I just got a "broken" Sears Video Arcade 4-switch, boxed with 23 games, two controllers and paddles. I wonder if its really broken. Watch for pictures in the restoration threadlater this week...

We welcomed "Babytooth Retro" into the world this morning just before 6:00 am. Mom and baby girl are healthy and sleeping. I'm taking the time to improve my swaddle. 😅
I may not be as active in the coming weeks but will keep ClubVCS rolling.

MORE SUBWOOFER. It reminds me of the old THX intro to movies.
Best Buy matching, eh? I'll have to check that out. $250?-

Awesome job with this @Sabertooth thanks for the dedication!!!

A year or so ago I came up with the idea of a gaming battle jacket. (If you grew up in punk and metal, you know what this is.) I was struggling with a theme until Atari's new Recharged series.
Here are the first pieces coming together! Recharged buttons and a Missile Command Recharged back patch!
Now to sew on this ginormous patch!

I've got a project lined up to create some kind of wall-mounted frame for my Activision patches. But I probably need to spend some time at a crafts store to find the right kind of frame. If I do, having another one with all the atari.io pins in would also be really cool!

So you guys know, I plan on doing more runs of new Atari I/O pins in the future. I still have prints for the originals. The only reason we stopped was because I moved away from having access to a button press and inexpensive mailing through my old company. The idea was do to a different set every season and send them out to our most active members as a "thank you" for being at Atari I/O

When did eBay sellers start adding "Launch Edition" to every loose console listing? Here's a white "launch edition" Wii. Look at that gray "launch edition" Jaguar. How about a yellowing "launch edition" SNES? Gimme a flippin' break.

It's because that is how eBay has renamed them in their database. It's eBay, not the sellers.

Did you ever get one :D
-
Yes! Just this past weekend I got a 2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401!
I'm new to riding and just got my M1 in August. Taking my time with it in the early mornings before traffic and in lots after work. Hope to be using it as my main transportation in the next month or so.

Oh sweet!! Congratulations! Total blast to ride, really glad to hear you got something! And shit, that's nice!

In case you're wondering, I said "yes."

Thanks Rick! She popped the question via a custom ViewMaster photo disc.

How cool is that? Happy wishes for you three.

We might do a BPM Boy challenge in the future. Not sure if you've grabbed that yet but it's definitely an awesome game!
And Mockduck's Atari Mania review is pretty spot on.
-
OK, I've purchased BPM Boy, Atari Mania, and Missile Command Recharged.
Thank you for the heads up.

I know this is available on other platforms but this is a game I would want to save for just the Atari VCS. I know they would do it right.
-
I hear the happiest control of the PS5 version is pretty cool. Otherwise, VCS is probably the way to play.
Once Atari turns on the back end for the global leaderboards it will be at parity with other platforms, with bonus content.

I didn't know you were a stop-motion animator, Sabertooth. Pretty cool. :O)

You don't have to have a VCS to check out Antstream Arcade. I know I've mentioned it before but it's a ton of fun with a fantastic selection of games, tournaments and score challenges. I highly recommend it!
Up now, a Robotron 2084 single life challenge!

@RickR - it's available on multiple platforms: VCS, Windows, iOS, Android, Xbox One...
The version the VCS is optimized for that platform and contains some additional Atari content.
-
Very cool. I had not heard of this. I will check it out. Thanks!
-
For giggles I downloaded it to my Windows PC. It plays exactly the same.

I like what you did with the clear power button on the back left, I just set mine up that way too.

This "might" be a thing I try to do. Still working out the video capture bugs....and the whole talking while playing thing. Does anyone else hate the sound of their voice and/or the way their face looks while they talk? I may just do voice overs! LOL!!!

@kamakazi20012 I'm using AverMedia Live Gamer Portable 2Plus for streaming/game capture. The retro consoles (modded) are going to the unit via HDMI through my RetroTink 2x upscaler. AverMedia has a streaming/recording software called RECentral 4.0 that is similar to OBS Studio but is a bit easier to use.
The cool thing about the AVER unit is you can record game capture without a PC for reviews and such. It records on a microSD so you can dump it later for editing. For streaming, it does 4K pass through to your gaming monitor/TV. It's also pretty plug-in-play, so as a total noob I got up and running in a less than half an hour.
Good luck on your project!

When I left you, I was but the learner. Now, I am the master...of Public Administration.
. Final paper in last night! After nearly 2.5 years of full time work and school I am done with my MPA program. I'm very excited to be getting some free time back. I have no idea what I'll do with it but there will definitely be some space for Atari!- Show previous comments 1 more

WOW! A tremendous accomplishment. For what it's worth....I'm proud of you!

Excellent! Congrats to you

Thanks a lot, everyone!

By Tasslehoff's top-knot, a new Vs. Cartoon Intros poll is up!

Agreed. I'ma huge fan of the Chronicles and Legends books. The War of Souls was also cool. The cartoon movie was bad though

My wife is kicking off a Krynn AD&D 2nd Ed game real soon!

That sounds awesome!

I'm wrapping up the end of the independent study portion of my graduate program. I can see the finishline but with the due date approaching I'm hitting a wall. More than 100 pages in and I'm running out of words. I also really want to play Iron Soldier 2...Maybe an hour of play time for every two hours of writing until I'm done? That seems responsible.

That is what I was taught in college...let your mind have a break. You can actually overdo it.

Yeah, I think you guys are right. Maybe I should pick something a little more zen than IS2!

It's true outside of school too. At work, I've gotten stuck on a technical problem and stopped to go take a walk. And then while walking, BOOM...the answer just comes to me.

Scored a nice condition Gemini with 2 controllers for $20! I can live with not having a box.

Good to know. I'll have to pick up a Genesis too!
-
Man I'm jealous! I'd love to have a Gemini. I just dig the controllers.

Ooops!
Man, a Gemini for $20 is a STEAL! Nicely done.

Most things were above eBay pricing. I grabbed three controllers, Vampire Hunter on Saturn and Wing Commander IV on PS1. If you're interested, you can see the write up under the Events & Clubs subforum.

It's hard to believe there are venues that DON'T have AC.

Welcome back, Kotter.

My best friend - not a gamer - is in Tokyo on business. He wrote that he's popping into Super Potato to see if he can find something for me. Last year he brought me home a Famicom. I can't wait to see what he picks up this year.

Oh nice! Hope you video what he brings back.

Man, I wish I had a friend like that.

It is a boxed and minty Japanese launch Saturn. Not rare but cool to have.

Trying out my just arrived Blaze Evercade. Look for hardware and cart impressions on blog in the next few days. Pumped!
-
I'm looking forward to these blog posts Arlen! I've seen more and more stuff about the Evercade but haven't checked one out in person yet. Really curious to see if this holds water with you or not.

Apparently Nintendo is filming a commercial on Saturday in our building. Maybe this is my chance to be discovered? Too obvious if I come decked out in a Zelda t-shirt? 😂

There is nothing like getting a new game, sticking the Bluray into the slot and then waiting 40 minutes for the most recent patches. The joy of modern gaming.
-
Ain't that the truth.
There's also that moment when you are informed that your hard drive is full. WTF.
-
I hear XBOX One consoles can take a couple of days from the first time they are turned on until the user can actually play a game setting itself up and installing any updates.
-
Having DLCs on physical disc doesn't help either. Wife and I bought the Borderlands Triple Pack which contained all DLC for all three games on discs. Took all night to install those so we had to wait a day to play a game. Yep...cart games have their advantages sometimes.
