No posts from me lately because I couldn't get to this site as Firefox blocked me.
 
More importantly, congratulations on your new job! I hope it leads to less stress & more compensation.
 
Also, good luck with your Subaru restoration.

Hi Marco! The non-forums part of the site has been having some security issues lately. See this thread:
https://forums.atari.io/topic/4465-atari-io-malware-security-warning-issue/
It brings up a warning for even the forums much of the time. When I use my phone browser no warnings appear, so that's how I've been using the site lately. 

Cheers Marco!

I was just thinking of you Marco! Great to see you return! I will do my very best to join you this Tuesday at 9PM 🙌

Stay safe!

That will make it easier for me to watch your show, thanks for the heads up! Good luck with your new schedule.

It looks like it just passed the halfway mark with 22 days to go.
I was fortunate to learn about this effort. I ran a segment on this Kickstarter during last week's show. The responses were positive.

Great game. That box art doesn't do it justice.

I think you should try fixing the TAC 2 or Wico, as I believe they both have leaf switches that can be easily repaired (cleaned or bent back into shape). 

On those stripped screws, cut a piece of wide rubber band and stick it in the hole, then stick the screwdriver in and it should come out. 
I am a big fan of the Flashback joysticks (the wired ones).  I find them all the time at Goodwill, and they work pretty nicely. 

If you'd like an original tested and working, I can sell or trade one cheap. 
 

Congrats...

To your point (somewhat, I think): I've had discussions with other gaming friends about the C64 & some ports that were rushed & turned out awful. By the time the C64's capabilities were truly explored and pushed to some of its limits, it was too late. (There were other factors to Commodore's demise, but I digress).

The more SMB ports I see to other 8-Bit systems the more I believe the collapse of the video game industry and the success of the NES have less to do with tech and more to do with creativity and the philosophy of "what can video games be?". The way the first few waves of NES games reset the way we think about and play video games speaks volumes to what Atari and others should have seen. It was far more in line with being a toy company with games like SMB becoming franchises, than what Atari was doing with a focus on computers and being the next IBM.

GOOD LUCK! I need to work on my high score too! 

Armando scored 6.1MM on his first ship!

The colors.  Blue maze, black background would have gone a long way towards making it look like the arcade version. 
 

The design concept?

I'm glad you are feeling better.  The cold/flu has been pretty brutal this year. 
 

I'd be curious to see whether you receive a flurry of submissions today.

The wed night chat rules!  It's the highlight of trash day. 
 

I'll stop by for about 30 minutes before I prepare for my Twitch show.
