  1. If that's how much they sell for in the US it seems expensive compared to the other Flashbacks
  2. 2 years ago we threw the most dank online Atari Halloween Party everrr!! It's what got our epic chats started. We're you there? http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/85-giveaway-live-chat-atari-trivia-wed-october-29-2014-9pm-est-6pm-pst/

      I was there ad a blast!

  3. It's cool of Tim Lapetino to talk about the 2700 in the book. There's a new 2700 section on Atari I/O that's about to go full blast. I wonder how much he goes into the 2700 in his book. It's my favorite version of the 2600 I wish they had been sold
  4. Those are all awesome choices Kid!! I've been listening to my favorite eels song lately:
  5. I voted for Freeway too! I've always liked it better than Frogger
  6. Imagine if that were a built in feature of the Jaguar!!! Yep! You're right. Those McWill Lynx mods are super duper! It's like 80% there already. I wonder what more it would take to add a controller port or build a docking station like in Justin's picture...
  7. Yes!! You've always been so nice MaximumRD! The gaming world needs you
  8. THANK YOU for all the lovely birthday wishes!! You guys are great <3

  9. I like the way you host the show. You speak clearly but not overly professional or anything. No Swear Gamer is good at that too. Too many shows on youtube hosted by guys half-mumbling in their spare bedroom uhh and umming their way to 100,000 views. This feels upbeat and well made. And I like your family a lot too
  10. Congrats MightyMattD who won the Ultimate Yars High Score Challenge! Thanks to all of you who came out to play our HSW High Score Challenge today!!! Good to see everybody :]

      Greenween, if you get a new high score you should post it to the Scoreboard

  11. OK time's up! Put your joysticks down everybody! CONGRATS MIGHTYMATTD WHO SCORED 167,248!!! All of you posted scores that were pretty close and enjoyed a great game! This was a lot of fun I hope we can do this again next year for Howard Scott Warshaw Day! Thank you to RickR, greenween, MightyMattD and chas10e for showing up, having a fun time and making this a really fun event See you back here next year for our next HSW High Score Challenge!
  12. The opening of your show is totally rad. There's no Saturday more classic than playing something like Yars Revenge with the family. Those were good scores too!
  13. That's a great score Rick! Ultimate Yars is something wild
  14. I'm starting this show this weekend. Everybody's been bugging me to watch. It looks great!
  15. Yars' Revenge Atari 2600 Controller: PLAYER'S CHOICE Difficulty Level: GAME 6 - ULTIMATE YARS Achieve high score to win challenge Play on: Real Hardware / Dedicated Console / Emulation OK! ✔ Squad Challenge ends 11:59 pm PST July 30th, 2016 Objective: Play for the highest possible score using the difficulty settings defined in the challenge. Post a photo or video of your score in this thread. Scores must be achieved on Howard Scott Warshaw Day, July 30th, 2016! Screen captures are not allowed as they are easily manipulated for falsified scores. Multiple submissions are permitted. The player with the highest score at the end of the HSW Day competition is the victor. Eligibility: Anyone can join in. All players are welcome! Play Rules: Games may be played on real hardware, dedicated console, or emulation, using any controller or keyboard, following rules and game settings as delineated in the Squad Challenge. Enhancements and hacked versions of this game are not allowed. Difficulty Level: ULTIMATE YARS: GAME 6 - Ultimate Yars features a bouncing Zorlon Cannon, plus some unusual twists that distinguish it from the other Yar games. First, you must bounce the Yar against the left side of the screen to make the Zorlon Cannon appear. Also, to make the cannon appear, you need five TRONS. TRONS are units of energy which you can collect at the following rate: Eat a cell from the shield: 1 TRON Touch the Qotile: 2 TRONS Catch a Zorlon Cannon shot after it bounces off the shield: 4 TRONS If a Yar bounces on the left side with less than five TRONS, it will not get a shot, but it won't lose the TRONS it has either. (Each time a Yar is destroyed, it loses its TRONS). Each Yar has a capacity of 255 TRONS. If a Yar tries to take on more than that, it will short out and the Yar will lose all its TRONS. The count of TRONS is not displayed on the screen. Yar scouts understand the count instinctively. Fair Play: Players should play fairly, be honest, and have fun! Falsified scores will result in your immediate removal from the site. It goes without saying that no use of cheats, hacks, cartridge frying, enhancements, Photoshop, subterfuge, or any other unfair advantage is allowed. Everybody hates a cheater.

  16. Yep here they come... Gamester81 is a male bimbo. He's a likable guy but he doesn't seem very intelligent to me. He kinda just stands there with his box of stuff and goes "yup, that's cool." He’s a total bimbo. He went to the biggest party school ever, seriously google it, it churns out mediocre porn workers like a sausage factory and his YouTube show is basically 1st grade show and tell. Classic gaming has too many clueless male bimbos (not you guys!) in power roles. ALL of these bad situations in classic gaming are because of this!!! They prance around YouTube with their hats on backwards and end up in charge of things that they're totally unqualified to be doing. Passion project or not. When they try to milk their popularity for money, they get in over their heads and people get burned. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Whenever there's a new "retro" console/module/ pie in the sky something that doesn't live up to the hype, you can always bet there’s a stumblebum male bimbo there with his hand out asking for your money and not getting the job done. These guys are absolutely clueless. The bimbo part comes in when they think they can lie to us, manipulate us, deceive us and play us for fools like we can't see EXACTLY what they've done. They rely on the "good ‘ol boy" network of ditzy male bimbos to support them and to attack people as a hater or a mob if you have the balls to ask them to just clear this up. This is absolutely outrageous and everyone attached to this from Gamester81 to Mike Kennedy had better get real transparent real fast before they're hit with serious lawsuits from every side. Coleco holdings already has reason to believe they're in breach of contract. People go to jail for stuff like this! It's not just Mike Kennedy pushing this circus show, it's Gamester81 and every other ditzy male bimbo who let this get as far as it did. These guys are totally incompetent and nobody seems to be talking about mass support of mass incompetence as a problem. These guys F--ed their way into this mess and they'll try to F-- their way out.
  17. Um..... Excuse me.. How is Collectorvision disavowing themselves of the Coleco Chameleon like they're victims kept in the dark just as much as we have been, when in fact they've been making posts leading people to believe their games "play great" on the Chameleon prototype? Right before the Toy Fair, Collectorvision posted this photo of the Coleco Chameleon "Prototype 1" dev unit and cartridge next to a TV that makes it look like the Chameleon prototype is playing their game. Collectorvision posted the following message: "One of our games we're working one, (sic) Sydney Hunter and the Caverns of Death running on the upcoming Coleco Chameleon prototype system. It plays great on it, and it will be playable at this weekend's New York Toy Fair event." EXPLAIN THIS SHIT
  18. I was thinking the same thing. It's obvious they ran into a delay with the prototype going into the toy fair. If they didn't have it ready to go this week they can't launch their Kickstarter. I expected they were delayed and that's why I was curious to see what they'd announce today.
  19. Show of hands... is this more or less what everyone expected to happen today?
  20. Approaching 4PM Friday on the east coast and still awaiting word on the Coleco Chameleon Kickstarter. As of now there are no updates to their official website, Facebook or Twitter. Stay tuned Coleco Chameleon Kickstarter info: http://www.engadget.com/2016/02/16/coleco-chameleon-retro-video-game-system-kickstarter/
  21. Tomorrow is the big day to launch their Kickstarter campaign. I'm patiently waiting to see what's going to happen. You can't start a Kickstarter without real hardware. They're still denying accusations about what happened at the Toy Fair, but notice they say "Our software was running the games" and don't say anything about hardware. Weird
  22. "Eagle-eyed viewers will note something familiar about the system's design as well: It looks like an Atari Jaguar." - Engadget http://www.engadget.com/2016/02/18/coleco-chameleon-atari-2600/ THIS IS EVERYTHING WRONG WITH GAMING JOURNALISM
