Box O' Crap is paid for... Can't wait to unbox it!

I think we have a spare air mattress I could send you.

Bumpity bump bump, with a new lower price!

I was 14 and saved up a bunch of money to buy an NES game (like two or three months of allowance!), and at Toys-R-Us I picked Ikari Warriors 2. (Since the first one was actually good!) After having the most disappointing Saturday afternoon ever, I tried to return it, being denied by the policy. Well, my little smartass self watched that 'Fight Back' show of the time, about consumers winning and what not, and I rode my bike to the local courthouse and found the office where I could file a small claims lawsuit. I think it was the local 'consumer protection' office. There was very nice employee there willing to help me out, I guess he thought this was interesting - or maybe he was just impressed/amused that some kid rode his bike to the courthouse to file his own lawsuit. I imagine it was pretty hilarious! Anyway, Toys-R-Us corporate ended up sending me a letter saying they will give in and gave me store credit for the game in lieu of the court case 'this one time'. Good enough for me! Sadly, I can't even remember what game I got instead! But I do remember my parents being fairly proud I took on this task on my own. Only lawsuit I was ever involved in, and I was just 14 years old!

+1! Both of those are terrible! I think the longest I've ever played either of them is 30 seconds.

Talk about epic thread crapping.

NFL Football looks to be Intellivision. Everything else there is 2600.

PM sent, because this is just what our house needs, another 'new' computer platform to mess with! Wife went shoe shopping last night, I have to get even! Please educate me on the Falcon platform. Never played with one or any other Atari computer for that matter.

Nope, no artifact colors with an RGB monitor. However one company did make an 'RGBpatch' program that supposedly emulates it. You load it before loading the game that uses artifact colors. No idea how well it actually works, I never got around to trying it.

Yes, it was a CM8. The plug is custom, but the output is 15kHZ analog RGB, same as Amiga. You can get an adapter here for use with a Commodore monitor http://www.frontiernet.net/~mmarlette/Cloud-9/Hardware/Video%20Cables.html Someone makes an RGB to VGA converter for the CoCo 3, I think the price is now about $70: http://miba51.com/CoCo_VGA_Adpater.html Someone else makes an RGB to S-Video converter as well.

You sure it's not your Sega or 32x?

Drooling... I have wanted a NeXT cube for many years... Too rich for my blood though.

Not sure what the hell happened here... eBay Auction -- Item Number: 160497920684

1. What's it full name? Tandy Color Computer What? I'm nearly sure you mean TRS-80, but i don't know. Tandy Color Computer or TRS-80 Color Computer 2. Is it really good for gaming? Sure, lots of good games for it. Better graphics than a 2600 for sure. The CoCo 3 has even better graphics. 3. How it looks? (Picture please) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS-80_Color_Computer 4. Is it rare and how much may i pay for one? Not really rare, and not really expensive. You can get a refurbished CoCo3 with the 512k upgrade for like $50. 5. Is it easy to collect? Games and hardware aren't really on eBay a lot, but when they are they don't usually cost much. 6. Are there PAL versions? There were clones called the Dragon 32 and 64 in Europe. Not sure if there are other PAL versions. 7. OK, I see that there are three models. Which is best? The CoCo 3 is best, since it was the newest model with better graphics and more memory.

"Acid free bag" is a comic book storage thing, so it's not necessarily complete BS.

I will paypal you $50 to videotape yourself burning the Adrian Peterson jersey as well as your Favre jersey mentioned in the auction. Go Packers!

I have one posted for sale, but it's the Japanese version. http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/167718-neo-geo-aes-collection/

Going to be tough getting someone interested in the whole collection, but good luck!

Don't know about the Jaguar being meant for educational software.... Yes, it was $80. I don't know how many were made, but it had to be discontinued because of a problem with using some music without permission. So it's possible that a future release would be different as well.

Today's Goodwill find: 2600 Combat and Defender, for only $10 each! Somehow I managed to contain my excitement and pass this awesome deal up.

A+ Seller. Would buy from again, as soon as he posts more stuff I want! The wife will love her new My Little Pony (or at least roll her eyes and laugh!)

What? Thread necromancy FTW!

I would think pictures would be very important for something so awesome...

I had just gotten back from the bar last night when I PM'ed. During the day I still have the side of the brain going "STOP IT! You don't need more stuff!" So maybe late tonight I'll change my mind.

PM Incoming!
