  1. If you've ever ordered from Best, this article will resonate. There are also some quotes from @Video 61.

      Great article.  I love BEST.  I do feel that twinge to "be careful" when I do order, but actually speaking to Bradley is always a pleasant experience for me.

      I've ordered two or three times from both Best and V61. I never knew about getting banned from Best 😆. I always followed the instructions and things went smoothly.

      My last purchase had a minor hiccup because of a comment I made on the phone. Since he didn't take paypal, I called in to give him my credit card number. Well, I mistakenly called during non-business hours, and naturally, no one answered. I got a hold of Bradley on a later call and made the mistake of mentioning that I had called once previously and no one picked up. He seemed slightly annoyed 😄

      Lance, on the other hand, has been much more cordial and easier to buy from 😄

  2. In case "you know who" is reading, want an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle!

  3. 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.

  4. Interesting article on modern day Atari and its turnaround efforts.

      Some real honesty, which is very refreshing. 

       

  5. Interesting interview with current-day Atari's new CEO, Wade Rosen, on the current direction of the company. The Recharged titles have been solid, a new Food Fight is on its way, and Fred is no longer with the Co. Maybe he is the leader to right the ship?

      I am happy Frederic Chesnais left the Atari company. He didn't seem with it to me. Maybe, this Rosen guy has some smarts when it comes to games and gaming. :O)

  6. Is anyone else constantly bombarded with Evony: The King's Return ads on YouTube or other social?

    I have tried flagging these as "irrelevant" but they persist. I don't generally play mobile games and this one looks horrible. I will never play it no matter how many ads they buy.

      I have not seen that one.  Ad blockers help, if that's an option for you. 

       

  7. It was cool to see French Youtuber Manu Atari (GemTos) share out the ClubVCS Fanzine!

      WHOA cool, I'm just now seeing this! Late last night I finished some back end "club" work on the site and before bed took out the Club VCS Zine and read through it again. I never expected a print edition would materialize so quickly and look so good. VCS players are extremely lucky to receive this kind of incredible support. I always think of the Amico guys out there who must feel so devastated about where things are right now, and then I look at the VCS community and think how fortunate we are to have this.

  8. It's official! Caverns of Mars: Recharged is coming to the VCS and other platforms on March 9!

      Awesome news! I always loved Caverns of Mars, let's hope this is a good one 🤞

  9. Jetboard Joust on the new Atari VCS is my 2021 Game of the Year!  What's yours?

      You're getting me sold on the Atari VCS

  10. Just got my copy of Once Upon Atari by the incomparable HSW. Has anyone else read this yet?

      I have read it and loved it.  I bought the Kindle version a few months ago.

      I had his "Once Upon Atari" video series in the 1990s, it was fascinating :Howard_Scott_Warshaw:

  11. Just released to the VCS store: Catty & Batty!

    A short and charming indie title for fans of games like Lemmings. Discuss at ClubVCS:

     

  12. Keeping things rolling with BPM Boy levels 9-12.

     

  13. Looking at motorcycles to complete the midlife crisis look. 😂😂😂

      @Clint Thompson

      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!

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

      I’m not the right demographic for the 2600+ (because I don’t have anything that takes HDMI anymore), but I still think it looks pretty awesome. Glad you’re having a good time with it.

  15. Mail call: Last Strike on the Atari Jaguar! A great homage to Scramble from reBoot and AtariAge!

  16. Mail call: Titanfall 2 on PS4 courtesy of @Atari Creep!

    Check out that sweet "Creep it Real" sticker. Going to try it out over the long weekend.  Thanks Chris!

  17. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of the great members and mods at atari.io!

    I hope that you all have a safe and happy holiday filled with light, love and laughter... oh, and some Atari games!

      THANK YOU @Sabertooth!! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all ❄️

  18. More boppin', rockin' and rollin' with BPM Boy, Levels 25-28. 

     

  19. More rocking & rolling with BPM Boy! If you have a VCS you owe it to yourself to grab this game. 

     

  20. More tests.  This time with Galaxian and 80s shutter shades. 😎1915648848_GalaxianTest2.png.f6f9ceb225b41be54c8a69b16cba9b72.png

  21. My attempt at a Berzerk pumpkin. 🎃🤖

  22. My better half works in the medical field. She brought home some leftover donuts from her office for me. I'm like...um....

    20230428_192259.jpg

  23. My car is a total loss and I got my settlement valuation which met my expectations. I'm thinking of going with a certified used Ioniq 5 as it's the closest thing to Trapper Keeper on wheels that exists in today's market.

    I'm going to be out test driving for the next several days. I have a rental until Monday.

      @Sabertooth It has to be intentional. Lancia was an Italian marque that is out of production and not widely known in our part of the world. People with an interest in those types of cars or Rally racing from the 1980s would know the Lancia Delta as an icon. I was big into Sega Rally on Saturn when it first came out and drove the tires off of that little sucker. I think it's really cool that Hyuandi was willing to put this design into production.

      I ended up pivoting after a few test drives. I went with a VW ID.4. It's the largest car I've had, but works well with my family needs. 3 years of free charging a few blocks away too. I take delivery tomorrow morning.

      Nice!  Congrats. Have fun with your sweet new ride. 

  24. My GF surprised by me with these socks for Halloween. I couldn't help but think of the @Atari Creep

     

    Happy Halloween everyone! Atari.io is the best forum on the net. As the Creep might say: Creep it real!
