Sabertooth

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

That's a Flashback Friday photo for sure @Justin!
Atari.io OG rocker patches anyone?

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! 
 

And shoutout to @RickR and his Adventure backpack from 2014

That's as punk as it gets. Love it 🔥 I really liked what you did with the battle jacket look in 2014

I stuck to Breakout titles for the video but its hard not to count Warlords, Off the Wall and Arkanoid! Crazy Brix for the 7800 is also amazing!

Super Breakout on the 2600! Or Warlords if that counts.

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

THANKS TO ALL FOR THE BIRTHDAY COMMENTS AND MESSAGES, I KEEP IT LOW KEY AND APPRECIATE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE A LOT THESE DAYS, CAN'T BELEIVE I AM NOW 54 ! THE TIME GOES SO FAST,  BUT KNOW THAT I APPEACIATE ALL THAT TOOK A MOMENT TO WISH ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! 😎👍🍻Having port right now. Wine, a nice meal and cocoanut cream pie for dessert, just the two of us quiet at home, similar to Melissa's birthday on the 18th, we just kind of combine birthdays and valentines. Just keeping it simple.

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

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.

This looks like another big reason to pick up a VCS! How do you feel about the color palette?

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.

Also, American Psycho isn't a half bad record. It's not the Classic Misfits but it's good campy fun and Graves does his best to stand-in for Glenn Danzig.

Happy Birthday and very best wishes @MaximumRD

And the absolutely incredible immersive experience Back To The Future: The Ride. Stunning accomplishment even today.

So awesome! I love it! 

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

Your stop-motion skills are astounding!  Nicely done. 
 

The mail person left me a personal note apologizing for marking it "delivered" the day prior and delivered the box yesterday.  All is well.  Never panic, things tend to work out.
The cost is $180.  While that is expensive, it's much less daunting than the cost of the actual "must-have" games at this point.  Also, Jag emulation stinks, so it feels like a very good option to me. 
 

Definitely solid choices! I'd also give Defender 2000, Missile Command 3D, Zero5 and Skyhammer a shot!

Tempest 2000 is the one I want to try first.  Then AVP.
 
 

Beautiful work @Sabertooth! That graphic is top shelf, thank you for getting the word out 

I just read a fascinating set of books about Star Trek (The Fifty Year Mission / Marc Altman) with all kinds of juicy gossip and behind-the-scenes info.  Examples:  Bob Justman came up with and pushed for Patrick Stewart as Jean Luc Picard.  Gene Roddenberry HATED the idea but eventually gave in due to not finding his ideal.  He figured that Will Riker would take on that action/Kirk role, which is something you see a lot of in season 1. 
Anyway, I highly recommend those two books.  I checked them out at the library.
