  1. I remember that ad! Brings back memories. I remember the Battlezone comic strip ad, too. Fun! :O)
  2. If Atari were smart, and that is a BIG if, they would have made a RISC system like the Atari Jaguar and its predecessors. I wish that they would have someone smart who really knows gaming take over. They guys emulate old stuff. Emulate! They are over-doing old things on the cheap, and that is the problem. Whatever happened to innovation? What happened to real hardware? As I have stated before, emulation is great. But, in the 21st Century, there is too much emulation now. Everything is emulated! Why not try to reverse-engineer some of this older stuff and do it right? They could emulate and use real hardware at the same time, but I believe emulation should be done sparingly. As a last resort. That's if it can't be done on real hardware. It's to the point where the hardware is too cheaply made to the point where it can be chintzy. So, BTB, if you are watching this post, I happen to agree with you about the differences between emulation and real hardware. But, I know these guys can do it right. If they can afford putting up Atari-branded hotels, they can afford a few million euros (after all, they are in France) and create a great system. Hacks! Nothing but hacks hiding behind what used to be a great and dominating name in the video game industry. Balderdash!
  3. Love the purple light above the A7800. Nice. :O)
  4. Happy to meet you, sir. Nice to have you here. :O)
  5. I don't understand why Steve Jobs switched away from RISC in the first place. Apple had a competitive edge then. Well, let's hope that this rectifies things.
  6. That would be nice, but they would consider that deprecated. Unfortunately.
  7. This also brings us to Universal 2 binaries, and they will work with both Intel and ARM at the same time. I was researching this on Apple's site.
  8. Rosetta 2 offers backwards compatibility with Intel-based Apple apps.
  9. They have Rosetta 2 emulation for the ARM-based Macs. I don't know if it will have 32-bit compatibility or not. Unfortunately, probably not.
  10. I have Kung Food, but it is difficult and challenging to play. Crazy premise for a game, though. I would collect Hard Drivin' just for the sake of collecting it. I had it once, along with a Lynx I system. It was robbed from me by a "friend" of my brother's. I put the word "friend" in quotation marks because I am being sarcastic about him.
  11. Yeah. I knew it was over seventy games released for the Lynx, but I did not know exactly how many were released minus the homebrew games. Thanks. That gives me something to shoot for in my own collection for the Lynx. :O)
  12. This is true. I like both revisions of the Lynx. I might get a Lynx I some day, but not soon. They are extremely rare, you know. Of course.
  13. That is a good idea. It would not need emulation then, if done right, to play A2600 games. The only major difference is the A2600 CPU, the 6507, has 28 pins. The 6502 has forty. Each pin has a function.
  14. Gates of Zendocon is a great space shmup. I like it myself.
  15. Yeah. No graphical differences between models. But, the Lynx I looks like a dog bone. I had one once, but it was stolen. Joy.
  16. Checkered Flag is supposedly another bad game, but I have it for collector's reasons.
  17. You know, I am not sure. I think, unless it was a Japanese arcade game, it was exclusive to the SMS.
  18. Well, I don't like Facebook, but I can ask others if they know people that go on FB. Thanks.
  19. No worries. We never intended to do that. We want them repaired. Hence, the inquiry.
  20. That's cool, Justin. I used to have two Jaguars and two CD units. They all fritzed out on me and are needing refurbishing. Hey, Justin, you know a lot on Atari stuff. Where can a person refurb a Jag and CD unit at? I can name a few places, like Dragon's Hoard Gaming in Texas, maybe Best Electronics in California, but I was wondering. Do you or anybody here have that pertinent information? I would be grateful. Thanks. :O)
  21. In Astro Warrior, I made it through Zanoni, Neibiros, and Beelzebub. It gets harder, but practice helps.
  22. I have a Lynx II unit as well. I would like to get a Lynx I unit. I had one once, but my brother's "friends" stole it from me. They took that, an A2600, my copy of Stronghold for A2600 (ultra rare) and Star Wars Episode I Monopoly. They also stole my collection of genuine euro banknotes that I exchanged for dollars at the airport. I was livid with my brother for that one.
  23. I would like to see it if you put a video up. It would be interesting. :O)
  24. They are going to mandate masks in Minnesota Saturday, according to Minnesota Governor Timothy Walz. It could be considered a petty misdemeanor if you are without one. One could be fined up to $1,000.00 if not wearing a mask. I guess they mandated it in thirty other states. Maybe it will work. I hope so.
