    Yeah that is the only one I keep finding online......I can't match mine to anything on the web............

    the holes in the case you have pictured are the same size (from what I can tell) as an 2600 cart.....my cases have 4 1/2" x 3 1/4" openings (just measured them) and an 2600 cart is 3 3/4" x 3 1/4" - so there is an extra 1" in height of opening......

    Been looking at accessories and saw a rapid fire adaptor, and then I thought "That seems like an easy build!" so I thought I'd look into making one myself. anyone know how to build one?

    You should have bought this........probably a whole lot easier than making a homemade one........

    While at the ArcadeExpo in Houston, I went out to the Gameover Games retail store in town and found 2 Atari Game Program cases. I was impressed how great shape they were in for being 25+ years old - no scratches, no cracks on spine or inside the plastic. Each one holds a total of 8 cartridges - 4 on the left and 4 on the right. I bought them and brought them home and inserted 2600 game cartridges into them, only to find out that the cartridges do not fit in them like they should. They do go into the plastic but with a little extra work. I've searched the net for similar ones like mine with no avail. The cases I find online all have the brown cover with the Atari logo in the lower right corner, but mine have a huge Atari logo in the center. The inside plastic (where the games snap in) is black instead of white as others are online, and the openings are more rectangle than square in shape.

     

    Anyone have any idea what program cases these were for? And how rare are they (since I can't find a similar one online)?

    well, i recently bought a vectrex pin on an ebay auction that came with a bunch of other pins. while the other ones are cool, but i mainly bid for this item. but i recently found out that they sold pins on atariage quite a few years ago. the thing is, the back if quite dirty, and if someone bought it from atariage i think they would have kept it in better condition.. although, the front is in pretty good condition. so im sort of confused. i will attach some pictures, but i was wondering if there is a way to tell if the pin if actually from 'back in the day' or from atariage, thanks.

    Matter of fact, that is an AtariAge "Vectrex" button circa 2003-2004, they were sold for $1.00 each.

    Here's the link to the AA page circa 2005 for the M Network button (same size - same price) and with my personal review for it too!

    Also, during the Houston Arcade Expo 2 weekends ago, I brought my buttons (Vectrex, M Network, Colecovision, and Intellivision) and invoice to show Albert from AA since I came across them before I left home for the expo. Thought it would be neat for Albert to see some of his items from 10 years ago. And I have never taken the buttons out of the original baggie too!

     

    I found the link for the Vectrex button too...............

    What was running on the 5200s?

    Like Robot2600 said, there was a bucket..... I put out as many 5200 carts as Albert had. As this was my first time ever to this show (and any arcade show like this) and can't wait for next years show!

    I had never seen a 5200 console, controller and cart in person......ever! (and 7800, Colecovision, Apple II - all brought to the show by AA) I tried Pac-Man, Sinistar, Super Pac-Man, Jungle Hunt, Joust (bad port), Donkey Kong, Tempest (using the trak-ball) , Dig Dug (thought it would have been better), Moon Patrol, Berzerk, etc

    I has pictures!

     

    I plan on giving these better captions and descriptions, but I wanted to throw them up quickly so people could see the good time had by all... and to show off my best Addams Family score EVAR! :D

     

    Big thanks to Albert for almost single-handedly bringing in the home console fun. I don't know how he does it, especially setting all that up by himself!

    me too!

    I'm thinking about making AtariAge member badges for the Portland Retro Gaming Show, with lanyards. If you want one, please send me your forum handle, name (optional) and location (optional), and I'll look into printing these in advance. Will also have some badges for people to fill in at the show.

    Will you do these for the Houston Arcade Expo too??

    I'll be attending the 2013 Houston Arcade Expo, taking place November 8th and 9th. Once again I'll be setting up a large AtariAge booth with a slew of classic gaming consoles (mostly Atari, but some others also) for attendees to enjoy. These systems have been very popular with people over the years, many of whom haven't seen an Atari 2600 since the 80s!

     

    Will anyone else from AtariAge be there? I can always use some help during setup and/or teardown. Looks like the show is getting an early start this year at noon on Friday, so I may arrive Thursday night to set things up.

     

    Look forward to seeing some of you there!

    I'll be there, just booked the hotel and car rental. It will be my first time to any type of expo like this, and have been wanting to go to one of these for a long time now. I'll be driving in from Baton Rouge thursday but don't know what time I'm getting there though.

     

    I was hoping you would have some of those Atari homebrew games for sale at the expo. I guess I'll get a chance to try them thru the Imagic kisoks then.
