  1. I get to leave his first feedback for being a seller. I'd definitely buy from him again. Ships quickly and very easy to deal with. Plus, he's obviously a MegaMania fan.
  2. So, is there anyone besides me that got multiple copies? (One to play, and one to keep sealed) It's already sold out on Amazon. I'm hoping it goes the way of Metroid Prime Trilogy. Would have bought the last one at Target this evening, but one corner was all smashed up. Ick. I hope the ones on the way via USPS are packed decently.
  3. that guy could teabag 30 women at once...... As horrible as that was, did no-one else think of last season's South Park episode? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70jXA7BKe-Y
  4. I hate it when people delete the whole post, I wanna know what I might have missed out on!
  5. Well this sucks, I completely missed this thread until today! Ah well. Maybe next year.
  6. I would think Longhorn's mod would add at least $45 to the value of the unit, since that's how much it costs. Personally I don't think it would detract from the value at all.
  7. Any in-store specials? I might have to take the trip to south county.
  8. Well, it turns out it DID show up on Wednesday. Except my wife just brought it in from the basement door, set it aside out of view, and failed to mention it. Discovered it this morning while taking out the trash. Anyway, rmaerz was correct in that this was packed. He must be some sort of real-life Tetris expert. Here's the pics: A random selection of joysticks and two AC adapters. A really nice Wico in good shape there too! Carts and manuals/random flat things: None of the manuals match with the carts. I found that extra amusing! One 2600 game I've never even played before, Nexar. I'll have to try that out. So thanks rmaerz, this was fun!

    Box O Crap!

  10. I promise I will update the thread. Where are you shipping from, hopefully you're close enough that I get it before the long weekend! Harrisburg so hopefully you'll get it Wednesday... Dang, no such luck today! Guess everyone has to wait until Friday.
  11. I'll just whip out the old Jaguar CD, or load up the old DOS version I have, rather than paying for it yet again!
  12. Just got the news via e-mail. You guys should learn to BCC...

  14. Box O' Crap is paid for... Can't wait to unbox it!
  15. I think we have a spare air mattress I could send you.
  16. Bumpity bump bump, with a new lower price!
  17. 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!
  18. +1! Both of those are terrible! I think the longest I've ever played either of them is 30 seconds.
  19. Talk about epic thread crapping.
  20. NFL Football looks to be Intellivision. Everything else there is 2600.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
