    I'm still reading it.. I did not know Psygnosis was working on a dev kit !
    Best quote so far " If Atari had
    understood that the games were the business model and
    invested appropriately, then those hardware bugs could
    have been found earlier, they could have had more launch
    games, that‘s what they could have done differently.”

    I just tried to ask Bruce Carso if the Jaguar CD development folder he showed me when I spent 3 weeks down there survived the recent house fire and he said he didn't remember it... He is getting old. I'll have to call him and trigger his memory.
    It was a huge folder containing the entire development of the Jag CD, from initial sketches, emails between the plastic molding company ( somewhere down south, I believe ) and Phillips... just EVERYTHING! I sat on his couch and thumbed through it for a few hours. There were drop tests; It failed like 7 out of 10... they had a time of it.. there were emails regarding the software development timetable and lists of current titles and stages of their development... you name it..
     
    I'll give him a call and find out what happened to it..

    I always like to watch these videos to see what other people consider impressive games on the 2600.  It's a cool list of 2600 games and he includes my most favorite version of Frogger.

    This one was played so much on one station in the 70's that I could not listen to this song when I posted it, I also waited over 30 years before I listened to that radio station again.

    This song was so overplayed and worn out I cringe when I hear this song and immediately change stations.

    I can't think of any songs off the top of my head, but I do have a food dish -- chicken fried steak.
    This was my go-to breakfast for who knows how long until my eldest son was old enough to share my food. Every time we went out for breakfast, that's what he wanted, so I ended up ordering it to share it with him since he wasn't big enough to eat it on his own. After a while, I got tired of it and ordered something else for myself. We took home the leftover chicken fried steak. My eldest is now 23, and I have yet to order chicken fried steak breakfast for myself.
    Sorry for derailing this music thread with a food response 😂

    This reminds me of when I first got married.  My wife and I were saving to buy a house.  We lived right next to a Fred Meyer store.  So we'd buy the 3 packs of Fred Meyer take/bake pizzas because they were cheap.  NOT like a Papa Murphy or what you might expect now, these were essentially about the same quality of frozen pizza only refrigerated.  Anyway, once we finally bought a house....NEVER AGAIN with those lousy cardboard pizzas!  🙂

    Ha! We went through the same phase. I bought frozen pizza when they were on sale a couple of times and have not done it again. If I want cheap pizza now, I just go to Costco.

    Both Hatari and Steem support PC controllers, just find the Joystick setting and select the Xbox controller that's plugged in.
    Don't bother with MAME/MESS since the emulation there isn't good.  RetroArch does have a core for Hatari...

    I had it set up a while ago to play ST games (after I sold my real 1040STFM).  But I have a different PC now.  It took me a bit of time to get MESS up and running for 7800 "Beef Drop" challenge yesterday. 
    I'll take a quick look later this week for the ST again.  It isn't too hard.  You'll need whatever BIOS files are necessary, and there are full archives of those on archive.org.

    DegasElite reacted to Justin in Which Star Trek character do you need a hug from?   
    Janeway should’ve been dragged in and courtmartialed for what she did with Tuvix. Abominable. They could’ve Thomas Rikered Tuvix and returned the other back to Tuvok and Neelix. Nobody thought to take a deep breath, do some research and figure this out? Just unreal. Says a great deal imo about Voyager that Tuvix became one of the top episodes for reasons other than what the writers intended.
