    In the opening scene of the "Furley vs. Furley" episode of "Three's Company", which just aired on TV Land, Jack and Janet are playing Atari 2600! The console is clearly sitting on the coffeetable. They each have the iconic 2600 joystick. They are playing some footbal sports game, maybe fictious? Talk about double memory flashback... Atari and Three's Company!

    i also found an 'rf modulator' at radio shack, although i'm not sure if it's bi-directional.

     

    well, maybe i can find an engineering friend to solder one up for me... :D

     

    thanks for the tip on the second vcr, bjk. that sounds easy enough.

    yes, exactly. :) see, i knew i'd get a fast response on atariage.

     

    but $45 for it?? geez. maybe i'll stick with the old tv/console switch.

     

    any thoughts on this issue guys? what do atari agers use? :ponder:

    Hi everyone. I want to hook up my 2600 to my new TV. I know I could do it with the good old tv/console RF switch and RF adapter, but is there a hardware unit to use the video in plugs instead of the coaxial cable adapter?? thanks!

    haven't you been to walmart recently?

     

    in honor of the 30th anniversary of the atari 2600, all cartridge manufacturers are selling their MIB leftovers for $1.99 brand new vintage!!! better hurry!!!

     

    just kidding.... :D

     

    i wish it were true.... :(

    something similar happened to me...

     

    i got a MIB atari 2600 from a non-atari seller. she was selling a bunch of random junk from her basement. it even had original bubble wrap.

     

    i thought about requesting a specific type of shipping package. i thought it would be pretty obvious though--just wrap something around the original box.

     

    WELL, she finds another box and stuffs everything inside it. that was fine for the console, joysticks, etc. BUT THEN SHE FOLDS THE ORIGINAL BOX SEVERAL TIMES and stuffs it in the box. IT NOW HAS CREASE MARKS ALL OVER IT! :?: :?: :x :sad: :arrow: :| :) oh well, at least a crease is better than priority mail tape and postage!

    I just saw the Felicity tv show episode "Crash." One of the characters gets a playstation and spends lots of time playing video games instead of studying. When a girl asks him about it, he mentions early videogames--Atari with stick figure basketball, then Nintendo with Super Mario Bros.

    i just got this email about two weeks after the auction closed :?: :?: :?:

     

    hi! i send off dozens of ebay payments weekly so you should get your payment soon.

    sorry if i didn't contact you, it might have slipped my mind?

     but the payment didn't!

    once again don't worry and i apologize for not contacting you.

    no need to file a complaint.(view my feedback it doesn't lie)

     let me know that you got this e-mail.

     

    oh well..............................

    yes, right now i believe you can only leave feedback when a transaction takes place. apparently in the early days of ebay, you could leave feedback for anyone for any reason.

     

    i thought you could only leave feedback for 30 days, but this quote from ebay doesn't help much

     

    Note:

    Always leave feedback within 90 days after the end of the listing. After 90 days, the item may be removed from eBay, and you'll no longer be able to leave feedback.

     

    i had planned to "snipe neg feedback" but who knows with this quote.

     

    the npb has 30ish feedback and all positive, so i don't know...

    "It took almost twenty years, but on July 3, 1999 for the first time ever, a perfect score of 3,333,360 was achieved on Pac-Man by Billy Mitchell at the Funspot Family Fun Center, Weirs Beach, New Hampshire. To achieve this, Billy had to eat every single bonus prize and every possible blue ghost in all 256 levels of the game - a feat which took him over six hours to complete. Not only that but he didn't lose a single life. It was the first ever perfect game of Pac-Man."

    wow. that's amazing.

     

    btw, did you guys see the photo of the guy on that site? it looks like it's from the 1970s... :D

    this store sounds like the dream fantasy of every vintage video game collector! omg.

     

    i have found a couple of stores that have smaller collections of atari stuff. the owner of one flea market store in rhode island said that an entire wall of 2600 cartridges (500+) about 5 years ago. wow! i picked up a complete 2600 system and 50 games for $40.

     

    maybe someday soon i'll find a dream store like gunstar's store.
