      Crazy huh?  I wasn't involved for a while, though I sometimes checked it out (earlier)...But I can't believe I've been here 5 years already.

  2. Found this blast from the past today:

      Surface-Mount resistor. Can't tell the specs from that pic though, and my six-button controllers are long-gone.

  4. Ah. The old days of looking up Atari 2600 rarities: http://i.imgur.com/1McFdmu.jpg

  5. What kind of grease/lubricant is recommended for moving parts in a disk drive?

      I would use a plastic-safe grease. Super Lube Synthetic Grease is good to have on hand.

      @yarjr: "This video is not available in your country." Why not America?!

      You could also use it for the colecovision if you had a keypad and wanted to use an atari joystick (I think)

      Bryan - LOL - the 300 baud modem BBS pirating scene - I went back in time for a sec to 1982 - awesome. Thanks!

      No, just working on creating a JRPG style game for PC.

       

      Would you believe that I never did get that Generation NEX from your contest - since Messiah went out of business (?), I guess I'll never get it now.

  13. I found some old Atari2600nexus rarity lists I printed back in '99 and '00

  14. Oh, Power Lords... Will I ever own you and complete my set?
