  3. Would Atari Lynx have worked as a Nintendo Switch style game console?

    Imagine if that were a built in feature of the Jaguar!!!

     

    That image and thought makes my heart skip a beat. Thankfully we can almost do that now with the exception of connecting external controllers.

    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...

    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:

     

    1. Eat a cell from the shield: 1 TRON
    2. Touch the Qotile: 2 TRONS
    3. 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.

    Coleco Chameleon (formerly Retro VGS)

    in ColecoVision

    funny, considering John was (kind of) defending how the Coleco Chameleon was a prototype on his fb wall

     

    Edit: DeLorean beat me to it haha

      

    well, Gamester81 (John Lester) is not a tech guy, may be the guy with less or null knowledge of coding and programming in that company. Either he hypes the product out of ignorance or is a sellout, you decide.

      

    Both?

      

    John Lester is taking a page from Mike Kennedy and is starting to delete everything involved with this, I wish that he would be a bit more honest as to what was his involvement. If he was just being a mouthpiece or got paid for his actions. But to act like nothing happened is a bit childish. But then again here comes the pitchforks and torches....

    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.

    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

    Sean J. Michelin on Facebook made a good point with his comment "No working prototype = no Kickstarter, as per Kickstarter's rules. Simple math."

    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.

    I agree with you but what do we know for sure about this? Reading a post suggesting something on Facebook doesn't really mean it's true. This still seems like merky waters to me.

     

    Kudos go to the Retro VGS team for the $135 price, for the games, for demoing at the NY Toy Show, and for doing what they said they'd do to turn it all around. I'd like to see more though. I'd like to see them outline everything really easy peasy on their website so we know what's what.

     

    Seems like what they're really missing are the dies to the Jaguar controllers which would have the numbers on it but they'd probably get ripped for that too.
