Time for some more Atari Halloween goodness, this time playing on the Atari 2600 a couple of games that won't be showing up on a compilation anytime soon: Venture (Exidy; Port by Coleco) Mines of Minos (CommaVid) - Most of the video is about this game, playing from start to finish. Which of these games are your favorite?

Originally filmed back in November 2023, made to celebrate 30 years for both the Atari Jaguar and iD Software's DOOM, both of which launched in November 1993. The Jaguar version was developed by iD & John Carmack but released in April 1994. Either way, lets play DOOM on the Atari Jaguar until I die.

Nov. 23, 1993 - The Atari Jaguar was launched in New York City & San Francisco. This was accompanied by a strong marketing campaign in game magazines - but ultimately, consumers shrugged and waited for other consoles instead. Why did it Atari's effort fail? How should they have approached it? Could better marketing have done anything to result in a better outcome for this infamous 90s failure? I get into the pre-launch as well as launch phases and proffer up suggestions for a better launch line-up that perhaps could have saved the Jag enough to reach better hardware in the Jaguar 2.

This has generated some controversy due to a big discrepancy in the announced specs (I discuss that at 19:30) but all that aside, what's the work like to pull out a CRT tube from an old Neo Geo MVS and replace it with the Unico LCD? #arcade #technology #videogames Help Arcade Heroes out by purchasing a product with one of our designs on it: https://www.teepublic.com/user/arcadeheroes Interact with the Arcade Heroes community on Guilded: https://www.guilded.gg/i/E0L6LGME Or interact on Discord: https://discord.gg/gtzzEbe

32-bit this, 64-bit that...does it *really* matter? Not like marketing gurus in the 80s and 90s claimed it did. When it comes to that discussion, no other platform gets bashed about bits than the Atari Jaguar. To ignore the bit discussion and just show what the system could do - that's the real purpose here. Most games were captured using my AverMedia Live Gamer Plus 2 Portable with my Jaguar connecting to HDMI through a composite-to-HDMI convertor. In a few instances, such as Jag CD games, I had to use an emulator as unfortunately my CD drive isn't very co-operative these days. I also may do a follow-up video this as I have missed things like the Virtual Light Machine (VLM) and interesting FMV games like Vid Grid. Perhaps if I can fix my JagCD (I tried Vid Grid on my JagGD as well as BigPEmu and no luck). Credit and links to a few videos I used below to show examples.

Who is Atari's mascot character? Join me for a deep dive into a question that pops up once in a while in Atari circles but it was also a question on the minds of Atari management back in the 90s. They tried to come up with a new character - when they had a bunch of characters to choose from already. Who were those characters? Would any be worthy of carrying the brand on their shoulders, like Mario carries Nintendo or Sonic carries Sega? Join me to find out!

https://arcadeheroes.com - Sometimes you win, often you lose when it comes to business risks. Where I've been operating an arcade business since 2008, there were some factors that caused me to expand and open a second location in 2020. That operated for two years before I decided to throw in the towel. Here I lay out why I started and ultimately why I closed it. #business #arcade #gaming Help Arcade Heroes out by purchasing a product with one of our designs on it: https://www.teepublic.com/user/arcadeheroes Interact with the Arcade Heroes community on Guilded: https://www.guilded.gg/i/E0L6LGME Or interact on Discord: https://discord.gg/gtzzEbe
