I want to live in the world where Atari won the computer war, and every tower is still a massive molded plastic chassis with vents that you can only mod with cartridge cards the manufacturer designed for it.

...Wait no I don't, that would be a nightmare.

Cool aesthetic, though.

The big announcement of the day is

that a couple days ago someone was searching through a VMS/VAX tape backup from 1983 of a computer that had been in Atari's coin-op division, when they found...

...a previously unknown Atari 2600 game named 'Fish'.

No one knows for sure who the programmer was, or whether this was something official or just a fun project someone was working on (since this was not found in the home console division).

But I'm here to tell you it is freaking amazing. I've thrown the ROM at every emulator I have (Stella 7 on the PC, StellaDS on the Nintendo DS, Dingux Stella on the Dingoo A-320 handheld, and of course the Atari Flashback Portable) and it plays in all of them.

Okay, so this is my try to make aesthetic frutiger aero aquarium monitor. It's not best creation, but I did my best. There's so much to learn.

I was looking at a bunch of Activision Atari 2600 boxes the other day, and it struck me that despite them all having prominent stripes, none of those stripes had become the colors of a pride flag yet.

So I fixed that.

I bring you:

Trans Barnstorming

Asexual River Raid

I love the intricate 1984 box art for Atari's Dimension X game - art by Timothy Charles Boxell.

You can watch a movie on your Atari 2600 now. Yes really.

MovieCart is an Atari 2600 cartridge developed by Lodef Mode that allows you to load custom movies to it and play them on your real-life, honest-to-goodness Atari 2600 console.

Even if you don't want to go through the trouble of converting and loading your own movie onto the cart via SD card, the SD card bundled with MovieCart comes with Night of the Living Dead preloaded!

Check out a demo here

They're sold out for now but keep an eye on Lodef's Tindie shop for future sales.
