You couldnt find anything else to do in Myrtle Beach but hang out at a 7-11?? Dude thats sick. LoL
couldn't really find a decent arcade down there at the time
The arcade version was much more enjoyed than the NES version - Try it in MAME, it'll give you a giggle or two..
One... two.... threeeeeeeeeee! ding ding ding

If I'm sending anyone anything video game related, I make sure to stuff a handful of ziplock bags, perfectly sized for Atari carts in the box.. maybe the bags are just recirculating

My favorite was(and still is) Tag Team Wrestling
There was one cabinet at a 7-11 in Myrtle Beach, which I played way too many games during one fine spring break.. was right around the corner from the girl's house where I was staying..
Just can't describe the anxiety when one of the mad marauders would turn red - they would flip out and dash around the ring, if you couldn't contain them, you were pinned.. and another quarter was fed..

I would recommend not selling your collection..
- a) the hobby is littered with collectors who once sold them off and now regret doing so..
- b) If you plan on having kids - there's nothing better than sharing your old games with them and watching the enjoyment they get
I have plenty of basement room, if you like, I could store them for you, but the only rule is that I get to play with everything

I think it's a fun game with a bitchin' sound track..

People are nuts.
I think that pretty much sums it all up, doesn't it?

What if I declared a lesser value for an item, the item gets lost in transit and when I go make a claim because I took insurance, I'd be farked if I declared a value less than its worth, would I not?

Sounds interesting, indeed.. Just haven't had much gaming time on the PSP - I know my kid has been looking for something to play since finishing Hot Shot Golf.. I'll recommend this one.. maybe dear old dad will get a chance to play some

...so do one yourself...Get a small banquet room from a hotel, give yourself up to 3-6 months for advertising, hit all the people YOU know who are gamers, including some "flea market"guys, maybe see if the "chain" game shops want to come out.
...charge a small fee for the venders (for the tables), then charge the people coming in...if a hotel is out of the question, use a church, community center, fire hall, VFW....it works...

Exactly, I have a few thousand square feet at my disposal and have been thinking about at least throwing some sort of classic gaming event, be it a beer and gaming get together to a mini Philly Classic of sort..

This seems to be following in Metroid's wake..

I can imagine Bentley Bear running around that pyramid right now..
lets get cracking on that technology!

I'm interested, but waiting for my eyes to stop bleading so I can go back into that site and figure out the rating for which games I'd like. Also, I ditched my paypal account so would you be up for some old fashion bartering? Packaging supplies, by chance?
I can always fire up another paypal account if need be..

You knew it was coming, but it never hit me until last year when the new Halo2 maps were released 2 maps now, 2 maps in a few months and 2 more maps in the fall, all for free, like they promised OR you can get ALL the maps now, but you have to pay for each map after the first 2 free maps.. At that point I thought oh shit, batten down the hatches. Despite my kids' desperate pleas to get the new maps, even offering their own money, we stuck it out on principle..
I think the buy it now with cell phones are conditioning people to this.. It's all evolving this way.. I just hope there's some nasty backlash sometime down the road..

FYI - I would not recommend putting a valuable cartridge into a PAS (Pink Anti-Stat) polyethylene bag. They have a shelf life of about 6-9 months before the properties deteriorate. Also, some cheap film extruders use a pig fat(or sometimes vegetable fat) substance which can blossom out of the bag, making the bag "sticky", which could easily ruin the label or any manuals in contact with it.Use a static shielding bag, preferably ziplocked.. Yeah, it's a bit more expensive, but if you're looking to protect your investment, it's more than worth it..
I thought the bags Al sold through AA were the non-acidic, cart safe kind. That's what I use. I also don't keep manuals in the bags or with the games, I store them in seperate sheets - again, which I got from Al through AA.
The only bags I see in the store are these which look like general polyethylene bags, which are better than the PAS bags the guy in the auction has. I think the guy is using a PAS bag to protect the eprom from static charges, which I'm not aware has ever damage cartridges. If you want my expert opinion, I think it's more of a gimmick that would do more harm to the cartridge than good.
The premise of anti stat bags are to keep static charges away from electrical devices. Like I mentioned before, if that's your objective I'd go with a static shielding bag, which has layers of aluminum, polyester and coated polyethylene in between the layers of poly. Could be over kill I know, but for a grand, I guess you can't be too cautious.

I second the moronacy, and would gladly be interested in the review guide..

a pinball game with a "tilt" feature?
one of those wooden box and marble games where you tilt the box and have the marble go through a maze?
use it to swing a golf club?
or a baseball bat?
perfect for the PSP Mercury game..

I still have to get my vec-flash order in.. maybe this afternoon if things are slow..
Speaking of the buzz noise - I was expecting this after reading about its notoriety, and the one I just got hums when I turn the volume up pretty loud.. guess I lucked out with this one
fun system indeed - having a blast with it

Do people realize how easy it is to shrink wrap already opened games? Even the all elusive "line down the back"? For less than 50 bucks you can purchase the equipment and the material to shrink wrap hundreds, if not, thousands of games..

I think we learned from last game, that leaving you alone for awhile is NOT a good thing. Had to keep you in check this go around

gg guys..
once again, seems like timing is everything in this game.

Oh jeez, what's next, plug n' play Simon?
Weren't they making remakes of the handhelds like the originals?
So it plugs into a TV and you see red lcd lights on your TV? That's the attraction?

It's a nice feature, which is helpful for me. When I have a chance I like to check out the blogs, specifically the game related ones, and from time to time I forget that they are there for weeks on end. But it's always a nice treat when I remember.
This will keep me abreast of updated blogs.. and obviously if it's not a blog that I've taken a fancy to, I can just not click on it, just like undesirable posts that I don't click on..
