    I know you frown upon screenshots, but it was the best I could do since I'm using a simple laptop. I really need to get a gaming laptop, but that's a ways off. 29,030

    Unfortunately, I've had internet issues recently so I haven't been able to submit. Still, it's good to be back!

    Unless you're playing Dragster, in which case it's over in a matter of seconds! 😆

    I can definitely say that Champ Games has a way with their games. They did an amazing job with Scramble and Super Cobra Arcade, so when I found out about Turbo Arcade, I had to purchase it. The demo showed that it was as close to the arcade game as possible, but the full version had even more options which added to the replay value. Truly an amazing game.

    I haven't been here in way too long.  Unfortunately, things have not been well.

    The person who introduced me to the joy of the Atari 2600, my mother, passed away on September 9th, 2021 at the age of 71.

    She will be forever remembered as the reason I love Atari, but even moreso as a loving mother to me.

    I love you, mom.

      I'm so sorry about the loss of your mom.  It isn't ever easy.  Hold on to those good memories as those can never be taken away from you.

      I'm sorry for what has happened, I cannot imagine what that must be like. We're all glad you're here and it's very good to see you again Lauren.

      Thanks both of you.  I can't believe it's close to three years since she passed.  I was already living on my own when she passed, so housing wasn't an issue.  It was just that she was the last member of my family I had (after my father passed in 2010, we pretty much estranged from his side of the family.)

      Fortunately, my BFF and her family have stepped in, saying that I'm officially part of their family.  So it's like one generation ended and a new one began.

    I joined here in 2018, but I never did an introduction? How silly of me! Any rate, here goes... Hey there, I'm Lauren Tyler. Been playing Atari since birth if you can believe it. Even in this day and age with consoles like the Nintendo Switch, the PlayStation 5, and high-powered gaming PCs, nothing beats popping in a classic Atari 2600 cartridge. What they lack in graphics and sounds they make up for in gameplay! Furthermore, you can use a bit of imagination to make it more fun if you ask me! I'm hoping to post here more often!

    It's been WAAAAY too long since I was here, but I'm back and better than ever! Here's my submission: 17,180 During my first effort, I had to evacuate, so that really put a damper on things.

    You motivated me to download an Atari 7800 emulator onto my laptop so I could join the fun! Truth be told, on the second-to-last lap, I had just run out of time when I coasted over the start/finish line, qualifying me for the final lap. Luck of the draw! Oh yeah, my score is 65,000

    Sorry about the small video size, but I can't figure out for the life of me of how to get a better resolution out of Fusion.

    When I first saw Tetris, I had absolutely NO idea what I was supposed to be doing! I tried playing it in the arcade, and less than half a minute later, I got the Game Over screen! It wasn't until I got my first Game Boy that I finally learned to master the game that would serve as a huge addiction for everyone everywhere! That was nearly thirty years ago, now look how far we've come!

    Hi! Long time no see! 😉
  32. Lauren Tyler
    Long time no post... Maybe tonight I'll try to hook up my Flashback and see if I can get something.

    Time to boot up Stella and give this one a shot!
