Well I got my atari xe recently and had to fix it up a bit but now everything is working so tell me some of the hidden games to try out on the unit! I also have the lightgun idk if it works since I have to get a game to test it there and my only two games currently are missile command and star Raiders!
So I replaced the mylar in my atari xe computer so recommend me some games!
What's a fujinet adapter? I do have rescue on fractalus coming in soon though and I'll check out those other games!
Short summary, it's an SIO device that emulates floppy drives, printers, modems, and other devices, but its biggest advantage is its ability to connect to wifi networks. Out of the box you can connect to "open" Fujinet servers and boot/load games and other software from them. You can also copy these to local storage (an SD card). You can also set up a TNFS server (Fujinet's protocol) by running a program on your Mac or PC and load/save/boot/etc your software that way.
For example, in my case I have a several-hundred-strong collection of floppy disks that contains all of my Atari software going back to the early 1980s. When I got my Fujinet adapter I set up my home server for TNFS functionality, then copied all of my disks to disk images that are stored on my server. Now my Atari data is 100% protected against floppy disk failure, I don't have to rely on fragile floppy drives, and I can even use those backup copies on an Atari emulator on my Mac if I wanted to.
Buy or build a A8PicoCart. This is a Atari multi-cartridge so you can download and play any game you like.
Sweet been wanting to look into the homebrew scene!
This guy sells them. I’ve purchased 2 from him. Good quality
Congrats! I use a Backbit cartridge with my upgraded 600XL. It can run program & cartridge files from an SD card. No disk image support, unfortunately.
The Fujinet, I believe, lets you connect through wifi to an online software repository. It seems to be pretty popular.
A nice thing with the Backbit cart is, I can use the same cartridge on pretty much every 8-bit system by using the appropriate adapter. For example, I use my Backbit on my Tandy CoCo, VIC-20, C64, Plus/4, and 600XL computers
Hooo boy. Okay, hardware first: I recommend a Fujinet adapter which will make your life substantially easier and requires no modification to your computer. Also an Ultimate Atari Video upgrade for better video quality.
Games: Fort Apocalypse, Jumpman, Jumpman Junior, MULE, Miner 2049er, Gyruss, Ultima III:Exodus, Rainbow Walker, Action Biker, Spelunker, Gateway to Apshai, Caverns of Mars, Montezuma’s Revenge, Boulder Dash, Rescue on Fractalus, Koronis Rift, Lode Runner, Karateka, Ballblazer. Those are IMO amongst the cream of the crop.
