    Awesome stuff, guys!  
    Creeper, you will like those INTV games.  I didn't care for the controllers much because they cramped my hands pretty good but Burgertime, Auto Racing, Night Stalker, and Lock n Chase were my favorites on the console.

    Defender 2 is a blast!  I love that keyring!!  I'll have to try and find one.  That is cool!  Now only if you could get a LCD keyring, joystick, and combat, you'd be good to go. 😉

    I could not keep myself from laughing out loud when I saw this.  That would have been my first few times trying Mute City III.  But draw one line over the edge, jumping into oblivion, and that would have been me.  I don't know how it happened but another craft ran into me at that section and blew up which caused my car to leave the track, like I hit a ramp.  BOOM!  I ended up being a firework show.
    I can't express enough how much I love this game!  I think I know what my New Resolution is going to be.  Get this game and get my SNES completed so I can enjoy it.  I could spend days on this game.

    Atari 5200 Guy got a reaction from Justin in RED ALERT: Please Read! BIG Changes Coming to the Atari I/O Forums!   
    Actually, after taking web design courses, its worse.  I've had a simple CSS add-on throw a whole site out of whack.  Removing the add-on only made matters worse.  Best thing I found to do was to back up the entire site before adding/changing anything.  This way should an error occur you can return back to a working model before changes were performed.  It is a headache when just one thing can upset the whole project.
    When I was developing my web site project I thought I could use the same inner pages for both 2600 and NES games.  The NES games did not like the settings and design the 2600 games used requiring their own page.  Planning on paper helped, using mock ups made in an imaging program helps a lot.
    Also, idea for a header image to go behind the Atari.io name if you plan to do it.  An image showcasing all the Atari hardware, mostly right justified so it doesn't fight the site name. Just a thought.

    I just use the shoulder buttons to dodge those.  Light taps work best.  Best driving line as you enter that section is diagonal.  If you hit one it will remain gone for the duration of the race.  Practice to find the best method that works best for you but those would be my tips.

    Hmmm.  What games would have complimented the Jaguar?  One game I could think of did not come out until the Saturn/PlayStation/N64 era.  RUSH.  Would have been a good racer to have.  Revamps of Hard Drivin' and Race Drivin' might have helped but might have also just added insult to injuries already gracing the console.  Atari use to be good obtaining licenses to develop titles third parties wouldn't do.  I am surprised they did obtain some of Sega's arcade games like OutRun and Space Harrier.  Since Jag was getting old PC titles it might have helped to browse the library of ST games and revamp those to take advantage of JAG's architecture.  Some Microprose titles would have been neat, a few simulations thrown in, and it really needed more adventure/RPG games.  All of which the STs got. 
    Atari should have researched what types of games were selling well on their computers and went from there.  MIDI Maze was a simple multiplayer death match that could have showcased the JAG's networking abilities.  There's lots that would have complimented it.  I believe the Tramiels really never understood the video game market.  They failed to listen and see what customers were playing the most and what they wanted.

    Don't let your craft hit full throttle at starting line.  You want between half and full throttle.  Quick taps will help maintain throttle.  Time your button mashes with the countdown.  Mash button as soon as GO is displayed.  Its a timing thing combined with 3/4 throttling.  You will get a boost and then the vehicle will lose power.  Keep holding down throttle to get speed back.  Rest is just navigating the track.
