  3. I bought Mr Do!s Castle for 2600 for $2.50. But when I got home, my son pointed out it was for Colecovision, not 2600. So I check my spreadsheet. I already own Mr. Do! I set it aside all cheesed off at myself. It's now months later. I finally plug the thing in to make sure it works for an ebay sale. Hey! This doesn't look like Mr. Do! Mr. Do!s CASTLE. I didn't have it after all! Win!

  4. Sam Jackson is starring in a new movie where he plays a plumber who unclogs sinks and bathtubs. It's called "Snakes in a Drain"

  5. Brought a 1050 floppy drive back to life today!

  6. "Christmas Carol" has been voted Best Intellivision Home-Brew Of All Time!

  7. Actually found a couple loose Intellivision carts in excellent condition! I NEVER find Intellivision in the wild, two IMAGIC games Beauty and the Beast and Dragonfire. $3.99ea, too much? I don't care I could not pass on such a rarity around here lol.

  8. How can something be shipped when the post office is closed for Memorial Day?

  9. Mtn Dew Baja Blast now sold in stores. no longer do i have to go to taco hell just to get this delicious soda.

  10. Flea World Find: 2600 Reactor, Sneek N Peak, and Worm War I for a total of $2. Worm War was marked $4.99, but it was sitting int he "3 for $2" area so he gave it to me.

  11. Jeez, on ebay it doesn't seem to be possible to contact a seller without "opening a case" now...

  17. I have definitely been bitten by the Lynx bug. I must say the cartridge medium is rather unsatisfying though..its just a shard of plastic with exposed pins and a sticker on it. how the hell do you store those?

      Yes, and some of them have a rounded edge or flat support pieces that stick out, so they don't stack well. I keep the few I have in a cardboard box that business cards came in.

  18. Anyone find that there are more tv channels dedicated to 'retro' tv shows from the 1960's, 70's, and 80's? It's great to see oldies like Batman, Wonder Woman, Welcome Back Kotter, Gilligan's Island, and the Love Boat. Some of the shows even include tech gadgets, computers, and video games from the era.

  19. Please tell me I'm not the only one who walks up to automatic doors in stores and pretends to open them with the Force. :D

  20. The 5200is the last Atari I don't have and I'm just not sure how to go about buying one. They all seem so dodgy on eBay with various issues and assorted crustiness. Talk about red headed step child, makes my Jag CD seem simple and reliable in comparison...

  21. My 800xl is sick. Power light comes on, mostly won't boot to basic or disk. Every once in a great while it loads a disk up and everything is slow/inaccurate. Is it time for a whole new 800xl, or is the power supply possibly my problem?

  22. There are some cheap Mattel Aquarius computers being sold as-is on eBay right now. No mini expanders. Still, if I didn't have one, I'd take a chance.
