[California Games BMX ratings]

For the life of me, after multiple internet searches, a complete reading of the manual, I can't seem to get a definitive database of the scoring awards. From Bogus, to As Good As James (I think there is Better Than James), I have yet to see a list of all the possibilities. Help me out!  Before I hit post, I will run through a couple of times...

 

0 points= You Need Diapers

33 pts= Totally Hopeless

50 pts= Most Lost

64= Way Loser

94= Loser

104= Bogus

132= Uncool

161= Cool

156= Foolin

180= Fresh

207= Bitchen

261= Gnarly

285= Radical

302= Way Cool

340= Awesome

371= As Good As James

406= As Good As James

606= As Good As James

 

I know there is a next level...

 

 

 

[Atari Lion]

I think that in the rule of 3s, it is time the homebrew community comes up with a natural progression for the Lynx (small, docile cat), to Jaguar (rarely seen, dangerous, powerful), and come up with the coup-de-grax.. Atari Lion. I am thinking something more powerful than the Jaguar (64bit my ass), but not disk-based. Cartirige-wise, I think Sega 32x or N64 are a good starting point.

 

Imagine the Jag goes CD based, which its polygon bit system was designed to be the ground work for, actually just went full cartridge power.

 

That's what I would want in the Atari Lion. The end all, be all, king-of-the-cartrige-prairie idea. No one ever really did it, cart-wise; everyone jumped on the data and memory crutch of the CD.

 

But as I've collected, I think the Atari stalwarts, some more thoroughly explored than others, are every bit as brand/genre strong as NES or Sega.

 

I know the homebrew community has explored this organically, like with the Bear from Crystal Castles. But imagine and Asteroids, Missile Command, Robotron, Pacman crossover? Metroid style. Or Zelda style?

 

I am of the thinking, but not the capital, that a cartridge based system in 2022 would sell like hot cakes. Given all the unused Atari licenses, let alone codes and games never made out there?

 

The Atari Lion. Wireless controllers that look like arcade controller, but optimized with all current tech; add on a shock value awesome game; think Pitfall Harry, thrusted to the future, he has to destroy the asteroids, then command the missile station, then collect fuel in corridors in a Tron-like vehicle shaped like Pacman, only to have it crash and defeat countless Atari only archetypes? You can do your puzzles on our phone, upload progress, etc...

 

Just spitballing. Anyone else?

[Jaguar emulation]

Hey, I'm looking to create an emulator and collect rom files for Jaguar. Can anyone point me in the right direction. It has been awhile since I started a new console. Thanks for any links, and yes I have the actual copies of the games, so nothing nefarious here.
