That machine looks great! Congratulations on the score. Do the kids get to keep it in their bedroom? My cab is out in the family room. People are pretty impressed with seeing an actual working arcade cabinet in the house. It's something you don't see everyday.
-
But when do you draw the line between collector and hoarder?
-
Darn. I was hoping it was an actual arcade cabinet.

Did it play SNES games like the back of the box shows? How were the joysticks?
-
You see that kind of stuff happen all the time with Star Wars figures. People would return the packaging with completely different figures inside it. Walmart will take ANYTHING back.

It does seem like a strange move to remove the component video/480p. Can't they just add a hdmi port and have it run in standard def instead?

You got a trophy in 1980 if your team won the championship. If you did not, there is no trophy. Getting the trophy meant something. Getting the high score, be it the overall high score in the arcade or your personal high score in Pitfall! on the 2600 actually meant something. Beating Halo is simply like finishing a book. Many many people have done the same thing. Big deal. Still a fun ride, but no real (pardon the pun) achievement.
Also, collecting is the same rush for me. Finding a game you don't have. Maybe playing a game you never played as a kid. It's all incredibly fun. It's challenging and when you succeed you deserve your trophy.
My kids play sports and every time they get a trophy even if the team didn't win the championship. This is because parents don't want their kids to feel bad for losing. This is insane thinking. In a game not everyone can win. There must be a winner and loser. Losing is part of life and shielding a kid from losing makes for a messed up adult. I can't tell you how many useless trophies we have taking up space. My kids could care less about them. I remember the time my son's team did win the championship, his championship trophy was smaller than his participant trophy!

Interesting the back doesn't have any description or pictures of the game.

The reason I like Atari games is that it doesn't take 300 hours to play the game. I can sit down for fifteen minutes, play and move on.
Like Kennetzel, my house is full of collectibles from my youth. It doesn't mean I have some stupid "Peter Pan syndrome" or not fit in with society's definition of a man? According to society/media, a man is suppose to be obsessed with watching millionaires bounce a ball down a court or hit a ball with bat. A man is suppose to be obsessed with his career and making money to where he never see's his wife and children. A man is suppose to be stupid, an alcoholic, obsessed with sex and have affairs with as many women as possible.
If that is what I'm suppose to be, I say screw the norm. I'd rather play Atari, love my wife and kids and be a good father.

I got mine yesterday! What an amazing hand made cartridge to add to my collection. I want to publicly thank Mr. Williamson for the great game and the chance to help it become a reality. I can't wait for your next game. How about Rip Off or Black Widow?

Crazy Climber, what ever happen to the project where you were hording E.T. cartridges? What did you do with them?

This reminds me of a program called Paper Weight that ANALOG computing published back in the late 80s to make your Atari 8-bit computer comit sucide. It actually was a graphics demo that would slowly bring up screen glitches. It would make the glitches happen faster and faster until the screen would go black and then display an RF snow screen. Hitting Reset or any other buttons wouldn't do anything. Turing the machine off and on again would restore the machine.

I thought the only way to tell if its a heavy sixer is to open the case and see about nine inches thick of plate metal armor.
-
This is what you need. I had one, it worked awesome. Might have to get another one.
Very well built.
Too bad Logitech doesn't make a modern USB version of this stick. Who the heck has a gameport or serial port anymore?
-
I have the original PS2 with a FF IX HDD installed. I've never tried getting online with FFIX. Is that game still running?
-
This makes me wonder if I should buy a new ps2 while there is still stock. I have an original ps2 with network card and Final Fantasy HDD.

Amazon is selling the Wii mini for $179.99! But you get an additional second controller so it's got that going for it.
-
I see the Wii U getting discounted by at least $100 within six months like the 3DS. For Christmas, I was able to pick up a 3DS for $130 at Target. It was a good upgrade for our well used DS.

It's amazing they were in production that long. That has to be one of the longest production runs for a console ever.

Sticking with a basic theme in the song, it could be "Twelve plumbers plumbing."
That's better.
Twelve plumbers plumbing...
Eleven bats a-swiping..
Ten centipedes creeping...
Nine knights a-lancing...
Eight sprites a-blinking
Seven explorers swimming...
Six geeks a playing...
Fiiiiiiiive Warlords kings!
Four Phoenix birds
Three light pens
Two "Yorgle" gloves
and A cartridge of "Chetiry"

Fixed it. I give the cart port a major cleaning and blew the dust out.
-
I don't get it?
-
My six year son and I finished the Lego X-Wing. He wanted to do most of it by himself and I think he did a pretty good job. He only had a few errors that I corrected for him.

I have a 7800 that I bought about twenty years ago. It's been working great until recently. I went to try out some of my new Atariage games in it, the power light comes on but all I get is a black screen. This happens for every cartridge I own. Last week everything worked with a little blowing on the carts and such. Is it finally dead? Any ideas?

It sounds like you want a Super Game Cube. Just get rid of the motion control crap and add ethernet, built in wavebird, GBC cart slot, HDMI, DVD/CD support and internet.
