I believe so, and also a portion of the old Imagic games too. But more research is needed

Atari lovers should be proud. Activision is the very first third party video game company. From the golden age of gaming.

Awesome! If you turn around and look across Grand, the big brick high-rise that is slightly tapered at the top...I used to work in that building for many years. And if you look the other direction into downtown, the very tall "pink" high rise is where I worked after that. Nowadays, I work from home, which you cannot see from there 🙂 I hope y'all have a great time at the show. My wife says we're going to a work convention in Long Beach next year around this same time, so I really hope it's a different weekend than PRGE next year! I miss going.

You know, if it was a heated stone, my wife would love it.

Good luck, E! I hope you make it on time. Safe travels to all coming to Portland!!!

I've been to SLC twice, and the city is surrounded by mountains like that. It's very foreboding and also really beautiful. I thank you for sharing those pics as a reminder.

I'm going to see @socrates63 tomorrow morning, but I'm really quite sad I'm not going to PRGE. Cruise will be fun. Cruise will be fun. Keep repeating.

I mean, it should fit in the overhead bin 🙂

Hold on a sec....Isn't "Rogue" the really old ASCII based adventure game? I played a ton of that on the Commodore PET in high school. I had no idea they made a commercial version later. Is it still the same game with crude graphics?

And as a finale, here is a very short "making of" video, which is very charming.

35,200. I busted out a brand new (repro) Genesis controller. This game is good on the SMS, but it could really use autofire like on TG16! Ouch, my thumb!!! I'm playing on a Retron 3 with a Everdrive cart. And I can confirm that GG games *do* work on the Everdrive cart for Genesis...although the colors are very wonky. I'll need to test more.

You gonna celebrate Halloween?

HUGE thank you @Sabertooth. This is done so well. Very professional. A tremendous effort.

I would mod it. It's easy to do and I've done a few of them for others before. And yes, there is a space limit, but it is pretty large. Enough for most favorites. Which games? I usually go to "videogamecritic.com" and sort a system's games by letter grade. Grab and try all the "A" titles. The easiest flashback to mod is the PS1 Classic, which can simply boot off a USB stick. Remove the stick and it's right back to stock.

I agree these look just about perfect. Now, how to remember this when I need to print one in the future? 🙂

Oh wow, that is cool!

I'm not sure if this is still true, but I think owners of the old version got an auto-upgrade to the new for free.

Ah, good! I would say the game selection is MUCH bigger than the 5200. There are thousands of disk-based games that will blow the mind. Pretty much the entire EA library, for example. Or Datasoft. War games, adventure games, sports games...so much to explore on the Atari 8-bit. As far as solutions for multi-carts, I suggest starting with the simple "UnoCart". It's cheap and loads cartridge/tape/disk images. I think I wrote a review in my blog here.

Is that the 2020 version of Missile Command? Because that's one they redid and re-released. I think the earlier version was pretty uninspired and how awesome that they admit that and re-did it.

What do you mean by "Super Cartridge"? If you mean something that can load images off SD card, there are many choices, and all pretty inexpensive.

BOOM! Same here. This looks like a lot of fun. A nice refresh for an old game.
