Lost Dragon

(Willie!) Well since I cannot find a Atari Light Gun at a decent price, lets build a adapter to use my Sega Phaser!

(Willie!) so stoked that Venture has come out for the 5200! loved this game in the arcade!

Its Sir Willie! versus those pesky Orcs in Orc Attack! on the Atari 8-bit computer!

What a cool emulator for the MicroVision!

Lets solve some puzzles with Ghost Willie! in Castle Hassle!

I would not hang out with any of these people ????

There is controller support via bluetooth. However at that why not just have it on your 3DS? 
 
That said, I like this. Not a mobile gamer at all but I might DL a title or 2 for fun!

Really cool but these will require a BT controller to work properly.

Yeah, playing anything aside from solitaire on a touch screen is pure torture.

Me either which is why I have THIS ANDROID device 
 

Stay safe.

Ha, that's great!
 
I'm hoping we end up getting some rain from Cindy.

I'm on the line, ArenaFoot is to the right of it!   Hunker down Feetz!

How on earth are you making that earth? Are you throwing the system into an alternate mode? Your earth looks like it's being generated by a 16-bit graphics engine. I've never seen anything like that on an Atari 8-Bit. Is this on a cartridge? Can you explain a bit about what is going on here (with the earth during end credits) and how this is possible on an Atari 8-Bit?

Tempest Elite Commentary:
 

Got both of my NES Zelda games and the Nelsonic watch at Caldor. We didn't have one in the Atari days.

Caldor was my go-to store here in CT for all things Atari & Star Wars. Lots & lots of memories shopping there.

That is cool.  I had never heard of this store chain. 

Here is a vintage Caldor newspaper ad for Atari and ColecoVision games. This ran in the Poughkeepsie Journal on Friday, March 11, 1983. I think it's interesting that they're advertising Donkey Kong for Atari 2600 in the ColecoVision section. It was a Coleco product, but better suited in the Atari section, not mixed in with ColecoVision games. That seems like it would be confusing to some. My first thought was "Why would they be advertising Donkey Kong on its own if it came with every ColecoVision sold?" Then I saw it was for the 2600. Also notice that by March, 1983 E.T. was already marked down to $14.76. E.T. had retailed for around $40 during the 1982 Christmas shopping season only a few months earlier. That's quite a price drop!
 

 
Caldor was a discount retailer that was popular in the North East during the 1970s and 1980s. Caldor could best be explained as K-Mart dressed up to look like JCPenny. The interior of each Caldor store was designed to look more like a department store than a discounter, and many were even designed by the same firms used by more up-scale retail environments. They featured wide aisles, bright lighting, and large, colorful display treatment, and were typically remodeled every 6 years. They were best recognized for "The Caldor Rainbow" with a mix of brown, yellow, and orange. Caldor struggled to compete against Wal-Mart and filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection in 1999. Here are some vintage pictures of Caldor:
 

 

Some very interesting black & white photos from the early 80's California video game arcades:

So who has what it takes to code the official Jag Bar video game? Let's give the nerd a run for his money

I am currently working on learning how to port my prior Atari 8-bit releases to the Atari 5200. The possible games include: "Amok Bots", "Delta Space Arena", "Laser Blast X", "Megaoids", "Secretum Labyrinth Kings Gold", and "Venture". I have to remind everyone this is a work in progress as I learning what is going with the game running on the 5200. Crashes often and tracing what is going on can be frustrating. I am trying to figure out how to read IRQ keypad. First thing I did was get it to the point of getting the games own title screen to come up on screen so I know the program is set up to all the 5200 memory address correctly. There  will be announcements when the game is done and beta tested. We have my own trusted beta testers. Chances are these games will not be available for awhile so I ask everyone to be patient. I will post updates and announce when the games become available.
 
"Secretum Labyrinth Kings Gold" will be an enhanced version of the freeware/demo that was released on the Atari 8-bit. I am going to put in a few extra things that are not in the 8-bit version to make purchasing it worthwhile. "Secretum Labyrinth The Legend" required a 64K ROM and a 64K Atari Computer. From what I can see, there is not any bank switching cartridges available for the 5200. I know about the 40K Bounty Bob cartridges, but no one has those anymore.

This guy's channel is dedicated to restoring and customizing Hot Wheels cars, and its oh so satisfying to watch.
 

For those of you interested in this story, the whole story including the people involved in this incredible find will be doing a presentation and reveal of the Aztarac in it's full working glory at Free Play Florida november 17-19 2017.   I am one of the founders and operators of the event, hope to see some of you there!

agreed. the game is not as smooth as defender on the 8-bit/5200, its a bit rugged and jerky.
 
 
you are welcome.
 
 
this problem goes back even further than the typical jack t. antics.
 
 
it should have been. it was a natural for the 5200 joysticks.
