a visit to these parks.  I went for the Food and Wine Festival in EPCOT and it started to rain and it just didn't stop.  I put on my poncho and walked around to see what I could.  Since the rain was not relenting, I decided to see if I could get into the Space Restaurant.  Sure enough, there was a short line and I was able to get in in 30 minutes.  Had a nice time in "space" and when I left, the rain had stopped.  By then, most people had left the park due to the rain, so there were no lines on the rides and I was able to still enjoy the rest of the festival.  🙂

    We still had a lot of fun.  But the rain made it pretty exhausting after a while. 
    I've been to the Florida parks when it has rained.  The difference is that in FL, it rains HEAVY for a while and then stops.  This rain was different...it was heavy and never stopped.  While we had fun still, it was sobering to think that there was flooding in the area.  Hopefully, everyone in the area and their property are all ok.

    I heard about this.  Were you able to enjoy any of the park?  I went to Disneyland and California Adventure more than 10 years ago.  I had fun and enjoyed the differences between those parks and the Florida parks.

    I got a 5200 in 2007.  In fact, I got two, as I got both a 4 port and a 2 port system.  I have always liked the games for the console as it has some unique titles and some exclusive ports as well.  I was aware of the issues with the controllers, so I immediately got the gold upgrade for mine.  I also got a WICO controller.  The main issue is the controller does not self-center, something that Atari was working on but never released due to the crash.  Overall, though, I'm happy with the system.

    I have a couple of those ridged Lynx carts.  I like how they look but I think the curved lip is better to pull them out of the cartridge port, at least on the Lynx II.
