FINALLY MY CHANCE TO DISCUSS DIGITPRESS/COM
I was a fond member of the digitpress forums right along side of the atariage at one time. i found my need to fit into a community of avid gamers and collectors alike on both sites until this one fatal day.
I think it was a balmy 42 degrees outside and the wind was ferociuosly blowing as the digitpress forums had asked for some of my ps2 expertise in completing their ps2 site collectors list. (I have variations and case msitakes never before shared) I calmly agreed to share my ps2 knowledge and pictures of my very own collection with the site, until some adolescent decided to knock my pics and say they were not legitamit. I then decided to keep my pics from photobucket for myself and strayed away from the digitpress community only to return on another day in the future.....
Well, the future came and I posted a forum reguarding a recall on xbox power supplies for their wireless racing wheels. this came as a surprise to their many xbox followers and they shunned me for suggesting that the Microsoft systems could have any flaws whatsoever.
To sum this all up, I do believe I have the most complete ps2 collection possible to date and only lack possibly 100 titles or so with an avid collection of ps2 demos and variations. I jumped from 2600 to ps2 back to nes complete and still follow ps2 closely.
Digitpress for myself is a site I no longer visit and wish they were more accepting of others that are not the imediate insiders..... I have pics of items they have never posted before and could help in their ps2 data base quite extensively...
For now...

CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!
Who is waiting for what on the Wii to come out?
Well, I might be the wrong person to ask that question, but here is my outlook on upcoming games for the Wii.
Kid Icarus needs a comeback. Mario tennis was a joke when it came out being the same release as the cube but with wii controls. Donkey Kong Country was amazing. Barrel Blast? are you kidding me? Whats next?
Let's remake some more DS titles and put them on the Wii. Wait??>":"?>???
Are we making games for gamers or just trying to find the most upsurd way to play something with lame graphics possible?
The Wii has missed the gaming band wagon with only a hand full of games that actual gamers will play...
Lets point click and wii zap our way out of Nintendo until they make another system that hard core gamers are gonna play....sorry...

I like the 7800 a lot. It's fun to imagine what it could have done without a two year shelf life and with full developer support. That would have gave the Jaguar better legs to stand on as well. For what it's worth, it's good that at least Microsoft is in the game now so we have an American console. I have nothing against Japanese consoles mind you, it's just cool to have the USA in the running again.I had big hopes for MS and the console thing but they are just more of the same.
I do think the 360 has so far outshined the PS3 in a lot of ways. Clearly the PS3
has serious potential but it too suffers from the same fate the Jag did:
Insufficient development tools. Sony however has the money to correct this and I m sure
has gone a long way to do so since its release. Atari did not have this luxury and had a
couple of unrealistically over confident people in control at the time of the 7800 and the Jaguar.
The 7800 is screaming with potential as is the Jaguar. Time is necessary to do justice on the Jag.
The 7800 just needs a bit more and it could dominate the after market console arena. The MARIA
is a great chip and just needs a bit more RAM to beable to pull off some seriously nice gfx.
*There has been some small talk in this thread that leads into the new era of video game consoles that might need to be talked about alittle...not much but maybe a little..
Microsoft is american, true, but the verdict is split between gamers as to whether or not it is better than Sony im sure.
*Plenty of talk about the 7800 playing 2600 games comes up in this thread...
Take Sony's ps3 60 gig and mention all the games that this console will play. Being able to play nearly every ps1 and ps2 title makes this system capable of playing more great games than microsoft ever released on either of its 2 consoles...not to mention there are more people that seak out and collect ps1 and ps2 than any microsoft games....
"If I could only have one system hooked up to my television of the newer era it would be the ps3 for several reaons!"
as for the classic systems, I have collected the 7800 titles. I have all of the us released titles and picked up some oddities boxed such as Save Mary, Klas, Pit Fighter, the Programming kit with manual and a couple others, but my favorite would be CENTIPEDE.... I loved it in the arcade and love the speed at which it runs on the 7800. I also enjoy the similarities between Asteroids and the classic arcade machine. The speed of the 7800 and the arcade like game play make the 7800 definately worth keeping around for years to come....
I have a factory sealed jaguar and a looose jag, but have yet to spend time with it other than when i was a kid in the 90's
I find collecting for the 2600 was very enjoyable, but how many copies of combat can one person find in the wild before they get lucky and find a chase the chuckwagon. I have over 3000 carts for the 2600 and no where close to having them all. Not including homebrews. I have every release for the 7800 not including protos and home brews, but enjoyed collecting 2600 for many years
-
I recently got a 7800 and I honestly like it. What's disappointing though is the minuscule library written for the 7800 (and for the Colecovision as well). I love the fact that I can pop a 2600 cart without having to hookup the 2600 console itself or plug in some expansion module. This is a plus over the Colecovision.I enjoy playing Centipede in Team mode. My son and I love it. Joust is good as well.
If you are spending time playing games on your colecovision, please pick up the expansion atari port for the system. this allows you to play the 2600 games on it and makes your system feel as if it has a new life to it. we could go in to the lawsuits later, but for now if you enjoy the coleco controller you can enjoy playing 2600 games on the system as well.
hope this is new info for ya..

De Blob ********SOLD*******************

How much for the Mario 64?PM'D
-
CALL ME STUPID, but I can really play pac-man with this thing?Yes, but let us know how it works!

No intensions on hooking this up to play pac-man. Sorry!
But, I have played and tested this item. It works great as great can be.....
Ive put it back in the vault to be stored out of site for quite some time into the future....
I was really wondering with this posting if anyone else has any harder to find note worthy items such as the joy board. Whats the best looking joy board out there?
Also I have the Back to school pak boxed complete in excellent shape for 30 years old.....Does anyone have this item?
-
This is the one and ONLY thing I sold back "in the day" from my Atari collection. I remember getting it new, not being very good at the game, and selling it at a yard sale. Minty in box...as minty as something you stand on could be.Very nice shape on that one. Hard to find all assembled and in good shape. Well done. Now, can you play Pac Man very well with it?

CN
Never tried to play anything other than Mogul maniac with the Joyboard......
CALL ME STUPID, but I can really play pac-man with this thing?
thanks for the heads up!

How well does it play.....Well this one in particular is in incredible shape so it plays like new, but I dont think that is what you mean. The joyboard plays very precise for its time. I would even say it has been compared to the Wii Fit balance board for the Nintendo Wii. Similiar technology, but very different.
The joy board take talent to be able to balance while playing the game. To play Mogul Maniac, the player would plug a joystick into the joyboard and then lean to the left, right front or back to control the skiing player.
Fun level might be like a 2 out of 10, but this pic was just posted to see if anyone else out there has one like it or not....
If so, please post your pics here, if not, feel free to post any atari pics of complete or hard to find items here. I also have the wireless atari controllers boxed and the atari racing accessory boxed....pics to come when i get a moment free from work...

enjoy...
