Ah, yes! The Atari Space Age Joystick! I have only seen it once in a picture from an Atari poster in the 1980s when the A5200 was still on the retail shelves. Classic!

Nice restoration job. That is looking pretty good. I do stress the word "PRETTY!"

My favorite Atari arcades are, most definitely, Marble Madness and Crystal Castles. I always loved those two games. Been playing them since the 1980s, for sure.

Yeah, I see what you mean. No worries and definitely no rush.

I looked at the ABS file and burned it to show on a Jag. This, again, is great work! I never doubted that the Jag could do something like this. So, are there any updates on progress with the project? Has there been more work on it?

Nice! I like this time-lapse pattern.

If only it had a battery backup system to save your place in the game as well. Well, at least there are warps. The original Crystal Castles had that as well. Three of them. I used to religiously play that video game in the arcades. The Trak-Ball made it even more fun. Ah, those were the days… But, anyway, if I am able to, I would not mind getting a copy of this unofficial homebrew sequel. I only say unofficial because Atari did not produce it first. But, it does show what the A7800 is actually capable of. The graphics actually look extremely impressive. I wonder if Franz X. Lanziger, the creator of Crystal Castles, would object to a Crystal Castles Arcade facsimile for the A7800? It would look much more detailed than the XE version, I would think. It could almost be a carbon copy with the A7800's capabilities. I think it would be a brilliant addition to the line up of games for the venerated ProSystem. I would buy it!

Well, I hope that he gets better. I would like to get the XM add-on when it comes out. It seems to be the Cat's Meow (no pun intended, Atari Jaguar lovers like myself), and I would love to have it when it is mass-produced. I would not wish that kind of of thing on my worst enemy. My great-grandmother passed because of congestive heart failure at 94. I can somewhat empathize with what Mr. Vendel is going through. My condolences to him and hopes for a speedy recovery.

Well, I am sorry you feel that way. I will be further careful about my words from now on, but let it be in the records on this. I just trust Atari.io more implicitly than I would ever AtariAge. Truth be told. I am sorry if that goes down lumpy with others.

I have been wondering about that XM add-on. Curt Vendel was supposed to come out with it years ago. I know he has been sick, but come on. It would help if he made some headway on the project.

Agreed.

I wouldn't mind playing it, but it's sold out on AtariAge. I don't know if they will make more either. They are like that. Well, here's to wishing anyway.

No worries! I got it to work. Stephen from AtariAge gave me the files and showed me how to load them. Thanks anyway.

UPDATE: I found some interesting information on Turbo-BASIC XL. Here is the link: https://atariwiki.org/wiki/attach/TURBO-BASIC%20XL/Kurzreferenz_zur_TURBO-BASIC_XL-Erweiterung.txt It is mostly in German, but also a lot of the files are in English. There you go. Thanks.

Hi, all, Does anyone have access to palettes that simulate the Atari 8-bit graphics schemes on Photoshop CS3 Extended for Mac OS X? I have that for my iBook G4. Thanks.

It looks more like arcade Zaxxon than the original A2600 port of Zaxxon did. I like it. Thanks.

So, the Takara Dynovisor HMD is compatible with the Jag. Cool! Are there any other VR systems from a third-party that can do this with the Jag? Sorry, I am not keen on VR yet. I am just excited that there is at least one VR system that works with our venerated Atari platform here.

Furthermore, I think that Tempest creator David Theurer would enjoy it if he saw this. It looks so much like the original case. Kind of like an homage to those intrepid designers at Atari. Again, well done. Kudos!

I am liking this! Loving the authentic retro style, as it reproduces the look of the original almost exactly. Great work!

True. But, I hope that the next name is a little better because "AtariBox" sounds like it almost infringes on "XBox." I know it doesn't, but the names sound too similar right now anyway.

Yeah, I agree. Myst was something else on the Jaguar. It was mint. I have it and still, twenty-plus years later, have not solved every puzzle. Excellent RPG.

Me, too.

Oh, yeah. The programmer of the game "Space Rocks". I will check his site out. Thanks.

Say, does anyone know how to find an English tutorial on Turbo-BASIC? I found something, but it is in Polish. Thanks for everything else, as it will come in handy.

I am going to get the PDF from this web site to study it. Thanks again, folks.
