    I believe there's more evidence to support the latter:

     

    "One month after Mindlink's introduction, Atari's Consumer Electronics and Home

     

    Computer divisions were sold to Tramiel Technologies Ltd. Jack Tramiel and his sons

     

    saw the Mindlink as a toy; they canceled it's development at a cost of many millions of dollars.

     

    Contracts for tooling and semiconductor/IC development had been signed

     

    with toolmakers and National Semiconductor. For those of us that were not dismissed,

     

    Tramiel's stated objective was to destroy compete against Apple."

     

    That was quoted from this article: http://www.atarimuseum.com/videogames/consoles/2600/mindlink.html

    What game is that? And unless tuesday morning was a private store could be real. Target, toysrus, etc always have multiple copies on the shelf. Unless it was a demo or rare game could of been gotten back in the day legaly.

     

    Ok. Air raid is an unrare game whose box was printed by CPUwiz and advertised through TanMan as an April Fools scam in 06. Most people agree that Air Raid is actually PAL.

    Their 80's display doesn't include any videogaming system, but does feature an Apple IIc as well as an ad for the Timex Sinclair.

     

    I thought you said the Atari was in the 80's section...I am confused sorry :(

     

    Typo. It was suppose to be 70's.

     

    But the Apple IIc was out from 84-89 according to Wikipedia (I had an IBM so I dunno) That was the typo then? Still wrong that was supposed to be the 80's

    Just heard second-hand about a Craigslist horror story. The story goes that this guy is looking for some side work on Craigslist and he comes upon an ad for a roofing job. In the ad it says you will be compensated well or something to that effect. So he gets to the guy's house and they talk about the job for a bit and the guy agrees to do it. So then the house owner, who by the way looks creepy as heck they told me, with large out of date glasses and beady eyes, asks the guy if he'd like his payment now. The guy looks at him and says, "you pay me when the job is done." And the guy is like, "you must have misunderstood my ad. My payment is sex." Well the guy is freaked the heck out, calls the guy a sicko or freak or whatever, and gets out of there. He reported this to the police and the guy is apparently in alot of crap for this.

     

    This got me thinking about some of my own encounters hunting Atari 2600 through Craigslist, and how awkward they could have been (luckily all of mine have been ok thus far).

     

    So my question to you is this: how far will you go for that ultra rare 10 game? Are random sex acts with strangers of the same sex out of the question?

    Here is a picture of some of the new ones! I never realized that Wall Ball was Sports Illustrated!

     

    I have never played any of these games on the 2600, most never at all. Which are good ones to play?

    I am looking forward to Tapper!

    Wall Ball is pretty fun, but the noise it makes when you miss gets annoying really fast.

    I was walking out of this bar that my friend owns back home, and out by his dumpsters there were several boxes of Atari 2600 games. There were tons of Xonox double enders and T-handles. I remember one of the titles: Earth! Attack! Now! (not the same as Earth Attack). There were alot of Zellers looking games and some weird T-handle carts that were half the size of normal carts. I was grabbing these games by the handfuls trying to put them in bags. I remember thinking in the back of my head, "I hope these aren't all PAL." There was this one strange controller adapter too that came in a Starpath style box. Ah well...back to reality again.
