  1. I'm moving there. Anything nice there for older game stuff? anything interesting in general in the state at all? I'm in connecticut now. Lots of nice flea markets and yard sales. I find rare games all the time.
  2. I just bought what looked like a normal cx-40 or whatever but under the boot, the stick was black plastic, not white. I haven't opened it yet, but the clicks inside are really loud, so i don't think it has membrane switches. The plug says atari but there's nothing on the base. Neat. there's always variants of stuff, a lot of the time it was for an atari computer.
  3. i don't see a lot of air raiders lying around. and winter sports is a really excellent game, i think the best sports compilation style cart except maybe 2600 california games or nes crash n' the boys. our two beloved flea markets here, rocky hill in RI and mansfield in CT, were abuzz with rumors of closing but they're both back up and running. Gothmog the terrible is pleased by this.
  4. secret quest is impressively put together and has a lot of things going on in it, it's more of a PC shareware era type of computer game. It reminds me of commander keen and such. Adventure is one of those atari games that, because of the limits of the system, simplicity, or whatever, doesn't fit readily into a defined genre, and is thus more interesting and fun.
  5. guys, guys... all atari games are basically golden
  6. well, obviously the ps3 is sowing discord in the "dudes and certain amount of dudettes who enjoy discussing atari online" community... perhaps it Is the spawn of satan. As far as the media... gentleman A insists the media is wholly controlled by commies, whilst gentleman B suggests nazis control the industry. Obviously, they both cannot be correct (these are hypothetical gentlemen, both of whom i've met many times). In truth, the media is controlled by profit, which happens to make them sympathetic to whoever has power. Thusly, if the current administration (this includes all branches and even some powerfully connected NGO's) swings a given way, then the media follows. So at the moment - formerly hefty on the right wing, bending back towards the fuselage a way bit.
  7. blue moonsweeper with (crunched) box laser gates joust (could Not find this anywhere for some reason) star wars est star wars jedi adventures of tron mnetwork football minty commando w/ box and inst frostbite also some of those uncommons that seem so common.. like congo bongo, coconuts, mash dollar each, decent shape
  8. Yea. I've been going to thrift stores for about three quarters of my life and I can confirm reports they're drying up as far as good games. The goodwill near where I live still accepts games as old as atari, they're about 2 dollars a piece which would be great if they were ever any rarer titles. I find genesis games routinely and snes fairly rarely. I took a good sms Haul with all the good shooters such as rtype, fantasy star, space harrier, etc for three dollars a piece. I also found an original gameboy. They're often trying to sell PS1's for ten dollars and failing, which amuses me. Flea markets are great for NES and newer systems, but anyone who has atari in any quantity tends to overprice, assuming they're all rares. Good atari hauls are now yard-sale only, thusly. Realredfive pointed this out to me: always ask if they have any old games, because people often don't think they'd be worth selling at a yard sale or have forgotten them in the attic.
  9. I haven't played atari in three months because my 2600 games have been packed away for out of state girlfriend visit. Except the box of activision ones, anyway... I have noticed that I don't miss the atarisoft titles, especially the box with the first 35 titles. I guess I could go for some breakout, adventure, warlords or invaders but the other 20 something don't tempt me. Instead, I have been playing nintendo. Arkanoid counts as breakout, though, if you have the paddle controller.
  10. I don't think spacechase is a very good game.. agonizingly slow. So this monogram is inserted into the programming and displayed on the screen at some point? oh, I see. Foolish, but amusing.
  11. could you list the games? some of these are hard to see.
  12. I have an ep coming out with 7 or so atari themed songs... All the songs except one are done, sitting on tape, they just need to be mastered. I'll put up samples somewhere when they're all ready.
  13. fun game. i can fit the telegames into my systems : 78, 26, gem.. maybe there's excess plastic flashing or some other quality control issue
  14. isn't that more of a "deliberate bug" rather than a condition of frying? it'd be nice to have a list made of known fryables and their result. I've never done it.
