Got mine today today! Thanks Scott! The flashing white cart is so awesome. My wife even said, "That is so cool!". Great job!

Hey sorry guys I had bought a new router to replace one that was about 7 years old and ever since the replacement came in things have been out of whack. I finally determined I also needed a new modem and bought one the morning we did live news. Bought one at Staples and brought it home and called COX to sync it up and they said my new modem was already registered to someone else and he couldn't do anything about it without the permission of whom it was registered too. So it appeared I bought one that was returned (but still activated, weird) so had to run back to staples and get another one. You can hear some of my cussing in the car in our outtakes audio. The good news is everything is back up and running as it should so at least for my audio issues, should all be fixed up for the Feb show.

KABOOM!

Oh, Bagman is a GREAT game! I never saw it back in the day, and just learned about it back in the early 2000's watching Starcade reruns. Now it's a favorite on my Mame cab. Ya, I didn't think of this until after I won it. Pretty cool! And I am also suprised it wasn't converted into a more popular game. This one has about 1000 plays on it and is serial # 566.

Like Smokey and the Bandit, this has a long way to go and a short time to get there! Last minute backers unite and help out The Video Craze: "Where were you in 82?" http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1198903728/the-video-craze-where-were-you-in-82

Thought I would post this latest pick up from last weekend's arcade auction in Anaheim, California. This is a pretty rare game from Centuri called Round Up. Paid $200 for it and glad to have it. Actually a pretty fun (but damn hard) game! Anyone here ever hear of or play this game back in the early 80's?

This one took me by surprise. Just listed today and according to the owner/seller, it does exhibit some differences from commercially available game. Check out the auction info right here. Penny to start and hidden reserve. http://www.gamegavel.com/reviews/2013/01/21/nes-final-fantasy-prototype-lands-on-gamegavel/

Get some popcorn and get ready to see if this Tetris Proto rises from it's current low bid of $1,250 to it's reserve . . . which isn't really all that far away! Get this for cheaper than you might think and throw in a bid! The auction ends in just about 3 Hours - 10PM Eastern, 7 Pacific. How high do you think it will go? http://www.gamegavel.com/item.cgi?show_item=0000715311

Hey All, We are proud to be hosting this auction for one of three known Tengen Prototypes in existance. This has a low starting bid and a conservative and very reachable reserve for those interested and in the market for an item like this. http://www.gamegavel...item=0000715311

Looking into this. Sorry that you are having issues. Anyone else?

Here is some early gameplay video taking place at Magfest. Everything not finalized in fact many changes have been added/refined as late as yesterday. We are on our 12th build of the game with a few more to go to get everything just right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuFPTqpB0HE

Just kicking off the promo's for an up and coming original Atari 2600 game based on a true story of events that happened in the RetroGamingRoundup booth at Classic Gaming Expo 2010. We, along with the programming wizards here on AtariAge (the creme de la creme) are working hard on having it all completed and for sale this summer. The game will be revealed in beta form this weekend at Magfest and will be playable there. More info about the game, the release date and initial quantities available will be forthcoming.

Ya, Mikie was pretty tough. lol. Another strange game from Konami This summer we are releasing our first original Atari 2600 game, CGE Adventures. This game is going to be playable (in beta form) at Magfest (at the RetroGamingRoundup booth) starting this evening and playable throughout the rest of the show. We have been working hard with the programming wizards here on AtariAge trying to make the greatest game we can centered around certain happenings at the 2010 Classic Gaming Expo! Should be available this summer at CGE (provided there is one). More details to follow.

At Magfest? Make sure to stop by the RetroGamingRoundup booth and play our up and coming original Atari 2600 Game - CGE Adventures! It will be released this summer at Classic Gaming Expo (provided there is one). Complete with box and manual.

Not sure if any of you have begged your K-Marts and Walmarts for one of these displays yet, but you should. You can just buy the remaining cars and ask if you could also have the display. That is what we did and it worked. Otherwise, wait until they are almost empty and talk to a store manager to get it when they are done with it. It can store up to 60 boxed Atari games! See pic:

Hey Curt, This hobby has been far better with you and your projects in it. Thank you or all you've done and will do in the years to come. Take care of yourself and get better soon!

Well,here is a cool new arrival to the collection that I thought you would like to see.

On that OTHER auction site I had to drop $450 for it but you don't see these come around to often. Seems about the going rate from what I've learned. It was an original owner robot, no yellowing and it had the Atari/Commodore software too. According to the original owner, used once and put in storage until now.

I've been looking for one of these FOREVER to add to my collection! Anyone else have or used one of these before? All I know it will be a great decoration to my home arcade, but I will be hooking it up to my C64 too!

Hey Everyone, GameGavel is proud to be helping friends and family of nightmare Tony, who passed away earlier this month from cancer. There will be some very rare and interesting items donated to these auctions throughout this week. All the money raised from these auctions will be donated to the American Cancer Society in Tony's name. Here is the tribute story and links to the Tony-A-Thon auction listings: http://www.gamegavel.com/reviews/2012/12/04/romstar-snk-veteran-passes-away-charity-auctions/ Keep an eye out this week as more items get added. Thank you, Mike, GG

Ending tonight bump.
