I downloaded the recent update. Thanks for putting this up, Peter. I still wonder if CC65 is packaged with this. I assume that it is.
-
Hey, Peter, Does CC65 come packaged with this? I like the Atari artwork the best out of the four systems depicted here.
-
You're welcome, Gianna. They do in my area, anyway. I am sure that they would in your area, too.

"Puppacinos." That's pretty cool, Gianna. When I go with my friends out to the bank and restaurants, they bring their two dogs with. They get regular dog treats from the bank, but ice cream from Dairy Queen and Culver's, playfully called "pup cups." Those are free for the dogs at both locations. That is a pretty cool incentive. I like my friends' dogs. They are rescued dogs. One was homeless for a while, and the other was abused. He was taken from his original owner by police. They were fostered together and then they came to be with my friends. Fun pups, they are.

Cool. Seems like a good-natured dog. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

I have a cat. Her name is Yoda. Originally, she was named Diamond. My landlord's son rescued her from a crack house and had her for a while. Eventually, I received her and I take care of her now. She is approximately 12-13 years of age and she is a Himalayan. Very fluffy cat, and nice to me. But, she is a little skittish around other people and can be territorial. I think that she was affected by the drug use in her old place. You can say that she was a rescued cat. Here she is. Thanks for letting me share. 🙂

In 6th Grade I Wrote My Own Atari Strategy Guide. Here it is:

I also downloaded it in the past week. Really well thought out. To think that this became the framework for Atari.io is very interesting. Thanks for the data, Justin. Appreciated. 🙂 -

It looks like it is well thought out and took a lot of devotion to produce. Cool! Thanks, Justin, for sharing. 🙂 -
Yeah. Welcome to the forum, Gianna. Happy to have ya here. 🙂

Things that can remake Atari: New management A RISC-based system with original architecture, solid OS, and great games (minus the emulator they now call the VCS that we see playing crappy graphics) An effective marketing plan Get Fred Chesnais out! If it can be saved… Bummer.
-
I know what can save Atari. Competent management. They don't have it! Frederic Chesnais clearly does not know what he is doing. I think that he is very far removed from reality.

I never really liked Mario 64 and I think it's because of Cybermorph
DegasElite replied to Justin's topic in Atari Jaguar
I don't know. But, if you look at the Jaguar Gamer's Guide, if you can find one, every planetary system has a password. if I remember correctly, they are numerical passwords that can be entered using the keypad. I have not played it in a while, but I think that it is like that. Thanks for letting me share. -
Interesting stuff. I will keep checking in here. Thanks. 🙂

Favorite UNDERAPPRECIATED & FORGOTTEN '80s Movies?
DegasElite replied to Justin's topic in Television & Movies
Jennifer Connelly is also in the movie "Phenomena." It is like a horror-suspense movie. -
My three favorite all-time Atari arcade games are: 1. Crystal Castles (first and foremost) 2. Marble Madness (a close second) 3. Food Fight (still very good and harder with the arcade controller) I always loved Crystal Castles because it is different. It is like 3D Pac-Man, only with competition. It has a mascot (Bentley Bear), and it is challenging. I never beat the game, but came close a couple of times to Level 10 (THE END). I always wanted to beat that game. It's really fun.

What grocery stores did your family shop at growing up?
DegasElite replied to Justin's topic in Off Topic
When I lived in Indiana for two years, we went to Tysen's (a local IGA), Jewel, and Meijer. We even went to Sam's Club for a while. My girlfriend's parents had a membership there, and we were guests. That was around 2004-06. But, I am glad I am back in Minnesota. It has better fishing up here. -

DegasElite replied to Justin's topic in Off Topic
When I lived in Saint Paul, MN, we shopped at a chain called Country Club. It lasted only until the 1980s or 1990s. Then, they folded. There was another chain called Applebaum. It later became Rainbow Foods. Then, Robert Mariano got a hold of it and ran it to the ground. He owned Roundy's in Wisconsin. They used to double and quadruple the amount of coupons you had to get even better deals on sales. Actually, when Mariano closed Rainbow, it was still profitable. Imagine that. Stupid financial move, IMHO. -

Fright Night is another one, with Christopher Sarandon as the vampire, Susan Sarandon's ex-husband. I think that came out in 1988. -

Legend with Tom Cruise. One not mentioned yet. -
Emulation is easier, but it needs to advance. It is slower than actual hardware, but can still be convenient especially if you cannot afford the original hardware. Even of it is too hard to find anymore. I still believe in real hardware, but what can anyone do? I think that, to preserve the old stuff, emulation is cool. But, we should get resources together to reverse-engineer the old stuff and try to reproduce it as close as possible without emulation. Then, we can really advance in technology in the long run, and possibly be able to repair the older stuff much more easily. It can even help with backwards-compatibility on newer systems if the older stuff is applied the best way. Emulation works, but real hardware can as well. So, try to have a bit of both. Please everybody and be the best of both worlds. That might work for now. Like I said, I love MAME, MESS, and OpenEMU, but the real stuff does run better. Not an argument, really, but a compromise. Thanks.

Atari ST Essentials
DegasElite replied to Atari 5200 Guy's topic in Atari ST / TT / Falcon Computers
That's it! That would do it. -
Atari ST Essentials
DegasElite replied to Atari 5200 Guy's topic in Atari ST / TT / Falcon Computers
Right-click where it says 499 Items on the PDF option on the web page. You will be able to download all as a ZIP, or right-click on PDF on Firefox. It should give you the option to download as a ZIP as well. Be warned: it is 1.3 GB in size. If you have a fast Internet connection, and I assume that you do, it will download in 10-20 minutes. Thanks. -

Understood. I downloaded the set. I can use these as a reference to play my ST games. Thanks.
