I appreciate that they’re standardizing the CX78 Control Pad. It always should’ve been that way.

Boxes are included, as with the Plaion re-release of Berzerk and release of Mr. Run & Jump. They are also including instructions this time! Here's a sample from "Ben at Plaion."

Good question! I think they did the same thing with Berzerk and Mr. Run and Jump when those were on pre-order. They did ship with boxes. It may be worth a question on the Atari Discord. I'll get back to you.

Are you sure that box is included? I think at the $30 mark, it's cartridge only despite what's shown in the product photo.

Re-releasing some old games that include a cart and box for $30. Good deal if you ask me. Pre-order now for shipment in May 2024

DegasElite reacted to Mockduck in Recharged Squad Challenge 026 - Yoomp! April 5

First attempt after a few practice runs to get used to the game: 2817. Game is hard. Wow, those graphics are...not great. 🙂 I will submit a better score and screenshot soon.

DegasElite reacted to RickR in Recharged Squad Challenge 026 - Yoomp! April 5

I am trying to decide whether to play on Atari 50 on VCS or load the ATR file on real hardware. There's only one right answer for me....BOTH! I'll let you know which one I like better. 🙂

Also going to see if Pengo is already loaded on my modded PS1 Classic.
Scores will be posted soon....

Message
Welcome to our 26th Club VCS Recharged Squad Challenge!!! For this challenge, we're celebrating the release of the ATARI 400 MINI by playing the Atari 8-bit game YOOMP! Play on the VCS via Atari 50, on real Atari 8-bit hardware, on the 400 MINI, or using your A8 emulator of choice!
Yoomp! is the winner of the 2007 ABBUC software competition. Like a combination of Trailblazer and an often-seen demoscene effect, you fall down a tube, landing on each square progressively in a rhythmic manner. Landing on certain tiles will have certain effects, such as making the screen quake, decreasing the brightness or forcing you to jump. Navigating the tube itself is a matter of planning ahead and compensating for your limited movement capabilities. This game is freeware and can be downloaded on the Yoomp website.
Start at LEVEL ONE and take the game as far as you can for the high score!

Club VCS Recharged Squad Contest
This game is the fourth title in our fifth Club VCS contest giveaway! Prize details will be announced shortly. This time we're going a full 12 rounds with the winner announced in January 2025!

Usage notes and ROMs titles list.

Usage notes and titles list in this document were compiled from various posts.

Super Vectrex Multicart (SVM) Usage Notes:

Super Vectrex Multicart title selection functionality as used with the Vectrex Reset button. SVM supports a feature to use the Vectrex front panel "Reset" button in two different ways. A quick press. Or a long (greater than 1 second) press.

Using the quick press feature of the Reset button will result in restarting the currently selected ROM title.

Using the long press feature of the Reset button will result in returning to the SVM Main Menu allowing for selecting of a different ROM title.

Some of the ROMs in the titles list are a multiple game title ROM in themselves. (e.g.: All Good Things.) After selecting the ROM the player will be presented with the title's menu inside the ROM for choosing other individual games inside the ROM.

Some of the ROMs below require accessory hardware in order to start and use the title. Such as a Vectrex 3D Imager, Light Pen, or third party spinner controller.

All "3D" ROM titles requiring the Vectrex 3D Imager will show a blank display after starting the game without the 3D Imager attached. (e.g.: "3D Crazy Coaster", 3D MineStorm", etc.) This is expected and normal operation for a 3D title. To see game play graphics displayed plug a 3D Imager into Vectrex Controller Port 2.

All ROMs requiring the Vectrex Light Pen (LightPen) will provide only limited usage after starting the title without the Light Pen attached. (e.g.: "Art Master", "Mail Plane", etc.) The title will start and the game can be selected. But actions needing the Light Pen will be unavailable. (e.g.: In Mail Plane game play destination selection and package loading cannot be accomplished.)

Original era and homebrew ROMs requiring extra RAM on the printed circuit board (PCB) are not supported by the Super Vectrex Multicart. No RAM exists on the SVM PCB. Those titles are not included on the SVM. (e.g.: "Animaction") Extra RAM was not included on the SVM PCB to keep the sale price as low as possible.

All titles in the list noted with "(IL)" are a modified version of the title with infinite lives for use by the player.

All titles in the list noted with "(Invincibility)" are a modified version of the title where the player cannot be hit and killed.

All titles in the list noted with "(Level Select)" are a modified version of the title where the player can choose the starting level.

All titles in the list noted with "(Spinner)" are a modified version of the title enabled to use a spinner controller. Usually in controller port 2.

All titles in the list noted with "(Button)" are a modified version of the title enabled to use a the controller's buttons to control player moevement.

All titles in the list noted with "(Joystick)" are a modified version of the title enabled to use a the controller's joystick to control player movement.

All titles in the list noted with "(2D)" are a modified version of the title enabled to operate without the use of a Vectrex 3D Imager.

All titles in the list noted with "(BCG)" are a ports from BASIC games by Ralf Kornmann based on the original games in the 1973 edition of "101 BASIC Computer Games" by David H. Ahl.

All titles in the list noted with "(Speed)" are a modified version of the title incorporating increased speed of one or more game design elements as compared with the original title. (e.g: For Berzerk (Speed) the player, bullets, robots and Evil Otto all move a bit quicker.)

DegasElite reacted to MistaMaddog in Trying ChimeraOS in PC-MODE April 4

Seriously, you should make a YT video about using ChimeraOS to run Steam on the VCS. (And I do enjoy your gameplay videos.)
I keep seeing these comments that are like, "Why doesn't Atari put all their games on the VCS!?"
And I'm like, "Dude, just use PC Mode..."
