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.

I once had Visual batariBASIC. I should give that a shot again. Thanks. I will also try 7800basic.

That's true, as they can change their minds on the design parameters of the Ataribox at any moment. Nothing's canon yet anyway.

He's also wearing a SW: ROTJ T-shirt. True to form. Cool. Looking forward to seeing SW: TLJ, coming out this December!

We got our first A2600 (and experienced Atari for the first time) from my aunt in 1982. The game system had cost $129.99, at the time, and I believe it was bought from JCPenney. We had Pac-Man, Dodge 'Em, Night Driver, Space War, Combat (of course, as it came with every 2600 then), and Outlaw as the first games in our collection. Over the years, the collection grew to more games. Soon, we had Frogger, Taz, Crystal Castles, and Space Attack to name a few. Fast-forward to Christmas 1987. I received an Atari 7800 from my parents. I was overjoyed. Eventually, my father gave up the A2600 collection and gave it to me. Now, in 2017, I have five Atari platforms (every one made by Atari for the US market except for the A5200) and over 300 games for my Atari platforms combined. Oh, and did I mention that I have two Atari computers? Well, I guess, now I just did. I have a 130XE and a 1040STE computer. There have to be over fifty games for those two in a combined collection alone. Yup. In thirty-five years, I have been quite busy collecting. Thanks.

When I saw WMCJ on a YouTube video for the first time, I was not so impressed. That was until I bought it. Sure, your players get knocked down so easily all of the time, and that bores me, it does seem at times very intuitive to play to a certain degree. That is, at least if you select an easier difficulty level. I agree that it is so bad it is good. At least, it isn't horrible. But, it could be better. I do enjoy the Team Tap, though. That thing is mint. I wish I could get another one for potential eight-player gameplay, but I do not think that there is a Jaguar game that is eight-player. However, I can't remember if there was anyway. Whatever, that's irrelevant. I have NBA Jam: TE also, but never played it at this writing yet. However, I do plan to. I can share my feelings on that later. Thanks.

Yes. I have heard of Carl Forhan and Songbird Productions. He is based in Rochester, Minnesota, approximately 100 miles from where I live. He has done impressive work, especially with "Robinson's Requiem." I really wish, but no one would know where to begin on it, someone could complete "Black ICE/White Noise." Unfortunately, no one knows really where the original source code or master video sources in standard definition are. For all we know, they could have been lost forever. Some mook from Atari could have carelessly thrown them away! Anyway, one can dream. I am glad that we have what we have acquired so far for the Atari Jaguar, CDs and cartridges alike. I think that the Jaguar was underrated and, of course, under-marketed. Ah, what could have been… Thanks for letting me share.

That's mint. I love that retro VCR and the TV. It brings back memories.

Oh. OK. I am glad of that fact. "Ataribox" sounds tacky to me anyway.

I agree, but probably not, as Microsoft would be all over that infringement like bees to honey. XD

To tell you the truth, I do not favor the dedicated consoles, like the Flashbacks and other systems, that use emulation to play games. To an extent, I want to see game systems using real, RISC-based hardware with dedicated co-processors that give those systems some power. I like the idea of downloadable content for gaming (it is the trend nowadays; after all, this is the twenty-first century), but I think that newer game systems should somewhat stray away from optical media in favor of more flash-based and secure digital media. These solutions are not only more durable, but hold more content. This means larger games to play with bigger worlds to explore. At least, that is the plausible theory anyway. I think, though, that in some instances games have graphically advanced too far. They look too realistic. I believe that the over-realism can cause some sacrifice in gameplay. Too much processing power can go to the graphics. I like retro gaming. I like some realism, too. But, I think that there should some balance at the same time as well. That's my take on the modern gaming scene. It's excellent, don't get me wrong. But, I think it could be even better. Thanks again for letting me share.

I am sure you have probably seen them by now, but I am going to post these pictures anyway. Behold the Ataribox: It does look, even without the woodgrain, like a sleek, modern-looking A2600 case. It is even elevated on the top. The black/red design reminds me of the Vader A2600. It is definitely impressive-looking, cosmetically speaking. I hope it performs as well as it looks. Thanks.

That does not surprise me about those prices, which are more expensive in America since the US dollar is worth less than the euro right now and has been for about fourteen years (I check the spot prices of the two currencies regularly). But, I hear you. They are getting expensive because in retail and auction sites they are getting almost impossible to find. I have been a thirty-four year long collector of Atari games, and I can see that the scarcity is there for most of them. In America, a stock Falcon030, as an example, can fetch USD$2,500.00. Notice I said just stock. People want these things. Typical rule of supply and demand, I guess.
