    Now i remember why i stay away from wrestling games for years at a time :x they cheat it's that simple they cheat, i thought by now maybe things would be different but sadly it's the same old.

     

    I am running my CAW though season mode and to secure my spot at The Rumble Royal i had a ladder match with JBL and despite me pummeling him until he could not get up he consistently pops back up and attacks me his little body meter is red if i knock him down he will lay there for 10-15 seconds and not move, but dont you just know the moment i knock him down and start up the ladder he pops up and stops me. and of course the capper was when i threw him out the ring and the moment i nearly had the briefcase he appeared on the ladder in front of me and i get suplexed off and lose. :x

     

     

    Are there any wrestling games that don't cheat? I'd really like to know.

    Well i certainly can't top yours :) mostly due to me getting vertigo in the very first game thanks to the lousy camera bouncing all over the place it made me sick literally.

     

    And i also agree about the killing and would point out to folks that the Indiana Jones concept never really went out of style the movies continue to be popular and are still popular enough to spawn another sequel Indy isn't kill crazy he doesn't need to be it's not his job, has he killed yes? was it mainly in self defense/preservation? yes.

     

    I have not played any other Tomb Raider games since the first one so i can't rightfully comment on the whole series but based on what i've read and the clips i've seen i can say she needs to get back to basics.

    I'm sorry..... i know there are hardcore collectors out there but for me it's all about perspective really, i don't care if Elvis rose from the grave hopped in his Cadillac drove to the moon and played this game while giving a 24 hour concert for charity, $5000 puts a nice down payment on a car , goes a long way to fixing the roof on my house, can go into a savings plan for a college education for my kid, or just pays a hell of a lot of bills.

     

    If i'm down at the local Red White and Blue thrift store and i snag a Chase the Chuckwagon for 1/2 off then thats cool!(I did this) If i am at my local grocery store and they are clearing out the old game systems to make way for the new ones in their movie dept and i snag a complete Jaguar system for $5 and a stack-o- games for $1 each then thats cool too! (This happened to me too at the Giant Eagle in West View,PA)

     

    My point is what someone else does with their money is their business but seeing the price for that cartridge just blew my mind enough for me to feel that i had to comment :-o

    Boy oh Boy! This is to all of the HATERS out there! YES the Atari Gods are REALLY smiling down on me!!! You may not have agreed with the choice I made on turning the "SHOP OWNER" on to the rarity of Water World but yes folks it is COMING AROUND!!! As of today I will be working for the "SHOP OWNER" (part time) when I have free time! I will be the one pricing ALL of his retro & classic games! This means NES, SUPER NES, SEGA, ATARI, COLECOVISION, INTELEVISION ext... This guy has a small warehouse just filled with this crap! I have been into gaming for years now and I must say that I've never seen anything like this. We are talking Thousands of games just waiting for collectors to get there little hands on! And yes people my hands WILL be on them first! Can you believe this guy has three more copies of Water World!? One with a manual but not the comic book.

     

    Honestly people, when I was going throught this stuff I felt like I was at a Children's Palace or Kiddie City minus the Mystique and Playaround games LOL!! The owner has no problem at all filling out holes in my collection for payment for helping him out! That was his suggestion, I eagerly agreed!

    Well sadly none of his items sold :( , it makes me hesitant to sell all these NIB Atari games my aunt from New Mexico keeps sending me i dunno if they were flood damaged or what some of them are muddy and she won't tell me where she found them but she has already sent at least 50+ copies of E.T.

     

    Oh well maybe i'll hold on to them for awhile :rolling:

    I recently acquired a Commodore Vic20 and quite frankly it looks like a zombie drug it out of the grave with it yellowed from years of rotting in a chain smokers home, dirt and dust in all the crevasses it's hideous.

    I cleaned it up a good bit with Lysol wipes but it still needs help so i will try this:

     

    Denture Cleaner w/baking soda

     

     

    I will post the before and after pics hopefully this will work well! :)

    Actually the store manager is just as much under the "gun" so to speak as the counter person because if the numbers aren't right for the store then they are just as likely to get fired, better to get the 800 number and complain to the district manager or area advisor or better yet contact corporate directly and voice your displeasure with the pushiness.

    Welcome to the boards!

     

    Atari was a huge part of my life in the late 70's early 80's and while i have kept up with the newer systems over the years all the way up to the Wii while there are usually one or two games that get replay on my newer systems but with the Atari or my Intellivision for that matter there is almost something magical about those systems i have tons of games for Atari and i love them all! the colors the sounds the graphics were all part of the magic.

     

    Even after all these years my Atari gets more attention than most of my other systems.
