    Well, the game is out, so that's good.  I am looking forward to my physical copy of the game with all the goodies, though!!

    I pledged at the $150 level so I should have some physical goodness making it my way soon I hope. I almost pledged at the $300 level, I thought it would be cool to have a corpse laying around named "moycon" LOL In any case, I'm shocked this is actually happening and glad it's getting decent reviews (from what I've seen) I didn't play any of the demo's or beta stuff, been too busy the past couple years, but things have finally settled down for a bit (I think) so this is coming out at the perfect time for me.

    Looking forward to playing, it's been a long time since I paid for this!

    I've backed dozens of projects on Kickstarter over the past few years. This was the only outstanding one I had. 

    Some came a year or two late, but this one was more like 5 or 6 years late! I had honestly given up on it a couple years ago.

    If this does come, I'll have 100% success rate on Kickstarter.

    "Swordquest Airworld" on the 50th Anniversary? Finished?

    in Atari 2600

    Posted

    Curious if anyone has "beaten" this game? I remember having fond memories of the Swordquest series as a kid. I found the concept fascinating and when my friend got the first game we stayed up until 1am (probably the latest I had intentionally stay up to that point) playing the game and finding clues.  The second game always seemed so less polished, but I can remember playing that one often as well. I knew the contest never finished and the last game was never made, I know over the years a few people said they were going to make a proper closing game, or hoaxed finding the lost game, but I was really excited to see it had finally happened! That said, I haven't played the new Airworld. I've pretty much been uprooted and life has been spastic the past few years. Hoping to get settled back down later this year and get a proper gaming room set back up and try it out. Anyways, I'd be curious to see what others think of the game now that it's been out for a bit.

    Best Atari 5200 Launch-Year Title

    in Atari 5200

    Posted

    I didn't have a 5200 at launch but my good friend did and we'd play it every time I went over there.

    Of all the games he had, we'd play Countermeasure the most. I really love that game to this day. I call that one the best.

     

    On a side note a game that LOOKED awesome but we never figured out how to play was Astro Chase.

    Also he gave me his 5200 and all the games he had when we got to be high school age, I guess he outgrew videogames!? Still have it all to this day.

    Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration

    in Atari General

    Posted

    Anyone spend any time with Airworld? Seeing that reminded me of that time many many years ago when someone here on Atari Age said they had the game. It turned out to be a hoax, but I remember many of us were really excited at the thought of the series being completed. I never "beat" the games that I know of, but I have fond memories play them even though they kind of sucked. LOL

    Cool. I loved this game as a kid but only played it on the 2600 but then.

    I remember that you could "fry" that version of the game, and it would give you like 256 lives, so you could easily get through all the levels.

    I love the upgraded graphics of the 5200 version.

    Although it isn't perfect, R really sounds like a slowed down version of A-Hunting we will Go / The Farmer in the Dell.  I did find a couple examples where a line was repeated twice at the end (Lisa Loeb version), but not three yet.

    I was thinking some of it really sounds like Farmer in the Dell too, but it just seems too slow and with too many extra notes,

    Broken Vectrex

    in Vectrex

    Posted

    Unfortunately, the last time I went to turn on my Vectrex it wouldn't boot up and nothing I tried would remedy the situation.

    I could tell it was powering on but only a small dot would appear, and no sound,

    Too many moves over the years I guess. Sucks because I really enjoyed it. Is there any type of troubleshooting guide or does anyone in the community repair broken Vectrex systems?

    XBox X won't play online multiplayer?

    Thank you!  I really don't have any interest in playing more than the handful of games I already have.  I really only got the system for the new MS Flight Simulator and $10/mo is way too much just to play multiplayer.  I guess I'll just stick to single player!

    You used to be able to find annual passes around $50 now and again.

    I haven't checked in awhile if they still come available though.
