Little update, been working hard on the last pieces- Got River Raid 2 today(already had the faux-patch), and got Pitfall 2 and the patch for it a week or so ago! Only missing Beamrider, Cosmic Commuter, and Ghostbusters CIB, plus a handful of patches-a couple here are repro's, Private Eye, Space Shuttle, but 99% is real deal.

Man, I love knowing this stuff so well when I play it, that it's like a "story" to me. I mean, it is. But you know.

Wow! You might get me. If you are that high, you know what's going on. Good Job!

Armscar explained it well. He would know! Ya, that said, you have a choice to make sometimes there. If you have a power up in hand that you'd prefer to keep moving to the next level, and Kitty comes out with another that you don't REALLY need, then don't press the fire button, to keep the one you have. More importantly, if you DON'T like the power up you have, you sometimes even wait for the kitty, use the one you have at the last second before touching Kitty, hoping for a "better" power up. "Better" is relative, sorta, depending on the situation. All the power ups can be useful. Definitely part of the strategy there tho, thinking about the power up exchange, keep or use.

Now you know!

Ya-EVERY time. More literally than I thought. Lol, don't say I didn't try to help! But THIS is how ya do it. DoggoneitL2bells.mp4

You have to start using the bell in the middle for almost every delivery once the Therapy Dogs get fast, that's the most important thing to completing that level! Don't always walk straight up to it, get close and hit it when the dogs are at a good spot for you you slip past them when they are frozen.

Oh, YEAH!!! This is awesome. The high score on Doggone It! is 62,149, and that was by yours truly, lol, earning me a quote on the back of the box, and a long-time friendship with the author/creator. Really personally vested in this game, tho I had nothing to do with it's creation or anything- Was playing in the HSC, tbh didn't care for homebrew at all(Booo!), but had to play them, and this game just stood out. Then I learned a bit more about the story and all, and really, really clicked with the game, I'm not sure anyone will beat my score(tho I'd cheer for them if they did!), it's actually a listed high score at the Atari Compendium, so that's a bonus, if someone beats me! Just, JUST heard about this being played(I've got friends in low places, haha!), so gotta think on it, but I'll surely try to do something nice for someone, if they do manage to beat my score, but I'll have to think on what it could be. Luck/RNG plays a factor, in getting the best power ups(I'm gonna have to refresh myself on the game, tbh...), but learning when to use them properly, even sometimes waiting for Culvert Kitty to come out and exchanging them at the last moment(again, I have to refresh myself), is important. Around my score, it's almost killscreen speed, the game gets faster and faster, so there surely IS a limit in what a human can do, it's not an "endless game", so I do remember that it's important to score high early. Play the first few levels, figure out your potential, and make sure to do at least that, every time, or reset. Ah. Sorry for butting in, writing a novel. I'm just really, really tickled that this game is being played again, once you get to the point of understanding it, it's a GREAT game, I promise. Have Fun, Ya'll, I'll check in to see how it's going! Good Luck!!!

Sorry for cluttering the thread, I can't afford the stuffs. I actually won a bounty on ESPIAL, playing in the HSC here, the HSC was here, bounty was another site, I used the bounty money to kick off a useless but interesting Meteorite collection. Anyway. I'm thinking of Schrodinger's cat on the graded one... How do they know? Teasing. Good Luck with the sale!

Getting pretty darned close- Rampage/Double Dragon came today, both are in gorgeous condition, I got pretty lucky! Obviously not all purchased today, but this is how close I am, haha, patches and CIB's! Private Eye and Space Shuttle patches are repros, BTW, rest is real deal.

I was sure I had posted a lookout here months/years(?)ago, but looking back, evidently not. Truly set on getting all the Activision 2600 CIB's and patches, and am getting down to the last few, sorta. Not saying I can jump up this second and PPL ya 500$ for a H.E.R.O. patch, lol, but just throwing these out here, what I lack, in case someone can help me out. "Nice condition" would be nice, but I can take your second, lol, no problem, and go about improving them after I get them all. OK, the CIB's I lack: (Looking for NTSC, BTW) Beamrider Cosmic Commuter Ghostbusters Pitfall 2 River Raid Seriously, that's pretty close, ya? Someone help me! Patches: Decathlon Silver Dolphin, "Amazing" H.E.R.O.(obviously...) Pitfall 2 Private Eye Space Shuttle Closer on those than I'd realized, I guess!!! Ya, I am kinda spoiled, when $ is available, and I have all kinds of stuff to trade for/towards, whatever. Thanks a lot for anyone willing to help me with some of these! Rogerpoco

Not playing this season I don't think, but have, and comment some, can't resist. Mountain City, Tennessee, USA. Reason for wanting to chime in- When I first moved here from Florida, I dated a German exchange student, Yudit, from Stuttgart, was a neat experience. Very upper east tip of Tennessee, literally-road to the left is quickly in Virginia, road to the right is quickly to North Carolina, and coming up from the bottom is the rest of Tennessee, is a pretty neat place, and this is a pretty neat view I suppose.

Got the Gold solo, the rest as a lot. FINALLY!!! Hands were kinda shaking when I opened the Gold, am getting pretty close to having all the 2600 patches, tho the ones I lack are...house payments, lol, kinda like the Gold(I got a good deal). Only really needed the Worm Whomper from the lot, don't much care for the game, and not the biggest INT fan(it's ok tho!), but "it's there", so I needed it. Rest are doubles, and most seem to be in better shape than the ones I already had, so yay! Haha-I deserve that Gold. Earned it on over a half dozen systems/emus now, lol, trackball or not! (Trackball, not "not").

Saw this in my email, prayed for Maze Maniac, but noooooooo...

Wow!!! I got Stratego for Christmas, kinda picked it out myself, for a dollar at Goodwill- Sat on the floor for five minutes, making sure it was all there. Was amazed that it was. Me and my best bud in Elementary school "Enrichment Geeks", spent hours playing this. Dying to get someone in my Family interested, but so far, no go. Man, what a good game! Yurs is on better shape, lol, but that's ok.
