DegasElite reacted to Atari 5200 Guy in My Atari Corner February 3

I found this by our dumpster a while back but never figured out what to do with it…

But tonight I figured it out. I have a few console models where I have duplicate machines. It didn’t take me long to figure out which one I wanted to setup.

Tada! Instant Atari fun! And it has small shelves on the sides, too!

Although one small shelf was missing. I couldn’t find it but maybe someday I can make one.
So the 5200 has a permanent place now along side the Junior model. I only have one 5200 console but it needed a permanent home. I know constantly hooking and removing it every time I wanted to play was not helping it.

Ok, enough talk. I’m going to go play Atari today. You should do the same. It’s good for your mental health.

Release Date: February 2, 2024
Retail: $8.99
Developer: Bob Decrescenzo
Publisher: Atari Age
Synopsis:
Trapped in a bizarre, alien high-tech structure and surrounded by robots, your Humanoid moves from cell to cell as you face a band of deadly mechanical monsters. Odd marching skeletons clunk toward you. Robotic tanks trundle into position. Face your enemy and fire, or be doomed by their fatal touch! Eliminate all automatons and proceed to the next assembly.
Stay alert! Your enemies now fire deadly blasts. In Berzerk, all walls absorb shots from you or the robots. In Frenzy, some cell walls ricochet the blasts--both yours and the robots--so watch where you fire! Worst of all is Evil Otto, the bouncing menace who passes through walls and destroys any creature on contact. It's a bizarre battle for survival as Evil Otto bounces toward you! Will you make it?
Atari 7800 veteran Bob Decrescenzo brings arcade classics Frenzy and Berzerk home to the 7800, complete with all the details you'll find in the arcade games. Both games are reproduced with careful attention to detail to match their arcade counterparts as closely as possible. The original speech from the arcade that helped make both games so memorable is also included!
For a new challenge, there are two-player cooperative and competitive gameplay modes. In cooperative modes, both players try to achieve a single high score and share six lives. In two-player competitive mode, each player has their own set of scores and lives. In competitive mode, you even get points for shooting your opponent!

Odd. The 7800 can be captured through the VCR. The VCS must be converting the signal enough for the HDMI converter to see it. Nice.

My sincere condolences on the passing of your wife. May you and yours find peace.

You tried using a 2nd hand VCR? I used one to hook my Atari systems to a composite video monitor years ago, and now I use one to hook my A/V systems to my RF only CRT.

I can’t capture my 7800 though.

And this guy…

…is allowing me to capture game play from SuperNES. I’m trying to do more YouTube videos again.

Im excited!

I'm doing a short questionnaire to see what days would work best for members of Atari I/O to join my livestreams. I try to start at 7PM but I'm trying to find out what days work best for you guys. So far I have one person that has been watching every time I do a live feed. Or would you guys rather see standard videos?

DegasElite reacted to Marco1019 in HighScore.com under new ownership? January 30

(I hope this is the correct forum for my post. @Justin , I apologize in advance if I erred.)
I checked out highscore.com over the weekend as it had been ages since I logged into that site. The site was black except for the words, "Under Construction". I found that curious since that site had not been updated since I first signed up in 2016.
I learned earlier this morning that the site is back up and appears to be under new ownership. I attached a screenshot; you'll note there is a new mailing list for "early access". There is also an icon on the top left which will provide site updates once you click it.
The site appears to be pivoting towards a model similar to that of Antstream Arcade. It's early, though, so I cannot confirm.
As for anyone who had a profile on the old highscore.com, it's gone.
