My username here is the same as for another forum, and originally from a very cheesy internet game i played in the past... kinda self explanatory, but...:what i've liked for awhile, and what i am.

About 7 or 8 months from now, I'll put up a pretty good picture. Last day of school party: Xbox360 (a friend's bringing it), N64 and atari 2600 (both mine), and afew possible other systems from others all hooked up to 1 TV... Looks like I'll need to get more games...

Sounds VERY familiar. Only one place that I know of that sells any old games. Everywhere else has at best N64 games agewise. Their collection is mostly very common games. Some fun ones, but they've got plenty of dead games (i think the previous owners purposely broke some of them- a Kool-Aid Man doesn't magically get a bunch of cuts at the connection edge through the plastic). Unfortunate really- some otherwise fun games wrecked. EDIT: 11/15/06: Well I just found out about an hour ago that that one place is no longer existant...Woo-hoo...

Well if the TV & system (and/or VCR) are plugged into the same outlet strip, that's a fire hazard right there. They're not meant to handle that much power. The switchboxes are for A/V input to the TV, so those aren't drawing too much current at all (if they were THEN you'd have a problem!).
