    On this episode of #NoFilterHD, I play #Stardash by @orangepixelgames on the #AtariVCS! In this #platformer, reminiscent of a #gameboy #game from 'back in the day," you're running through menacing punishing levels and attempting to find the temple keys to proceed to secret extra levels, while picking up coins and fighting off baddies. What do you think about this 2011 game, remastered in 2018 for #ios and #android?

    I was lucky enough to get my copy of the Plaion-produced standard edition Mr. run & Jump (i.e. not XP, which is a different line and manufacturer).  That cart was ordered separately from the rest of my order as I was on the fence about it since I previously ordered the XP version. Anyway, the rest of my order is stuck in Azusa with a label printed since last week. It has not budged.

    The going theory is that console only orders went out, but if you had accessories or extra games bundled, shipping was held until all items are available. This is unlike Amazon, which will ship partial orders. Atari also indicated on AtariAge that decisions were made by the fulfillment warehouse to ship out of order to expedite processing of the largest amount of orders possible with on hand stock.

    Here's the link to the Atari rep's response:

    https://forums.atariage.com/topic/357039-2600-amazon-or-preorder-from-atari/?do=findComment&comment=5352396

    So the FOMO is real and you are definitely not alone. Plenty of folks who ordered day one from Atari.com are waiting right there with you. Myself included.

    That's just terrible, Atari should have told us that would happen, or given us the option of ordering stuff seperately.. ugh. i ordered like everything on the same order, to make it all cheaper with a discount I got, but... anyways, I made a new Fomo part 2 video in response to this which went up tonight. I'll be reposting it below. Thanks buddy for your updates & support!

    i'm going to guess the developer's scope didn't include the VCS. Interestingly, Tony Barnes has said that the VCS is more powerful than the Switch and that BPM wouldn't run on it as is - it will have to be 30 FPS instead of 60.

    I may try RCT in PC-Mode via Steam. I've been messing around a bit with it and I'm surprised what runs.

    oh wow! I'm not surprised haha the switch is severely underpowered, and i have the oled model i got new when it came out, so maybe it CAN run better on the VCS? Thank you my friend

  9. On this episode of #NoFilterHD, I play #BerzerkRecharged by @Atari & @sneakybox! It's a fun new take on the old classic #game, #Berzerk, by #AlanMcNeil! In this one, there's a completely new redesign by Sneakybox & Atari, a great musical score by @MeganMcDuffee & tons of achievement and mission modes! What do I think? Tune in tonight @ 7 pm MDT to find out! And... Don't Forget... CHICKEN. FIGHT LIKE A ROBOT!!!!

    Funny that there is a VCS cafe when they couldn't bother with a port.  Just sayin'!

    Good point, but my guess is that it might run too poorly. Even on my new Switch OLED, this game stutters after 1.5 hours of gameplay as the video shows, its disappointing and you need to restart I guess (it auto saves) but on my friends XBOX it works flawlessly. NOT the game, but the hardware. The Switch is severely underpowered even for this game. The game is beautiful and well made, to be sure, but Switch just ain't cuttin' it. I'm guessing the VCS may act the same since the Switch is more powerful architecture.

  11. On this episode of #NoFilterHD, I continue playing #rollercoastertycoon Adventures Deluxe by @atari & @GraphiteLab on the #NintendoSwitch! In this part 2, I begin placing #Atari specific #games, #rides & more! I place the #AtariVCS Cafe, the #Tempest ride, #Asteroids ride, #skatingrink & much, much more! (Near the end of this part, the Switch begins to skip frame rates & I quit the game. Upon restart later, the issue went away, but just FYI that the Switch gave me these issues after 2 hrs of play. NOT an issue with the game, as a friend played it on the Xbox and it performed flawlessly.) What do u think?
