Atari 5200 Guy

This arrived today
 

It works.

My replacement Berzerk came today.  Let’s see if it works.

Y’all need to get you one of these
 

I have been upgraded
 

Cartridge slot pacifier! 
 

NeoSprint just got an update. It’s fun.

I grabbed NeoSprint. Thanks @Sabertooth. I don't recall seeing this email. I only got the email with the $5 discount code for ordering physicals from the Atari store. Anyways, I had been wanting to get NeoSprint for a while.

Grabbed this one:

Thank you for posting this or I would have missed it.

Not that it matters but I just got an email from Intellivision. Sounds like more BS to me. 
 
There was a time when I had high hopes for the Amico. But I soon realized how much of a bullshitter Tommy was becoming. He was always dancing around questions investors were asking. Never a direct answer about how soon the Amico was to be ready for release. But he would answer questions about what games were coming to it. 
 
I do place some of the blame of it failing on the pandemic. With it shutting down damn near the whole world it would have made it difficult to obtain the parts required to make it. But that’s over now. 
 
I have lost all interest in it. I’m glad I didn’t invest in it. I’m good with the VCS.

I stumbled across this looking for 5200 games I don’t have.
And they are sold on EBay here:

I'm also throwing up the white flag because it's become too frustrating for me. I continue to lose balls in every way imaginable despite the tips posted in this thread. I don't need a game's mechanics to keep my scores low; I can stink all by myself lol.

That's it. I'm gently putting the controller down and walking away.  Go get 'em @RickR!

Oh great. Now I have to try to break 400k? 🧐

I improved my score. 336,895!

I'll have to give this one another shot later.

I finally started focusing on the multiplier and earning extra balls instead of just trying to keep it in play. Also learned to slow down when the block is between the flippers and let it do it's job.
