#atari2600

7 posts7 participants1 post today

Received my copy of #Penult in #cartridge form today. It's a #demake of #ultima for the #Atari2600, an #OpenWorld #RPG, I'm amazed that a game like this can run on my original 1977 #VideoGame machine. It was cutting edge to run Ultima on an #apple2 when it first came out in 1981. It even comes with an official cloth map. Super cool, thanks to #AtariAge and the developer. Maybe I should get it running in VR :-) Does anyone know where I can get an #Atarivox so I can save my game.

👾 ¡Ya está aquí uno de los juegos más polémicos de la historia!
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial para Atari 2600, protagonista de leyendas urbanas, memes y documentales, y símbolo del primer gran crash de la industria.
¿Fue tan malo como lo pintan o simplemente llegó en el peor momento posible?
Ahora forma parte de mi colección retro y no puedo evitar sonreír cada vez que lo veo.
¿Tú llegaste a jugarlo?

Yesterday I joyned the #AvantgardeGamingDay in Frankfurt.
I had my #Atari7800+ hooked up and presented some new games like #ARTI
On a very quick test run we could see the a flaschcard for #Atari2600/7800 based on a #Pico10400 could start #Ballblazer on the 7800+
You have to select the game on a real 7800 and then plug the cartridge into a 2600+/7800+ as the menu is not accessible on the new machines.
This works due to a rechargeable battery on it. Not very much convenient but it should not replace my hundreds of cartridges anyway. I just want to play(!) sometimes a single game which is not available on cart😊
I guess not all roms will work and I will report more about my testing as I love the idea behind it🤙
