      Won, as in free? Won, as in auction?

      Won, as in wrestling a monkey?

      Thanks guys! BTW, it was a contest they were holding. I'm still in shock that I won.

    Reading old Christmas catalogs on the internet, drinking cocoa and waiting for the family to arrive so that we can have a nice big meal. Merry Christmas Atari Age!

    This is really interesting. I had assumed that the white label carts were just from store displays. Something valueless but still kinda cool to own. I believe the other two carts I have in my collection are Time Pilot and Cosmic Avenger. Now I'm determined to dig them up. Recently I moved back to my home state and I've been reunited with my childhood retro gaming collection, all of which was still tucked away up in my mom's attic for the past several years. I'm finding all sorts of weird stuff that I do not recognize.

    But why the plain white label? And why a Euro cart shell in the US? Was this common?

    Recently I've been visiting my home state of New York and rummaging some of my old gaming collectibles. That's when I discovered this unusual white label ColecoVision Smurf game. I know that other white label carts have been discovered in the past. However what struck me about this cart was the unusual shape. Does anyone know anything about it? I actually have a couple of different ColecoVision carts like this one. Unfortunately I can't find the others at the moment. I'm sure they'll turn up. In the 30 plus years that I've been a collector I've never sold anything, much to the dismay of my family, my girlfriend and our cat. These carts were sold to me by a guy who worked in an old flea market in Schenectady, NY. Back then I was buying used games for around 50 cents to $1 each. Anyway, I thought I would show this to you folks in case you find it interesting.

    I just want to thank McWill for the AMAZING work he did on my Atari Lynx II. I had seen many YouTube videos showing the upgrade, but you really don't realize how stunning it truly is until you see it in person. Wow! It's like a brand new machine. I also want to say that he was a great guy to work with. He always responded to my messages very quickly, he answered all of my questions, and he was polite and courteous through the whole process. Best of all, when my Lynx came back from Germany it was extremely well packed for the long journey. I couldn't ask for a better experience. I've been happily playing my upgraded Lynx for days. I really can't put it down! Thanks again McWill!
  10. Dr Manhattan
    Wow! This game is incredible! Thank you very much for making this available for free. It's like an early Christmas present. On a side note, I am constantly amazed by the incredibly high quality of many Atari 2600 homebrew games. They're as good, if not better, than most of the games we had back in the day.

      I'll take one of each haha...I just wish they listed actual price, and controller info for each, i.e. NES Classic comes with 1 controller, Analogue Super NT the controller is sold separately...Is RetroN 77 really only $40? Also a shame The HD Genesis doesn't support 3 button controllers only 6.

      And how many work with Everdrives?

    I'm very happy to say that our next collectible arcade token will feature one of the most popular video game characters in the world! Fully licensed and legal too, lol! Here's a hint. He's blue.

    Is anyone still making and selling cases for the Atari Harmony Cart? I would really like to buy one.

    Justice League > Thor. Both great movies, one is just better than the other.

      Wow! And I loved Thor Ragnarok! I'll Probably check it out this week or next...

    Hey Everyone, please do me a favor and take a look at these two different table top arcade machines and tell me what you think. I'll post the links in the reply to this comment. Thanks in advance.

      I like the 4X3 a lot better myself. 12 inches though? Are these minis? Shipping seems pretty high on the second one...The Green NeoGeo look is sweet!

      I like the aesthetics of the first one the best. They totally ripped off the design of the Porta-Pi from Retro Built Games but they did a nice job of it.

      They're cute but they seem expensive to me. Unless you're hung up on having a little one-player cabinet, I would get the big 2p arcade panel with lots of games inside, bring your own screen. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Pandora-Box-4s-815-Games-in-1-Arcade-Console-Slim-Acrylic-Surface-2P-Joystick-FightStick-Arcade/32822624271.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_4_10152_10065_10151_10068_10130_10344_10345_10547_10342_10343_10546_10340_10341_10548_10545_10541_10307_10060_101...

    I saw a Werewolf drinking a Pina Colada at Trader Vic's. Honestly, his hair didn't look all that good.

    Watching Bob Ross on Create on a rainy day. Drinking a nice warm cup of cocoa. I've never felt so mellow. This man is literally therapeutic.

    I think we can all agree that Jerry Rice & Nitus' Dog Football is easily one of the best video games ever made.

    1. Skippy B. Coyote

      One of the best concepts for sure, but the execution did leave a lot to be desired. Still, it's a pretty whacky game even by Wii standards.

    I created a friendless Facebook account because I just wanted to participate in groups and follow a few pages. Now Facebook is trying to block my news feed until I get at least one friend.

    No eBay seller, I am not paying $100 for your copy of ALF on the Sega Master System. You need to come down on that price.

      Whoa! The only game I know of that is that expensive (for SMS) is the rare post-phs2 Phanatasy Star package variant with manual!
