Hi folks!

Basic Fun Centipede Mini Arcade (the color LCD one...NOT the TFT mind you) and also the Basic Fun Pac-Man mini Arcade (also color LCD, not the boring greenish/greyish LCD type).

Late Merry Xmas & Happy New Year! - Unisonic Champion 2711 on the Intellivision ?!?

Hi folks!

Last year wasn't my best year as many personal things happened but now it's a new year which just started and hopefully it will be (way) better than last year.

Decle of Atari Age forum has posted this announcement on January 1st, 2018: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/273767-lil-bro-ii-a-better-unisonic-champion-simulator-for-the-intellivision/   Talk about beginning the New Year with a bang! LOL!

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Unisonic Champion 2711 (Hey! Even the world's most obscure game system can have a celebration), decle released for now three game packs of the Champion 2711 which are: Blackjack & Baccarat (the built-in games), Poker Games and Family Fun simulated for the Mattel Intellivision! Yep...that's right...for the Intellivision as both game systems uses the same CPU (CP1600). 

The two missing packs will be coming pretty soon so keep an eye out as decle has done a marvelous job simulating these games on the Intellivision! =)

Until next,

So that makes 67 new emulated electronic games and only 03 added but not working properly,
which make 70 in total. On this news, 2017 has been pretty good regarding emulating electronic
games. The only thing that i find sad is that only two VFD handhelds has been emulated and one of them is a clone game, let's see what 2018 will reserved! 

About the artwork i'm making (overlays, bezels, etc...) that will also resume during this year as some games truly needs the extra artwork to properly play them (and is much appealing too) so come visit this blog once a while.

Until next post!  =)
