Love it, or hate it... I've had THE BEST TIME going through my carts on the 2600+ this weekend.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUSTIN !!!! 😮🎊🎂🥂🎉

This site's creator, the main man 😎👍🏻

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

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. 

Club VCS pins arrived today!  Thank you @Sabertooth  These are so cool. If you haven't joined Club VCS yet, what the heck are you waiting for?

Going through my boxed 7800 games to confirm gaps in the retail library. I have six left but they are the $$$ ones.

Here's also some loose oddball, repros, and homebrew from before they came with boxes. I'll have to get these from Marc eventually.

Check out our Series 4 Recharged Squad Challenge button set!

CRANK IT UP!  End your day properly with some Yars' Revenge music.  (Courtesy of @Sabertooth, who brought this up several weeks ago)

🤔 Anyone else find it funny that the President of Nintendo is named Bowser?

Wherever you are, I hope that you're enjoying a safe and happy Labor Day holiday!

🤔 What was the first video game you fell in love with as a child?

Another XP unboxing. This time it's Crystal Castles!

Chilling in the top spot of the Quantum Recharged leaderboards.

While waiting for wife in surgery...

Personal update — I’ve been dealing with back pain for more than a year. Late Monday, I went to the ER and Tuesday morning, I underwent a surgery for a herniated disc. It was diagnosed as a medical emergency. Surgery went well, but I will be in the hospital for another week. I’ve lost some function of my left leg and will be rehabbing in the hospital, and after I’m discharged, I will be returning for more intensive rehab. I am expected to make a full recovery.

In the meantime, should I be worried about my 7800 Asteroids score in the high score challenge? 😂 Game on 🕹️

My house is empty again and I get my gaming room back!  VCS challenges are back in play!!!

Happy Atari Day!  Why not celebrate by buying a VCS console/bundle or other merch from Atari this weekend.  Great sale going on now.
 

Here's the teaser for Episode 104 streaming Wednesday night at 9pm ET! New retrogaming records, + a broader look at several challenges, including Antstream Arcade, EverythingC64, Atari.io & TG!

🏴‍☠️ Our hosting platform experienced a bit of downtime overnight. If you were unable to get into the Forums, it wasn't anything specific to Atari I/O, just some general maintenance on our platform's end.

It's been a rough, non-gaming week & it's going to carry over into next week, sadly. The show will be postponed 1 week & will return on March 29. I'll be online sporadically until then.

When is E.T.: Recharged coming out for VCS??
