ATARI GAMESTATION PRO

NOPE! Meant to be Chrimbo shopping with Bev the next 2 days, mate... you never know, we might get finished early and I can nip home and get me new toy out!!

 

Nah, it's a console, he don't play with them

Come on Andy, what's it like...

 

I dunno, mate... it's still waiting to be opened

 

I've asked Biden to give you a full Pardon for breaking the rules of being a full on retro nerd, but you only get one..What next, ignoring Oric's?

Get thy box open...

 

YES, AL!

At long bloody last!!!!

Here's the evidence - it doesn't make pretty viewing

 

He's not wrong

 

Comments on the You Tube video - please, fellas!

 

Good to see you finally setting up the Gamestation Pro Andy Looks like you have an SD card in it as well, have you tried playing games from that?

I will say that I found it hard to hear what you were saying because of the music and volume levels so maybe that needs tweaking a bit mate

 

Hi buddy.
I have had a look and only peered into the 1st directory on the mem card for the 7800 and was assaulted by approx 100 entries which looked liked demos. Anyway, tried 1-2 but nowt to write home about yet but clearly I've barely scratched the surface so will report back when I get a mo.
Soz about the sound - I realised during the editing that the b'ground music needed turning down - which I did, reducing it to 12%, and the foreground blabber from me needed boosting - which I did to 150% - and yet it still didn't quite pass muster but there you go. I'll know for next time that my big gob aint clear enough for vidz so need further amplification!
(Probably the last straw for Bev!)
Have a great New Year's Day, fellas - Sunderland bound for us!

 

Hi guys, a couple more blasts on the ol Gamestation tonight... couldn't leave that 7800 GALAGA alone, Al...



Had a peek at GORF too...



Some demo graphic images too:





Then I discovered a MD folder... what might be in there, master / main directory?

No, Sega Megadrive stuff!

So I had a wee play, as you do...







Very enjoyable, fellas - got stuffed as England playing Germany so... it's very realistic



Oh wow, plenty on here, guys...



The ol classic DUKE NUKEM 3D too.

More, no doubt at all, to follow, lads.

Thanks again for recommending a retro console system I can really get my teeth into, Al.

 

Good to see you enjoying the GSP Andy. 95% of my time on it is spent playing 7800 games but I'll need to delve deeper into some of the old Megadrive classics after looking at your screenshots mate.

The portable version of the system is finally due for launch later this year and looks like it has some nice new enchanements and games added



Amongst other things they also have a little pinball simulator coming out that looks pretty cool

 

As you know, I'm a real pinball fanatic so that looks like it could well be on my wants list and the portable version of the Gamestation will definitely fulfil a need for some. Look at the timestamp of your post, buddy - middle of the night - bless ya. Couldn't sleep or work calling?? WFH for me today...best gan and tickle the ivories. Cheers, mate.
