Keir

Hey, all. Only 2 days away! Just to clarify this is a tag sale, which is like a yard sale but it’s inside. Also, it’s a semi-private sale. I’ve sent out emails and advertised on a bunch of message boards, but there won’t be any people coming in off the street to buy stuff. So, basically what I’m saying is I’m not expecting hordes of people. In fact, so far only 5 people have told me they’re definitely coming (which is good for those of you who are coming ). I do not have Spiker Volleyball. The rarest Intellivision game I have is Congo Bongo. This is what I have for Laseractive games, and some preliminary prices. That means that I will definitely sell for these prices, but you might be able to talk me down too. Some (I forget which) are missing the spine card, otherwise all are complete. Ghost Rush $75 Goku $90 Hi-Roller Battle $35 (disc has small crack, but seems to work fine) Hyperion $40 I Will $35 Pyramid Patrol $30 Rocket Coaster $40 Triad Stone $60 @ yuppicide, if you’re seriously considering coming, please PM or email me and let’s talk about what kind of stuff you’re looking for. I’d love to have you come, but I’d also hate to have you drive all this way and be disappointed.

Bump for those who missed it the first time. Only 8 days away!

Good thing 3 people rolled the score or I wouldn't have made it into the top 10!

Woah... I forgot that I had 2 accounts here. I guess I logged in with the old one by mistake! Can you change metalkeir to just Keir on the high score list please?

That is weird... 54,200 I got my patch!!! One thing that I like is that when you get close enough to the crook that you appear on the same screen and level as him (even if only for a half a second) you don't have to worry about obstacles so you can just relax until you nab him.

Yes, that’s right, I’m selling everything. No, I’m not getting out of the hobby by any means, I just need to trim down my collection and this is the easiest way. Where: 71 Union St. Bridgewater, MA When: 11:00 am – 6:00 pm Saturday, May 14th What: Everything! To get an idea of the enormity of this event, take a look at my collection photos. Some items I am more attached to than others, and obviously will cost more, however most of it can be had at extremely low prices, well below DP value. Stuff on my trade list will be especially cheap, sometimes even free! NOTE: Please do not contact me asking for private sales/trades until after 5/14. Part of the reason I’m doing this is that I can’t even keep track of what I have anymore so don’t expect me to list everything out for you. To give you a better idea of what’s for sale, here are some rough estimates of quantities of games by system (not including duplicates!): 3DO 1 Amiga 37 Atari 2600 385 Atari 7800 39 Atari 8-bit computers 20 CD32 22 ColecoVision/ADAM 84 Commodore 64/128 281 Dedicated Consoles 1 Dreamcast 19 Famicom 2 Game Boy/GBC/GBA 9 Game Gear 1 Gamecube 6 Genesis/MD 247 GP32 1 Intellivision 103 Laseractive 8 Microvision 1 NES 49 Nintendo 64 6 Odyssey 2 44 PC/PCjr 15 Playstation 73 Playstation 2 10 Saturn 10 Sega 32X 16 Sega CD 10 Sega Master System 14 SNES 7 TI-99/4A 27 TRS-80 9 Turbografx-16/Duo/PCE 50 VIC-20 98 Virtual Boy 7 Total: 1712

Figures. I haven't been following the HSC because I've been too busy at home to play, then I come here and it's one of my favorites! I was able to get 31,050. Gotta get that patch! That's good to know, because those double low bouncing balls did it to me every time!

2,310 Not quite good enough to get in the top 10, but at least I finally got a chance to check out this week's game.

The last part reads "you have only an oil can to give them the slip."

My wife just shakes her head and smiles. Fortunately, we're both really cheap and make good money so we never have to have these conversations.

I'd say $5 tops. I paid $3.50 including shipping for mine from someone on DP.

Yes, it's a Thai bootleg (actually Ms. Pac-Man): http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.p...ight=powerslave

What do the *s mean on your trade list?

Actually, I believe half the place is used for auctions on Friday nights so it stays empty for that. That place does suck though.

I improved a little last night and got a score of 142,090 but then I forgot to post it. Guess it's too late now. Oh well, I still get 5 points for this week.

I agree. It's Marco's Theory on Rarity in action! CTCW is definitely in the 95% category.

Gah! Damn you Manuel! Here’s the pic I promised.

complete boxed "11 indy 500"

Got my magic fish! 131,740 (I took a picture, I can upload it later) It would seem that you earn the magic fish at the start of the level imediately after you reach 100,000 points. So if you break 100k, but don't finish that level you won't get your fish.

For me it is a combination of 3. and 5. The challenge/feeling of personal accomplishment

2 down, 6 to go

You mean the rom?

Finally, I earned my patch... and then some! 92,450 Now to see if I can catch that magic fish.

My first game I got 17,650. Then I remembered that fish were worth points (I had been avoiding them!) My next game I was set to blow that away (I had over 15k with 3 lives and had just completed an igloo) when I lost all my remaining lives to that stupid bear! All I had to do was get back to that igloo, but I couldn't do it. Great game though.
