  1. so is anyone left giftless?

     

    Several of us. Me included. And although I think it is great that my s.s. Person received their gift, I think those that back out should not be allowed to participate in future years. I find it highly doubtful that 4 gifts were "lost" in the mail.

     

    I am going to stop reading this thread now because it's a little too frustrating.

    • Like 1

    • Boxed Donkey Kong Includes Manual (crunched a bit)
    • Boxed Venture include Manual and Registration card... both in mint condition.
    • Boxed Zaxxon includes minty manual.

     

    The carts are in beautiful shape. Labels are perfect. As you can see in the pictures, the Zaxxon and Venture boxes are in great shape while the Donnkey Kong top has the normal use tears.

     

    All Three games $15 shipped.

  2. Kind of like 1977 all over again, will I get the correct Micronauts and Star Wars figures as detailed in my illustrated christmas list with retail store reference guide, or will I get more stupid Grand Moff Tarkins and fall-apart Acroyear IIs that mom found in the clearance bin????? Will **name deleted** enjoy the **awesome items deleted**

     

    Better than 1983 and getting left-over Skiff-Guards on clearance from Children's Palace.


  3. Welp, I decided if I'm not gettin' nuttin' for Christmas... I'm just gonna give more.

     

    I am sending out two packages. One today to someone I've not spoken with in 20 years... the other will go to a friend in WI tomorrow. Neither know they are getting anything. _THAT_ my friends--is the best part of being Secret Santa.


  4. Well seeing how people are opening their Secret Santa stuff early (good thing I checked this thread today, or I'd have waited!) I figured I'd open mine. So I did....and WOW!

     

    I'm not exactly sure who you are person from Golden Valley, MN (I'm pretty sure I've shipped stuff there before though), but thank you VERY much!!!

    Does that socketed intro skip include a switch to either skip the BIOS or not? Or is it just off all the time with the skip chip?


  6. I can see it being argued either way, but in the end, I see the 7800XM as an enabler of high-quality homebrews for the 7800 - in an age where the economy of scale won't absorb carts with additional hardware onboard.

     

    To add to that... there is nothing wrong with tacking "XM" onto the back of the game's name to validate that distinction. Maybe something like "Commando 7800XM" or "Commando XM." I agree entirely with your statement.


  7. Over the year, I have purchased some items and been comfortable sending my payments to several as a gift via paypal. Recently paypal thought it would be cool to just start charging me a fee for sending my payment as a gift. Has this ever happen to you?

     

    Well, to keep things legit and follow paypal rules...when sending a payment to another forum member and the total suggests 100 dollars. Just add 3% so your forum friend is not getting hit with a fee and everyone is happy.

     

    I think the fee is actually 2.9%, but here is a link icon_arrow.gif Calculator so you can make it exact if you are a perfection seeking individual.....

     

    They recently instated this new rule. If you haven't sent a gift in awhile get ready to pay...
