Hey thanks for the update, great seeing you back here!

Here is the follow up review by GenX GrownUp OK even I think this is pretty cool to see, as someone burned out on the overly focused 2600 which, make no mistake I LOVE, great to see some other classic Atari platforms represented, hopefully, this is the start of seeing more products focused on more Atari platforms. NGL this is way better than my skeptical ass expected. Note at around the 30-minute mark stay tuned, he runs a bunch of games NOT included using ROMS off the SD card slot 😉

Gotta admit, not a game I would have expected to be ported 😝amazing work all the same.

Current wallpaper on ASUS laptop. Just really liked the look especially the more I look around at the details.

Gatchaman – Battle of the Planets Team just chillin'......

🤨 The obvious set up is obvious. Anyway..... Atari Portal by Leonardo Miranda

Nice controller 😲

Those are all great and exactly what I was hoping for! I used to dream about getting all these things as impossible as it was back then! 😍

Simply not possible as we have dealt with many such people over time and will continue to enforce the rules of conduct here. A lot goes on here behind the scenes believe me. Anyone exhibiting any type of "gatekeeper" behaviour here is quick to realize it is not tolerated and this is not the community to try it. END OF. We welcome all equally but are very strict about extinguishing any cross-forum drama if someone has a bad history elsewhere that is known, we are wary of such people and do monitor them perhaps a little closer 😉 but in the end, all will be judged by their own merits, all are expected to conduct themselves according to HOUSE RULES (see link below) so, anyone who hasn't yet would do well to familiarize themselves with them, I do not think it's particularly difficult to be a productive contributing and positive member here, by the same token we will not become the "Island of Misfit toys" of forums either.

Yes, it's obvious, let's just leave it at that. We don't discuss "WOKE" here.

Hah that was great and cool to see in modern times, somewhat related are a couple of animated Treks in the style of FILMATION but done recently for Voyager and TNG. I don't remember if they've been posted before:

One thing I loved about classic video is all the great advertising, you know wacky and weird stuff by Sega to hard edge "Exteeeeeme" type of advertising you got from Turbo graphics and Neo Geo and even the family-friendly Nintendo stuff or all the advertising Atari 2600 that helped you visualize all the fantastic adventures, characters and scenario's that maybe didn't translate completely with the stick figured pixels in the games, but we still loved them all. They were a work of art in themselves and you just don't see as much of that in modern-day coverage of Video games with most being on STEAM or DLC on consoles. But they always fired up my imagination or made me laugh but either way they enticed me and made me think of the possibilities seeing those print ads in Video games Magazines like Electronic gaming or even ads in my favourite comic books. Let's use this thread to share the memories of video games and Computer tech that grabbed our attention from the 70's through to the 2000's. I'll kick off with a few examples. PLEASE NO PARODY OF FAKE ADS, keep it real with Ads that actually appeared in publications (Magazines /Comics / Newspapers etc)

Occasionally we get a craving for a place we shouldn't for sure, here it is called Asian Pear but we went out of convenience, crowded, sub-par, we are done with that place now though, once you've experienced so many better places old ones get pushed farther down that list but we are constantly trying to find new places to add. We actually feel bad giving a place overall a thumbs down but we got to be honest and try to be fair.

Norman''s diner 😎🍺☕️🍔Tried out Normans Diner. Sadly very meh, won’t return, presentation, atmosphere were great, food “looked” good but tasted no where near matching, so bland, don’t know if low quality ingredients but even I could prepare better-tasting food and that is saying something 🤷but you don’t know until you try so it’s off the list.

Welcome @Wumperdinkle Sniy , hope you enjoy your time here, I'm "OldSchoolRetroGamer" on Atariage as well as "MaximumRD" on Videogamesage and here obviously, if I had a do-over I'd be MaximumRD everywhere online (after my Youtube channel) but you know, early days, took a while to settle on something 🤷‍♂️😝I hope you will enjoy the vibe/community here. 😎

There will always be some that will collect anything with an ATARI name, logo on it. It's not for me but I do like the look of it and hope with feedback they can improve some compatibility and features by release.

😲Very kind of you sharing all your amazing work with us. Well guess I will be adding a D r Clu Game Hacks folder to my Harmony cart! 👍

Cool hacks, great ideas, thanks for sharing!

It happened only once before a while back on a weekend and so took 24 hours to resolve the issue and yes it is INVISIONS responsibility to prevent such problems. Service is garbage with so many things these days, like how hard is it to have a notification in place as a reminder tickets are due to expire and resolve it before it happens? The fact that it has happened before is even more a reason they should have been more prepared, like literally the hosts job.

Our site has always been its own thing, we've peacefully co-existed for some time and to even claim we are a "replacement" would send the wrong message to Albert as well as being an outright lie. Regarding the current state of atariage, it is by no means "shut down" while it's currently displaying an error it is a separate issue that is nothing more than bad timing. Here is a message Albert has linked to a RED WARNING BANNER on the main site just for information for those having an issue connecting. Albert sent this out to members in bulk as well.

Thought this was cool as someone is always curious about blending old and new tech especially creative uses for it. NOTE: Was not sure exactly what section to post this in so move accordingly if required.

It makes perfect sense, it is why we knew there was a place for another Atari (and other classic gaming platforms ) site, I can assure you all of us staff and everyone here are very protective of this community and feel the exact same way. 👍The more people feel welcomed here and are comfortable to share and discuss all things retro the more we like it. We do try to keep it light and fun and never at the expense of others, we want this to be an escape from the drama and outside turmoil as much as possible.
