Sabertooth

I'll put this on our list for after Wednesday, which is good. Very Tim Burton. Dark and quirky. 

Ah, that partly explains why I like it so much 🙂 I love Tim Burton movies (with the exception of the Michael Keaton Batman movie although I should give it a second chance. I think 30+ years is enough time to have gotten over the shock of seeing Bruce Wayne with a receding hairline.).

@RickR I agree! Rescue on Fractalus would be fantastic! Yes I believe Lucas, which is now Disney, still owns the rights, but sometimes games like these can be licensed a bit more easily than you'd expect. It's when you run into franchises, say like Atari reissuing the Star Wars arcade, where licensing gets to be prohibitive. I'd love to see some games from the Lynx library "Recharged"!

Agree.  This feels like a great step into a game that hasn't already been rehashed 100 times.  I love it. 

I hope they do a new "Rescue on Fractalus" too, although I'll bet that involves permission from Lucasfilm. 

WHOAAAA Yes Sabertooth I missed it but I'm glad you pointed it out. Let's hope this is a hit!

Oooooooh!!!!

I will join in soon!  Too much to do, too little time. 
 

Thanks @Sabertooth! Hope this gives us all more reason to post cool updates more frequently! 

Yeah, very cool idea! Thanks, Justin!

THANK YOU @RickR It's something I've wanted to add for a long time and something that should've been native to the site to begin with. They have value beyond showing the handful of "Recent Status Updates" on the right of the Forums home page. In a community our size we should be able to scroll through and see everybody's updates, going back longer than just a couple of days. I think a dedicated Status Updates page is overdue and will work out awesome.

That's a neat idea!
 

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

OMG, I've been playing OG Doom and Doom 2 on my newly constructed retro-gaming laptop.  Also Quake and Quake 2.  I've still got a whole stack of other CD-ROM games to play.

I'm playing VCTR-SCTR and Neo-Breakout on Atari 50 (VCS). The Digital Eclipse folks really "get" the original games and recapture their spirit in the reimagined versions. They are hard to put down and well worth the price of entry.

I am playing Atari Mania and my children are trying to help me figure out the rules for each mini-game.
 

Ohhhhhhhhh lol
(Sligh difference, I see)

Yes, that's the Atari sitewide sale which began the past week. I'm talking about the VCS console e-store. VCS games should be on sale starting tomorrow!

It appears the sale has already kicked off! I see 20% off on the site!

You're 💯 @RickR!  The last few years have been the best output from Atari since at least the Hasbro-era, if not the Tramiel-era.  Fans who appreciate the change in direction need to support the company.
The Recharged titles have been excellent and new IP like Kombinera is inventive and in the spirit of old Atari, and the VCS is a great achievement from such a small team. I understand skepticism among old skool fans, the XP debacle and crypto.  That said, credit where credit is due. 

For the Hardware section, I think it means the VCS is still in production...just manufactured externally now.  That's how I read it anyway.

The financial numbers are not good.  I hope every gamer here who appreciates the new direction of Atari understands...WE NEED TO SUPPORT THEM as best we can by buying hardware and software.  The games they've been producing have been outstanding. 
 
 

Looks like a fun game, but I'm probably sitting this month out.  I don't own it, and I blew my budget on the Black Friday sale.  Good luck to everyone else though!

I did download the "Plex" app for VCS after watching Mockduck's youtube review.  That one is cool.  A lot of free tv content to watch. 

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.
 

Aha, I found this.  Yes!  I'm buying Atari Mana too.
