Sabertooth

Those are nice.  I dig the purple color. 

Haha that's @Atari Creep all the way!! 🕷️

Thanks @RickR! It was a lot of fun to mess around with.

So awesome! I love it! 

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

Good. Glad to see "Atari" is out of the centralized shitcoin biz.

Our grocery store had them for $0.75!  I didn't get any, as I'm trying to avoid sugar.   But now I regret it

That's an even better deal than mine! ($1.50)

They don't expire until May, so I'm good for breakfast for 7 months. LOL

Beautiful!  Enjoy your travels and thank you for sharing. 

Thanks, @RickR! We're trying to get a few short trips in before the baby.

I've never been here before and it's absolutely stunning.

It's pretty wild, especially when you see some of those strata oriented diagonally -- some major cataclysm from the past. 

If you ever get the chance, go to Zion.  Of all the national parks I've been to, that one was the most spectacular IMO. 

Sad to hear that.  Regardless of reasons why some people disliked him he was a unique entertainer and created some of the most annoying catch phrases of all-time.  He was easy to spot in film and sitcoms when he made cameo appearances.  I had a cousin who grew up watching his Playhouse show. 

It's sad to hear he battled cancer.  He was a master of his craft.  He did what no one else did and in some ways kept a bit of nostalgia from past actors in his character. I mean, A suit and tie.  That was something left in the past unless you was a game show host.  

R.I.P. Pee Wee.  You entertained us well.

Thanks @HDN! Yeah, I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. It was one of those last minute ideas... My girlfriend and daughter with both quietly skeptical before they saw it. LOL!  It was important for me to cover different games/iterations, including Atari 2600 Pac-Man. I'm glad that you like it! 

Thanks @Justin! It was a fun project and really cool as a fan for Bandai-Namco to repost! 

That is super awesome @Sabertooth! Not only are the decorations fabulous, the photos really pop.

Your recognition by Namco should definitely be logged in NSG's post about someone big tweeting you back 👍

Atari 2600+ is $117

Worth it after the firmware updates!

This is really awesome of them!  And also we are thankful for you for setting this up.

I take no credit. They just saw my post on X and offered it up. Very generous!

The new controllers are already sold out.  I wonder how long the Onyx Base system will last at this price?

And sold out.

"You snooze, you lose".

I actually decided "no" upon sleeping on it.  I'm in such a downsizing mode right now, it just didn't feel like the right thing for me.  Please keep us all informed if they come back in stock though, as I may change my mind.  It was a close decision! 

Hopefully, you get a bunch more new club members with the new purchasers.

I literally just found out after seeing this video. 

I’m a bit sad to see this happen. Seeing talented people attempting to duplicate arcade classics on the venerable 2600 was always a fun watch and play. The activity always brought a lot of buzz to the community and 2600 platform. Oh well, nothing lasts forever.

I hope we will see more original works as a result of this.

I always said making clones or ports of unlicensed games is like playing Russian Roulette. Many copyright holders may not seem to care about games we make on these systems, but eventually, one may get copied, and the copyright owner complains. We know Nintendo is protective of their Mario franchise, and I stay cleared of that. I always tell people if you figure out the programming to do the mechanics of something like Super Mario Land/World/ etc on your system. Why not just replace graphics, sounds, sprites, music with your own designs. Make new levels with things placed in different areas of the screen. Now you made your own original game that you own the intellectual property. 
Why don't those talented people start creating original stuff that is just as exiting to play? 
I know I am not innocent with making clones. I made ported Tempest and Venture to Atari 8-bit only because I was working with someone who really wanted those games ported. When I started making these projects, I expressed my concerns with him about copyright. I had many problems working with him behind the scenes, and was glad when his partnership with myself and Video61 was terminated. I did what I mentioned here, took what I learned, and starting making original stuff. 

I actually love the color palette.  Much better in person. It's very cool in the context of the overall package - music, gameplay, effects. Everything just works. It is also feels fresh compared to the other titles.

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.

Thank you @Sabertooth for keeping us posted any time there's an Atari VCS sale! It's very helpful 🙂 

Update: Code is currently off due to a "clerical error."

It works!  Thanks. 

It still works!

Be aware that the code is cap sensitive. I initially entered all the letters in lower case because I couldn't be bothered to turn on all caps 😂 and it didn't work.

STOP YELLING!  🙂

Goll durn, that IS a great deal!
