I've been play-testing the latest GoSub 2 file, and it kind of looks like it's being back on track for a real 2600 release. I haven't talked with Albert about it yet (It's only 1/3 of the way done.), but as long as the lines don't reach 263, I think I'll be safe. I won't make any changes to the engine (unless someone...

My top secret project is cancelled.
After optimizing the code to heck, it still gave me a line count of 263, which means, while it may look OK in Stella and Z26, the screen would be hopping all over the place on a real 2600. I tried the Stella debugger and it gave me 263 scanlines in GoSub 1, and that was released! Maybe I'm just not that...

Well, I had a good ol' fashioned Thanksgiving dinner with my family. My sister Stacie, her boyfiend, my niece, Dad, Grandpa and my Mom came. Stacie brought the turkey, and my niece was annoying as usual. I guess that dinner chemical doesn't work on her. Well, anyway, there was stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc. Grandpa even brought a pumpkin...
Nothing from the flea market. They had a few commons at Value Village, but I had all of them except Star Ship, but I didn't buy it because it was $5! They had a Sega Master System there with box, but it was $50, and didn't come with any games. I think my local Game Crazy has some SMS games, but I felt that $50 was too...
Well, I have to drag my mom to the flea market tomorrow. I probably won't find any Atari-related items, but if I do, even if it's remotely connected to Atari, I will buy it. Like the glass part of a Dig Dug arcade machine. I bought it because it had the Atari logo on it. If there is a 5200 or 7800 or something else I don't have, I will...
I'm thinking of ordering Rygar and STUN Runner for my Lynx on Monday. I think STUN Runner looks good (can't play it on emulator, AtariAge doesn't have a ROM for this game for some reason), while I bought Rygar for the NES last weekend and thought I'd give the Lynx version a try. My goal is to get every Lynx games with a rarity 4...
What arrived in my mailbox today? Gordo 106 and Viking Child. This raises my total of Lynx games to 30. I think I'll hold back on the ordering of stuff through the mail until the holidays are over. I bet my mail carrier is wondering what are in the packages that keep coming to me, and why do they mention Atari? Anyway, I hope to have many more...
This is just a reminder: There is a Nintendo 64 HSC and it's going on now. If you don't have Robotron 64, play it on an emulator. If you like the Nintendo 64, then this is the high score club for you. Don't let PressureCooker2600 be the only one to post in there,...
Q: What's more amazing than the Blazers beating Dallas?
A: The Blazers beating Detroit!
Yes, they did it. Now is the time to worry though for Blazers fans. After winning 4 at home, they have another road trip, which could be just as disastrous as the first one. (they went 0-3 to begin the season on the road.) And, they have to play Denver...

They warned us of the upcoming wind storm that was going to come today. And it came today. Our top gust was 48 mph, but near the coast, it was more like 70 mph. A branch fell on our house and the wind blew it off the house down to the ground. Needless to say, it was very noisy this morning. Went to Game Crazy and bought Ms. Pac-Man and Casino...
