I have to look into these. I see there’s one for the X-Wing too.

Arrived Friday. I've read through a bit of the book and like it. IMO, the author does a good job at presenting each "curious" game machine.

Ordering!  😁

Latest pickup...a whole bunch of TI stuff.  I have no idea how to work the disk stuff or if it's even worth messing with.

It has been a while!  Your videos are great, and I thank you for posting.
 

Some pickups at the tail end of April.  This is an Atari.io exclusive.  It is unlisted on the main channel.
 

Blitzer1001 just released Gunfight for the 2600.  Download here.
Short Description
In this game inspired by 'wild gunman' on the NES, you'll go face-to-face with 5 different cowboys, each with their own reaction time.
How to play:
Once a cowboy appears, you have to wait until a beep. When you hear the beep, you have to press the red button on your joystick as fast as you can. If you react in time, the cowboy will fall over. If you wait to long, the sky will become red and you'll have to reset the game in order to play again. The goal is to shoot as many cowboys as you can.

Warning…highly addictive gameplay.

Hi Guys 🙂
This is the horizontal space shooter I've been working on.
It's in a playable state, with three end of level bosses.
I'm not so sure if I've done so well estimating difficulty.
 
edit... replaced file ... This is the Phoenix Edition with Bug AI!

I just PM'd him.  Thank you!

An Atari 8-bit Pico Cart.  Do I "need" another multi-cart for Atari?  No I do not.  But it was inexpensive and I went for it.

The other issue for the programmers was the time table.  Like Garry explained, he had all of 3 months!  Who knows how long the Inty programmer had?!  Maybe the same amount of time?

And also, I don't think it's even fair to criticize Coleco.  They could have just as easily decided to NOT make any other console versions.  You want Donkey Kong at home?  You gotta buy a ColecoVision. 
 

Correct. I've heard him answer this at PRGE.

Garry’s talked about this topic before. It’s brought up in this interview (among others) at Free Play Florida. Jump to the 11:58 mark. 
 

2600 DK was just like 2600 Pac-Man for us BITD. Sure neither one looked that great, but we played each game, hour upon hour and had fun doing so. Honestly, these games have been made to look/sound worse (IMO) by the younger generations, whom obviously weren't around to play the games when they were initially released. 

Ha! I joined eBay while having a conversation about Atari systems with my brother. He said, “remember Atari, I wonder if anyone’s selling them.” I immediately checked eBay and couldn’t believe how many games/consoles were available.
I just made my 21st year. They didn’t send me an email. Maybe I need to leave/receive more feedback.

No, but this is going to be me if they don't send me one on Oct 6:

So, exactly 24 years ago I joined Ebay and that led me to start collecting more and more retro games and systems.  I was surprised at how easy it was to find old games!  Ebay sent me an email with this image to "celebrate"...2913 positive feedback in that time.  🙂

I think we had this exact box!

This one reminds me of how hard it was to share toys with my older brother.  Always telling me what to do and how to do it and making sure I didn't "mess it up" or break it.  Sigh.  I guess this is why I love my Atari 2600 so much, as that was the first toy we had that I kind of took ownership of and didn't have to take any guff over.
