I’m a big fan of old school arcade games. Working from home has provided me time to play with the forge. I was going for something that was unique. Very happy with how it turned out.

Dd anyone else have a starpath? (aka arcadia)
Those games were easily my favorites.
Wow, nope but I would have been all in!
Hmm looks like Stella supports these games.
Also looks like you can get a USB 2600 style joystick.
How far down this rabbit hole do I want to go here… hmm.
I still have a VCR for the sole purpose of hooking up my Atari 2600. Have an original 6 button woodie with a ton of games.

Wow ok so I got stella up and running and got an old starpath game running on it. That was shockingly easy.
Then for kicks, I grabbed adventure and gave it a whirl.

Me too. Although I had to play my fav:
The cartridge actually had a custom chip that allowed for better visuals and 4 channel music. All I have to do is see a pic of this and the music instantly plays in my head.

Alternative soundtrack suggestion:
That might make the browser version more enjoyable.

My favorite was H.E.R.O
Love it, I still have all my original Atari computer stuff in storage.
I loved my 800XL. Had just about every accessory you could get for it.

I’ve collected some original 800’s and had a 130XE I used all the time before getting into the ST versions.
Wish I had my atari! What fun!
That looks great! Atari came in my adulthood. Did play a few games of Space Invaders when visiting someone with the game.
