    Yes, I love this kind of thing.  The pictures from Mars have been spectacular.  And now the audio makes it that much more "you are there"-esque. 

     

    I agree, it's too bad the audio cut out during descent and landing.  It would have been so cool to hear what it sounded like in the thin atmosphere.

  2. I totally understand and can relate to the mindset.  If I had no past history with one, I wouldn't bother making it a priority either.  In your case @Atari 5200 Guy, I'd simply go with emulation.  That way you could check out 95% of the stuff out there for free and then keep what you want.  If you do decide to go with emulation, I recommend Classic 99. One word of warning though, it was about 8 years ago that I tried Tursi's emulator, and it sucked me in like a whirlpool.  I'm still trapped!

    Are you talking about adding in the 32k expansion module? Or something for the O2? I don't own an O2 nor desire to own one honestly.

     

    No I was simply commenting on not firing up the O2 and eventually getting rid of it due to lack of games.  Limited time and space affects my reality.

    Any chance to consolidate these into single zip files vs one by one grabbing?

    Sorry to say this, but... not by me.  I worked on that gargantuan list over a period of years, and am now I'm investing most of my free time trying to get this section up and self sustaining.  Also, this website does not currently allow the .ZIP extension or files over 9.77MB in a single message, so that would kind nix that.  Now, if you know of a site that would host a .ZIP file in perpetuity and allow the file to be constantly updated with newer versions or new files, that would be awesome.  It sound like a cool project for a retired person with lots of time on their hands. 

  5. @Airshack Now that you have your P-Box TIPI installed, make a DIS/VAR 80 (text file) in the TIPI root directory with the following information and tell me what you think.

    TIPIBEEPS
    BAR ON
    PROMPT=\c\p \g
    PATH=TIPI.LOADERS.;TIPI.FC.;TIPI.APPS.
    XMOD=XB28GEMG
    XBADDR=32325

    ECHO
    ECHO

    Omit the text in RED if you don't use GEM 2.8 as your Extended BASIC.

    ... I also own Alpiner, Parsec, and even Microsurgeon along with a few other physical carts for the system, but again, I rarely fire it up to use it.

    Yeah, I felt the same way about my Odyssey2  I only had three games for it, so was never really inspired to use it.  One more cartridge though could give you access to HUNDREDS of games.
