The Professor reacted to Clint Thompson in My Favorite Atari Arcade Game
Now that you mention it Dan, I would love to have a custom made Tempest 2000 cabinet made. Always thought I would get around to making one but I don't have any of the time, space or skill for such an adventure.

I would be happy with a pair of Virtuality SU1000s...

Tempest is also a great choice! Any vector game really, since those aren't quite the same in MAME.

That sit down cabinet Star Wars is soooooo cool! Made you totally feel like you were in an X-Wing!
I think my "lottery" splurge would be a Tron machine, in all it's black-light glory! It's hard to find a good image that does it justice...but this cabinet in a dark room.....oh baby! It's not Atari, I know.

The Professor reacted to nosweargamer in M-Network 1982 Atari 2600 Catalog
Here's another one that I posted to my facebook and twitter.
M-Network game cartridges are my least favorite design due to the tiny labels and the difficulty in storing them due to their Intellivison cartridge shell Frankensteined to fit in a 2600.

The Professor reacted to Clint Thompson in Halt and Catch Fire
I've only taken the time to watch the first episode and really enjoyed it. Wanted to see more but it's kind of been on the back burner for some time now as I prefer to somewhat binge watch my series, like I just did with Silicon Valley the other day. Haven't had Netflix in a while but I'll be signing up again for it soon so I can burn through these two seasons as well

The Professor reacted to Sabertooth in Watch The American Hero Movie Online
One of the reasons that I'm so fascinated by the Jaguar era of Atari Corp. is that they would try random things like this. It seems like Atari didn't have a unified vision for the platform or what a next generation console could/should be. As a result, they spent millions on developing new concepts/innovations as if in an effort to "find" the right formula that would resonate with consumers. The American Hero "GameFilm" concept is a prime example. It was an attempt to up the ante for FMV games by providing players choice that would change the outcome. It was not really fun outside of the glorious camp. Also, by '95 the FMV trend was losing steam and Atari's concept was well off the mark. Playstation and Saturn would essentially ignore FMV altogether in favor of 3D rendered cutscenes.
To be fair, in the early-mid 90s game developers were struggling to take advantage of the CD-rom medium. Instead of making bigger, better games with great soundtracks, they tried to wow us with FMV clips and "interactive" movies. This really plagued the earliest CD platforms (Sega CD, CDi, 3DO, PC) the most. American Hero, had it been commercially released, would have been among the worst of these curiosities.

Updated: Star Force is gone, but I added a Golf in Box with sleeve, but missing manual and original Styrofoam. Also, the box is a bit faded and has a piece of scotch tape on top. This is in addition to loose copies of Joust, Raid on Bungeling Bay and Ice Hockey.
