    'Ya done good, 'ya done good! Especially Daemons to Diamonds (lol) and your end labeless Video Pinball. In my two+ decades worth of collecting, I have never seen an Atari 2600 Video Pinball that did not have an end label. You should put that puppy up on eBay so you can go back and get more games from that poor chap at the mall before he goes out of business :(

     

    And love the bit about spending rent money on Atari games instead of paying bills.... lmao! Why do I have the sneaking suspicion we're going to see you and your home on that show 'Hoarders' soon? Or was all that stuff in the background part of a recent gaming haul? lol

     

    I'm just funnin' with 'ya buddy, but that video *was* a hoot. You could tell you were like a kid in a candy store - thanks for sharing!

     

     

    Thanks dude. lol

     

    I'm almost in a bad spot. I do have bills coming up that i don't have the money for, but i got some money still coming to me from 2 different people. But the money isn't in my hand yet so it does me no good. What i did was go overboard with tax money and bought almost every retro system i ever wanted. But it's like a drug and i spent too much money and have trouble stopping. Now i've gone past the tax money and into bill money. I will be trying to sell some stuff again. Hopefully not the Atari games i just bought lol. The stuff you seen in the background is both from a different unpacking video of mine and the fact i'm a slob lol. I try my best to be clean and organized but it so hard for me.

     

    I wish i could go back to that store today but it's not possible.

     

    Yep i'm IntellivisionDude, AtariLeaf. I came up with that name after i signed up here.

    Not sure if this also goes for the Intellivision. But recently i was having problems with a Colecovision Controller and someone said the spring inside can get a little worn and needs to be stretched a little so it is creating enough pressure again. I still have not got around to doing this myself. But i will soon.

    Just in case anybody is wondering, the ECS has to be plugged in (the adapter) to be used as a passthrough. When i unplugged the adapter, it won't read any games. Maybe people already knew that but i thought i'd share.

     

    But i have a question. I wonder if you could play those few Coleco games on your Intellivision II by using the ECS as a passthrough? I don't have any Coleco games to test with. It really don't matter since i have an Intellivision I now anyway. But was just curious anyway.

    Sucks to be you guys - USPS has always done a bangup job for me.

     

    UPS/FedEx on the other hand... putting phantom letters and digits in packages either sent by or meant to be recieved by me... yeesh. I could write for days as to how much they've messed with me over the years. :/

     

     

    Out of the hundreds of packages i have recieved in the last few years i'd say USPS is doing a good job. Very few mess ups. Just those games i lost and this package here. Only other time i have had real problems is a few years back when i bought some stuff from Columbia House and the SFBC. Packages either got lost in the mail or they never sent them to begin with. But i eventually got my stuff. Can't say it was the USPS fault for sure that time or not. Sometimes i think i should of got some packages sooner. But i usually get them eventually.

     

    I recommend not shipping Parcel Post unless your not in a hurry. I have read that it can take a few days to a month to receive. And make sure you write Fragile on the package and have the USPS stamp them as well. I have seen Postal Employees just toss the packages a few feet into a bin. :ponder:

    I just bought a pair of Intellivision II controllers off the same guy yesterday, so i guess it will be a while before i get mine as well. I owned a set of those Joystick add-ons (or ones that look identical) when i was a kid. I thought they were cool but didn't respond well. I also just bought the Stickler ones from Atari2600.com and i didn't like those either.

     

    This is the second time in a month i have bought Intellivision stuff off someone from Venezuela. It said 25 business days. It's only been 21 regular days so far. Still waiting.

    I too would have to say Beauty and the Beast for the same reason as rgw825 mentioned: it's what I grew up with. Kind of a cool little DK ripoff that's easy to get into and zone out with.

     

     

    I used to get a kick out of going all the way to the top of the first building and then falling to my death. The fall seems like it takes forever lol.

    I got my ECS today, and here is a video of me unboxing it. Can anybody tell me what i may be missing (besides the adapter) and what else i may need to actually play any games with it. And can i just test it with any old game? What you see in the video is what came with it. What kind of cord do i need for the AUX port? Or is it even necessary?
