    I'm not sure if anyone has seen this, but I thought I'd share it.  This is only available for Android devices currently (phones, tablets and Android TV).  It is excellent and their goal is to bring all the cartridge based systems to it.  It is available as a Beta currently but it can certainly be tested/used.  The cool thing is that you can add your own binaries to play.  Below are images of the platforms currently supported and the controllers supported.

    GRay Defender reacted to Atari 5200 Guy in K-Tel Records and Video Game Ads   
    Who here remembers vinyl records/albums?  Who remembers K-Tel? For those who don't know here's a bit of a summed up history.
    Music.  Before cellphones and music compressed so much you could fit almost an entire library of music on those phones music came on pressed disc made out of vinyl.  And before the Now series of music compilations there was a company before them that did the same thing known as K-Tel.
    K-Tel made music compilations on 33 1/3 albums, cassettes, and 8-tracks.  The did try to make the transition to CDs but didn't last long once CDs were introduced.

    Ah...good old K-Tel.  If you wanted the latest hits but couldn't afford to grab every single or all the original artist's album releases you grabbed a K-Tel album.  These discs contained anywhere between 12 to 20 songs in both rock and country genres.  They were very popular items.  Sometimes they had that one song you never heard before that was also really good...yet could not be found anywhere else.  
    Once I had finished finally setting up my TT I began going through my K-Tel collection.  Look what I found inside of one of them.

    Advertisements for the double ender 2600 games.  I thought you guys would enjoy seeing this.  Oh...and...

    ..my TT.  Technics direct drive semi automatic.  About as old as me and still ready to rock.  So...if you have one spin it while playing Atari.  You might just surprise yourself.

    Ah, yes, I only just discovered the thread in AA, and I unfortunately did not comb through it even though it's only about 2 pages.  Ha ha.  I do try to be thorough most of the time.  Anyhow It is a nice little addition to the book and it came in handy reading it...

    Wow. Christmas Carol vs. the Ghost of Christmas Presents. I haven't heard about that in a long, long, time. I think I saw a CGR Review of the homebrew a few years back. I had no idea that there was a picture book about it. Same thing, right?
    Cool, dude. I'll watch your video and subscribe to your channel.

    GRay Defender reacted to socrates63 in socrates63's gaming collection and setup   
    A little background on my physical gaming setup... gaming has been a retrofit into existing living spaces. I have gaming areas in two places in the house. First, a large room upstairs started out as the toy room for kids and my library. Now, half of the room is used for home theater with a very large old sofa in front of the 65" 4K TV and audio equipment. Modern consoles and some older ones are hooked up to this TV. I'll share photos in the future. Second, in a small corner of the office/den on the main floor, I've set up a 27" CRT TV with 2600, 5200, 7800, and PS2.
    Most of my Atari 8-bit collection is on a single shelf in my office along with the CRT TV and Atari consoles. My small 5200 CIB games collection is also here (double stacked). Not shown are my 2 800XL and in-the-box 800. Fort Apocalypse by Synapse was the first commercial game that I bought for my childhood 800, and I believe Temple of Apshai may have been the second. EA's early games are also my favorites. I have a small collection of games from those three companies because they represent a lot of A8 nostalgia for me.
    The CRT TV setup is something I'm actively thinking about. I need to find a way to have access to all 3 Atari consoles. Right now, the 7800 is sitting in the back of the bottom shelf on the stand. I also have a PS2 here but that takes minimal space. I'll probably have to go with a different TV stand.
    In the room upstairs, I have two shelves where all the 2600 games and homebrews are kept. Everything is double stacked. This room also contains shelves (not shown) of games for all generations of Playstation and Xbox.
