One new boxed item on my game room shelf...the 400 on the top right. 

Holiday Traditions.

Here's a pretty wild USPS Priority Mail shipment tracking.  It is supposed to go from Portland to Cleveland.  Looks like it is taking the scenic route.

I had election day off so I spent some time in PC-MODE via Steam.  System Shock remake, Poosh XL, Space Giraffe, Lunar Lander Beyond, Void Prison, Polybius, Moose Life.
My 8GB stock VCS choked on LLB, System Shock, Polybius and Moose Life; Poosh XL, Void Prison and Space Giraffe worked fine.   My 16GB VCS ran LLB, Polybius and Moose Life fine. System Shock ran decently in the low settings.

One of the best things about the first week of November is that the annual edition of General Mills' Monster Cereal is 75% off. #iykyk

☕️11:40pm, just on the desktop and enjoying a mug of coffee.

Playing Yars' Revenge (2011) on Steam via the Atari VCS in PC-Mode using a bootable thumb drive with Windows 11.   This game was only released on PC and XBOX 360. The stock 8GB VCS handled it easily after some legacy driver updates, even while recording. 

Passing on some good prices on cartridges of 2600, 7800, and Genesis prototypes, reproductions and hacks at AtariAge by Shawn. I've bought Genesis reproductions from him before, and the cartridge labels and such were of great quality. I'd snatch up all the 2600 and 7800 cartridges if I didn't have them already. Great prices--much cheaper than GoodDealGames which is where I bought mine.
 

ICYMI: This month we're celebrating 30 years of the Atari Jaguar with a special cross-platform Tempest 2000 Recharged Squad Challenge!
Play the game on Atari 50, BigPEmu or on original hardware!
