  1. Glad you enjoyed yourself and I was very happy to get to sit around and reminisce with a fellow Atarian. Appreciate the help clearing room and will probably list the rest soon to clear more out Thanks again
  2. Vast majority has been sold. Current buyer has first dibs on remainder since it didn't all fit in one trip then I may make a post about the rest. Went off without a hitch and they were happy as am I so good all around
  3. Pretty solid buyer has messaged me. If things fall through, I'll follow up here. If anyone is interested in older games, etc from my collection, shoot me a line and I'll give a much better deal than ebay and certainly more responsive. I do need to clarify though, Atari-8, C64, Apple and Vic20 carts are staying. I'm keeping one 800XL and the games and letting the lot above go. Thanks for the interest everyone.
  4. Haven't been here in quite a while and have downsized houses and now looking to clear room so starting to go through my accumulation. I'm looking to sell off a lot of old computer equipment that I bought in mass about ten years ago. It has been moved from Virginia Beach, VA to Mooresville, NC to settle in Sparta, NC. In all that time I have barely looked through it. I have added a few things from my collection I wish to get rid of such as a ton of Compute books, Analog and Antics, and an M-I/O. Admittedly everything needs a good cleaning and testing and I'm not sure of completeness of a lot of it especially the hard drives and such. There are blue tape labels documenting condition and it matches what I have on some of my equipment so I'm assuming I tested some of it years ago but don't even recall. Highlights are an ICD AD-SCSI ST board, 2 Adaptec controller boards, Mega ST2 & 4 (but only one keyboard), 1200XL, boxed complete XEGS (box in horrible condition), Black Box, 1meg ICD M-I/O which used to run Watch City BBS back in the day, 2 Indus GTs, Rana drive, several Percoms, 2 Supra drives (not sure of internals), ATR-8000 and what I recall being a mostly complete set of Antics and Analogs. Lots of the drives are upgraded. Think most 1050s were Doubler, 810s were Happy and one 800 has Omnimon in it. All the CRTs powered up without issues but only hooked up to ones with AV inputs. ST ones powered up. Looking to sell as a lot and for obvious reasons not looking to ship. Would like to get $1000 for the whole unit. Have no interest in parting out the lot. I'm looking to clear room so piece parting it and making 42 trips to the post office not appealing. Willing to work with the buyer on scheduling but shorter term is preferable since I have boxes all over my guest house and wife wants people to actually be able to visit Pictures are available here. Also looking to sell a ton of retrogaming carts/disks and hardware pre-PS3, Xbox 360 and will put together packages and ship those. My collection is available here . Best contact is aldavis218@gmail.com though I will check messaging here. Thanks for looking
  5. You can get the Steam version of Sherlock Holmes: Devil's Daughter, The Surge, the Wonderboy remake and Atari Vault for $3.49 in a bundle at Fanatical (https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/killer-bundle-12) Gotta love picking up the VCS killer app for less than $.90
  6. Beside things like the Summer, Holiday, etc sales, most of the sales start on Tuesday and last a week. There is always a sale running it seems. I would recommend going to True Achievements and checking the site out. They have a tracker for games so alert you when they go on sale and they post the sales pretty much as soon as they go up. Much easier than trying to browse the MS store.
  7. Catching up on my backlog so playing King's Quest. Made it through the first three chapters so will probably finish today After that I'll move on to Mad Max, Just Cause 4 and completing the 4 and 8 minute runs in Refunct
  8. As always, a pleasure to do business with. Games arrived quickly and were in very good condition.
  9. Man, I'm sorry to hear about that. He was a really great guy. When I first was in the Navy back in '91 and stationed in Great Lakes, I used to call his BBS all the time. He introduced me to several people at ICD to fix one of my M-I/Os. Visited him several times to swap software and I still have a ton of hardware that we bought and traded from him.
  10. 10-12 inches here. Been snowing since last night. Glad I put the plow on the tractor yesterday in case I need to get out
  11. I just started The Witness which is a puzzle type game sort of Myst-lite. Was a Games with Gold a while back. If I can get the wife to sit down and play also, we will probably play around with Overcooked which is Games with Gold for this month. She loves time management games so I think she'll enjoy it
  12. Well my understanding is that it is similar to Journey, Flow or Flower on the PS3 and some of the same developers were involved. More of an experience than a game. I loved Journey and thought the environments and multiplayer aspects of it were really cool. It is still one of my go to games when I just feel like relaxing. Abzu is all underwater exploration and while interesting I don't think it comes close to carrying the impact that Journey does. Also the music doesn't seem to fit it as well in places. I completed Abzu in about two hours then spent about another hour wrapping up all the achievements and doubt I will go back to it. I paid $10 for the physical copy and that was about right. Any more and I would have been very disappointed in the purchase.
  13. I'm wrapping up Saints Row IV from the last sale. Final two achievements and it and the DLC will be completed. Enjoyed the silly world and sandbox aspects but a little goes a long way especially when you are extremely overpowered near the end. After I finish it up, I'll probably play Abzu and Just Cause 3 which I have had for a while. I got Enter the Gungeon also during the sale but haven't started it yet though I think it is something I will like. I'm still playing Rare Replay also when I'm in the mood for an N64 style game.
  14. Some prices reduced. Sold items removed
  15. Bonk's Adventure sold locally. Rest still available.
