SuperDuperCharger
Craig Schell, creator of the Intellicart, is now developing the
SuperDuperCharger for the Atari 2600. His new device is a modified
SuperCharger utilizing 64K of RAM. This will allow almost all existing
Atari 2600 games to be played, and will allow development of new games
using any existing bank switching method. Games can then be
distributed on CD or as .bin files for use by other people.
We were able to get a hands-on preview and highly recommend this
product.

PocketVCS
Stuart Russell has created an open source Atari 2600 emulator for the
Microsoft PocketPC.
The PocketVCS software is free to download, and since it is an open source
project, improvements are not only welcomed, but encouraged.

Atarimobile?
Who said classic gamers weren’t a unique breed? Troy Kellog is building a
modified Atari 2600 into the dash of his VW Scirocco. You pretty much
have to see it to believe it.
