  1. Posted the latest submissions for our Space Rocks Label Contest. We're up to 16 entries, with over two weeks remaining! http://t.co/b8pWCjbt

      This is going to be a tough decision! All the entries are good!

      I tried to make one but it looks like crap compared to all the others.

  2. Air Raid auction is now at $17,850! http://www.gamegavel.com/item.cgi?show_item=0000687017

      Anyone who's going to dump $20K+ on Air Raid is going to learn about it regardless of where it's listed. Nobody is searching for "Air Raid" with $20K+ burning a hole in their pocket. They will see the auction linked from other sites, like AtariAge.

      Also, the one on eBay didn't have the lable printing flaw. It was in much nicer condition. We had like 12,000 views of that auction so it was seen by plenty of bidders and watchers :)

      Having this listed on Game Gavel is almost a bit of a coup....congrats Mike!

      Last time I tried to bring an Intellivision, but I had a hard time finding one that would work properly. And I have a ton of them! If someone wants to give me one or sell me one cheap that is known to work, I'll gladly bring one! I have a TON of Intellivision games!

      The show hall is pretty big, I don't think the fumes will be too concentrated.

      frankodragon

      Wouldn't an Atari 2600 game priced at $50-60 back then be about $180-200 today if the system came out in 2010-2012?

  20. Forum updated, if you see any weirdness please let me know. I do have to fix some skin issues, and update the other skins (although they should work fine).

    1. Random Terrain

      Random Terrain

      The biggest upgrade will be the one that lets some AA members work on the AA web site. (Adding new content, deleting broken links, adding submitted links, and so on.)

    2. CorTat-G

      CorTat-G

      Are the new "Warning points" like penalty points if you get so many you'll be banned?

    3. Random Terrain

      Random Terrain

      I just looked and saw one point from 2009. I went hunting, but I can't find anything offensive on that date.

       

      Date: 01-October 09

      Reason: Other

      Points: 1

      Yay! That means more bugs will be introduced! I can't wait! ☺

    2. Albert

      Albert

      Over 300 bugs were fixed--definitely better than the current version (which has some pretty noticeable and annoying bugs!)

    3. Random Terrain

      Random Terrain

      That was a fast update.
