    I recall Disney Quest (R.I.P) having a Trog arcade machine isolated from the other machines for some reason, and a bunch of Fix it Felix Jr.s in their own section of the arcade to promote Wreck it Ralph. I wouldn't call Fix it Felix Jr. obscure, it's more that they got a limited release and were put on location exclusively in Disney property with a scant amount sold to private collectors.

    Thought I'd show off my summer project. It works with the Atari 7800, Colecovision, and pretty much anything that supports an Atari 2600 joystick. It may also work with the Sega Master System and SG-1000, but I don't have a Master System or Power Base Converter to check.

    With how many times Biff misspells "forums", it makes me wonder if he's either allergic to spellcheckers, or if he rejects the correct spelling and substitutes his own.

    In other news, Burger King is now selling $1 tacos...that is all.

    Got this Super Pong Ten console for $15 from the Flea Market.

    I don't think anybody pointed this out and I didn't notice it until now, but the Ataribox thread is two years old! Here's to another year of tacos, Speakerhats, and release delays!

    I don't know, my devkit looks more like this.

    Mowing the lawn while listening to Dark Side of the Moon is an interesting experience.

      Breathe, breathe in the air
      Don't be afraid to care
      Leave but don't leave me
      Look around and choose your own ground
      For long you live and high you fly
      And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
      And all you touch and all you see
      Is all your life will ever be

      [Verse 2]
      Run, rabbit, run
      Dig that hole, forget the sun
      And when at last the work is done
      Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
      For long you live and high you fly
      But only if you ride the tide
      And balanced on the biggest wave
      You race towards an early grave

      Be careful you don't space out to much.  In the end, you'll realise you just mowed all the lawns, garden beds, garden gnomes, the neighbours lawn, pets and the postman!

    I'm loving the new mobile skin so far. I never really used the previous one because it was so different from the desktop skin.

      Yeah, the old mobile skin was pretty terrible!  And you can use any of the skins on a mobile device and they should all work just as well, which wasn't even an option before.

    $389.99 for what is essentially an OUYA: vaporware edition? You got to be kidding me! Also I'm not all that surprised that the "prototype" or what ever is just a bunch of random tech crap crammed into a clear case; It seems that the VCS may go the way of the Coleco Chameleon at this rate. They're getting down graded to "Fish Taco" status for this!

    I store my Intellivision overlays in this small baseball card binder I found at a Goodwill a while ago.

    After having to build a paralell port dongle to bypass the BIOS password screen, I'm now able to finally use the Toshiba Satellite 315CDS I bought a couple of weeks ago.

    Galaga was my jam when I had Namco Museum DS when I was younger. I have the first two bonus round patterns memorized and would make it to around round 11 or so. I'm probably not as good as I used to be, but I can't help but play a game or two whenever I find a Galaga cabinet.

    Are the play heads on the tape deck clean? If not, then it's a good idea to clean them with q-tips and rubbing alcohol, as dirty tape heads can hinder the tape decks ability to read the data off the cassette. It's also a good idea to crack open the tape deck and check if the drive belt is stretched.

    The slight redesign is neat and all, but it really doesn't matter much if they keep insisting on showing us renders instead of an actual prototype, which I doubt they will ever build. Looks like I got what I wanted. Maybe they were listening...nah probably not. Also since Atari didn't take an eternity to update us this time, here's a triple decker taco.

    Delayed again? I was kinda hoping for Atari to release another update for us to make fun of. I bet by the time the pre-order date or "release date" or whatever comes, they'll either cancel the "project" or, more likely than not, delay it again. So while we wait, here's a double decker taco.

    Here are my second and third entries.

    Got the C64 working again. Had to replace a few chips and get my PSU serviced. Hopefully this new board will fare better than the old board.

    For my first entry, I created a maze based off the one from the Atari 2600 port of Pac-Man.
  21. The Mr. Video
    My guess is Super Breakout.

    Unless there's hard evidence that someone bought the rights from Playaround, it's safe to assume that the game is abandonware. Also why a film adaptation? If anything I think Yars' Revenge is more deserving of a movie.
  23. The Mr. Video
    The flashing screen means the game is generating a maze, which happens both at start up and when the reset switch is pressed, so yeah it's normal. The flashing also happens in Video Chess whenever the computer opponent is making a move. I don't know exactly why it happens though.

    My "console" has a first name, it's A-T-A-R-I. My "console" has a second name, it's F-E-A-R-G-A-L. I doubt it more everyday, and if you ask me why, I'll say: 'cause Atari SA has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A.

    Been making progress on a new C64 board I'm working on. It's rewarding to see the board getting more functional and I do see it eventually working perfectly.

      What does this board do?

      Right now it outputs a mostly blank basic screen with some garbage on the screen, and if I turn the board on with Star Post plugged in, then the game loads, but looks glitchy and sometimes crashes.
