  1. Truly amazing stuff. I love it all but that exhibitor tag is awesome! Super cool!
  2. Wow. I don't even know what to say except Thank You again. Amazing! Not too long, just long. Perfect for the challenge! Agreed!
  3. Holy Cow! I don't even know how to appropriately say thanks. Here's a picture of the game... There are 34 presents on Santa's sleigh. Each time you hit one it disappears and you gain 1 point. If you knock all of the presents off the sleigh Santa will refill it and you can keep going. Secret Santa is a breakout-style of game. The sleigh is long so a big part of the difficulty is actually getting the ball above the blades since it will ricochet off them. I love that the paddle has my AtariAge name on it. My 14 year old pointed out that I should have chosen a much longer name lol. We played for almost two hours alternating turns. I was really happy to break 100 (and took the picture below when I finally did) but then got into a groove and finished my last game with a score of 328. This is beyond awesome. I love breakout style games. I got my first Atari for Christmas in 1980. My parents bought Breakout to go with it. I played it like crazy and it's the only game I remember my dad ever playing. Later I played Alleyway for the Gameboy a ton, Arkanoid for the NES a bunch and Stonix is one of my all-time favorite Intellivision homebrews (although I refer to games released today as boutique releases). SS 2020 is of course my new favorite According to my family I live on AtariAge. I can't believe I've never seen this game before. Beyond awesome!
  4. I've been patiently waiting but tonight seemed like a great time to open my SS gift. Delicious candies (the kids are trying the sour wheels right now - they are sour!), a Giana Sisters keychain, A Secret Santa C64 cart, and a gift certificate (not shown) to the AtariAge store! I feel like I hit the Secret Santa jackpot! I haven't played the Secret Santa game yet but it's a cart for the Commodore 64. I absolutely LOVE stuff like this! I am beyond excited to check it out. If we were doing a draft of gifts and I had first choice, this would have been it! Thank you Santa! The past month has been rough for me. It was awesome to sit down with my gift and get lost in it for awhile. I am so excited to play the game! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
  5. Still thinking about you every day. Sending positive thoughts and prayers.
  6. Raises hand - I'm glad you liked it. I actually had more planned but couldn't follow through due to health reasons at the time so my priority changed to making sure you received your package before Christmas. I'll send you a PM and we can set up a post-Christmas second delivery Roger was a great help. I've purchased a bunch of patches from you recently and wanted to give you one you didn't have from back in the day. He sent me a picture of your collection which helped tremendously, otherwise you probably would have gotten something you already have.
  7. Well that took a hard turn
  8. Pants that help with social distancing. That could useful!
  9. Received my Secret Santa package in the mail today. Thanks Santa! I'll wait until it gets a little closer to Christmas to open it. Fun Fact - I had the same secret Santa before and still have some art he created on display at my desk
  10. Cool concept I thought "Nosehair help" was the title of the game lol I know there were lots of suggestions for names earlier. I would have submitted "nostril damus"
  11. I know he's a third party character but it has to be Pitfall Harry.
  12. Berzerk 2 would have cool. Maybe mix in some of the concepts from Intellivision's Night Stalker (limited ammunition, other obstacles) and some treasures to collect.
  13. He posted it there too. I think he's just doubling down.
  14. Holy cow. Your whole collection is amazing! Wow!!
  15. Wow, that looks awesome! I love the music but wondered if it would get annoying after awhile. Would be nice if there's a way to turn it off/on.
  16. Nice. Not playing is the only way to fail.
  17. I had the same experience. Had to go through the email that was sent to me to get it to work.
  18. You will keep the same member number (per the email they sent out)
  19. I received mine today. Looks awesome. Now I just need to hook up my Channel F. Thanks!
  20. Maybe they were confused and thought it was TATA stuff I guess I am not too mature for that
  21. Totally agree but that's part of the fun Totally disagree lol but as you mentioned, it's a poll based on opinion Now what isn't based on opinion is that Beamrider should be #1 on every ballot as it's easily the best 2600 game. The poll should be used for #2-100.
