    Well damn, man. I've a spare one. Would you like with or without orange stripe? Just bear in mind, I haven't been doing well at all mobility-wise lately (I'll need a friend to help me with getting to/from the post office and such). I can still provide, though. I'll probably need to scrounge for a replacement power brick.

    It doesn't matter just so long as it's an INTV II and it works. I don't need a power supply as I have one I can use.

     

    I could use a power supply for one, and the two basic 0-9 keypad overlays. :)

    Thanks for the tip.I'll do just tha. :)

    Some cool cats over there.

    Yeah they are, pretty smart ones too.

     

    I really miss the old days of computer shows when folks from all the different brand computers would show off their warez and show case how they could squeeze that lat bit of RAM to get some amazing demos to play.

    Now all you see is the same old lame ass Windows boxes and Linux spazes throwing poop at each other like monkeys in a cage. :rolling:

    Hello all,

    I've been on a roll finding Commodore 64/128 and Amiga stuff this year, 2 128D, 2 A-500, printers, monitors, drives, etc.

     

    I have also been hearing from a few old school gamers who are still hanging on to their first computers.

    Been thinking of getting together a local group of enthusiasts from various disciplines in the old computing scene and maybe having local meetings to show off, get back in touch with, and maybe even get kids into the hobby.

     

    Anyone in the greater Dayton, Oh interested? PM me!

    I would guess you definitely need a lot. Maybe even bunch. I doubt you'll need a shitload though.

     

    I don't know about that, depends on the finished product. This project could even surpass a shitload and verge on a whole mother fuc*ing lot of them. :rolling:

    I am very young compared to most people here. No need to point such things out.

     

    I was in Kindergarden in 1994-95. I remember the computer lab was run by a friend of mine (at the time)'s father, who had installed a LAN space combat game on every machine. He would allow a group of us to go in after school and dogfight. As far as I remember, this was my first exposure to multiplayer gaming.

     

     

    My memories are insanely fuzzy (try to remember kindergarden for a moment), but this is what I remember:

     

    It was a black and white game. I don't think we were playing on monochrome monitors, but it is possible. I do know that our computer lab wasn't anywhere near top-of-the-line.

     

    Each player had health, shields, and fuel to worry about. There were powerups to refill these stats. I *think* killing an enemy gave you more fuel.

     

    I definitely remember a cloaking item, which was the most coveted item in the game. Would render your ship completely invisible.

     

     

    I had lost this memory to the depths of time, until I recently laid eyes on Vectorbeam's Computer Space. Memories came flooding back, I had played Computer Space, just an updated and LAN-multiplayer version of it. I remember being blown away, looking at a friend's screen and watching my own ship fly around.

     

    Sorry this is incredibly vague. If you have any ideas, they would be much appreciated.

     

    Perhaps it was Spacewar.

    The album in your hands, Quiet Riot or the Go-Go's? :rolling:

    Hahahaha! Not the greatest pic obviously, but I believe it's the only one I have wearing the Phar-Mor shirt. lol

     

    Hmm... that album, seeing how it's on an old Warner Brothers label... I'd guess Doobie Brothers or Fleetwood Mac. Although I had both 'Beauty and the Beat' AND 'Metal Health' back in the day. :)

     

    Well if we are confessing, I still have both on vinyl and listen to them regularly. In face most weekends the kids come over and we play records from the 70's and 80's and play Uno®.

     

    Good times!

    Might be looking at one of those Sega Dreamcast store displays, the one with the built in monitor and the arms with the controllers attached. Any idea what the value is?

     

    From the looks of it, its complete with a Dreamcast and two controllers, and its supposed to be fully functional.

     

    I saw one for the Xbox at a local flea market a few months back, asking price was $250.

    It did not have the Xbox, but it did have a Microsoft branded 27" TV. In real nice condition.

     

    I'd say somewhere $200.00 to $300.00, but that's what I'd pay for it not necessarily what it's really worth. :D

    Today was a nice productive trip to a couple of local fleas.

     

    1st place I picked up Tetris Plus CIB for the Playstation, $2.00.

    Also got God of War, Risk, and Hereos of the Pacific for the PS2, $5 for the lot.

    Finally found Star Tropics II: Zoda's Revenge for $2.00.

     

    2nd place I bought a box full of Genesis "stuff" for $5.00. It has 8 common games, a 6 button controller, two 3 controllers, and a 6 button turbo controller. Also in the box is 3 power supplies, and one video cable.

    The best deal of the day was an Intellivision II with six games for $5.00 No power supply of video cable but thaose are plentiful.

     

    Hope everyone else had a good weekend!

    24 for warriors? is it really worth that?

    To me it is. :)

    It's on par what I've seen them sell for in this condition factoring in shipping.

     

    Great game. I got mine off of ebay for under 10 shipped... but, then again, it supposedly had a ripped label. It showed up unripped and shiny, anyway. I love me some AD&D and sega genesis and they're two great flavors that... combine imperfectly, but with a certain compelling quality.

    You got a good deal. It's nice when they show up better than advertised or expected. :-)
