Posting a little late but I consider this as being my personal greatest "adventure"    I was encouraged by Justin to share so though I had not initially thought to do so outside my Facebook timeline I know I am at home here among you all and so I share because I think it is an achievement and despite whatever faults I have I am very proud that tonight we celebrated 15 years together and 13 years of marriage. We went to a great local dining establishment here in town called THE FIXX CAFE. It was delicious and everything went great. Here we are and here is what we had. I had the Pasta Special and a Guinness and Melissa had a Martini  and Halibut Special.

Welcome! Enjoy your time here ! 

Damn man you got skillz! Great idea for a Halloween video, Necronomicon + Genesis (wait, does that make it the book of Genesis?) just awesome work there Atari Creep!      

Agreed.  I wasn't really impressed.  The thing that really gets me is the cartridge format.  Seems like a HUGE concession to the portability of the device that will make 3rd parties recoil away, and the ability to take it with you or play on the TV doesn't seem like it would make for better games.  Are they going to have Pokemon Go-like functionality in all their first party titles now?
 
This just looks like Nintendo being esoteric for the sake of it once more.

I was wondering that about the cartridges format too. There are a lot smaller than I had expected them to be. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I thought it would look more substantial than a DS cartridge. It makes me wonder if people will look at how small it is and think that there's "less in there".
 
Welcome to the forums RawSteelUT!

Congratulations MaximumRD! 15 Years is something to be proud of, that's truly nice that you've been together so long. It's a nice change to see real life outside of gaming. The Fixx Cafe looks great too, I hope you two had a wonderful time

That's probably your best video Creep! I love what you did with that Genesis. Great stuff!

Come see what hell The Creep has unleashed on this earth with.... The NECRONOMICONSOLE!

Hi Scott -- glad to see you come by!  Your site has been invaluable to me more times than I can count, and the 2600 carts I purchased through your site a while back were great -- many thanks.
 
Now that my Art of Atari interview/article is in the rear-view I can once again focus on the new information I learned about Foxbat.  On the advice of the author I also tried contacting one of the film's producers (i.e. one half of "Dark Horse Productions") with the hopes that he might be able to share more information about an Atari licensing agreement, but it's now been a long while with no reply.     So I think I'll just go with what I have.  No doubt I'll be citing your correspondence with Keithen Hayenga, too -- it'll be great to be able to include some of his insight into the project as well!

The info Rom Hunter posted came from me, in an email conversation I had with Keithen Hayenga.  Here's all the current info I know about this title:  http://www.ataricompendium.com/game_library/unreleased/unreleased.html#foxbat
 
 
 

How about Nintendo and Sony with the PlayStation SNES CD add on?

I'm not saying companies don't make the same mistake, I'm saying the majors in the tech industry are far more secretive today because they've learned from industry-crushing mistakes of the past.
 
Smaller companies still do this. You mentioned Blizzard with Titan, that's a great example. The biggest one that comes to mind is the Phantom video game console from Infinium Labs. They announced it in 2003, Wired had it listed as vaporware in 2004, and they milled around through the end of the decade not doing much. What you don't often see are industry leaders, as Atari was at the time, making this mistake over and over and over.
 

 

Here is the blurb:
 
 

One more... Suncom TAC-2.
 
I'd rate this one pretty high.  It has a nice tight feel to it.  Feels very high quality.  I like it better than the Wico's.
 
 

Just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself to everyone. I love all things Atari, and I'm very into retro and modern gaming. My consoles range from pre-crash to Xbox One.
 
I live in the West Michigan area, so if I have some Midwest flavor or tendencies in my posts that's why :-)
 
Hoping to contribute where I can, and looking forward to learning more from other members about this amazing hobby!

Loved EG, every issue was exciting to me. 

WIZARD MODE is the story of Robert Gagno as he rises up the ranks of the international pinball circuit while striving to gain his independence and transcend the label of autism. This is a short film version of our debut feature length documentary of the same name which is available to rent or purchase at: http://www.vimeo.com/wizardmode

And it belonged to Ballblazer before me.

Wow! It's had some great owners. It's in great shape. Thanks!
