I hope so, too. Thanks.

Did anyone have one of these?  I still have mine!  It has a Scooby Doo short movie!

I have had Fisher-Price Movie Viewers that had film cartridges you could put into the viewer. They had Mickey's Trailer, Cinderella, and even a film cartridge of the Disney cult classic The Black Hole. I think I still have mine, but haven't seen it in a while. However, some mook may have stolen it, too. I don't know. Thank God for my Atari collection, which is intact.

[What Atari 8 Bit Games Do You Recommend?]

Oh, yeah! I forgot about the ST version. It needs tweaks, but it's a good game.

[What Atari 8 Bit Games Do You Recommend?]

It is the closest-looking to the arcade version. This is true. I wonder if there will be a Crystal Castles for the A7800? That might be the most definitive version, I would think.

[What Atari 8 Bit Games Do You Recommend?]

Tapper. Straight up. It's a cool game. I have it for my A2600 Jr. and the Atari 8-bit. It's challenging, too.

[The History of the Atari Lynx & its Games]

I have two stock Lynx systems. A Lynx 1 and 2. I also have a slew of games for them. They are a great addition to my collection.

[LNX to LYX ROM Converter for the ElCheapoSD.]

I see. The LYX file is header-less. I have seen this before, but must have forgotten. Sorry about that. I have seen this converter before on this site. I like studying these things myself. But, I have never converted a file in this manner before. I wish I could help. Sorry about that in advance.

[LNX to LYX ROM Converter for the ElCheapoSD.]

I see. Thanks.

[LNX to LYX ROM Converter for the ElCheapoSD.]

Interesting. I hope it works out for you to get your games converted. The LNX header must be for a physical game, and I assume the LYX header is for emulation. I hope you can do it accurately anyway.

[William Shatner turns 93!]

If it's any consolation, I met the late James Doohan once. I was almost 13 years old and I gave him a greeting card. He shook my hand. He was giving autographs at the time at a convention. That was back in 1987. Too bad he eventually passed away. but, he was pretty ill in his old age. RIP, Scotty.

[Comfort Games, the ones you keep going back to.]

My comfort games are "Taz" and "Crystal Castles" for the Atari 2600. I loved them as a kid and still do.

I also have duplicate 2600 and 7800 games I've thought about parting with but not many.

My advice to you: If you have a lot of irreplaceable Atari stuff, keep that as much as you can. You can sell duplicates of games if you wish. But, as an Atari collector, I would keep the rarer stuff in your Atari collection. That may soon become a REAL commodity.

[Movie Cart]

I had heard of video demos for the Atari 5200, but never could find the topics about them.

[Movie Cart]

Interesting demo. Very good for an 8-bit console. Thanks for showing.

[Movie Cart]

It probably could. I once saw a demo of a clip from "Tron" on a Side3 cartridge. So, video can be streamed on the A8.

[Atari Homebrew Awards]

Agreed, Justin.

[Star Trek's - Gary "Sovol" Graham, known for his roles in several offshoots of ‘Star Trek’ has passed away.]

He also played Sikes in "Alien Nation," on TV. Interesting. It's too bad.

[Your experience with "cutting the cord"]

I use cable only for Internet. Ever since August 2023, I watch ONLY over-the-air television (and maybe my DVDs at times). Sure it's spotty, and I don't get all of my channels all of the time. But, it's definitely cheaper than cable or satellite TV. I am probably saving over $1,000.00 a year by not getting cable TV. Free is free, meaning no money needs to be spent on the signal. I like free. So, there you have it. Thanks for letting me share.

[What are your top Five Atari 7800 Games?]

Honorable Mentions:

• Crossbow
• Sentinel

[What are your top Five Atari 7800 Games?]

My top five Atari 7800 games are these:

• Food Fight
• Midnight Mutants
• Alien Brigade
• Kung-Fu Master
• Rampage

These games have a real WOW factor to them, at least for me.

[Atari Jaguar dev kit before the Alpine?]

There were other development systems, like Felix and I believe one called Rapier. But, whether or not they were before Alpine I do not know.

[Anyone grow up with those all in one stereo cabinets?]

My family had an all-in-one stereo at one time, with a record player, radio and 8-track player. We eventually got rid of it. The record player was needing repairs, but everything else worked on it. I would listen to Chicago on the 8-track tape player. Glorious sound.

[Who is still rocking VCRs? 🤔]

I still use VCRs from time-to-time. I also have amassed a huge collection of VHS tapes. It's a blast from the past, so to speak. Fun to watch.

[Which "era" of 7800 games do you prefer?]

This is true.

[Which "era" of 7800 games do you prefer?]

I liked the Third Era. Midnight Mutants is a great game, and so is Scrapyard Dog. Bigger games meant greater challenges. Those were definitely big games.
