OK - sure that I've 'disliked' games before.......... but ... I HATE THIS GAME!!!! DEATH TO THE PROGRAMERS and ALL OF THEIR FAMILIES!!!! OK NOT really but this game Never a match for me... I was always terrble at it and I WILL ALWAYS BE SO... 5500 althought that attached shows 4100 - what ever - I don't care - score me 0 if necessary.... :-(

Had a great time at the MGC and it was a pleasure to meet 'Opcode'! Thanks Eduardo for listening to me and answering all of my questions (Glad your wife let you go for the weekend! ) Knightmare was COOL - my favorite of upcoming games ... (well DKA was nice also..) - OK so was Goonies (ya I liked Ping Pong too!!!) - send me them all NOW! The expansion module (although I don't understand A THING ABOUT IT) was neat!!! Great piece of hardware - you are a Coleco GURU! Only wish that he would have sold me the module and 'proto' games for the HIGH expensive price of $3 each that I'd offered - he he. It would have been great to meet Pixelboy and Retroillucid and other Coleco homebrewers ... but alas I know that is not always possible. Kinda bummed that I didn't hook up with Jboypacman and Tempest.... missed them here and at the last MCGG meeting - good grief that needs to be fixed soon. Overall - bought a few things and (hopefully) made some new friends Thanks to the organizers of the MGC show Jeff31

I wondered what that picture was - thanks.

I'll be attending - a badge would be nice - name is easy - Jeff

A little over 500 (includes label variants)

Hmm... maybe (huge maybe) I could host a meeting in the future. I'm located in the Lansing area. That would allow 'west' coast members (including northern Indiana and Illinois) as well as Detroit area members (and northern Ohio) to attend... no promises but a middle ground might work out for most people... Maybe someone from the Jackson area can host?...

getting the harvest is huge! If you don't get lucky... your doomed to 5-6 place this round... I didn't get lucky

520ish. haven't added anything recently...

I agree! This game brings back memories. Many years ago my then wife had a 'world record' high score of over 1,900,000 on level 1 (best I could do was around 1.5 mil). Years later when they started asking for verification we emailed twin galaxies and had them remove the score because we didn't have any 'proof'. Just looked. Her score still would place 4th. Anyway my best so far is 83,300. The monsters are tougher on level 2... sometimes ya have to wait 'forever' before you can get the veggie!

That sucks... at 3:30, Tempest, my wife, and I were sitting at a table in the front part of the building to the right of where you walk in at. Jboy and his entourage arrived about 4:00. Chris Leach was a bit after that. Arrghh... I remember 3 people at a table (it was most likely you three). I was listening to what people were talking about - listening for the words 'Atariage' / 'Classic Gaming' and such but never heard anything like that. Next time I'll bring a big sign with me that says 'ATARIAGE' & 'MCGG'.

I was there...around 3:30 DS me scheduled something earlier in the day and I arrived somewhat late... didn't have time to check this post to see where to meet / whom was wearing what etc... So I missed out again... :sad: maybe next time...

OK - got to read the 'manual' on this game...WTF!!! I've score 0! so far on this game... that maybe my final score!!!!!

Tempest / joypacman - would LOVE to attend (WANT) this event...!!! Can we go together? 90% sure I can but work may make this not so... We can talk this weekend!!!!

I'm going to attend.

Did these ship? Has anyone gotten the cart? Haven't seen anything yet (will probably get a package tomorrow ). Thanks CB!

Ya know... I've read this post for a while and I think... "I've have found squat in the last 10 years"... yeah 10 years... a Genesis sports game (etc.) here or there or an Atari 2600 Combat cart priced at $10!!!! - yeah right! However about 12-13 years ago I did walk into a local store and the owner offered me... an Intellivision 1, 2 INTV 2's, 2 INTV 'computers' (one working, one 'quirky'), a keyboard, 12-15 boxed games and 5-10 loose carts for ..... $15.... I passed thinking what a crappy deal... :ponder: but then my complusive desire to own as much as I could kicked in and the following day I went in a bought the stuff... :P About 6 months / a year later EBAY kicked into high gear and the next time I went into that store the owner was like "OH WOW DID YOU GET A GREAT DEAL!!!!!!" Yeah - maybe so but the stuff has been boxed up and stored since that time (Colecovision & Atari 2600 fan)... I've pulled it out once or twice but can't get 'into' the Intellivision controllers... To each there own.... Enjoy your finds in the wild! Jeff

I have purchased almost EVERY game the OPCODE has put out over the last 8-10 years and I for one can say that they are GREAT!!! If you love (or like or are mildly interested...) check them out... If you purchase a game that you like you won't be disappointed.

Oh and "I'M HOPING THAT THIS CARRIES ON IN THE FUTURE!!!" - this MCGG group - I knew that there were a bunch of you out there that liked classic video gaming in our tri-state area!!!

Wait - wait!!! if 'we' are the MCGG group and aftermac did a 'banner' shouldn't it containing the Red Wings (based upon his avatar) in it? (yes I'm a big Red wings fan also...) Can't wait to meet everyone on the 20th!

Like everyone else, I've got a ton of eBay horror stories as well. Wow! Maybe I haven't done a lot of EBAY deals (hears thunder in the distance... dodges some lightning...) but I've been fairly lucky(?) with ebay since 1998. The only deal I had go south was reported to EBAY with documentation and I was refunded fees and shipping costs. Now I'm not claiming that they are perfect... but if you have a 'zillion' auctions closing every hour then if only 1 or 2 percent go bad then this can add up to a large number of 'bad' auctions! I for one am hoping that AL's pictures (based upon the original Auction statements) are good enough for a full refund. PS can you put the carts in a dish washer on 'full' pan scrub cycle to save them? Hope that the shells can be saved somehow..... Jeff

Not interested in this auction - but welcome to Michigan! Will keep and eye on the Auction Thread for more sales.

A bit better - 50,700 - with new camera... but my so called 'old' Mac now won't recognize my camera --- it did a few weeks ago... after several 'upgrades' - SAFARI is useless (as well as other software from APPLE) now and I've switched to Firefox (which I have NOT upgraded in a few years)... guess it's time to load Apple's pockets with my $ and buy a new mac - THIS ONE SHOULD WORK FINE!!! :( :( :( - EVIL BASTARDS THAT THEY ARE... yeah windows sucks also... Sorry for the rant... 10 years ago Apple was NOT like this...they are become more and more like the windoze I remember from the past...

3 or 4 times a year seems perfect for me. Maybe 2-3 times down towards the 'Detroit area' and 1 or twice in the Grand Rapids / Lansing / Tri-Cities area.

I don't know we might have to drop the gloves! ...or at least settle our differences over some air-hockey. LOL - some of us Wings fans would like to see some of our Canadian AA members as well as Ohio, Indiana and Illinois AA members at this meeting (as long as our host doesn't have to open his house to 50 people!!! :) )

49,900 - will post a pick if I can get my old camera to turn on...
