  1. I don’t care what anyone thinks of me but as far as I am concerned now is an appropriate time to put up Christmas decorations.

  2. Anyone know if JUSTIN our site / community creator is OK? Concerned with the chaos of Hurricane Ian in Florida. I attempted to message him here and INSTAGRAM and noticed he had not visited here in a while so just wondering. Hope is is well. 🙁🤷‍♂️

      Very glad you guys are safe!  And I hope your Ataris managed to keep the fort down for you with much loss or damage.

  5. I am slowly building the game room out.  Super slow, but enjoying every moment.

      I'm going to pick Colecovision.  I miss the one I had and I should have never sold it.  But...I had to see what the 5200's competition had to offer.  I didn't really care for the controllers.  Mine seemed a bit mushy.

      Thanks for the kind words.  I'm trying to find a way to have some kind of outlet.  My STe is out for the moment.  I had a hard time deciding what machine to setup for a while.  The less cords right now the better so the STe won.

      Love your setup.  And don't feel bad.  I spend most of my time in the living room.  My game room is more like going to a library.  I go in, grab what I want, play it in the living room for a bit, then return it.  It works best for my situation.  I don't spend too much time in that room like I would want to because I have a hard time hearing my wife if she would need me for something.  I've spent since January trying to get it like I want it.  I got the poster from my youngest nephew so I'm trying to make that a focal point.  My shelves on the left are from Wal-Mart but after I bought those two the store quit carrying them.  I've not found another like those and I seriously need more shelves.  Since my wife is now confined to a hospital bed in our living room I have had to find another area to try to setup a single system.  Not an easy thing to do.

      We got a three bedroom apartment end of last year and I claimed one of the rooms. I've been reorganizing it but...16616122298361571803145273940022.jpg.d0396941f360885b0887c0b0b176630b.jpg

      I got a ways to go.  Good luck with your game room.  Keep us posted!

  8. Thinking about how all other iterations of Atari's iconic "fuji" logo were egregious.

    Am I the only one whose skin crawls whenever a YouTuber uses the Infogrames flared fuji in a video? Ghastly!

  9. Hopefully you guys will find this a little interesting.  It's an Atari ST version of "Arctic Fox" in the EA album-style box!

  10. ☹️R.I.P Hidekazu Yukawa, face of the #SEGA #Dreamcast in Japan. He was everywhere for the launch of the DC : commercials, console boxes, merch, and he even had his own game (Yukawa Motosenmu no Otakara Sagashi). You can also see him in “What’s Shenmue”

  12. Remember when TBS started every show five minutes late? Everything would be at 10:05 PM etc.

  13. 🤔Can't We Just Get Beyond Thunderdome?

  14. Free right now:  Demon's Tilt for Windows.  Thank you @Atari 5200 Guy for the heads up on this.

  18. ME: Is it weird to talk to yourself? 🤔
    ALSO ME: No.

  19. I like the clubs. I think it would be cool to see a club for the A8 and ST computers.  Clubs are hard to find for those these days. Maybe Atari IO could resurrect a computer club by starting its own.

  20. 📰 Microsoft has acquired Activision for $70B+

  21. One of my favorite possessions. My daughter met most of the cast at a convention in Arkansas a couple years ago.

  22. Currently playing IS3 on the PSOne. I was a huge fan of the Jaguar games and this takes everything developers Eclipse Software learned on the two earlier titles and cranks it to 11. Like IS2, it's a bit on the hard side but still very enjoyable. IS3 was also on the Nuon.

    Any fans of this or the other IS games?

  24. Once again after more tweaking and organizing, I am really enjoying the look and feel of Windows 11 on our main Desktop PC. AMD Ryzen 5 1500X Quad-Core Processor, 16GB, GTX 1060 6GB, Windows 11 Pro 😎🤘

      Yes.  I'm happy with 10 and I've not had any issues from the OS.  For me, it's been the best Windows version I've ever used.

      Maybe someday I'll make the switch to 11...but not now.
