  1. Atari wasn't the only company to turn their old computer into a game system. Commodore & Amstrad tried too. Of the three systems, Atari's seems like the best deal, since it had an optional keyboard. Actually, for a few years now. I've thought Atari Corp should have skipped the 7800 & gone with the XEGS from the get go. The XEGS was capable of similar graphics, had better sound, a large library of games, & Atari owned it outright; they didn't need to pay GCC royalties.
  2. Happy Thanksgiving AtariAge!

  7. I was thinking of a one off, hobbiest sort of thing. Like those recreations of mechanical TVs. I'll admit a spinning disk is much easier to recreate than a 10" vacuum tube. Perhaps the skills just aren't there anymore. Or perhaps the early TV pioneers had other pieces of tech, now long obsolete, they repurposed to make the first CRTs. I wonder if one could use a laser projector to simulate a CRT? Replace the electron beam with a beam of light?
