Tutankham Arcade: Lars Croft und die Pyramide des Todes

Auch dank einiger leidenschaftlicher Hobby-Entwickler ist die fast 50 Jahre alte Steinzeit-Konsole Atari 2600 einfach nicht totzukriegen: Warum mich das brandneue Tutankham Arcade förmlich aus den Sandalen haut.

With these new additions, I now have 116 #Atari2600 carts.

J'ai craqué pour la Super Pocket Editon Atari pendant les soldes. Et je suis tombé complètement par hasard, sur mon tout premier shoot 'em up ! Je ne me souvenais plus du nom et quand j'ai vu la première image du jeu au démarrage, ça m'est revenu direct ! Bon par contre, je pige plus rien au principe haha ! Mais quel bonheur quand même !

Using two Atari 2600 Keypad controllers as a MIDI controller.

Joust on Atari ST (1986)

So much fun Especially with 2 players!

It was sometimes tempting to let yourself fall on top of your partner

Finally having a bit of a play with my Synthcart for the 2600 (now that I have some keypads).

It is so quirky, but quite a bit of fun :)

Gets a bit of getting used to mind, and I still haven't quite figured out the scales the keypads are playing.

And, so finally, I've done something that at least hints of being musical with my Atari Paddles.

This shows how to use them as a MIDI CC controller.

Finally. I have a way to "properly" read unmodified Atari paddle controllers from an Arduino.

That was a lot more complicated than I expected it to be.

And arguably it still isn't finished as the code needs optimising to read all four paddles in a useful way that doesn't lock out everything else!

It would be a /lot/ simpler to hack the controllers and just wire the pots across 5V and GND...
