Thanks. 🙂 Some local girl that collects Switches ended up snagging it.

Haha I forgot to update the thread. Thanks for the ping!

Yes very cool, I have on my Playlist for tomorrow. 😄

Very great read Lance. 🙂 Sorry they had you holding the bag and left you so much trouble. But we all appreciate your hard work in keeping the Atari legacy alive. 😄

Glad you got everything sorted out. Glad to see you around. 🙂

Good work, haha, the 'tasteful' classic for almost 40 years. 😛

Very nice. 🙂

Very cool.🙂 Which one did you go with the AES or the MVS?

Played it on my Mega STe a while back. Blew me away! 😄 dml's Atari Game Tools do a great job along with your coding to make a great smooth experience I would have killed for on the ST back in the day. If only I had a three button pad to play it with. 😛 You guys are showing the Amiga fanboys our lovely ST is alive and kicking. ❤️

Very nice! Very clean design. 🙂 The Halo 2600 poster is really neat. Never saw one.

I never heard of this Dogcow either. 😅 Though I was never a Mac user. My friend though was. He got the Mac when the primary school was throwing them away to upgrade to Apple IIGS models. I guess a Dogcow looks good on a Monochrome screen though. 😂

Very cool. I never heard of this name for a 5200.

You guys have alot of cool stuff! My 800 is some alleged programmer used unit. It has a momentary switch on it, with some handmade RAM upgrade card. Joe DeCuir I think, and Ben Heckerdorn looked at it once, before I got it. Cool, maybe? 😛 Here is the weird 256K RAM card. Similar to Axlon maybe?

Very cool. I did not know about this. 🙂

I always remember seeing this one. 😛

Agreed, very cool. name. I was going to say, "Bummer, I don't have a TI to play it on." Then saw you have binaries for 15 different platforms, so I actually can give it the old college try! 🙂 Congrats on the new release. Always a good feeling! 😄

I would be willing to let them use Jinny. 😛 I think she'd make a good mascot. 😄

These look like a Suzo Happ or Sanwa style joystick build. You'd screw the microswitches around the base, then connect the jumper wires from your arcade cabinet to the microswitch terminals.

Welcome to the party pal. 😎👍

Can't wait to read it Lance. 🙂

More Bubsy is always good. Good to see you around these parts @D r Clu. 😎

Haha yes, there were book like the ones from Abacus pretty much at the onset of the ST, but you still had to buy them. 😅 Jack was giving tons of value to the consumer, but...the software houses, well, at least they had lots of clever guys, and could figure things out themselves. Though the elegant design of the ST helped there. 😉 Honestly, I think Jack's goal was to just undercut Apple. I dunno if he had a vendetta against Steve Jobs or Steve Wozniak, or he just wanted to flex, but I think he succeeded in giving a killer alternative to the Mac, he just didn't have a plan besides "Make the Jackintosh." 😄 Jack's Plan Make the ST. Undercut Apple ??? Profit? (Maybe?)

Good video on all the acquisitions and splittings. I knew about the stuff up to the Jaguar, and the sale to Hasbrolla, but I did not know the rest. 😄

Exactly that. I heard 1000 times, Jack hated games, which for buying Atari was certainly not the best opinion. 😅I admire the hell out of him though for surviving Auschwitz, starting from Typewriters, and building a computing empire, even if that empire eventually crumbled. I really admire the drive to give the common man a powerful computer with the beautiful ST line at a fraction of the price of everyone else. From all accounts though he was a nice guy, but also disagreeable and bull headed if you didn't play ball his way. Like you said one bad game can spoil the batch, or the reputation of the company. That goes with another problem. Atari would have guys like Shiraz who make amazing machines, but then....not follow up and support that hardware. Software sells machines, which I don't think they understood. The one caveat to that was the 520ST pack that came with a ton of software, but I think that was mostly just getting old budget stock out the door honestly. 😅 When they had the software, in the case of the Jaguar, they didn't push it the right way. At this point it's hindsight blah blah, but still I am thankful we have these beautiful machines. They are the one gift that Atari (from all 3 eras) has given us.

Agreed great mix of 7800 games, and works out to only $8.32 each!
