Boris Kretzinger<p>John Carmack (Doom, Quake, that virtual reality headset - you know the man) talks about AI, AGI and why training with classical Atari 2600 games is a great way for the ghost in the machine to learn. I did not expect this and thought that AI playing Atari was "done" (i.e.: solved, no need to look into that further) some years ago actually. But as it turns out: There is still more to it. Listen to his talk here, well worth your time if you are fascinated by AI and have a passion for Atari and vintage gaming in general.<br><a href="https://youtu.be/4epAfU1FCuQ" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/4epAfU1FCuQ</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/AiResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AiResearch</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/johncarmack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>johncarmack</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/atari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>atari</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gaming</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/atari2600" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>atari2600</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/atari2600plus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>atari2600plus</span></a></p>

I proudly present:
My little ATARI Arcade with the beloved Atari 2600+, the "The Atari 400 Mini" (Atari 8-Bit computers) and the Atari 7800+, which is new in my collection.
Now I can play ALL Atari 8-Bit games, including homebrew games. Back in the day, I never owned an Atari computer. They were too expensive, but I started the videogame craze with the ATARI VCS 2600 with this exact design

Today I will play a new old game ...
AnnetteThe guy at the #CarBootSale said this was an #Atari2600plus, but I can't work out where the carts go 
Am I being thick?!

A little late night al fresco #Atari!
Sky Diver is such an underrated two player game 
Continued thread
I am absolutely amazed about the fact alone that I can buy a new #Atari #Atari2600plus in the 21st. century and it (mostly) works with the old cartridges, Joysticks, Paddles and even the trackball (probably, I do not own one yet).
Not only the old games are fascinating but there are new releases, too. There is a very active homebrew scene working on new titles making the most of the old hardware.
The VCS is my past and now it is my present again. I started playing video games with it as a kid.
New experimental test firmware (v1.1x-r1) for #Atari2600+ console https://forums.atariage.com/topic/361600-experimental-2600-firmware/ #atari #Atari2600 #Atari2600plus #retrogames #retrogaming
Picked this up from Amazon. Looks interesting, summaries of over 700 #Atari2600 games. Looks like it includes a lot of the games on the 128 in 1 cart. I'm hoping it'll explain some of those 'wtf is going on here' titles, of which there are many! 
Yay! Have finally completed the #Etsy 128 in 1 #Atari2600 multicart list. Haven't played many of the games yet, but love this #Pitfall knockoff called Tom Boy.
List is now here for anyone that has one of these carts (works with #Atari2600plus):

I picked up a couple new toys for my #Atari2600Plus and then I broke my #Atari2600Plus ?? #RetroGaming https://youtu.be/50_RPDL_OGU
Début de soirée en multi sur l'Atari 2600 et j'en ai profité pour lancer Night Driver. Je n'avais jamais joué a ce jeu à l'époque et wouah c'est ultra chaud à jouer ! J'ai dû regarder une vidéo pour comprendre qu'il fallait lâcher le bouton d'accélération 
Par contre, je vous recommande chaudement "Mr run and jump" qui est très addictif !

Can't get #BurgerTime to work on the #Atari2600plus. Just gives the same corrupted screen before crashing the machine. Given a good clean. Works fine on my #Atari2600. This is no great loss, as to be honest, it's absolute shite. The homebrew remake is MUCH better!
Testing out some of my original carts on the #Atari2600plus. This Spider Maze #KTel cart is probably the rarest one I own. And it works! The game, however, sadly isn't all that and probably wasn't worth all the cleaning it took to get it up and running 
Today's wholly inappropriate language is brought to you by Mr Run and Jump, in particular this screen 
which I've only got past once 
*Finally* feeling well enough to play with my #Atari2600plus. Love it so far. My 'board' multicarts do work, which is a massive bonus. You must line them up correctly tho. The #Supervision ones do too, but can be a bit temperamental. Hot swapping feels so, so wrong though
