I have started a Classic Game Preservation Project on my website. Currently i am working on getting as many Atari 2600 games on the site. It's not finished yet but take a look at what I have done so far. The link to the site is below with a list of games. Almost all the games in the list are playable.

Thanks, If you notice any games missing or something that would make it better let me know.

[tkarner]

Very nice. Question though: Who is your target audience? I ask because if you're trying to reach recreational gamers or a non-Atari crowd they will be overwhelmed by a list of thousands of games. They won't know what to try first and will get discouraged if their first exposure to the 2600 is some stinker of a game. I suggest creating a shorter list of games, up to 50 max, containing the household names of gaming: Space Invaders, Asteroids, Pitfall, etc. Then you can have a second link ("For more titles click here") to the full list for the hardcore gamers like us.

I see your point. In a way i have already started something like that. It's not finished but take a look. http://www.outburstn.../atari2600.html

Maybe I should try at home.

[Pioneer4x4]

I just see all kinds of legal issues...
Plus I was turned off by the langauge as soon as I went to the page. To me the Atari was always very family oriented.

Yeah, but why not you put a warning on these "X rated" games, stating their "inappropriate" content. Sure, it's blocky, but parents can get upset over anything.

Besides that, fantastic job.

[Rom Hunter]

But old hat.

Our database offers the same feature.

I have to say, it's very disappointing to see you are using box and cartridge scans from AtariAge without permission or acknowledgment.

OK, I guess I need to explain. I am one of those stuffy old men that was actually alive and a kid when the 2600 came out. When I go to a site for video games from the 70's the first think I don't expect to see is"
"Hell Yea Bitches! Fuck No! Some Good, Some Shitty."
Do I like violent games and movies, Hell Yea Bitches!
Do I only play Pac-Man, and never looked at Custer's Revenge, Fuck No!
What do I think about the games available on the 2600, Some Good, Some Shitty.

I agree that there are violent games, mature games, odd games for the 2600. But I aom only guessing, but I highly doubt they were .1% of total game sales. Not over %50 like the XBOX 360 which I own, and play a lot. I was actually offering my honest advice of which neither of which was quoted, thanks...
You posted to basically advertise your website, I thank you for creating it and showing it to me/us. I went and looked at it. I offered my opinion, and advice. I have been told I can be opinionated, but this time I know it is purly my opinion, you don't need to even acknowledge I have one, but I ass-u-me-d that you were looking for opinions on your web site, I was obviously wrong.
Since your only reply is based on my signature, not what I typed specific to looking at your site, I offer 2 questions:
1)If my signature was "I like ducks and unicorns" would you take my comments differenty?
2)If my comments were more violent and threatening (Since my signature CLEARLY depicts my desires...) would that change your perceptions the comments?

Anyway, there is a reason that AtariAge does not have certain files available, and I STRONGLY support that decision. In fact, thank you for makeing me think more about that. You made me realize that I do value AtariAge's site/standards/layout. I just subscribed for that specific reason, to support what I like and approve of. Thank you AtariAge!


P.S. That quote is from one of my favorite books and movies, not a personal way of life. I just thought I might need to clarify that since might not be obvious to all. Hence the avatar also.

[BigO]

A typo in the game list made me think:


"New in the RealLife Series: Mood Patrol"

Yes, I would have taken your comments differently. You say they are just words, so why are you so offended by mine?

[atari181]

I am a Atari 2600 kid and very much appreciate this site very nice, Even though I can have a very foul mouth(lots of F-bombs) I do not think you need to have this on your site. It is obvious that you are excited about the site and the games, but convey it in another way. You may exclude some people from using you site just because of the language. Otherwise Very Nice!

Thank you for an authentic opinion about the post. I will remove the words tonight.

That is just sad... Many, if not most forum members have signatures that bear little to no direct meaning to each individual message they type.
I am not offended by yours, just totally amazed.
Since 1 other person mentioned the langauge, you said you would change it. OK, great I guess, again, I would be more concerned with what companies might go after me than who is offended. Anyway, what I typed from the beginning was purely my opinion, ignore it if you want.
