Agreed.

Yoomp! Space Harrier Bruce Lee Rally Speedway Getaway!

Very nice. I've never played the 2600 game but this looks like fun.

Just curious, could you post a link to that interview?

I was playing on Altirra 4.00, NTSC 320K Compy. Same results with 64K. Haven't tried on real hardware yet.

If I let the game sit long enough for the 'attract mode' color cycling to kick in, the PMGs get corrupted. All returns to normal when I resume playing, though. Also, and unrelated, is the 'chase rate' of the deadly floor dots the same as in the original Bruce Lee? I seem to recall that in the original game (the Atari version at least), they were slightly faster than Bruce and would catch up if you didn't time things correctly. In Return of Fury, he can stay ahead of them.

SimCheck is your friend.

Any chance of you reviving that project? Please?? (sorry, I'll stop going off-topic. Rob 'n' Banks is a fine game! Enjoying it very much.)

You are correct, of course. My 800 has a PAL ANTIC in it. But it still produces the 'wrong' colors because of the NTSC GTIA. I think those games look just fine, not "like doo-doo" as Ricky Spanish suggests.

That's a bit harsh, I can think of several PAL-country-origin games that look perfectly fine on my NTSC equipment. Albert, Yoomp, Crownland, Little Princess, Marbled, Assembloids... many more...

I'll be playing this for the foreseeable future, thank you very much!

I'd be willing to wager a significant amount of money that this pile of crap will ship in the box pictured in the listing after being stacked back in it, with no packing material other than the handful of peanuts shown, and will arrive completely obliterated. RIP another 800.

I'm running it in Altirra on my second monitor as a screensaver. 👍👍

How is Stereo Pokey getting too far away from the original configuration?? This is an upgrade people figured out during the A8's original lifespan, using a chip already present in every Atari 8-bit. I had one in my 130XE back in the mid-late 80s. If anything, it's doubling down on a machine's Atari-ness.

Fortunately, the game does not implement the 'soup Nazi' $D014 check and works fine on NTSC-50 (PAL ANTIC swapped) NTSC machines.

I'll take a one-way ticket back to 1980something... Hell, I've often said I wish I could go to sleep on New Year's Eve 1989 and wake up on New Year's Day 1980. Just live the decade on a loop over and over...

Changing my list... the five I previously listed have been played to death, so instead, I'm considering five recent releases that I haven't given enough (if any) attention to. I've got the time now, so let's explore something new. Prince Of Persia - I've not gotten far at all in this excellent production Flob - Another I've barely scratched the surface on Star Vagrant - Haven't touched it yet but looks enjoyably deep Hibernated 1 Director's Cut - again, gotta have a text adventure for those times I feel like reading Stunt Car Racer - First-rate production I've barely touched Attack of the PETSCII Robots - sneaking in a sixth.

I liked the ATR swap button you wired to the light switch in the wall downstairs... damned if I can find that video now.

The 7800 with MARIA was literally made for a home version of Robotron 2084! My favorite port my a mile. One day, I'll shell out for one of those fancy Edladdin double joysticks...

Understatement of the year. To order from Best, one must either send an email directly to Brad, or call him on the phone. And I'll throw in my voice behind this upgrade. The difference is really stunning.

Thanks for the input, guys, but the cat responsible for soiling this 410 passed away today. I don't want to look at the deck, so I simply chucked it. I have two more 410s anyway. @Keatah Sorry for my snarky response, I was in a dark and 'medicated' place at the time.

Those are excellent choices to entertain yourself a few minutes at a time, but I (and others) chose titles a little more immersive with some depth. We don't know when we're getting rescued here!

Really enjoying this one. Fun, colorful, polished. This game would've been an excellent cart release when Atari introduced the XEGS. Maybe even as the pack-in game.

What do YOU care? I though emulation was the be-all end-all... Unless it's your beloved Apple II crap.
