The quickest Atari order I ever received!

The limited edition Asteroids watch in Cosmic Gray arrived today. #69 of 100. <insert jokes>

Finely packed with Atari and Asteroid theming. A couple of feelies included as well - one with "credit card" that has the Asteroids imagery on one side and the edition number on the back.

The watch seems high quality as well. Made by Nubeo, with Japanese movement. It is about as big as a G-Shock for size comparison.

Going to wear it tomorrow.

This is one of the things I was doing with my Atari STacy at the VCF Midwest 2025 computer show. I was using a secondary VGA port on the replacement LCD screen to feed in and show DVD's on the STacy's screen. Never let a working port go to waste, I say! 🙂

Here are a few videos of my modified Atari STacy from VCF Midwest 2025.

This first one is the game Gauntlet II running on the STacy. Simultaneously, we had it playing on another LCD screen via the STacy's external color monitor port.

Double the screens, double the fun! :)

(unfortunately, because of the way it was filmed, Youtube placed this as a "short")

The second one is the STacy playing Spectrum 512 pictures (by Anima) while music from a MOD based on the game Xenophobe is being played. The music is actually coming from an audio CD.
