Never seen that intro before, its epic!
Enter Myrddin? I was saying who the **** was that for about 3 mins!
Personally, I prefer Bob's old intro
There's a Luas art competition on at the moment and there are signs up along the green line.
In the middle of the poster it says Enter Now!
Every time I see it I do a double take

Amazing! Never heard of that.
A right shame about the proprietary chips in the controllers being dead.
Absolute lunatics with their 1000ft range though. You could set the TV up in your neighbours a few doors across and play it through a telescope 0 -

Indeed, I'd never heard of it either. Realy really cool piece of kit considering it predates the 5200! Shame re the controllers etc, I wonder would it be sacrilege to get the controller chips decapped & see if they could be reproduced?
Another odd system:

That guy really has some amazing stuff.
Makes you wonder what was kicking about in the Atari plant in Ireland...maybe we need to arrange a midnight raid sometime :pac:
Edit - check this out, photo of the Irish Atari arcade machine production line
Don't want to derail this thread, but here's a really interesting link about the Atari factory in Ireland (and how it was only producing 20 cabinets a day, when it was meant to be doing about 100)
http://riordanco.com/jimsblog/?page_id=594
Project Scope:
Atari had a contracted interest in a 30,000 square foot facility in Tipperary, Ireland that had been a kitchen cabinet factory and was (unsuccessfully) trying to change over to the production of video game cabinets. The factory, Murray Kitchens,a former kitchen cabinet factory, had contracted with Atari to produce two sizes of upright video game cabinets and a third hexagonal “cocktail table” game cabinet, at the original requested rate of 80 total cabinets per day and building up to 125 per day. Instead they were able to produce only 20 cabinets per day of one style of upright cabinet. The Riordan Company was brought in to bring production up to speed as quickly as possible. Atari’s mandate to Riordanco was to produce 125 per day of the three styles or close the factory. The exact words from Atari’s vice president were, “Jim, make it work or turn it into a Badminton court.” When we arrived at the plant, fresh off the plane , I was greeted by a room full of English engineers who, before even introducing themselves, asked sarcastically, “What makes you think you can do this any better than we are?” I said , “because I am making 500 a day in the states and my boss told me to either make this place perform or turn it into a badminton court, so I expect you gentlemen to either work with me or go buy some badminton racquets and I’ll be on the next plane back.” They had an immediate change of attitude and you can read their comments below.
Results:
Within eight weeks’ time, the Riordan Company led team converted the factory to a new method of operation, with new assembly areas and techniques. We trained all personnel in the new techniques, and, after training, selected new group leaders. The changes resulting in the production of 151 cabinets per day, of three different styles. The additional 26 cabinets per day was well over the target of 125 that Riordanco was sent to achieve and resulted in additional earnings to Atari of over $1,000,000.00 per month.
What our Clients said:
“I would like to commend Mr. James Riordan and the staff of Overnight Engineering (the Riordan Company) for outstanding work on a project recently completed for Atari Inc. The project consisted of solving problems associated with the fabrication and quality of Atari cabinets at our factory in Tipperary, Ireland. During a reasonably short period Mr. Riordan and his staff accomplished an inordinate amount of work and met all project goals within the allocated timeframe. I would be happy to recommend to others the services of Mr. Riordan and Overnight Engineering.”

I love that bit at the end;
'Things definitely have come along way...since Pacman'
Funny how you can remember that at the time. I remember playing my Aunts Atari 2600 and thinking 'wtf is this archaic ****???' and then going back to Sonic.
Oh to send a 360 back in time with GTA V 0 -
