Consoles you bought for one particular game
theredlineboss replied to mbd30's topic in Classic Console Discussion
While my minimum expectation for any game system is that it have one great game, I haven't gotten in the habit of getting things to play one game. The only exception is my Intellivision. I had played with my parents' INTV throughout the 90's, with Burgertime being my favorite game that we had. I wanted to play Burgertime a couple years ago and since the old intellivision was long gone, I bought a copy for the NES. Wow...In my eyes, the NES version was such a horrible game that I vowed to have the Intellivision version I knew and loved . Actually, I now have two Intellivisions - one of the original models (which is what my parents had) and a Telegames version (which I bought because I could use extension cables for the controllers). So I guess I have two systems for one game. -Rob -
Who was stuck with an unpopular console as a kid?
theredlineboss replied to mbd30's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Hm, for me, while all my friends / cousins had either a NES or a Genesis, I had an Intellivision. And it wasn't even that is was mine, per se. My parents had bought it new in '82 for themselves and I was introduced to it in the early 90's. That said, Burgertime was (and still is) awesome on the Intellivision. I didn't actually have my own game system until I bought an xbox 360 for myself a few years back. -Rob -
Wow! That is looking great- Looking forward to receiving mine . Sorry to hear that you received a message like that. Even with the delays you've been experiencing, I'm surprised what you were able to accomplish in this timeframe. -Rob

Ever regret buying/collecting a certain system?
theredlineboss replied to GKC's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Hm, I don't regret collecting for any of my systems, but I do have some regrets: NES: I love the NES, but I paid 50 bux trying to get a working one together, only to have a fully functional top loader fall into my lap for $35. And a while later, I found a fully functional front loader for $6. Turbografx: Great system, but the games generally cost more than I'd like to pay. I'll get some use out of it yet, tho. 5200: This one is much lower on the "regret" side of things. That said, I wound up piecing one working system from 4 non-functional systems- I can't say that that was one of my better ideas. -Rob -
Where did you get your ColecoVision?
theredlineboss replied to SlowCoder's topic in ColecoVision / Adam
I picked up mine from a vendor @ a local flea market. Purchased it as defective- the controller 1 port does not work properly. I'll have to get around to repairing it! -Rob -
I don't have any pix of mine, but it's the standard RF switch for the NES, shown on this page: LINK As for power, I did have the original switchbox hooked up. It wasn't putting out a picture, but the power portion worked fine in my case. -Rob

I was initially using that jack on my 4 port 5200, since I was getting no picture with the Atari box. I initially tested it with a straight cable/manual RF switch, but it sparked when I plugged it into the TV. I swapped that out with a Nintendo RF switch, which worked great for testing. -Rob
