I'll be there. I'll definitely bring some piss beer and a Kim. I might bring some basic trade stuff...nothing exciting.

I don't have much for trade (as usual), but a meet sounds good to me.

I canceled the raffle because zero raffle tickets were sold. I had no minimum as you suggest. Even if one ticket was sold, I would have kept the raffle going even if that meant that shipping would have cost me more than cash that came in from the raffle tickets. I decided that after the post got about 100 views and no one bought a ticket, that it was fair for me to cancel it since no one seemed interested.

Thanks...Even though it is not the most exciting proto, I thought that at $1 a shot, this would be fun and would give someone a chance of getting a proto for about the same price as they would find one in the wild.

I'm still mad that you don't live around the block anymore. I guess that I will have to haul my lazy ass out to Roslindale. Kim will be there too, and we will have some piss beer in hand. I am going to holding a raffle for an Atari 400 Chess proto during this NECG meet. Info can be found here: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=102085

Update: Due to complete lack of interest from the forum for the raffle, I decided to cancel it. Back into my collection the cart goes... I hope that it is okay that I am posting this here rather than in the buying/selling forum. Moderators, please feel free to move this post if this is an issue, but I thought that it makes more sense to post this here. I need to raise a bit of cash for car repairs and a vacation (and every little bit counts), so I decided that it is time to unload this Atari Chess cart, which, based on the post linked below, I discovered is a proto. Please note that I have not dumped the rom or opened the cart so if I am wrong and it is not a proto, you are entering this raffle at your own risk based on the information available on this page. If you have any questions, please PM me. Also, I would like to note, that when loading this game, I could not see any difference between this version and the released version. The raffle will take place on Feb 25th at the NECG trademeet in Boston, MA. I will announce the winner on this post soon after the drawing takes place. (See http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=101815 for more information about NECG) Here is how the raffle will work. It does not matter whether or not you attend the trademeet. I will mail the cart to the winner free of charge. Each raffle ticket costs $1. You can paypal the cash to me at 321todd@gmail.com. You can buy mutiple tickets if you want. On the day of the raffle at NECG (Feb. 25, 2006), I am going to print out all the paypal receipts. If you bought more than one ticket, I will print out multiple receipts. I am going to fold all receipts in the exact same manner, put them in a dark plastic bag, and head to the NECG meet. Sometime while at the meet, we will hold the drawing. I will shake up the bag, and the tallest NECG member at the meet will pick out a piece of paper at random, and the winner of the cart will be announced. If you are attending NECG and would rather give me cash in person, that is fine. I will write your name on a piece of paper (exactly the same size and type as the paypal receipts), fold it, and place it in the plastic bag. If you question whether or not I will be fair and honest in this drawing, do not bother to buy a raffle ticket.

I am about 8 hours into it, and I used gamefaqs for two things in the first two hours of the game. I don't like using guides, but when an aspect of the game is no longer fun, I have no problem opening one up. -todd

The 25th works for me. Christian-Your homebrew will be conditioned by then so I expect to see some of it in the fridge.

Links to 2 auctions that are going to end in a few hours: Atari and Intellivision Manuals NES Manuals Thanks, Todd

My favorite 2 player DS games are: -Tetris -Mario Kart -Osu! (Japanese Import) -Meteos And, for 2 player DS, you just choose multiplayer, not Nintendo WIFI. -Todd

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 is probably your best bet. However, if you have a DS, I strongly recommend the New Super Mario. -Todd

Thanks for the compliments and the orders! I ran out of blank shirts. I should receive the shipment of new shirts in a few days so all shirts will be sent out later this week. Thanks again, Todd

Thanks for posting that link!

I have the games thrown into a drawer at home. The different sizes makes it a pain to organize. However, my DS with all my games are always in my bag.

I made a few Spike and Molly Vectrex shirts the other day. If you want one, they are $12 each. Shipping and Handling is free in the U.S. (Email me if you want a shirt shipped outside the US.) Order one at http://www.scootanddestroy.com Thanks, Todd
