Very cool pickups! 😎 My XP carts don't fit either of my 7800s. Are they a tight fit for you? Various 2600 models and my Gemini are fine.

I LOVED Crossover. I watched it three times.

Out now!

From the developers of Qomp, Kombinera and Mr. Run & Jump comes Qomp 2! Check out the announcement trailer!

Release Date: February 20, 2024 Retail: $19.99 Developer(s): Graphite Lab Publisher: Atari Official Site Synopsis : An artful reimagining of Pong, qomp2 picks up the story where the delightful indie platform-puzzler qomp left off in 2021. Control a Pong ball aching to break free of its life stuck between two paddles. Explore a dangerous, minimalist world, armed with simple two button controls: tap a button to change direction by 90 degrees, and hold down a button to unleash a cathartic dash forward. That’s all you need to solve environmental puzzles and labyrinthine levels. Around each corner is a new challenge that will test your two-button and problem-solving skills. A variety of difficult enemies and bosses help you mark your time as you navigate through 30 levels spread across four worlds. A cerebral puzzler lies within the heart of this indie twist on Pong.

Welcome to the official topic for QOMP 2

Is it poetic that this once planned Amico launch title is making its way to the Atari VCS? I recall how Tallarico trolled the VCS IndieGoGo launch by announcing the Amico the day prior. He went on to continue trolling the VCS throughout its development on various platforms despite being a licensee of Atari for titles like Breakout and Missile Command. Today we get to enjoy this Amico game on the only retro modern platform that made it to market. I call that poetic. I wonder if will see other BBG games make it to the VCS?!

As announced today via the VCS X account.

Personally, I would like them to come up with a new uniform box to dermarcate this new era of releases. Something that calls back to the best of the Atari Inc designs, but is easily identifiable as of this era. Maybe a gold box era? 🤔

Yes, a new CX-78 with an improved d-pad and less mushy buttons would be amazing.

Very cool @Funkmaster V!
