Will there be chances later on to purchase copies as well (for those of us who can't attend the shows).

 

If so I may wait......

[Gameline modem new Atari games!]

Edit from my original comment two years ago: 😂🤣

 

The Gameline game pages for the binder were actually released in five waves.

 

Wave 1: The first 35 game pages came with the binder when you received it.

 

Wave 2: Around thirty days later you received 20 additional game pages in the mail with a updated game directory for your binder.

 

Wave 3: In the first issue of Gameliner magazine you received 6 new game pages (with a updated game directory).

 

Wave 4: In the second issue of Gameliner magazine you received 6 more new game pages (with a updated game directory).

 

Wave 5: They sent you the final 9 pages in the mail with the final game directory that lists all 76 games

This forum is cornfusing. Got an update in my gmail and responded to another thread.

 

Yes TONS of progress. 

Still following this project.

 

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that someday I'll be able to play this on a cartridge 😎

Oh! 😍 My family had that SONY Trinitron TV set with individual VHF/UHF analog tunners for each channel button and a very simple "ultrasonic" remote control device. It could also detect the light in the room to autoadjust the screen bright. 

Yes you are absolutely correct (love the ultrasonic remote)..... I have a few old CRT's, but this one is absolutely my favorite to game on. The picture and color quality is amazing.

 

I don't get to use this setup often because this is actually stored at my parents house in their basement.

 

I decided to bring my copy of Raptor over because we were visiting and I had some down time. It was fun firing up the old TV again.

Another beautiful masterpiece. I still can't wrap my mind around the fact this is a 4K game.

 

I love the double tap feature for dropping the bombs♥️

 

I haven't made it to 1000 points yet, but I will soon. I got really close tonight.

[Alien Greed 6 release]

I personally think....... The best years of Alien Greed we're when Scott and Chris worked together. I bet it was met with disagreements and other challenges, but the end result were two awesome games.

 

I would love to see another collaboration.

[[COMPLETE] Night Watch at Wilford's (Five Nights at Freddy's Demake)]

Thank you so much for letting me put it on a cartridge. I know for copyright reasons you changed the animatronic characters in the game. But when I was putting together a label for the cartridge I just loved this image. The image was the night watchman shining his flashing light on the animatronics and felt it was very fitting for the game title.

 

Anyways...... Here are some of my notes.

 

1. I think when the doors are closed it should drain a little bit more of your power (so you're forced to keep the doors open at times). As the game sits now, you can keep the doors completely closed for the first 6 nights without running out of power. So you really don't have to play the game until night 7.

 

2. I'm still not able to beat night 7 yet😂.

 

3. I don't have the ability to play any BIN files on a emulator, except for my crappy cell phone app (which is why I wanted permission to put it on a cartridge). 

 

On my phone emulator there is quite a lot of "flashing/flickering" in the game. I think this is a similar problem that Pac-Man had when emulated. However, the game looks great on a CRT (no flickering at all). It's definitely a better playing experience on a CRT than it is playing on an emulator 👍

[Made in Sunnyvale 4 Switcher?]

Here's my Sunnyvale 4-Switch Woody with yellow characters, a metallic serial sticker showing SN#866422, a hot stamp of "191", and a red service label.

 

The board shows Revision 8 and Atari logo with "Innovative Leisure" (the logo and slogan were used only in the early revisions and then disappeared). Not sure about Revision 9 thru 11, but I believe by Revision 12 and up they were made in Taiwan based on looking at several other 4 switch consoles in my collection.

 

Here's another Sunnyvale 4-Switch (not mine) with Revision 5 board and datestamp showing 6th week of 1980 on a sticker placed on the RF Modulator: https://www.ebay.com/itm/ATARI-VCS-CX-2600A-1980-Sunnyvale-CA-4-Switch-Console-System-ONLY-Low-Serial/311785574462?hash=item4897de503e:g:rLIAAOSwo4pYhNT2

The heat stamps appears to say "191". Heat stamps are read "WWY" so that means it was made the 19th week of 1981

[[COMPLETE] Night Watch at Wilford's (Five Nights at Freddy's Demake)]

Is this the final version, or do you think there will be a few more updates in the future?

 

Looks great....... I was wondering if I could get it put on a actual cartridge at AtariAge so I can play it on my original setup?

I have no clue as I did drew it but left it out as the rom only had 8 games out 9 games 

Love the picture. It reminds me of something I would see on a '70s Children Educational TV program

I assume that is a true vintage gameroom, but if not, can I get a hookup on your carpet vendor? I have that exact shag carpet but it is probably past time to replace it…

It's just the corner of my garage. I put it together for about $300 a few years ago. Unfortunately I don't have a carpet vender.

 

The carpet is original 1981 carpet. A buddy of mine had it in his home and was getting new carpet. I asked him to save me some of the old carpet so I can use it for my gaming corner.

Love the decor and photography!  
 

...on the subject of vibration, the bulb *should* last quite a while*. Remember... pinball machines, shuffle alley bowling games, arcade games, automobiles, trucks, and ATV/UTV's all used 'em - to name just a few.
 

*easy enough to replace with a modern LED drop-in equivalent if not though.  ?

You know....I never thought of that. You are right, pinball lights did handle well?

[The Milton Bradley Cosmic Commander]

So I recently picked up a brand new Cosmic Commander controller. I can certainly appreciate the gimmick Milton Bradley was trying.

 

In my opinion:

 

Pros...... The controller lights up and vibrates everytime you press the fire button. I find that these two features adds a little more dynamics to the game and does offer a little bit more of an enjoyable experience when playing.

 

Rumble features are pretty much standard in modern controllers and I believe the Cosmic Commander (and Flight Commander) were the first controllers to have this feature.

 

Cons.......

 

1. The controllers only works well with first person flight or racing games. Star Wars the Arcade Game (2600) would be another good game to try it on.

 

2. Due to its size and bulkiness, it only works good as a tabletop controller.

 

3. 4 D batteries....... I wonder how long they will last

 

4. Putting a rumble feature on a controller with a very small incandescent light bulb from the 80s? how long do you think that light bulb will last with all that shaking.

 

I imagine these controllers would break relatively quick if it was given to a 10 year old child as a gift. 

 

My son really enjoyed playing Survival Run. It took him a little while to figure out how to navigate the maze, but he seemed to have more fun using the Cosmic Commander controller than the standard it's Atari controller.

 

Here is a photo of my son trying it out last weekend

You have a great collection. I see a few titles I wish I had.

 

Why did they leave Basic Math out of the 30th anniversary collection?

I love these cart shells....... Is there a chance of seeing Atari 2600 shells in the future?

Cool I like the helicopter and the "glowing" font. The background image is quite cool, but very intrusive and I can't figure out what it represents  ? is it blood or fire (or both?)

 

the typical vhzc design, I like it. My daughter is a great fan of your Ninjish Guy:

 

 

I currently have no idea how to implement one of the designs as a title screen (especially with the restrictions of the title screen kernel)

 

 

The original background image was that of an ice cave, but it wasn't very "apocalyptic"

 

So I just used the ice cave image as a base for the background design and decided to alter the effects to give it a more apocalyptic feel.

 

I guess it could be blood, or fire (kind of left it up to the imagination). The background was really meant just to abstractly represent the Apocalypse.?

[Artist needed for new homebrew game]

Best I can do......good luck buddy

[A silly little project]

This looks like a great start to something phenomenal. Don't let the wall you hit discourage you. Their are some great developers here on AtariAge that may be able to help you out.

 

Regardless, what a interesting concept??
