  1. I need a new power supply for my Atari 2600. Can anyone point me to a reliable seller? Thanks.

  2. Now that it’s been out for a while I can finally speak the truth. Bumblebee is a soft reboot of E.T.

    1. CPUWIZ

      CPUWIZ

      I thought it was Herbie. :(

  3. From director M. Night Shyamalan, the man that brought you Signs and The Village comes his latest epic, The Happening 2: What’s Happening Now. Starring Ernest Thomas, Fred Berry and Haywood Jablome Nelson.

      @jaybird3rd: Just like Tarantino. The man who single-handedly brought John Travolta back into our lives.

      It was Ok, better then "The Happening"

      Not sure if Bird Box can be a ripoff of "A Quiet Place" since Bird Box is based off of a book that was written 5 years ago....

      Oh...Just what someone said...I liked The Happening (Not saying it was perfect...but I like some imperfect movies..It's all good!), so if it was Better...Maybe I better check it out!

  5. I’m just gonna say it. I love garlic pickles. They’re delicious. I don’t care who knows. Wanna fight about it?

      As an added bonus, eating garlic pickles keeps vampires away.

      Garlic Pickles? Fighting you say? Look up "Sucker Punch Pickles".

  6. A tuxedo cat named Felix showed up at my house. Said he collecting for Unicef. 900 dollary-doos? I ain’t fightin’ no union!

  7. Everybody was kung-fu fighting, that is until someone called the cops and they broke up the whole affair. After that point we were forced to return to our homes in funky Chinatown, which is about a mile west of regular Chinatown.

  8. I’m looking at vintage Smurfs on eBay. No one must know my terrible secret.

      I was totally tempted by the Ralph Breaks The Internet toys at McDonald's and the 1Up mini arcade machines at Walmart. Please don't tell anyone I was in McDonalds or Walmart.

      I saw a Pac-Man mini arcade machine at Walmart today... looks nice, but quality wise, I know better. Besides, I actually own a real Pac-Man upright. :P

      Haha... I'm right there with you... But don't worry, even tho my kids have a few Smurfs, my bids are on stuff in the vintage Sesame Street, GloFriend and Peanuts categories. :)

  9. 2600 homebrew showdown. Scramble VS Super Cobra? If you could choose only one?

      Nathan Strum

      Ouch - tough choice. Arcade-wise I've always preferred Scramble, because the arcade version of Super Cobra was insanely difficult.

       

      But with the difficulty options John added, his version of Super Cobra can be enjoyed without the arcade version's insane brutality.

       

      Plus... there's an Easter Egg in Super Cobra that lets you play using the Scramble ship...

       

      But I'll still go with Scramble, because Dave Dries' artwork is way cooler than mine. :)

      Depends on what day it is I suppose...Hmmm...today I'll say Scramble.

      The original vs. the sequel? Hard to say...

  10. The reason the sailor never came back to visit Brandy, even though she was a fine girl, is because he and his entire crew were eaten by the Kraken.

      There's a port on a servers gateway

      And it serves a hundred IPs a day

      Lonely gamers pass the time away

      And Fallout 76 wrecks their hopes

       

      And there's a girl logging in now

      And she should be saving: the latency growing

      They say "Brandy, fetch more atoms!"

      She serves them currency and whines

      I cancel it all the time...every year or so get it on again, cancel after a month or two, rinse/repeat

      I find that I'll go a month or two without watching it - and then they'll suddenly drop two or three series I really enjoy.

  15. I've just about had it with the way Apple does things and for the first time in years I'm considering dumping my iPhone. Unfortunately my only other options is the dreaded Android OS. Yuck! I can't win either way.

      It was years ago, but I used iSyncr once to bring over a bunch of Christmas music from an iTunes playlist for an event. I love Apple/iOS phones, but it's a bummer they don't have an MicroSD card slot & removable battery. I had an iPhone 4S which I loved, but it was getting too slow to use. I impulsively bought a refurbished Galaxy S5 thought a slickdeals post a few years back. It's a pretty old phone now, but it's been rooted & without all the bloatware & an extend...

  16. Hey AtariAge I need your help. Can someone please measure their original Intellivision console and give me with measurements? If you also own the voice module could you insert it and give me a second measurement for the width? Thank you very much.

  21. Why is the Intellivision 2 less popular than the original model? What shortcomings does it have?

      @DZ: Thanks for proving my point. :P

       

      The fire buttons aren't actually buttons. Think of them like the D-pads on those goofy Turbo Touch 360 controllers for SNES/Gen.

       

      The keypad on the I/III Intellivisions is plasticky too, and its buttons don't have any "clickity" feedback, either. They're actually harder to press than the II's, which are really just (quite sensitive) touch pads.

       

      Ugly? Pff.

      They should probably try catching up to the performance of the Odroid.

      I think it's been in the works for awhile, but I had read it would be awhile until it was produced. It 3 definitely had a nice jump in processing power. Would be cool to have a little more to see if it could emulate some newer retro systems. :)

  23. And that's when I realized something important. I can't believe it's not butter tastes nothing like real butter, and that Fabio had lied to me.

      Are you looking to carry JUST the system, or do you want to carry some game cards and/or accessories? What kind of protection are you looking for- hard body, soft padding, just enough to prevent mild scratches but nothing against any sort of serious contact?

  25. This will never stop being funny.
