I don’t post on ye olde bird site anymore, but I also haven’t been posting here. Fear not… I’ve still been doing my thing.
For example…
I recently bid on a lot on eBay. I didn’t expect to win, but I thought I’d give it a shot just in case. Why’d I bid? It seemed like kind of an odd lot to begin with… there were a number of loose cartridge PCBs, and the seller was in Cupertino. Perhaps a bit intere

I’d bounced off Mastodon shortly after I first joined, but I popped back in today since I actually have some news worth sharing! Thanks to @yuberus for the amazing article and to the Video Game History Foundation for hosting, additional guidance, and, y’know, doing their thing.

The console is a standard six-switch Atari, but it has uncommon chrome switches (instead of the usual brushed aluminum ones). These switches are sometimes found on promotional units, or factory reconditioned units… but this one is neither of those things.
This console was owned *BY* Atari!

It wasn’t labeled, but the part number caught my eye: it seemed to be for Out of Control, by Avalon Hill! The one AH game that I didn’t own, and — based on its rarity and typical pricing — might never have owned. Anyway, in the end nobody else bid, and I won for the opening price. Turns out that four of the five AH-published 2600 games were in this lot!
But wait, there’s more…

One more thing about the Thai GOD cart. I was trying to figure out what “28” in the copyright might mean. Maybe a long shot, but 28 could be short for 2528 B.E., which would be the Thai solar calendar equivalent of 1985 A.D.
Maybe a long s…

But HEROMAN here is a first. Not only does it have a Thai name in place of the Activision logo, it’s actually written out in Thai characters!
ไทยนิยม means “Thai Niyom”. Maybe this is the name of the manufacturer, maybe the distributor, ma…
It’s fairly well known that many unauthorized manufacturers/distributors hacked their own names into 2600 games’ copyrights. One mostly sees this from places like Brazil and Argentina.
Yesterday I spread the word of GOD (the cartridge). What I didn’t mention in that thread is that this cartridge represents a first in the #Atari2600 pirate library, at least as far as I know. What’s so unusual about it? 🧵

Some have the FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY SPIRIT in their life.
I have GOD, the HEROMAN., and the VIDEO GAME COMPUTER.

GOD-brand #Atari2600 cartridges from Thailand were known to exist; I remember another one being all the rage on the AA forums maybe a decade or so ago. But this is a first for m…
I went away for a while.
I was searching.
To fill a hole in… my collection? In my LIFE?
Well, friends… I found something.
I found… GOD.

I bought a new computer! Passing along the old one that I built a decade ago to the wife, who’s been using a potato of an old Dell. I think I made the right call buying prebuilt; my patience and motivation are both on fumes lately. But I d…
