I have not used my 1040STE much lately, but it works splendidly. I wish I had a Falcon030 computer, but they cost an arm and a leg nowadays, and they are scarce. I might get a Mega ST soon, but that is up in the air at the moment. Money talks there. Here are more pictures of my collection…

Thanks. There's more coming soon.

These are just a sample of what I own. A taste, if you will. I have roughly 300 games for all my systems and Atari computers, and I am working on an inventory of them all. By the way, My 1040ST is not an STF model, as it may look like that. It is actually an STE model. Just for show-and-tell, that's all. I will post more later on, as I did not realize that I could only post ten photos at a time on a post. Thanks again.

Hey, everybody,
I noticed that I have been on here since 2014. But, I never said my introduction. I will not go into detail about who I am beyond my avatar, but I will say a few things about myself and have a little show-and-tell. I live in Minnesota, where it is extremely cold at this writing. I enjoy sci-fi, drawing and sketching, graphic design, collecting Atari games (of which I will show part of my collection here in a bit), meeting with my friends, and animation. My dream is to be an animated cartoon producer, and to teach others how to create animation who are of low-income status and/or have a disability. I also want to create a game in the future, but that is still in the planning stages.
Here are samples of my Atari game collection. This may take a few posts to put up because there are twenty-one photographs of my collection. Thanks.

I can't wait either.
Very good. -
I thought that there would be something like obstacles in there. Pretty cool idea.
-
Hey, Clint, will there be an enemy component to it as well? For instance, you can have sharks in there, too. Just a thought. Thanks.
-
Well, it looks great already. Keep up the good work, Clint. Thanks.

It wouldn't have fared better. Not under Lore design. They seemed to be another grab the money and slop something together crew.
Yup. You are right about that.
-
Don't get me wrong, but I like the way Highlander looks. I just don't know if it would have fared better as its previous concept as a beat-'em-up title. It might have done better that way, but there were so many titles like that in the 1990s. There would have been stiff competition, especially with Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. It just needed more. Atari were just being cheap.

The joystick looks too limited for a modern machine. I think that they are really going to be in trouble here, especially with the stupid Atari Box crowdfunding idea. Why pay twice for an Atari Box? If you crowd-fund it and then buy it that is essentially what you are doing! It's really a dumb ploy. It has "scam" written all over it. Atari will get rich, and we will get an under-powered game system slapped all together with shoddy parts. I wonder if it will make it into the stores at this rate. It's just all wrong.
They could have still made a retro joystick, but with more features and still make it similar to an A2600 controller. They made it too simple for our times. Unfortunately…

That ain't long winded -- share some more! I think we all love talking Atari stuff here.
I've got a couple of Xonox double enders too: Ghost Manor / Spike's Peak and Artillery Duel / Chuck Norris Super Kicks. Kind of interesting how they have different combinations of the same games. Plus I'm pretty sure they made single game carts too.
Yes. They did. Especially for the ColecoVision. I had like three single cartridges for the Coleco from Xonox. I gave up the Coleco collection so I could concentrate on Atari accessories and games. Xonox was a Minnesota-based company. I find that interesting since I am from Minnesota. Small world.

Just finished eating breakfast on our cape cod vacation and saw an interesting store (Greg's used books), figured I'd kill some time while my wife went into a shoe store. Place was very cool, other than used books they had some records, movies, board games and best of all games. Picked up these carts, all pretty rare. It's not often I find carts I dont have in the wild, especially this many. Owner was very cool also.
I have four of these games: Crypts of Chaos, Math Gran Prix (Atari label), Dishaster, and Pooyan, a rarity in my collection. I have played all of these games at least once, except for Math Gran Prix, which is for kids and I never bothered to play it yet.

Another A2600 game I have is the European title Pick'n Pile. It is rare in the United States because it was made in the European Union. In fact, it was made in Germany. It was created by UbiSoft, the creators of Rayman and Assassin's Creed. I can barely see it on a flat-screen NTSC TV because it is a PAL game, of course. It is visible on there, but full of static from the signal. However, it is playable and in excellent condition. I got it NIB through mail order. Pretty cool addition to my collection. I have a couple of Xonox Double-Enders as well, which are Chuck Norris Superkicks/Artillery Duel and Artillery Duel/Spike's Peak. I really should be posting pictures of my video game collection, since I have at least 239 A2600 video game titles. It took me thirty-five years to get to this point in my Atari collection (from 1982 to present, at this writing). I remember my first games, which were Pac-Man and Combat (which came with the A2600 VCS my family purchased from my aunt, of course). The A2600 console was only $129.99 in 1982. Now, the same system may be worth more. I still have an A2600 Short Rainbow and an A2600 Jr. Sorry for being long-winded, but I love talking Atari stuff.
I will get pictures up soon of my collection, to show and tell. Thanks for letting me share.

This is extraordinary. First-person Pac-Man! Love it. Thanks for showing us, Clint.
Do you know when it will be released? Has Sporadic set up a release date, or is it still up in the air?
-
Excellent graphics, for an A2600 game. I like the premise. Also, you are right, Clint. It is an attractive game.

Holy crap! That's how she normally looks??? I would have never thought of her being Elvira out of costume. She's a beautiful person either way. Thanks for all of the scares and heartthrobs, Elvira, it's been a fun ride.
Yup. That's her. She is a pretty woman, and in her sixties if I might add. I know she has a daughter, too. I read up on it in Wikipedia. Way to go, Cass! I like Elvira in "Pinball Jam," for the Lynx. Fun.

The Jaguar CD unit was partially made by Phillips if I remember correctly.
This is true. Atari did hire Philips to create the CD-ROM unit. It will say it was made by Philips on the back label of the unit where the S/N is. It just needed some more stability with its motherboard design, and it would have been a real contender. It can be a little flaky playing some homebrew stuff at times. However, it plays Atari-made CD-based games well, without crashing. It can be finicky with certain CD titles. But, it was made pretty cheaply, unfortunately. That was Jack Tramiel cutting corners to save some cash, when it really wasn't necessary for him to do that. Thanks for letting me share.
-
Interesting. So, that is who is billed as Andrew Whittaker, from Atari. I never would have guessed. Great game, AVP was, and is. Cool article.
-
I always thought the JagDuo prototype was complete, with the motherboard already installed and populated with components. Nice find, Clint!

I wonder. What if someone decided to cosmetically restore older video game systems and the accessories for those platforms for profit? To my knowledge, this has never been done on a grand scale before. It might be cost-prohibitive, but maybe not. Some of this stuff is forty years old or more, especially Atari 2600 products produced in 1977 for instance. I would love to do something like that. I am not sure how it would travel, however. I am a purist, per se, when it comes to restoring things to their original condition. I bring it up because this model of the Atari Jaguar VR system is beat up, but giving it some TLC to refurbish it for posterity (and to play it, of course) might be something lucrative. Of course, I could be barking up the wrong tree. I am not sure. But, one can dream. Thanks for letting me share.

I like the colors on the Jaguar seen here. The red and black compliment each other nicely. I would probably not do it myself to either of my Jaguars (I have two Jaguar base units and two CD-ROM units each). It looks cool, do not get me wrong. I am personally afraid of taking away from their aesthetic collection value. I do not know if it would be like that. But, I shoot for posterity myself. Don't worry, I am not disrespecting the nifty paint job done on it, Bakerman. It's talented detailing. Great job.

I love the backgrounds in your game here. It is coming along. Thanks again for showing.
