      miser.com is a sight for poor guys.

      A miser is one who hoards money, not one who is poor.

      Anyway, to continue: glasses.com is a sight for four-eyes.

      Hey, it's open mic night at the AA Forums!

       

      Speaking of AA (not Atari Age)...

       

      Why is it called Acoholic's ANONYMOUS? Everyone tells you their name as soon as they standup...and the group immediately replies by naming the person.

    3. Franko ATARI

      Franko ATARI

      ...and what better way to remain ANONYMOUS, by telling your most horrific experiences and memories to a room full of drunks?

  6. Since there's a post office, shouldn't there be a pre office?

      Congrats! And yeah I didn't know there was a Mortal Kombat 8!! (Mario Kart? I Never would have thought of that)...

      Aren't these people a little old to be riding skateboards?

    4. Eltigro

      Eltigro

      Nah, they make pretty good money at it, and sell boards and parts and have some excellent instructional videos. Also, be careful, as someone might say, "Aren't these people a little old to be playing video games?"

  10. Looking at AC Adapters for SMS/Genesis model 1... originals were 1 and 1.2 amp, but some of these new ones are as low as 350 mA... how much does it matter? Will low amperage ones just burn out faster (from what I've read online)?

    1. _The Doctor__

      _The Doctor__

      severely under supply can brown out and hurt your unit and yes the new adapter can burn up

    2. save2600

      save2600

      Then you have carts like Virtua Racing and Everdrives which take even more power. I wouldn't chance it. I'd stick with the original amperage ratings or better.

    3. LS650

      LS650

      Get the proper power supply. I'd rather buy a used working name brand off of eBay than one of these craptacular knock-offs.

  11. Got the 7805 replaced on the SMS I got from Goodwill and it fired right up. Works great!

      It's a great feeling to get a dead console working again :)

    3. Eltigro

      Eltigro

      Jass, from what I've seen, 90% of the time if your Master System is getting no power, it's because someone put the wrong AC Adapter in it and blew that 7805 voltage regulator. Got a SMS from Goodwill that was DOA, replaced it and it's running perfect. (Had a little trouble with the channel select switch, but it seems to be working fine now.) Only thing I can't test is the card slot as I have no card games.

    4. Eltigro

      Eltigro

      Ans they're cheap, too. You can get like 10 of them for a dollar.

  12. Saw this on Facebook and thought it might be fun here. You wake up and you're in the last video game you played. It is now your life. Where are you? I'm a wizard running around with a lantern nosed fairy with a Scottish accent.

  14. Just became the new owner of a Game Wave. Yeah... I had to look it up, too... No idea if it works, probably wouldn't play it if it did.

      some of the quiz and puzzle titles aren't terrible. When I left the Navy, I didn't care enough about it to remove it from the watch station. I bet it's still just sitting there, since the base closed down and I can't imagine anybody wanting it. If I ever get back to that building I'll look for it.

      Why do companies even bother making systems like this...lol

    3. Eltigro

      Eltigro

      It was in a lot of random stuff I got for cheap on Goodwill's auction site. I bid on it for the Master System and Game Gear that were in it, but also got the Game Wave, some leapster stuff, some Skylanders things, a PC game, and a broken N64 controller. Game wave has no games or controllers.

  15. Have you played Atari (on the train) today? https://i.imgur.com/GotP7fJ.jpg

      Classic! Took mine to the doctor's office yesterday.

  16. Going on a little trip tomorrow... gotta make sure my Atari Flashback Portable is all charged up!

  17. OG Xbox clock capacitor... anyone here take theirs out?

    1. Jess Ragan

      Didn't need to. They fixed the problem in 2004 and newer models.

    2. Eltigro

      Eltigro

      Yeah... I'm not so lucky. Had one opened up that I'm replacing the power supply board on and went ahead and took the dvd drive out to look... yep... it was leaking... gonna check my original one I've had since new to see the version and see if I need to do surgery on it.

       

    3. Eltigro

      Eltigro

      Looks like the one I've had since new was manufactured in October of 2004, so it should be good, right?

  18. Thought about getting a six pack of Miller High Life and making a Facebook post saying that, since I couldn't afford real Champagne, I had to get the "Champagne of Beers"... but then I'd be stuck with a six pack of Miller High Life...

      My friend at the liquor store said Miller is the only beer that doesn't go bad (Even in a clear bottle) thanks to its genetically modified yeast.

  19. Has anyone started a "What did you get for Christmas?" thread? I didn't get much, but I like seeing what all of you got.

  21. Was having trouble with light guns not registering hits until I turned the brightness all the way up. Is it time for a "new" CRT?

      Eltigro

      Ha! Figured someone would see through my ruse! But seriously, it wouldn't register even with the tip of the phaser on the TV screen on the target. Same problem with light guns for SMS, NES, and Saturn. Turned brightness to 100% (was at about 75%) and starts working perfectly.

    3. jaybird3rd

      I wish there was such a thing as a "new" CRT, but I don't think they're being made anymore.

    4. Eltigro

      Eltigro

      Well yeah, but wondering if having to crank up the brightness is a sign that mine is going to crap out soon...
