I'm sure they will. The better question is will there still be adapters to connect it to whatever TV technology we have at the time? There are no more analog RF TVs being made anymore, because of the digital switch...

PM sent.

I love my cat. Your avatar and profile pic disturbs me.

Bah, you need to relocate to West County. Maybe I'll try to visit your place tomorrow. Don't think I have any plans.

I wish gaming retail paid the same as network administration. Because I'd be working in a game store without the wife killing me.

So what happened? I know I saw 'sale pending in your 5200 thread (Because I was interested too) Hope your situation improves. Sorry I can't buy all your stuff, I would if I could.

Slacker's is awesome! Which one do you go to? I work right by the Chesterfield mall, so I hit them during my lunch hour once in awhile.

Friend of mine got one, not long after it came out, but his parents probably got it at an after-Christmas sale (Pretty sure the prices crashed rather quickly) The problem was the commercials made it look SO AWESOME!!!! and it really wasn't. Once we played it, it was like: "Oh, it only puts the scores on the floor there, well, that's kind of lame." And we were the target demographic at the time.

Looks awesome!

Looks like a Super Famicom to me...

Hi there. You must not still be active in the Atari scene. Let me know if you need any help - we always welcome new, or returning people. No, I was in the CoCo crowd back then, definitely not part of the Atari scene. Managed to get in and use up my 30 minutes already today. I remember the first few levels being a real PITA, that doesn't seem to have changed. Save often! I was also very surprised to find the Vista telnet client works perfectly by default.

Meh, knockoffs are fine by me if the quality is good, and probably preferred for displaying/playing with. Those commemorative ones were all pretty good.

OMG! I've been wanting to play DDST for YEARS! Google searching always resulted in nada. So glad I found this thread! I beat the game way back in '90-91 on a local ST bbs. Hope this is the same one!

Yes, the one he wants is a self-centering stick. The black ones don't center. There's actually also a 1-button self centering version. Don't know why they did that. (I have one of each) And as a CoCo enthusiast, I do remember the metal vs. plastic stick on the black model. Metal ones were definitely earlier.

I mentioned in my first post that for the classic stuff, everything is put away when not being played. There's a Flashback 2 and a Jaguar in the drawers, and plenty of 2600 carts in the house. And I got my first heavy-sixer this past weekend, I posted that one in the marketplace forum. Good eye! That was an expensive decision. Sure, I got a deal on the AES. Then you start to buy games for it... Kiss your money goodbye! How much did you pay? $200 for the boxed system (Japanese version)

More pics of the actual gaming center... And trying it with hosting pictures here... The game rack is pretty much modern games, PS1, PS2, GC, and PS3.

They're not that expensive, but I don't think they show up very often.

37" Wouldn't go any bigger. Awesome, that's gotta weigh 500 pounds! Never weighed it but I'd guess around there. I'm a pretty big kid (5'10" at 235) and I could barely shuffle the thing into place down here. It took 2 hefty guys to get it down here and even they had a hard time. Here's some pics of the damage this thing caused to my stairs. I believe you on that. Once a friend bought a 36" flat-tube. It took three of us, and we are not small guys. We wanted to kill him. "I can't wait for it to be delivered, I want it today!". And there were no stairs involved with this one. Stay away from flat-CRTs! Kind of like a couch vs. a sofa sleeper. Don't do it!

Mine is similar, a 32" Trinitron XBR, circa 1998. The front speakers are built-in on the sides of the screen, and it also has large woofers on the rear 'cone' of the case, but instead of facing up like yours, they are on the sides. Sound from it is awesome. You can kind of see how the front speakers look here: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=147404 Got it the year before they started making flat-tubes. The downside is it's not a flat-tube, the upside being the flat-tubes used like 50% more glass, so they are ridiculously heavy. And I agree, the Sony tubes are amazing for classic gaming. Plenty of inputs, (Including a front composite and S-video) and even a component input (which baffles me, since HDTV didn't exist yet)

Nice set of Aerialbots and a full Ultra Magnus. Are those Constructicons some re-release or a knockoff, since the originals were green?

Just picked up 20650F today.
