Atari-Forum

I have been gone for 4 years. Yeah, long time but here I am again.
I recently purchased "The Timelord's Handbook" for the game 'Time Bandit: The Arcade Adventure' and thought I should poke my head in the forum again since I was playing the Atari games again.

Anyway, howdy again.

Anyone noticed that the quality of posts has gone down seriously over the last few months. Has everybody who was anybody left, got married, been banned, had kids or something? Before you dis the posts other people make here, perhaps you could show us a quality post yourself? Your trolling comments ...

I am glad your cat made it back home. Not all cats have a cat sense. My 'house' cat got out one time. Jumped the 6 foot cedar fence, and did not see him for days. Put up pictures. 3 days later, a neighbor called and said he saw our cat in their boat. Two houses away and he was lost. Could not find h...

Any links on where this game is hiding?

1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed 14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently 7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs 1 to move it to the Lighting section 2 to argue then ...

If only I had that many people reply to any of my posts.

Great post though, a very enjoyable if not ironic read. I wonder where in the list this post falls? Did you have a complainer?

Its a wonder you can see anything with that thing spinning around in front of your face! :o Yeah, I look through the 'slots' in the logo. (Thats my 'Atari Head' logo! I have Atari on the brain.) I am suprised you did not spot it with those 'bottle bottom' magnifying glasses you have on. You look li...

Yeah, my job for the last 10 years has trained me to see the 'details'. It makes life easier at work. They call me 'Eagle Eye'.

Well, Heres a recent picture of me, my mate took it today, Sorry for me...well looking...shall we say slightly weird? :) Very nice Drums!!! Are those your glasses on the floor? I myself wear glasses, but only when I drive. I have a problem seeing far, but close up is fine. Probably all those years ...

I have to agree with simonsunnyboy. The best I could do was 1234. It did unlock the 'star search' though.

90% of my scores fall in the 500-600 range.

Thanks Marcer!

I guess I am pretty lame at it, but in my defense, it is midnight and I am tired, so I will have another go at it tomorrow... or would that be today?

What is STOT and what is Superfly? Abreviations are nice but shouldn't you spell it out at least once? Or is that spelled out?!! I assume its a game, but no link is ever provided for finding the game. I guess you can just call me stupid cause I have no clue what this whole thread is about! I have be...

Hmm, Your right. I guess after my DOE clearance there is not much I have to hide. That and two FBI background checks. A rather boring past... I guess I was alluding to the ones that RetroGamerUK pointed out: to reply to an "introduce yourself" thread with "I am not going to introduce myself" well...

I did not realize that the Atari Community was made up of so many people wanted by law enforcement agencies that they could not say something about themselves or put a a blurry picture of themselves. A very secretive society indeed!

I was sure I had left a comment in this thread. But after going through all the pages (unless in my age blindness, I could not see it) I could not find a post by myself. So then I though, wow, am I that senile that I imagined that I had made a post here, or am I paranoid that somebody deleted it? An...

I gave up the baby toys with the atari 2600, and have had a real computer ever since. I have to agree with RetroGamerUK on this topic! (as strange as that may seem)

Does this mean simply that both biological parents of all the children are still married, and all the family still live together? Or does it also mean that the Man is the "Man of the house" and the Wench does all of the work associated with being a "housewife", and you are king of the hill?? Ehhh t...

I have three. We all live together in a traditional family unit. My oldest, boy, is severely handicapped at 11, second, boy, is 7, third, girl, is 2.

I was out of college when I bought my first one, and I scrimpted and saved to get it too! I was living on my own and only making about 10K a year, so money was tight. But I HAD TO HAVE IT since it was so much better than the Atari 800XL modified I had (built my own memory chip for it with the help o...

I wonder at the ages of people who had the Atari ST when younger. And a question came to my mind, how did you people get introduced to the Atari ST computer, how did you get your first one?

Wikipedia - t-bag and gaming...

Many games delay the re-spawning of a killed player for a few seconds after death, allowing ample time for the victor to use this aggravating technique to frustrate his or her opponent.

Heck, I would have to say everyone on this forum has had a big influence on me this year. You can only be influenced by those you interact with. And since there are not 100 'regular' posters to this forum, I would say everyone here has 'made the list'. :D As for 'Paris Hilton', there are plenty of '...

Sorry guys (and gals) but I have never heard of St. Andrew's day, or St. George's day. I know nothing about either of them, so did not know they existed. And I would guess that we (USA) celebrate St. Patricks day because a large portion of our country is made up of Irish immigrents who celebrated it...

If you have Microsoft Office, there is a little known program that does not install using the default installation. If you have office, you can manually install it. It is called 'Microsoft Photo Editor' and does a nice job of 'autobalance' for all colors. It keeps the blacks black, and whites white....
