? Poor bastard. I can't help but feel that our John is getting closer and closer to blowing a fuse taco, and turning into an Atari nightmare. ... And I stumbled on this !? ? No words needed.

https://retroprotection.com/Atari-2600-Cartridge-protectors_c261.htm I have used these for my 2600 collection for a few years. Gr8 imo.

Yup, plus it's on the rear of cart. Do you have picture of the front?, not that'll make any difference if it doesn't have a label.

5 confirmed down here in OZ, at the time of this post. #edit#. Make that 7.

@ColecoJoe ?

I like to spend my spare time messing with my hardware as well. But only when the wifes away. ......... What? You dirty bastards! ? Pfft!

As opposed to my last post, here are some more serious ideas for your superheroes. ?

I can see it now. ? Hotel completely made of glass, so you can see what's inside. All the rooms lined in chipboard, except for the John Phelan Executive Suite, which is lined in bubble wrap. A stage and 6 seat auditorium, with Fat Elvis as the headliner. Also cater's for Fred's non-announcements. A French restaurant, serving their famous Pigeons à la Crapaudine and really bad Taco's. Really bad!. They also serve their in house homemade Lemonade and original Kool-Aid. On Wednesday's all drinks are half full-price, however you must wear funny green glasses and compete in complicated drinking games. It's own medical facility, in case anyone tries to skydive off the top of the building ...... or they have one of the Taco's. A cheap Chinese Massage Center, which also has a Spa and Footbaths. ? A clothing store that sells nothing but pants and converse shoes. And a gaming store, that contains no games. Did I tell you their Taco's are really bad?

Boss, If you develop a game for the Ashoebox .... and call it "Freddy's F@%#bath" ... you'll be the greatest Moderatorer of all the Interweb's ... and Taco Jesus...... maybe .... probably not. ? [Sorry for the cheekyness. A bit pissy after work. ? I'll take 3 hail tacos, a Kool-aid and banished to a locked room lined in chipboard surrounded by muppets and bubble-wrap! *shivers*]

S-Video modded Vader.

As soon as I finish bathing in my oversized footbath spa, I'll put on the kneeling pads for some serious taco grovelling. ?

Damn it! Too late to grovel?

Hah. I misread that as "clown gaming". Sadly though, it's still just as relevant. .... until the inevitable happens. "... experetly incorporates... "? Not a good sentence to misspell in! I see your f#$%*@th, and raise you ...... .. and here's a BIG ASS TACO eating an Asian guy!!!!. Because. No guessing needed Beefy. ? Oh Shucks. ? Ahh. Beat me to it. ?

If we stop paying attention to Freddy Cheesnais, ignoring his presence on the interwebs, will the same happen to him? ?

?

Hey, that's all good and all ... but I noticed you ramping it up a bit too soon mate. Take it back a gear and lower your defensive shields a little, especially being new here amongst some grumpy old men, me included ?. Many of the backers pigeons (just a jovial description we've been using for ages here, at your expense ??) really don't understand what this thread is all about. But as you can see from the replies since you arrived, it's pretty clear. The noise from this thread is mainly about shit-house Ataco mismanagement, PR, updates, goal post changing, deception, Tacos, Kool-Aid, Shoeboxes, Fat Elvis's etc. You are here among-st the biggest group of true Atari fans on the planet, without argument. So it doesn't take a taco-baked scientist to understand the noise we make about Monsignor Cheesehead and Atari SA's handling of the VCS shit-show. We WISHED it would be awesome, but weren't naive to the fact it was probably not likely based on past Atari company acquisitions and attempted Atari corpse digging. We are dissapointed! We are making a noise to warn others, talk among-st ourselves about the aforementioned dumpster fire elements and throw some memes and tacos around and see if they stick, including against each other, for some humor. Yes, sometimes the tacos are pretty heavy, but I'd like to think we're old enough to HTFU and see the funny side of most things posted. If not, meh. I have no issues with it. As long it's in jest (even heavy jest) and not an obvious huge racial or nationalistic put-down. Hell I'm Polish, so plenty of ammo there to shit sling! As I've said before, the world is too f#cking touchy feely now, so I'm making a personal contribution in an attempt to turn the clock back. ? If it's against me, nothing is sacred. There are way more important things to ponder about in the world then me worrying about someone calling me out about my single eyebrow, budgie mouth or startling Polish intellect.

All's fair in love and tacos! Welcome ? ? Yeh, your right Joe. Hair color's wrong. ? I think he posted a new vid lately. I'll check it out at home and report. His hopes have noticeably turned around the last time I checked in. Mind you, he's standing on the craggy end and could go full taco at any time.

Ataco have instilled 2-odd years of countless doubt into pigeons and on-lookers alike, with all their David Copperfield Kool-Aid Whats-In-The-Box shenanigans. I have no doubt they're willing to go to any length to keep the masses from dumping a huge load of pigeon shit at their front door. I heard he took a trip to Kenya, but his stay was cut short and he was sent packing for some reason. Then run like f#ck if your anywhere near Johnny Phelan or Brandon! Yeh ... but they'll be Kingston AA's. I think I can just make out some springs and cogs in the 2nd from the top left plastic draw, 2 inches in.

... and then there's the aftermath to deal with!

Fire ... Water ... Earth ... Air .................. Cheese? ? Here's a cropped pic for any tin foil hat taco types to peruse. Is this a recent pic Franko? If so, then where's the power lead for the Ashoebox ....... again? If it's old, then ....

@Thomas Jentzsch @Rom Hunter Went to my local lads today and picked up a copy of Boom Bang. Tested, but sadly same result as Jason. Game works with every switch combination, which makes the IMPORTANT message on the label wrong.

... or you could go down this route. ?
