Re: Atari Cosmos

I think Curt Vendel has one of these at the atari museum, not sure, though. If I ever see one in the wild I'll be sure to snag it (like that'll ever happen).

Oh, um can we turn the snow off? It reeks havok with my Apple.

Re: AT&T predicts the future in 1993

I was thinking, how many of those things has happened and AT&T missed the boat totally?? Tablet PC with fax-- most every pc company (I have three older ones) and now Apple and Nokia (couple years back) plus only every PDA that's ever been out there and has a modem NONE of them AT&T, voice ac...

Re: Atari 800 XL

My 800XL is here, and I have a broken one that's BOXED (still broken) and a 600XL. No tape deck, but two disk drives and the big dot matrix printer (1025?? can't remember). I have a few games for it but not nearly enough, but a whole box full of disk software that doesn't get near enough play time. ...

Re: Atari Flashback's

Huh, that's weird, suddenly there's news of an Atari Flashback 2+ to be released next month in limited quantities and at limited retailers. It's going to have 40 games, 20 new sports games, and backwards compatibility for all previous Atari controllers (!). Well, THAT'S a first. That's nice, but is...

Re: New Sega Zone system (Flashback-style)

Been following this at atariage and sega-16, seems it's going to be a pretty crappy clone. I'm not holding my breath, and bet they will be at flea markets and thrifts relatively quickly. There was a similar thing at the Dollar General for $40 over Christmas, called the Game Zone, I hav read it's the...

Re: Atari Flashback's

The Man himself Curt told me that that particular design is on the back burner, but it's ready to go to a manufacturer as soon as an investor invests in it. I would if I could, but can't find that extra 14K I had lying around :D j/k. I'm definitely looking forwad to any of the new Flashbacks and lov...

Re: Microsoft: 360 may not even be at mid-cycle yet

Not even mid-cycle? Designed for a long use?? There's too much wrong with it just going by the hardware failure rates to say anything like that. Heck, the original Xboxes are outliving the 360 :( My Atari 2600 has outlived everything so far!! Maybe they ought to restate and redefine, the newest arch...

Re: Anyone here own a Colorvision?

That is a really nice thing, and so oddly set up-- cart on the top? I love it! I can actually remember that from back in the day, but not too much of it. The odder the better! Top, slide-loading cart that light has to go through. Kind of surprised that type of tech still isn't with us mainstream. Na...

Re: Zelda Sequel Confirmed For 2010 (other big news too)

Great to hear that Zelda will keep going, that storyline is a blast. Motion controls for a DS? That I can live without. I think the idea came from the new Google phones (or maybe iPhones, too) they have all kinds of sensors in them; a lady showed me how her Google phone can be used as a level. For a...

Just got a 2nd reminder email...

Yes, and I thought I had been pretty active lately. But got that message that since the last reminder (which actually worked, been posting a bit) that my status hasn't changed.

Is this a moderator thing? Just wanted to bring it up. I know others might get that same message.

I looked in two different Walgreen's here and couldn't find it. They had the DreamGear thing, though, and I'm still gonna see if a couple of the other stores have it.

Maybe tomorrow I'll find it.

Re: Women play harder than men in online games, study finds

I can totally see this-- women/girls are less distracted. I know I'm quite distracted when playing any kind of game. Though I might be totally off-target. Can't really compare against anyone but myself, though.
