  1. As a stock trader, I have this curiosity I can't shake about how people used that kind of software back then. But I haven't been able to find a single screen of it, only a picture of the box. Information is scarce as well. I'd be interested of screens of other Atari productivity software for 400/800 as well if anyone has a link. Thanks
  2. http://img149.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1119060005fm0.jpg I checked other coleco auctions, and I don't think I was ripped off. Kind of hard to tell because it doesn't seem to be very common in the first place. Maybe I stumbled on a good thing here(assuming it works). Now I just need a Coleco system.
  3. I got what I thought was a 2600 Star Wars Arcade off ebay, but the cartridge doesn't fit and the chip looks a little bigger. It doesn't look like a 5200 game, but I could be wrong. It's only slightly wider than 2600 games. Here's the picture from the auction.
  4. I bought a Zoombox last week. I think for the comparatively super low price, it delivers what it should. But if you have any kind of video standards, save up for a real one. I intend to soon. In the meantime I've had fun playing Spy Hunter, Rampage, and Star Ship on a 90" screen. I'll be playing Star Wars Arcade on it soon
  5. I just discovered that one of my all-time favorite arcade games was released on a couple Commodore machines and some other one. At the time, arcades were my only exposure to video games and computers before 1988 or so. I had no absolutely no idea Jedi was translated to any home system. I've considered buying the arcade game, but I hesitate because of room. I tried searching for it on ebay with no luck. Is it particularly rare? I'm willing to buy an entire system just to play it. What should I look for in a Commodore? I know pretty much nothing about it. Thanks much.
  6. I've been mulling over buying a 360, and a $50 or so price cut would do the trick.
  7. This is one I have on my list to get. The screens do look good, and I'm fond of the whole Red Baron thing.
  8. I also have to say tennis. The controls are amazingly smooth for a sport that demands precision.
  9. The most hours I stayed up to play a game has to be Quake III by far. That online shooter shit is never ending obsessive fun. I've played until 8 AM or so on a few occasions.
  10. Heh, that would do it. Either that or empty lasagna pans raining down.
  11. I personally have been planning to buy this one http://www.chicago-gaming.com/alegends.php It has a ton of expansion packs. But I've never bought any of these things so I too would like to know what others think.
  12. Holy crap I completely forgot about this game. I played it all the time in arcades and had it for Lynx. The feeling of motion was amazing for it's time.
