[Rainbow Invaders Label Contest - Winner Announced!]

Did the winner ever get posted anywhere?

[Stelladaptor 2600 to USB Interface]

Wow! This is awesome! I will order one soon!!

[Did anyone ever get a Communist Mutants from Space poster?]

I'm a definite fan of this game. Great name, awesome artwork and a solid supercharger game!

[Cartoon Character / Comic Book Character Games]

I would really consider the Flash Gordon cart to be a movie tie-in game and not a cartoon tie-in based on the artwork from the 1980 movie being used etc. But obviously there have been Flash Gordon cartoons and comics. (Alex Raymond rules!)

Bugs I like but I can't see how anyone could enjoy Ssnake. Ssnake is not a paddle game and once you figure out how to avoid the Snake in the game you can just keep playing it forever without being killed. You just keep moving in the same circular pattern. Seems pointless. Please enlighten me if I'm wrong here. I tried to check out the manual but the link doesn't work. (Perhaps a casualty of the server move?) So moral of the story, get Bugs if you like paddle games and aren't easily frustrated, but it is definitely wise to avoid Data Age games in general. At least if you plan on playing the games in your collection.

No need to feel guilty about Circus Atari! That is a great game. I like most of the paddle games really, which includes my guilty pleasure: Bugs.

[Backfire Label Contest]

Congrats to PDF! I thought your labels were some of the best.

 

Matt Reed, I really like the style of that illustration you did. It's reminiscent of the kind of art featured on some of the ol' Atari packaging, catalogs and instruction manuals. Did you use markers/colored pencils or is that painted?

 

DaveD thanks for the kind words!! I painted this with acrylics. I really like the look of the old Atari labels with hand-done/painted artwork. I'm glad you could see that was what I was going for.

[Praise for the Atariage store!!!]

The atariage store rules! My girlfriend ordered Synthcart for me on Labor Day and we had it by Thursday! Amazing.

[Paul Slocum's Mr Roboto]

my favorite hack

 

Forgive my ignorrance but what are you guys talking about? Mr Roboto? What is this a hack of?

[Thrust+ Platinum Announced]

That theme song is so cool!! I'm gonna have to get one of these just to hear that coming from my Atari. Nice work!
