At last, the wonder & excitement of Avatar is coming to the Atari 2600 video game system.
This little spoof was created using Anime Studio Debut 6 for the Mac.

I decided to stay in today, and see what was around the apartment. I have been enjoying a lot of "product" style photography lately (and any of you that do should really check out *Focus's photostream to see a master at work), and thought I would try my hand at it.
This particular Atari 2600 cartridge is from a scavenger hunt I had on my birthday - this was what my team used for the "something from the year Ryan was born" item. I did, however, actually own this game when I was a kid! I had a 45 with it that had a theme song or a soundtrack of some kind that I played on a tiny red record player I had in my closet.
Factoid: Yar's Revenge was the best selling original title of the Atari 2600.

This year's motto was "Play" so for the closing ceremony I wanted the whole audience to play with my Atari 2600 console. Therefore I have built an interface which allows me to simulate a joystick and paddles with my Arduino board. The directions are triggered by tracking the motion of the audience. Since I couldn't test any of this in advance I wrote an AIR application which allowed me to adjust the motion tracking zones and the sensitivity on the fly.
Making the pretty pretty out of old Atari 2600 games. Built in Max/MSP/Jitter using v001 and jit.atari2600.
One of my officemates bought an Atari 2600 and a bunch of games on eBay. I guess this makes us the "fun" office. Bonjour, laziness!
This is the 4th "GlobeTrotter" Atari 2600 cartridge.
Here you can have an idea about where it is now:

* Atari 2600 Light Sixxer 1978
* Atari 2600 Darth Vader 1980

* Accessories
River Raid II was programmed by David Lubar in 1988. It provided similar gameplay but with different landscapes and increased difficulty.

A mystery cartridge. It fits the Atari 2600, but wouldn't work for me. I think it might be in PAL format.
Although outwardly, the driving paddle looks identical to the regular paddle except for the sticker, internally, they are very different animals. The regular paddle has an analog potentiometer with a 270 degree range of motion. The driving paddle has an optical sensor inside, which allows it unlimited motion in either direction. The driving paddle was meant to allow free 360 degree steering, which it did… For exactly one game: Indy 500. Unlike the regular paddles, the driving paddles were not paired.
