Ballistik Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Guess WHAT?!! A brand new Atari Jaguar emulator was released tonight! It's called BIGPEMU, it's free, plays in 4K, runs the ENTIRE Jaguar game library (with CD game support coming soon) & available now! Also: My Atari goodies arrived! What did I get? I unbox them for you, and also... a mysterious package also arrived from Europe bearing the name 'Microless.' What could it be?! STAY TUNED!

Very excited for this emulator even though I have a Jaguar Game Drive and a complete retail collection. I just love that more people will be able to experience the Jaguar. The Atari50 inclusions really don't do the platform justice- though Atari Karts, T2K and MC3D are all great. Ballistik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballistik Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Agreed, Saber! I have about 35 CIB Jag games so far and the game drive. I think it's also great for those to experience the Jag who have not yet. This is a free, easy way to enjoy those games for the first time! I also just got the Atari USB stick earlier tonight, will be doing a special on that soon. Unboxed it later on in this episode along with the Flashback 50 Gold.

Ballistik Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 On this surprise BCB episode, I take a look at the new Atari Flashback Gold 50th Anniversary Edition HD console, by atGames! It's currently not for sale in the U.S. but you can order it online. This version was made to celebrate Atari's 50th anniversary & contains a ton of ActiVision and Imagic games! It's an amazing little system. Don't let the Euro-plug fool you, you don't need it. Come watch me give a brief overview and play some of my favorite Atari 2600 games, with both the paddle and regular joystick. Enjoy! In this overview, I play: Beamrider, River Raid, Super Breakout, Crackpots, Video Pinball, Freeway, Space Raid, Demon Attack, and more! I plan on playing even more rare & homebrew games from this system on my other series,"That Atari Show," in the near future. Stay tuned! 😄 Sabertooth and MaximumRD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as FLASHBACKS I only have the original Flashback 2+. I was never interested in anymore once AtGames took over personally but I will say this seems pretty cool, also I was not aware that they had gotten so small, I mean that thing is tiny, I like it lol, have they all been this small since AtGames took over? Anyway, very cool.

Ballistik Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 On this Atari Newsline Newsflash, I set up the new Atari VCS PC Mode USB on my VCS for first use. In part 2, I set up RetroPie on the VCS in Debian. Bonus: My final Atari.com order has arrived! What could it be? Do you own the Atari VCS PC Mode USB & will you be installing RetroPie? What games do you want to play on it? Let me know in comments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, very cool. Yeah... I'm kinda kerfuffled (sp?) that Atari hasn't sold this in the U.S. or on their website. They could have made a small fortune to bring this to U.S. retail. My only guess is that they didn't have the money to do so, which is a shame. This was purchased from microless.com in Europe. Totally worth it and I love this thing 😉 I like not having to be connected to WIFI to play and how many Imagic and ActiVision games are included. It's awesome 😉 Thanks for the support, man! More to come... MaximumRD and Sabertooth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
