Pictures would be helpful, as well as the functional status.

I'm also in the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" category. My CoCo 3 just ran another 20 hours at the MGC two weeks ago with no problems. It's all original except for the modern 512K upgrade I swapped out from the original version a couple years ago. (Knocks on wooden desk)

You couldn't have been worse than one guy that stumbled into the museum Saturday night, sat down, slumped over a table, and then pissed his pants.

Wow, it is finally worth some good money! I always liked the Tengen version better, probably because it's the first one I saw and played. Then when I saw the Nintendo release a year or so later it was kind of confusing, it wasn't what I played, and I didn't think it was nearly as good looking. First impressions I guess.

Even if they're not eBay prices they are still crazy compared to 10 years ago. Guy had a Laseractive with both Sega and TG-16 modules: $4000!

I didn't run into any bottlenecks, but then again I always avoid the vendor hall the first few hours because I don't buy much at all anymore. Too much stuff already, and prices have gone insane.

Had another great time this year. Picked up one of the Nuon N64 controller adapters from @Songbird, and we chatted about the XFL for a bit as well - and that @Albert needs to show up. My CoCo3 ran for 20+ hours without a single freeze, usually I come back to it once or twice and it's frozen with the sparklies glitch and needs a reboot. I couldn't count the number of people that played Frogger on the XEGS. Tried all the new pinball machines, my personal favorite was OO7. There was also a custom(I assume custom) four player Warlords tall tabletop, which was a lot of fun. And @MattPilz is correct about the World of Nintendo exhibit, that was amazing!

I bet @Metal Jesus would have some good input, he went last year. As well as @swlovinist.

I also have one of the collector editions. I remember sitting at the wait on the computer the morning for the game to go on sale to score one... They were supposed to be working on Casey's Gold, then they announced this game, and 2 years later still no word on Casey's Gold.

I discovered and joined AA because of your booth way back in 2007, and I've been going ever since. I'm pretty sure it's comparable or possibly even bigger than PGRE after looking at the event spaces sizes.

A little late for the post this year, we're just 4 weeks away from MGC 2023. I'm planning to be there again with the CoCo 3 and at least an XEGS.

I've driven a 1920 Model T, and current car is a 2018 Honda. Definitely the Honda for so many reasons.

For $3 you can test this on modern TVs with the coax input. https://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=42

The history I remember is Bungie (Of Marathon for Mac fame) was making the "greatest FPS ever" for PC (according to gaming magazines and articles of the time). Then Microsoft bought them to make it an exclusive for the upcoming Xbox. Then 2 years later they released it for PC. And topic related, I also bought a Jaguar to play Tempest 2000.

They are just standard AV or "RCA" cables. The colors don't matter. As Tanooki said, Nintendo used red and yellow. The boot colors don't matter, as long as they match the corresponding ports on both sides.

Used to have many more retro game shops, now we're down to 3 or 4, one being Vintage Stock, which is a chain. Not sure why anyone is counting Gamestop - that's barely a game store, I think they only go back one generation for used nowadays, at least around here. Prices are all stupid everywhere, yet I still go browsing, probably just do something on weekends. I tell my wife I'm going 'nerd antiquing'. When I see something I might be interested in, I'm kind of in @Keatah mode. Brain goes "YOU DON'T NEED THAT ANYMORE!" even if it's a fairly cheap loose cart. The hardest things to resist at the V-Stock nowadays is when there are G1 boxed Transformers in the case....

Well, even though the name is blanked out, I guess I know who to PM if I get a traffic ticket in AZ!

Wow, now Micro Center has them down to $129.99.

Bumping this 4+ year old thread (Wow, can't believe it's been that long) Anyway, so I brought the 4000 to VCFMW in 2019, and a very helpful Amiga guy there checked it out and said it most definitely needed to be archived due to the stuff/code/configurations my friend had on there. I think he said something to the affect of "this guy must have been a genius". He told me his email address, but sadly I must have not gotten it right as my message bounced as invalid. His suggestion was to connect the drives to a USB to IDE converter and then get the data with WinUAE. But it turns out these drives are before LBA - which what the USB converters use. They use the old CHS parameters. So these drives are still currently not saved, but thankfully still working for the moment. Not sure if I should try them in a PC, I think the oldest usable one I have for this task is a P3 from around 2003, I don't know if that BIOS would have the CHS options to connect such a drive. Looking for other options, maybe a network card to put in it? Or maybe even a serial transfer? The biggest downside is I am not familiar with the OS at all.

I just posted today to the ST forum thread, yes, works just fine with my 4000.
