    Same with Sony and the PS1. One of the main reasons they crushed the Saturn.

    Rowsdower70 reacted to Clint Thompson in The worst system to code for...   
    Found this online today and even though it's a small tidbit, it does make a lot of sense:
     
    "You've coded on a lot of different systems. Which ones did you think were the worst and best, in terms of hardware implementation, development environment, manufacturer tech support (for developers)....?
      Rebecca Heineman: The worst had to be the Atari Jaguar. Forcing everyone to use an Atari Falcon as a dev system and expecting us to use bug ridden and barely working compilers and other tools, it was a miracle any game was completed on that system. Best? The Apple II in it's simplicity. I loved programming the Apple II and then the IIgs, although the IIgs was really slow without an accelerator (Which was likely a marketing decision to force people to buy Macintosh computers). Dev environment? CodeWarrior! I wrote so many plug ins to allow me to use numerous scripting tools, it's a shame it's all but abandoned today, and at least Visual Studio is in a state today that it's my IDE of choice. Tech support? It was 3DO, they did everything they could including sending me at their expense to get training on making code on their platform and going out of their way to make sure I got my games out the door. Pity, their business model wasn't sustainable."   Source: http://ask.fm/burgerbecky/answer/128965555885   Truth be told, the idea of coding and/or completely developing on the Falcon does seems kind of insane, especially considering the extremely limited software available for the Falcon at the time... nevermind the fact that they just completely dropped it only after a year anyway. I completely understand what Atari was trying to do or ultimately wanted to do... create an eco-system where the Falcon was necessary to create games for the Jaguar on and push sales of their computers with hope that software would flourish and soon follow. Obviously there were a ton of other issues preventing that vision from materializing.   That same year the Pentium was released, software options alone would quickly overule any chance of using the Falcon as a standalone development workstation viable, nevermind the obvious speed difference the Pentium chips offered.

    Believe me, I would love, LOVE to. My collection isn't so great and I don't have many doubles. I'd have to see what I can part with. And I'm sure you all have everything I have.

    I'm not positive about the dragon, but I believe it is a Game of Thrones thing.  I don't really watch that, so I can't confirm!

    My cat was a bit concerned until he saw it said SPRAYED and not SPAYED.    Thanks RickR for the Omnivision games.   I will feel up to the ceremonial offering this week sometime.

    Guys, Mrs. Rowsdower's hat is a piece of art.  So nice that putting it on my ugly head and taking a picture that way would only detract from it's awesomeness. 
     
    Oh, and something about a couple of games.  But mostly it's about the hat.
