For Mother's Day...

Thank you for posting about this!  I sent him a PM.  Hoping I made it on time!

It looks spectacular. I love the graphics depicted in the YouTube video. Quite advanced, actually. Who says the A2600 isn't capable of excellent graphics? Great job.

The 5200 Asteroids artwork is my favorite. I like it so much that I chose it for my custom 5200 cart and box and also have it in my Atari room (Art of Atari Poster Collection). The 5200 box is by Marc Oberhäuser. If you like this box, there's one left on Marc's Etsy site.  

Andrew Davie has received approval for a limited ROM release of his Boulder Dash 2 Demo. Read all about it here.

That's really cool! 
I didn't make a request for the demo, figuring there are many other worthy requestors.  But I'd love to buy a copy of the real deal when it is completed.

Yes. It is an excellent collectible. Nice!

I FINALLY hooked up my Atari 5200 today...

... and got my best score ever!

Happiest of birthdays to you!  And safe travels. 
 

It was actually yesterday...it was my 57th Birthday!  Lots of food and some nice gifts.  Even got another cake today (for a total of 4!) and another gift.  I'll post a picture of the gift I got today later.  I'm getting ready for a trip I have to Chicago to give some lectures. 

I have heard form people trying to find it that it's removed.
It only says unavailable if you haven't joined here.
I see the same thing if not logged in.
 
My next game in progress is a Tetris clone probably called called Tate-Tris, although it will support dual orientation.
As much as I hate the game, it's my 4th time writing it, it will surely be the fastest and most feature rich version for Lynx.
I'm not interested in showing shape statistics on screen, but am interested in drop preview, hard and soft drop, etc.
Fury is final, and I have deleted it's source code in order to force myself to move on from it.
 

I remember when they were cheap ($35) but thanks to the Damndemic (my word) I was lucky to get a Pi4 kit for $100 to use as a secondary PC for remote work in my bedroom.  I have a daily drive PC but it's in an open room and not ideal for web cam stuff, so the Pi served me well during my online classes.  Then the Pis dried up all the sudden...
Later I picked up an Atari Retro Pi case for my birthday and made my Pi boot from USB flash drives to simulate the VCS's PC Mode.  So I can use the same Pi for different functions depending on what distro I boot up with...Rasbian, Ubuntu, RetroPi and even BeePi to use as an Atari FreeMint computer!
 

Want to go "olde Skool" for ONLY $15.00?  << amazon link >>  (It's of dubious quality though) so you'll be rolling the dice.

This is the closest thing I have to a traditional clock.  And it is a smart clock! 

Oooops, forgot one...

Very cool!  I'll be ordering this as well!

I had never heard of these bats either!  That's an excellent collectible!

Anyone else have one of the San Francisco Giants Atari baseball bats? I have a Joe Morgan model. They were giveaways during the 1982 season, in celebration of the teams 25th anniversary.

Btw, Electric Adventures has been working on a port of Space Dungeon for the Colecovision, MSX, and Spectravideo. I hope this gets completed. To date, Space Dungeon has been an Atari 5200 home console exclusive. I've been waiting for someone to hopefully port it to the 7800, as the 5200 port does suffer from occasional slowdown. I'll be very interested to see how this port materializes. 

This is true. EA's track record speaks for itself. This is why I didn't hesitate to place this pre-order. However, as with all pre-orders, anything can happen. I think its a nice selection of games and since the pricing is in Australian dollars, it isn't as costly as most, single game CIBs.
Happy gaming everyone. 

Heads up. There’s a pre-order going on for this CIB. It’s three games in one cart: Lunar Rescue, Depth Charge and Stunt Cycle. I just ordered my copy for the ColecoVision. You can read/see all about it here.
They had me at Lunar Rescue.

Oh wow.  No.  I've never even heard of that.  Classic.  I'm thankful you posted a pic of this.
