Albert Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 We are pleased to announce two new Atari 2600 homebrew games will make their debut at the upcoming Austin Gaming Expo. The first game, Climber 5, is a port by Dennis Debro of an Atari 8-bit computer game that originally appeared in COMPUTE! magazine back in 1987. The second game, Star Fire, is a loose translation of the Exidy arcade game of the same name, given new life on the Atari 2600 by Manuel Polik. Both games will feature original artwork for their labels and manuals, and promise to be exciting additions to the Atari 2600 library. AtariAge will also be demonstrating several Atari 2600 and 5200 games presently in development. For complete details about the games we will be releasing and previewing at the show, please look here.

Snider-man Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Ugh, I don't speak German, though I *did* take 4 years of French in college. All of these years later, I only remember two phrases: "Ou est la biblioteque?" - "Where is the library?" "Elle est na pas joile." - "She is not pretty." Yeah, *that* will get me far.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 "Ou est la biblioteque?" - "Where is the library?" Perfect! That will help you finding a dictionary. Always keep in your mind: You don't need to know anything except where to look for the answers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitfall Harry Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Four years of studying German, and I only know two phrases. Wieviel für ein Bier? - How much for a beer? Wo sind die Badezimmer bitte? - Where are the bathrooms, please? Still, it's enough to keep me going all night. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybergoth Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Hi there! /me wonders how difficult it would be to learn German. It'll probably be hard for someone speaking English to learn it in Germany, because You don't need to speak German here. Almost everybody here will understand you good enough when speaking English, so you're never really forced to try your German skills. BTW: If you ever come over to Germany, make sure to visit me in Bavaria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inky Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 So far my quest to lear the language isn't TOO bacd. I can count to twenty, and I can ask 'where are my keys'...

Interesting point, although it still would be much easier to learn German in Germany, as you will be exposed to much more than just conversation with individuals. You have television, radio, printed materials, signs, and so forth, all of which would strongly encourage you to learn the language. And should you want to practice your spoken German, it'd be much easier to find someone willing to converse with you. BTW: If you ever come over to Germany, make sure to visit me in Bavaria. That's the plan. ..Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Gotta love babelfish.. sure the translations suck, but what the hey? CPUWIZ: @Manuel: The last screen SHOT looks genuinly n'bischen "shit" Cybergoth: Hehe, I had already suggested Albert a bet, who brings as the first Greetings, Manuel Thomas Jentzsch: Is "shit" if one is nevertheless also met, or? CPUWIZ: EDIT: Is truely I understand 2 languages.. english and Chamorro. I can't really speak Chamorro though as my tongue is too lazy. Interstingly, due to Germans occupying the island in ancient times, a lot of our words are mangled islander pronunciations of German.. for example: 'Batsu' came from 'Waltz' (say em fast VALTZ ... BATSU). Or of course like above you say "Kacke" (cah-key), we say "Taki" (tah-key).. etc. The examples go on By the way Albert, that Starfire box/manual looks fucking SWEET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
