    Hey everyone, thanks for your concern! I'm doing great. I had to evacuate my home, which will be without power for the foreseeable future. Where I evacuated to also got hit pretty hard and we have been without power, cable, internet access and cell phone reception until recently. Everything is good here and I have plenty of supplies. We will continue on! Apologies for my lack of participation and delay in posting our Squad Challenge. I'm currently without my Ataris and any game system other than Lynx which I brought with me. I will check into the site as often as I can. Thanks again everyone for being awesome and please know everything is okay here. Best wishes to all!

    DegasElite got a reaction from Justin in A version of Rampage that doesn't get a lot of mentions is Activision's 1989 port on   
    I think Rampage for the A7800 plays even better than the NES version. At least, it's truer-looking to the arcade with no added intermissions. The NES version has a chart of how much damage is done to the United States, while the arcade version doesn't have that. That is why i think the A7800 looks closer in that respect, plus the sprites do like the Muppet Babies. But that doesn't detract much from the game, at least to me.
    Atari were great at making the levels in arcade copies close proximities to the arcade counterparts in most games. That is why I like Atari games so much. Thanks for letting me share. :O)

    Wait, they don't still do that? 😅
    TBS was still on "Turner Time" the last time I tuned in. LOL!

    I remember when it was called WTBS and it was channel 17 in Atlanta. It was a local channel there, not unlike WGN in Chicago.

    DegasElite reacted to RickR in It has arrived!   
    The mail person left me a personal note apologizing for marking it "delivered" the day prior and delivered the box yesterday.  All is well.  Never panic, things tend to work out.
    The cost is $180.  While that is expensive, it's much less daunting than the cost of the actual "must-have" games at this point.  Also, Jag emulation stinks, so it feels like a very good option to me.

    I would love one of those carts. They are just so expensive. I had heard about $200.00 for one.
