  1. Advanced D&D for INTV - great game. I'd never played it before. Simple and fun!

    1. DoctorTom

      It's quite good! I would also recommend Nighstalker, Shark! Shark!, Atlantis, and Beauty and the Beast, among others. Don't forget the homebrew Space Patrol.

      AD&D's still one of my favorite video games. It's one of the few that's just as good after thousands of plays.

  2. Unsubscribe to an e-mail, and they send you an e-mail to confirm the unsubscribe. AAARGH!

      It means "Thanks for confirming this as a live email account, it's now on our for sale list!". :P

       

  3. Why the frickety is this auction going so high? I see nothing special at all: http://www.ebay.com/itm/231027526534?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

      Well it is a boxed Atari and for 80 shipped I guess .

      Atari hardware is getting harder to find. Just like Apple II stuff. Soundcards for Apple II are moving for $500+

      80 isnt high. Looks good, has a box and seems to have an Atariage mag. I can't stand the way some people say "mint conditions" though. I guess there's more than one condition.

       

       

  4. INTV Boxing - who has a loose cart to sell?

  5. Anyone have a loose Intv Boxing cart to sell?

      I might, I'll check and get back to you. If I do it's yours free, just pay shipping.

  6. No one in the world ever gets what they want and that is beautiful.

  7. Who won the "Asterix" cart on ebay?

    1. Serious

      Serious

      I was tempted to bid on it, but I don't think it said if it was PAL or not..

  8. I wonder who decided that pea-soup green was the best possible screen color choice for the CoCo? I mean, you turn it on, and instantly get a bad impression.

    2. Random Terrain

      They were probably fans of The Exorcist.

  9. Just loaded the 149 version of MESS. Odyssey 2 and CoCo emulation work now...pretty well I might add.

  10. Playing O2 Atlantis. Very impressive O2 game. Good graphics...very fast. I like it.

  11. Colecovision One on One basketball - really pales in comparison to the other versions. Solid color players...no ref...no shattered backboards...hard to block shots...

    1. Stephen

      Stephen

      Shattered backboards were the best part of that game!

      slab0meat

      And the "cursing" as the guy sweeps it up

  12. Another non-paying e-bay bidder. This is happening regularly now. Ebay needs to allow sellers to leave negative feedback for this.

    1. amiman99

      amiman99

      I know, it's waiting time. For BINs, I do immediate payment, works every time.

    2. Master Phruby

      Master Phruby

      what I can't stand is sellers that never ship or communicate. They deserve negative feedback.

  13. Blazers finally get a center! Hoorah!

    1. desiv

      desiv

      Well, he's no Sabas, but we'll see...

    2. RickR

      RickR

      Sabonis, Walton, even Duckworth...those guys don't come around very often. Lopez will be an improvement from last year IMO. And we still have money left to get a bench gunner. Rip Hamilton perhaps?

    3. retrorussell

      I'd almost be good with him backing up Nic. But 1.) He's old and 2.) Might want too much. May be a good stopgap.

  14. 8-bit Missile Command + Trak Ball in analog mode = pure awesomeness.

  15. Two broken Atari Trak Balls. Cannibalized parts from both and now have one working trak ball!

    1. OldSchoolRetroGamer

      OldSchoolRetroGamer

      And one REALLY BROKEN one!

    2. RickR

      RickR

      :) You're right!

       

    3. Bryan

      Bryan

      There aren't enough games for broken controllers.

  16. Ballblazer on C64 - not very good compared to the Atari 8-bit version.

    1. RickR

      RickR

      NES one doesn't look too bad (looked on youtube).

       

    2. Bryan

      Bryan

      Ballblazer used a Display List trick on the A8 that made it very fast.

    3. RickR

      RickR

      Just played the NES version via emulation. Not very good!

       

      Atari 7800 version is great. Good job on the music and graphics.

  17. When buying on ebay, isn't it reassonable to expect a seller to ship within 10 days? Or respond to an e-mail?

      Sellers need to wait two weeks to do research after the sale. Once they find evidence that they could have made more money, they can cancel the sale and try to sell at a higher price. :D

    3. Serious

      Serious

      2-3 days until shipping is the norm.

    4. TheGameCollector

      TheGameCollector

      Also make sure to read the seller's description that they chose for how long they would take for handling time. If I know I'm not going to be able to ship till a month later because I'm going on vacation or something, I put a longer handling time.

  18. Dang it. I opened my C64-C, and it has the kernal chip soldered in (no socket). No JiffyDOS for me.

    1. RickR

      RickR

      I'd destroy the board.

    2. Bryan

      Bryan

      So, sell your 64 and try another one?

    3. RickR

      RickR

      It took me about 5 C64's before I found one in working condition.

      Happy fathers day everyone! Play some Atari with your kids.

  20. Does anyone have any insight on the Honda Insight?

      I heard it's some kind of car.

  21. So is the show "Portlandia" funny to anyone that doesn't live in Portland?

    1. BassGuitari

      BassGuitari

      Absolutely.

      If you like your comedy weird or quirky where people do odd things for usually no particular reason, then sure. I kinda like it because it's so true that the hipsters here act that way. I don't necessarily like people that way but that's what they're like.

    3. RickR

      RickR

      Good to know, thanks. It's a pretty accurate view of life here in PDX (my home town). But I have no idea how it is perceived elsewhere.

  22. OMG -- Colecovision Frenzy is so awesome! Best game I've played on CV so far.

    1. KevinMos3

      KevinMos3

      For me, this is THE Frenzy. I cut my teeth on this and can't play any other version. The added music makes the whole game for me.

    2. BillyHW

      BillyHW

      Yes, Frenzy ColecoVision soundtrack really sets the mood.

    3. ilovethevectrex

      it looks like a cool game :)

  23. Anybody have a Colecovision "One on One Basketball" to sell? PM me.

  24. 8-bit Lode Runner. Very fun, and I love the animation on the stick figures.

    1. Stephen

      Stephen

      I was always impressed with the circular fade in/fade-out level transition

       

    2. Grig

      Grig

      Apple II version was my favorite

    3. RickR

      RickR

      Yeah, that circular fade is cool. Not impressed with the brown screen color though. Still, a really fun game.

       

      I'll have to check out the Apple II version via emulation. It is always interesting to compare different versions of the same game.

       

  25. Am I the only person that LIKES black jelly beans?
