  1. I have been giving the daunting, if not impossible task of summarizing the entire ET landfill legend in only a few sentences. How can I do it?

    1. MAC-42

      MAC-42

      Atari overproduced a number of pieces of hardware and software and needed to dispose of them. (I believe that to be correct, but please amend if not.) Allegedly included in this was a vast collection carts of the ET game that some say brought down Atari, though this is a gross distortion of the facts. The carts were purportedly taken to Alamogordo, NM, and buried in a landfill there, though this has never been proven.

       

      My daughter was up half the night, so this was the best I cou...

  2. I am currently searching for two rare portable game systems. One is called the MD Max and the other is the MD Max 350. I am willing to purchase these items ASAP. If you have one you want to sell or know someone who does please contact me ASAP. Thanks.

  3. Took the neices and nephews to see the Lego Movie. Everyone got a free minifigure, including me! A great time was had by all.

  4. Flappy Bird has produced more profit than all three next gen consoles combined. Scary isn't it?

      Market research: "Hey, Floppy Bird made money and Angry Birds made money, so let's do a Bird game!"

      Scary..? More like hilarious! A very simple game that can be replicated on old 8-bit systems outplays the latest videogame extravaganza.

      There's a 3rd next-gen console?

  6. It appears the Neo Geo X has been hacked, jailbroken, etc. There is even an SD Card Adapter available for the system. http://neogeox.proboards.com/

      Knew it be hacked for a while but that SD card option that's a new one.

    2. OldSchoolRetroGamer

      OldSchoolRetroGamer

      @Classic Pac that is not new either, where you been looking? Anyway regardless between getting the system, Sd card adaptor etc, might as well just use a Dingoo handheld and run NEO GEO and tons of other emulators to boot.

    3. Amstari

      Amstari

      If you get a Dingoo make sure it is the A320. Even though there are some with better specs they aren't the original and the emulators aren't as good.

  8. Do you consider Pac-Man to be a mascot character like Mario, Sonic and Crash Bandicoot?

      copper20

      Mascot for Atari? That's easily Pitfall Harry.

      Seems like the average joe thinks of Atari or at least says Atari when talking about Pac Man

      Evidently Namco does! (Real shame about that dumb cartoon, though. No, the new one.)

  9. How many different Atari 2600 clones were produced? I only know of Gemini, Sears, and Columbia. Any other clones that could play 2600 carts? (No Flashback or P&P systems)

  10. I've got three words for you... ROYAL CROWN COLA!

  11. Spent the weekend introducing some of my younger relatives to the Atari 2600. A great time was had by all!

    1. Dr Manhattan

      Dr Manhattan

      Pitfall, Combat, Super Breakout, Adventure, Haunted House and Space Rocks, just to name a few. They really seemed to love the paddle games. It was a new experience for them. I also showed them Princess Rescue and my niece went completely bananas. She really loved it.

    2. Atarian7

      Atarian7

      Cool. I haven't ordered any homebrews in a long time so I don't have Princess Rescue or Space Rocks.

    3. DoctorTom

      DoctorTom

      Adventure and Space Rocks are both great. Well done. My kids love the 2600 too. Unfortunately, my nephews and niece are less interested.

  15. I have Pac-Man fever. It's driving me crazy.

      Thinking of the arcade pacman always time-travels me back to the +/- 6-year old me, staringing at the higher-res-than-at-home arcade version.

  16. That new Pac-Man animated show is the stuff of nightmares.

      Can't figure out why Disney would put this on, yet cancel Tron: Uprising. Must be getting kickbacks from Namco.

      Wha!? they made a new Pacman cartoon?!

  17. Tokens were mailed this week. Longest and most exhausting mailing ever. Prize winners will be picked and contacted next week. Check your inbox!

  18. This place is going to be crawling with zombies.

    1. NE146

      NE146

      Everyone talks of zombies.. but zombies aren't real. I submit to you gentleman something truly frightening because it can indeed happen: Is there anything more terrifying than being alone in the open ocean... and hearing the growl of a shark behind you

      Do zombies like candy?
