Awesome stuff. Howard, you're getting angry spittle all over my rose-colored glasses! :cheers: |

There is an incredible library of homebrew out there, too. Head over to AtariAge and buy a few. I used to buy one about every month but fell off a couple of years ago. Heh, my kids sometimes aren't sure which games are homebrew and which are 35 years old, other than the print quality on the label. |

Maybe the best seller list is where I should be looking. But, do you have a list of a few you think are good? I'm kinda curious what people have been producing. |

There's a more accurate version of Pac-Man (although you can just play that in MAME, or on literally any other device that exists.) http://www.atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1010 And also Donkey Kong VCS (not the sneaky, half-assed port by Coleco) http://kotaku.com/after-30-years-donkey-kong-gets-a-proper-port-to-the-a-851576160 |

Sometimes buying an item is about more than just acquisition. |
