I was so saddened by this news. In my opinion, the Cars' self-titled is one of few perfect debut albums. It's been a lifelong favorite.  Thanks for the music, Ric!

If you're going to do it, make sure to OVERdo it. 

Botany Bay?  Botany Bay?  BOTANY BAY!  Let's take 30 minutes trying to get out of here instead of calling for an immediate beam out!
 

Wow.  A couple of really cool cameos in there. 

So why CD32, 3DO and CD-i but no room for Jaguar?

I no longer own a Amiga CD32, but would love to own ANYTHING AMIGA,however that is unlikely at this point as well. 😢Oddly, I DO own 3DO and CD-i consoles...because the world is cruel. 🤔😜

I'll never own a CDI and I'm fine with that 😉.

I thought you were an Amiga CD32 fan?

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine. 
 

Well that sucks.  I have a very sensitive nose, so that would really bother me too.  

For a long time, something in my cabinet smelled like tacos.  Not a bad smell, but weird.  After months of wondering, I found it by process of elimination when we got new carpets and I had to empty out the cabinet.  It turned out to be a video camera bag that was inside a cardboard box!  
 

No smell that I'm aware of.  Of course, some of the games I play (and especially my gaming skills) smell to high heaven. 

I loved Top Gun!  Never could beat it but was still fun.  I had more issues refueling than landing than anything.  This game always felt like a After Burner wannabe to be.  It's still a fun game.  I only wish Konami would have used their sound chip from Contra and others in this game.

I have a lot of great memories with this game! That's nice gift.

Noooo I love Bullwinkle!!! 😭

I'm already having anxiety just thinking about that! Refueling was hard enough!
Good luck!!

I've had that opportunity before -- to tag along with my wife on her business trip -- and it's awesome.  Enjoy.  Make sure your wife gets out to see the sights too in the evening. 
 

Technicolor barf. 
 

It's great to have you back @MaximumRD

@MaximumRD I basically see two different tracks of Atari technology (up until Lynx). On one side you had the 2600 with all its games and peripherals which begat the 7800. On the other track was the 400/800 computer which spawned the Atari 5200, and later the Atari XE. It would have been nice for the XE to be the all-in-one 7800 Computer Keyboard fully compatible with the library of Atari 8-Bit Computer games and accessories. Instead they gave us an entirely new system to compete for shelf space against the 2600 and 7800, not to mention NES and Sega.

That would have been cool I think, always liked the wacky look of the XEGS, never did end up with one but I have a pretty nice 5200 collection. 

cool . Do it! 

Except for official posts in Atari I/O. We will never post anything intentionally misleading.

Too young.  Simply too young.  I think mentally we all expect to live a long life but hearing things like this make you realize you really need to live everyday to the best quality you can.  My heart, prayers, and sympathy go out to Perry's family and friends. 

This one really shook me to my bones.  52.  That's right in my wheelhouse. 

May he rest in peace. 
 

Happy birthday! 🎂
