My favorite way to play E.T. is to keep collecting candy pieces and giving them to Elliott until I'm about to die on my last life. Then hit the count down and get to landing area with as little life points left. After E.T. goes home, Elliott circles his house and the heart pump counts up the candy pieces I gave Elliott. I treat the number of heart pumps as my final score.

You must have the best Secret Santa in the world!

As a kid E.T. was one of my favorite games. I use to see how many candy pieces I could collect and give to Elliot before jumping aboard the space ship with very little energy left. I use to do speed runs on it too (before it was fashionable). It's a simple game and any skilled player could avoid the pits easy enough.
Now if you want to talk bad games, look at Air Raid. It's worth thousands of dollars but is a pure suck-fest to play.

I received my SS gifts and my jaw dropped when I saw what it was!
Star Wars Lego X-Wing! My kids and I will have a great time putting this together.
A mess of homebrew cartridges from the store. I got CIB Saboteur, Gingerbread Man, Incoming!, Chunkout 2600 and Bee-Ball! I can't wait to try them out.
An Atari-Age shirt that I am proudly wearing right now.
An Atari poster.
AtariAge magnets and pins.
Finally a ton of lifesavers and Reeses Pieces. My favorites!
Thank you so much Albert for the cool things! This is so incredibly generous of you. I'm doing to happy dance.

3. Asteroids

Those kids are tone deaf.

I like the touch pad that came with the 2600 version of Star Raiders. I also like all the crap that came with Infocom games or the cloth map that came with one of the Ultima games.
-
I used one of those magic erasers on it.

It reminds me of Fanboys. This movie looks fairly decent.

What happens when you get to the top?

About 17 years ago I picked up a working Atari Kangaroo arcade machine at a local thrift store. They had mis-marked it at $50 but let me have it anyway for that price. The machine is in great shape. The side panels are prefect, the coin slot works but the marque and coin slots don't light up. It even came with the keys, instruction manual and schematics! When we were expecting our third child, the cab was moved to my brother-in-law's house for storage. Now after six years it has returned!

I'll leave these to the hot wheels scalpers. Maybe they will leave the Star Wars figures alone.

This is just Nintendo's way of building up demand. They are purposely holding back product to get free publicity. It worked last time for the Wii.

I'm running Fusion 3.64 with my latest graphics drivers. Whenever I go into full screen mode, the emulator shows a quarter of the screen and freezes up. I can press esc after a few seconds to return to window mode. This happens in any full screen resolution mode. Any ideas?
-
Great doc! So what do you see when you've beaten the game? Does the game just end and cycle thru colors like other Atari carts do?
-
...and Halo 2600.

So for some reason this naked woman must collect dots and clothing. If she goes to long without dots or the policemen touch her, her fatigue goes up. So its like Pacman but you can run over the ghosts but can't not each dots for very long. Is that right?
How come we never got a 2600 version of this?
-
Anyone get their Star Castle from that kickstarter thing yet? It would be nice to have it by christmas.
-
Was Star Wars arcade ever released for the Vectrex? How about The Empire Strikes Back?
-
. It needed a cleaning, so I took it apart, and when I put it back together, I had a spring left over...LOL...But it does work.
Don't worry about those spare parts. They put them in there for replacements.

I've been debating whether to share my experience with Legacy Engineering. Anyway, I bought a USB Atari joystick from them. The site said was in stock. It didn't arrive within a week so I was concerned. I sent numerous emails (at one point almost every day) and very rarely got responses back. Sometimes I got emails back saying it was going to ship tomorrow (which were lies). Other times I got really nasty be patient messages that they were looking for a box and one time he said New York is under water due to a hurricane so he can't get to the post office. (this was two years ago) I constantly asked for my money back with no response. Finally after two and half months, the joystick arrived. I should have reversed the charges with my credit card company and filed a complaint with the BBB but I didn't. From what I've found around here, this experience is very common when dealing with Legacy Engineering. It just seems like they really don't care about their customers.
