This one kinda hit home for me…apparently Atari accused a reporter from the Register of lying about what happened in their interview. Lucky for the reporter, the Register kept the entire audio recording of the interview and proved that it was actually Atari doing the lying! I’ve said this before (about another company) and I’ll […]

Tests were running with […]

Someone has created a 3D printed bracket that allows you to replace the trigger on a Saturn light gun with an arcade microswitch. People have reported that this mod makes the trigger much more accurate with no missed pulls and great tactility. http://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthread.php?33312-Custom-3D-printed-Stunner-mod http://atariage.com/forums/topic/278223-fs-sega-saturn-stunner-arcade-switch-mod-now-in-stock-12-shipped-usa/ Sega Saturn Stunner Switch Mod
