TrekMD got a reaction from Lost Dragon in Things Atari nailed.... and then screwed up.
They screwed up with the launchg of the 7800 and what was originally planned for the system never happened. Had they done things as planned, Nintendo may have had a harder time taking over as they did.
They also failed to properly handle the Lynx and the Jaguar. The Lynx was superior to what was out there at the time for handhelds and yet it did not do well in the market. Very unfortunate because it was and still is one excellent gaming system. As for the Jaguar, another missed opportunity.

TrekMD got a reaction from dauber in WANTED: Feedback for Crazy Brix for Atari 7800
Here is in feedback on this game:
Here we have a game that takes the classic formula from Breakout and updates it for the 7800. If you're expecting an Arkanoid clone, then you need to look elsewhere because that's not what Bob created with Crazy Brix. In this game you control a Deflector with either a joystick or a paddle controller (though I recommend the latter) to smash bricks (or, are they brix) that are organized in various patterns, a number of which play tribute to other Atari classics. Don't be surprised when you see a Tank from Combat or an Alien from Space Invaders, among others. To add to gameplay, the walls are not always smooth and straight as they are on Breakout or even Arkanoid. These irregular walls make the balls move in rather interesting ways that really add an unpredictability to things and keeps the game interesting. Visually the game does have bright colors and the animation of the brix as they are smashed is nicely done. They don't just vanish when the ball hits them but, rather, are slowly broken down until they disappear. Given the limited number of paddle titles for the 7800 (if you discount the 2600 titles you can play on the system), this certainly is a game to have to enjoy with friends or by yourself. Truly another Bob classic for the 7800. So go crazy and smash some brix!

Really cool! I think the cartridges are more rare than the consoles themselves.

TrekMD reacted to jmjustin6 in Thrift Store Finds
Todays thrift store finds. Its not often i find genesis games at the thrift store and when i do they are usually loose so happy to have found it.
Gamecube games are a must and found a slimer

TrekMD reacted to greenween in MP5 - 4.3" Portable Handheld Video Game Console Player
Mine arrived today. These things keep selling out quickly. They only post 15 at a time. It said it would arrive in an epacket but came in a legit box, everything sealed, manual, ear buds and usb hook up. Love it so far. It comes with about 100 games, mostly GBA. I loaded all my NES roms and they seem to work great, which is really the only reason I bought it. I had the same issue with realizing you had to hold down start to get it to boot up. So far it's a great purchase for $25+ free shipping!

For the price, this doesn't seem to be a bad deal. It's also not the first rip off of the PSP design. I've seen similar units sold in Amazon that are pretty much identical in looks to the PSP.
