that an atari executive in the 80s called the people who designed video games "towel designers," as he'd formerly worked in the textile industry and effectively regarded them as the people that designed the patterns on the towels. before this, it'd been a company full of stoners that invented the -- which sold poorly, if at all -- but then also pong, which did better. then they blew threw the cash and since then, atari has just been this IP zombie that refuses to die, and sometimes buys other old games. the history of atariâ„¢ anyways, i write this because: ulillillia was obsessed with bubsy; how does he feel about this? how's he doing anyways |

ok since none of the news twits are... part of what they got is microprose, which means the atari zombie now owns, like: civ 2, worms armageddon, master of orion, and more. super, just super. enjoying putting out "anniversary editions" of the same game when... hell, i still have legal copies of some of them. and DOSbox |

tho his bubsy autism is related, I believe, to an SNES version rather than some weird atari version |

I see now that there prolly was never an Atari version and this is more of a corporate buy-out thread. Good night. |

oh they also bought berzerk, does that mean no reissue of ab3? |
||||||||
|

how does that have anything to do with ab3? guessing samples. didn't know that offhand ...but when i say "atari is now just an IP zombie that refuses to die, and occasionally buys other other games" you can start to see how this sort of thing has enough ripple to justify slightly more than an eyeroll. the licensing issues with dozens of these spiderweb all over. they could make lots of money off of this, then use it to buy more old games to make more money off of and kingshit fuckers don't do nothing original no more. just investment wanking other peoples' efforts |

i'd like to release an album for the vectrex 3D imager. same way it hacks one of the i/o lines for the rotary encoder on the visor, pirate something to keep it synced to the album there was someone on here ranting about 68k assembly code ages ago |

just saw a couple of vectrex last weekend at . its a free to play arcade with old consoles and computers too. you hardly find anything alike in all of germany. great fun. i was really gutted by the vectrex screen, being more like an oscilloscope. never saw vector graphics before on a screen that it was built for. the picture, its just so perfect, clear and glowing nicely. |

ulillillia is because he's going to go kind of homeless in a week and you should subscribe to his patreon and give him a lot of money if you can please |

it turns out that the audio already synced to the 3D viewer. that the thing keeps the game synced by plugging into the second controller port and doop doop doop it pushes the B button or something and this not only syncs the graphics but the sound. as some guy described it, you can run 3D viewer games without th3 3d v13w3r, just mash the B button fast, and the game plays very slowly, complete with blaps of audio along with the frame advances. so it sounds like it's already primed for an album |
