I feel the same way, I much prefer forums to Discord for longer-term conversations, and development-type discussions.

Who are Atari exactly?

By that I mean who are the people that own Atari?

Who are the people in charge of running Atari and what positions do they hold?

What is the ownership and management structure of Atari?

Where is the company located?

What is the company strategy about its immediate and long term plans?

If Atari value AA so much as an amazing resource, why are they not using the AA resource for its projects? This is a bit of a kick in the guts to the retro community who has been committed to the Atari brand for so many years? Or is there more to come regarding this?

It was the same individual: Arnauld Chevallier (@Arnauld).

He is one of the veteran programmers from the previous generation of home-brewers, before IntyBASIC.

There is mention of Rick D as far back as November 2006. So that would be 14 years. Hopefully soon!

http://www.intellivision.us/intvgames/rick/rick.php

Was this the same coders / developers when the game was published and physically released in 2020?

or was it a different team?

Who actually did code the Rick Dynamite game?

Here are 19 published physical titles developed by me (usually working under Gemintronic LLC) over the years. Combined my own recollection with info from "The Most Comprehensive Atari 2600 Homebrew List" spreadsheet.

did all of these titles have manuals and any extra's?

what was the page count for the UFO LCD game i can't find that info anywhere?

did the UFO LCD game come with a comic?

many thanks for your help

just looking for some more info about Go Sub.

hard to find out about this game.

Was wondering what were the cart specs?

4k? 16k?

standard plastic cart?

who were developer and distributor?

any extras sent with box such as stickers or anything like that?

any trivia / interesting notes about the game, the port from original, any easter eggs - stuff like that?

much appreciated

I'm very excited for this release, especially if it has the option to PAUSE. I can't make it past level 2 on the ABBUC version because my hands need a rest! I look forward to the new levels and enemies, but I'll need a PAUSE option to ever see most if I can't make it past level 2 because my thumbs and wrists need a break and a stretching.

In my youth and twenties I could stand at the 1941/42 arcade cabinet all day smashing the buttons and stick with my ultra-quick reflexes, fast enough to create my own rapid fire. In my 30's and 40's I could sit on my ass in my mancave for hours with the help of hardware/software rapid fire options to give my thumbs a rest ("It's not the years, it's the milage"-Indiana Jones). In my 50's even rapid fire can't keep me playing for hours and hours, only a pause button and 10 minute breaks every 5 minutes!?

ahhh the joys of our youth

Greetings one and all

i require some assistance with Altirra.

I am trying to load the last squadron game file into Altirra but every time i try to do so the screen reverts back to the atari basic screen.

I have reset Altirra to default settings several times. but the game file will never load.

i have contacted two friends before i have come here who have helped me and the game loads up fine for them but will not load up for me.

i have followed their instructions and settings that they have on their Altirra profile and still i am unable load this game.

i am using windows 10 with Altirra 4.01

i use Altirra 64 executable file as my friends have informed me to do so but still i am unable to get this file to load.

anybody have any ideas how i would be able to solve his problem?

my profile on Altirra is as follows:

600/800xl

ntsc

6502

320k rambo disk

no basic selected

its all pretty much standard / default set up

Maybe leading to the awards results, there could be @Papa Pete videos discussing the categories and some of the nominees? That would be fantastic

I was also wondering if anyone would be interested in offering anything to the winners.

You know, nothing extravagant. Could be something real simple, and only focused on the 2 GOTY winners (physical and digital).

Maybe @Kamikazi26, @Rev, @Games For Your Intellivision, @retroillucid or anyone else would have any ideas?

I would be happy to offer something to the GOTY winners just pm me to discuss

January 4, 2022

shame it did not receive any submissions.

would be good to see this have relaunch -

perhaps with changes mentioned already by others

perhaps you could look at making it multi machine instead of just TI based ??

perhaps you could look at 2 options of the challenge 1) being as you described and the other 2) as a game creation thing

perhaps increase the time for submissions people generally very busy with real life stuff so a longer contest timeframe may be more positive ?

anyway good luck with it hopefully we see it back in the future one day ??
