Thanks Chuck... that does indeed bring back lots of memories. I had completely forgotten that jingle!
Subject: Atari
There is a huge Atari site I used to visit (I think it's called Greg's). It features,I believe,every Atari 2600 game ever made,most available for download. It takes an Atari emulator to play the games. I downloaded the emulator and several games,but I can't get it to work! Does anyone know how these emulator programs work?

Ahhh. Unfortunately I couldn't watch the video, due to the fact I use a Sega Dreamcast to surf the net and it doesn't have a hard drive yet. As you can figure since I'm using a Dreamcast, I'm a big video game fan. My first system was an Odyssee, and then an Atari 2600 when I was 7 or 8 around 1979 or so. I sold my Atari long ago, but recently found 3 Atari 2600's and an Atari 7800 at a garage sale for 5 bucks each, and 120 games for 10 cents each! I walked out of the sale with 4 Atari's and 120 games for 32 bucks! I love the new systems like PlayStation, Dreamcast etc., but it's still great to plug in that Atari once in a while and play some Phoenix, Yar's Revenge, Missile Command etc. By the way, I just read in a gaming magazine that another gaming company, can't remember the name, has bought the failing Atari name, and no games will longer be made under the Atari moniker. If you're thinking Atari hasn't made games in years, you're wrong! They have been making arcade games all along, and have released "best of" compilations of classic Atari games on PlayStation. Something like 30 classic Atari games on one PlayStation disc.
