I was contemplating writing a new version of Regal Beagle if there is any interest. RB is a front end, graphical interface for Dan Borris' 5200 and 7800 emulator.

Should i skip it or would anyone be interested?

Three's company.

The Reagle Beagle was the "bar" that they went to in the show.

Talk about retro.

Yeah, I'm quite familiar with Three's Company.

But what does the Regal Beagle have to do with Atari or an emulator front end?

Thats the same question I had

I just realized that Rickard Kline is the last surviving male cast member. I wonder if he enjoys the 5200.

President of the Threes company fan club, eh?

I was answering your "what the heck" question assuming you wanted to know why a couple of us were reciting that stupid song since it followed those posts, Not what the RB had to do with Atari. Now that you've clarified your question, and we don't have to read your mind, Vommitgreen may be able to answer you.

Back in the days of Win95 and Win98 Dan Boris had what was considered THE best emulator of the 5200 out there. The only thing was that it was a DOS program. He's basically wanting to know if there's any interest in writing a new version of RB for Virtual5200 and maybe one for V7800 (despite V7800's code was merged into the MESS project).

If anyone can remember this one..... the three of them were playing Space Invaders on the atari 2600 in one episode. Though you can see the game on the screen and the shots were hacked by Atari, you know they were playing Space Invaders. Talk about a good memory.

Scroll down the the Three's Company section.

I guess John Ritter didnt play Atari in real life ever or he would know how to hold the joystick

[vomitgreen]

Oh hey! been a long time since i read these forums!
Threes Company was a show back in the 70's I used to enjoy. Since I had found memories of both the show and playing Atari, I came up with Regal Beagle. Yes, it was the bar.

Would a Regal Beagle game be a twist on Tapper?
