hmmm never had this issue before... good question

Stick some wadded up paper under there for a temporary fix, and I'm sure someone out there has a dead system you could salvage a foot from. Ask around

Funny, I just put some time into Monopoly on Sega Genesis.

What I like about that version is there is a scenario-creation mode, where you can allot property and funds to your liking, and see how the game turns out.

Of course, that meant making all the AI rich, while giving myself all the property and max hotels/houses, just to see how rich I could get by the end of the game (Note: not really that rich by today's standards)

ooo I also have Halo 1-2 for PC as well

I've got both issues of this wonderful publication, and they are both chalk-full of fun retro-gaming coverage. I think my personal favorite thing are all the old-school advertisements, logos, and screenshots used by Rob and his crew to make each page colorful, inviting, and readable. Like a couple people have said, at $1.29, how can you go wrong? You'll spend a good half-hour just scanning the 182 pages of this sophomore issue, let alone reading the articles that interest you. It's a PDF document, so you can save it to multiple devices after purchase - I feel like a commercial. I promise you'll enjoy it!

I think that I am going to post a pic of all my Halo stuff this weekend while we wait. How about the rest of you Halo fans do the same?

here is a little of it

Love it. Almost decided to try something like that as well, just can't justify the space. Here's my stuff:

(click thumbnails for bigger picture) Ed Fries was at Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2011 and I was lucky (and motivated) enough to approach him and get my copy of Halo 2600 personalized. This is one of my prized possessions.

Thanks for sharing Pepijn! Vector Pilot really is a wonderful game. I got 189K last night and unlocked a new plane!

A very fun read, and I don't see any discussion here about it. Feel free to call me out on some old news!

Yeah, mine (which is in amazing condition, especially compared to that one) didn't hit my reserve recently and topped out at $111.11 - so I don't know if he will get any bids, even at his opening price.

All the boxes have had their tops chopped off - no thankee!

As is with all shows on tv. Normal everyday things just aren't good for attracting people to watch the show.

I'm in Youngstown, Ohio, things are cheap here, except gas, because the economy around here sucks.

Bet gas is cheap over there in the usa. Here in the Netherlands the price for 1 gallon of gas is 9.10 dollar. Bet gas price sounds cheap now.

Dude! That really sucks! I thought $3.79 a gallon was bad, I'm so sorry, that's just wrong, time to revolt on all oil companies. $9.10? Wow I'd have to take out a loan just for gas in my car.

Last time I was in the Netherlands, minimum wage was 15 euro and the exchange rate was about $1.50/euro. Prominence of bicycling creates less of a need for gasoline - therefore, they can afford the little gas they use.

On topic: I love the American Pickers. They never do video game stuff, aside from the odd pinball machine or arcade cabinet. I distinctly saw them pass over a Vectrex one time. But what they know, they at least know better than I do - and I find their negotiation tips to be quite helpful. I like their odd style of going after junked-up items over minty fresh, its just a fun show. The rest of them /sigh

As a recipient of some of the first of these, let me say that they are very nice options for anyone who doesn't already have the overlays they desire, and also for a Vectrekker like myself with very specific, odd holes in their collection to fill. They are pretty obviously not original, but the full effect of the overlay is intact. Since I already have all the original overlays, I got Sean Kelly's Dark Tower design and Thrust first, and have Mr. Boston, 2D Narrow Escape, PerformanceVX, and Star Sling on the way once omeganu sees my payment I simply cannot wait.

While at first glance these may seem expensive, filling the Mr. Boston hole is saving me multiple thousands of dollars in my eyes. My hat goes off to you omeganu, you should let me know anytime you add more designs!
