  1. Just an FYI in relation to the info you provided regarding flashcards, if you use Dev Mode to load a single game onto the HArmony it will be recognized and loaded of course because at that point the Harmony is simply acting like a single game cartridge.
  2. You picked the ONE title I have yet to even start, I avoided it for years with all the negative talk but picked it up recently after hearing how much it has improved, watching some gameplay videos etc. Not sure when I will get to it. I just started THE INVINCIBLE, I think I like it, it won't be for everyone, it's from a book I've not read but the art style and atmosphere are cool, it's a pretty laid-back game compared to the others, not really open world as it seems to be a lot of walking and scripted events but I don't mind.
  3. Taste the rainbo.....er maybe not......
  4. Obviously, I am a huge retro games player whether for nostalgia or just reliving classics or discovering new ones for the first time I may of missed out on BUT.... When my mind is not dwelling on a million other things or I am not doing something else and I can take a moment to escape THESE are some of the more modern games I've dipped my toes into over the past little while, not listed of course emulation, game DEMOS and Indie games etc. 🤷‍♂️🎮 Sure by now some younger people might certainly consider even some of these "CLASSICS" so I guess we are talking games long after the 8-16-32 bit era 😝 What about you all? Have you enjoyed any "modern" titles lately? 🤔
  5. OF COURSE besides the default, there are the Super Action controllers. Someone once sent me this and I had no knowledge beforehand. Mine is for ColecoVision specifically but works with other 9-pin inputs. JOY-SENSOR by SUNCOM. There were versions for different consoles. Excuse the dust, it's been sitting in the closet, takes some getting used to but I kind of like it.

  7. I saw the plus 4 OR C16 in person, were they U only? Also, I thought those machines were both cost-cutting alternatives to the C64. Yeah maybe pointless overall but I have to say O love the colororing of the C16 over the Biege 64. But again I am not too knowledgeable of those machines.
  8. Digital Eclipse recently released a "director's cut" of the groundbreaking game Karateka that was published originally on the Apple II and later ported to many other platforms. In addition to providing an extensive exhibit of developer Jordan Mechner's development of Karateka and a few other earlier games it also provides a modern refresh of Karateka and one of Mechner's unreleased games.

  9. ASTEROIDS Asteroids was Atari’s first big arcade hit, so it oniy seemed natural that a home console version would follow. While it was impossible for the 2600 to reproduce the vector graphics of the arcade game, this conversion stays true to the gameplay of the original. The same rock-blasting action of the original played out well on all subsequent Atari consoles, and was ripe for interpretation by each of the artists who depicted the game in illustrations. The 5200 version of the game was created but never released because of challenges in adapting to the system’s analog joystick. A special button-based controller was also in the works to improve gameplay but was never finalized.

  10. Today we compare the ported Commodore Plus/4 version (2023) to the original Commodore 64 fan version (2022) on real hardware. How will the Plus/4 hold up against the superior C64? Let's find out.
  11. This 2023 plug-and-play console brings plenty of Atari gameplay to your living room, but it's not perfect. In this video, we run through the top five problems users tend to experience with the GSP, and more importantly, how to correct those problems.
  12. I was totally on the Commodore side of the fence in my early computing days but I always LOVED the design of the Atari 400 and still do!
  13. Always a quality presentation from this channel. My own experience with the brand new Atari ST in 1985. A video full of nostalgia. Join me on this trip down memory lane, where I recreated the scenes of the past using AI and my actual machines. Let's explore this fantastic time period, the Golden Age of video games. Let's have a look at some of the best Atari ST games, including the most outstanding of all: Dungeon Master...
  14. The Atari 2600+ is Atari's newest and oldest system. It plays original Atari 2600 cartridges as well as Atari 7800 games.
