I remember someone who I worked with bragging about selling postcards of high priced items. Basically, hoping suckers would pull the trigger despite warnings in the description. He'd just make a new account when things got too dicey. Not very confident things have changed.

Nowadays for random browsing I use portable versions of Firefox https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable With uBlock Origin enabled https://ublockorigin.com/ Ran in Sandboxie that wipes any changes after closing the browser https://sandboxie-plus.com/ It's not paranoia if they're actually out to get you 😛

In truth I got grumpy since the community (and creator) seem to be leaning towards ROMs instead of supporting the cart slot for Aq+ games. For the average Joe ROMs make more sense. As a retro game developer and publisher I'm enamored with carts. 🙂

Selling the spiritual successor to Aquarius by Mattel. Not using it enough with all my other projects going. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1716171301/aquarius-signature-edition-with

Sorry to go partially off topic. Is this part of your C64 to 2600 project? I saw your post in other forums saying it got leaked / stolen. Hope you find a second wind with that project.

Selling off my game collection rarely has gotten me anything. Seems like you have to have a popular item at the right time. ..or be Jaguar related. Had to sell my Skunkboard to make rent once. 😕

I guess it depends on your scenario. My first thought was a small solar panel kit that charges up batteries. The second thought was that the Lynx eats batteries. So, would probably emulate the Lynx on something more versatile like the Dingoo 320 or PSP - both of which have TV out for projector use.

I didn't understand the nomination process this year. That factored in to my Atari 2600 titles not getting voted on. A couple might have gotten disqualified due to technicalities. I am grumpy about it due to my own failings and lack of traction in the scene. But, feelings pass. Actions last.

I subscribed to your channel so I can catch yer videos. Hopefully I can provide some useful input and see if you're interested in checking out any new games I cook up. Usually I collaborate with John Hancock on games. He gives me a theme to go for and I whittle it down into something that I can actually program 🙂 He brings carts to expos and charities. I self publish doing as much production myself as possible. These last three releases are unusual in that he bought the publishing rights outright. So, that's why you see them on multiple platforms (physical cart, digital download and VCS).

I tried to leave this comment on YouTube but it mysteriously went bye bye. So, i'll post it here 🙂 Hey there! I’m Gemintronic the developer of those two games. Thought they were destined to be cart only so I was surprised when I discovered they were on the VCS storefront! Hopefully more actual 2600 games get the same treatment. All the code, graphics and sound were done my me. Some screens in the hardest difficulty of Retro Game Quest are procedurally laid out. However, all the room layouts in C@tacombs of Chaos are procedurally generated. A little ashamed that some aspects of our games require reading the manual. Pick up and play is a hallmark of pre-Nintendo gaming. In Retro Game Quest when the timer turns purple you can press FIRE to fly through walls. Also, the red bar at the lower left hand side in C@tacombs is your life. If you pick up a potion you may press FIRE heal your HP. I reached out on Facebork if you have more questions 🙂

Thank you, Sir! That means something from a connoisseur of retro gaming like yourself 🙂 I think 8 Bit Milli did good with his first published 2600 title. Usually he does Coleco stuff. Got nothing but positive feedback on the game itself. Though, since Zero Page homebrew reads the manual as they play, there was some anxiousness on my part during their stream 🙂

Looks like 8 Bit Milli Games is now shipping Dragon Chalice for the Atari 2600. https://8bitmilligames.com/dragon-chalice.html Demo ROM here: https://forums.atariage.com/topic/351890-dragon-chalice-2600-8-bit-milli-release/ Zero Page Homebrew first play video here:
