    As well as displaying a remarkable lack of Photoshop skill for someone who's presumably pretty familiar with the software.

    I guess they're worthy of the Admiral Krag award, maybe.

    There's a story about Sam Levine having been cast to play Nathan Detroit in the Broadway production of Guys And Dolls. Seems that some nice songs had been written for Detroit, which didn't make it into the final show because Levine was - of all things - tone deaf.

    So Detroit has just one song to speak of - the spoken-word "Sue Me."

    Well, Levine chafed at this, and apparently spent a good deal of time practicing and trying to learn a decent rendition of one of the eliminated songs. And when he performed it for the writers and the director they told him as gently as they could that he was nowhere near the actual tune.

    Whereupon, he angrily accused them of colluding beforehand to put him down. The evidence was that they all agreed!

    So, we'll file your expressed concern about conspiracy here with Sam's.

    You'd do better to settle down and learn to accept criticism - and to learn some things about anatomy.

    What you did wasn't "art" it was the doctoring and distorting of female bodies.

    Class A cringe.

    Atari 400/800/5200 Pac-Man. The joysticks say 400/800.

    I'm 100% having "a go at" the gross reduction of female characters to little more than vehicles for exaggerated udders that you have posted.

    Troi's cleavage starts at her collarbone. Gross or otherwise, this is just bad work.

    Am I discouraging some future bad artist, here? Well, if someone can be successfully discouraged they should be. Making art's not about basking in praise and if one is thin-skinned enough about criticism to go after them yelling "conspiracy!" and the like one will be very unhappy at the work.

    Perhaps you should try some introspection, and ask why those puerile photos got such a negative reaction from so many people. Maybe it's not us. Maybe it's you.

    :shrug:

    In any event, I've given everyone a wide berth to express themselves here, but it's time to move on before this gets more personal and warnings have to follow.

    Moving on.

    Nailed it. But the 400/800 joysticks were the same as the 2600 joysticks :devil:. Which is a shame as 3rd party brands (e.g. TAC-2, Gravis) had more ergonomic users that also were built to last...

    The XE console needed its own updated version of Pac-Man based on how near-perfect its conversion/implementation of Mario Bros when compared to the previous Atari system offerings... not that the 1982 400/800 release was bad, it has some charm to it...
