    Your loss. ;)

     

    I had fun talking to nateo up there for awhile.

     

    Hellz yeah! And I got to feel important while offering my two cents on a work in progress!

     

    I had fun, but was disappointed. There was a long line that took over 30 minutes to get through. Also, there seemed to be higher sticker prices all around, though most of the vendors did negotiate. I bought about 20% of the amount of stuff I bought previous shows. Still worth going, but not as exciting. I think a bigger venue (and more cashiers) is required with a bigger crowd, but that will likely necessitate higher entrance and table fees; Ah, the pains of success.

     

    My thoughts EXACTLY. A bigger venue would really help, if only to give people reason to stick around for a little while longer. It was supposed to go from 12 - 8, but I can't imagine there were many people there past 6:30.

     

    Three things I'd like to see from the next CCAG:

    1. Bigger venue, as stated above.

    2. More playable games, arcade or otherwise.

    3. More homebrews! I think there was one table dedicated to repros, and one for homebrews (Arkhan's table), and that's it. I love the old stuff as much as anybody, but you gotta have some new and exciting things to show off!

    I think the only way I would take such a list seriously is if it were done by a group of video game, um, scholars, much like the AFI's lists for top movies and the like. Not to say that I would agree with it more, just that I would look at it and think about it more deeply. As such, this list is clearly done up by journalists who are a little too entrenched in the modern gaming sphere to be able to accurately take a step back and examine holistically.

    I myself started around 1999/2000, when I was just twelve years old. I think it came from my faint early childhood memories of when my dad and mom would play Pac-Man and Donkey Kong on our family's Tandy 1000. Not to mention I've also had a big love of history. Love of history plus love of video games equals love of vintage video games!

    I know alot of the people who work in the local stores, but they aren't exactly people persons :-D . most of them have grown bitter from years of children asking stupid questions, and people wondering why there copy of madden 99 isn't worth what they paid for it :roll: .

     

    A couple of the guys I know at the Victor Game Craze are who I'd call good people persons. I've mentioned the idea to them and they seem to be game :grin:

    Cool cool. Hey, have any of you Western New Yorkers ever thought about starting up some kind of retro video game gathering? I've always toyed with the idea...

    I so would attend that. If needed I would host the website for the event for free.

    That would be excellent, as I am technologically backwards. I don't even have a facebook.

     

    Hot diggity! Well, let's get this ball a-rollin'!

     

    Hey all you fellow Upstate New Yorkers! Just wasn't sure if the idea of a gathering ever gathered any kind of steam.

     

    Nope, not yet, but it is still a dream of mine. Upstate Retro Gamers, unite!

    Hey guys - first time selling on these forums. I've got up for sale a boxed Atari Lynx (model 1) with Xybots, Hydra, and Kung Food, all in the box. I'd like to sell these together for $70 + $10 shipping. SOLD

     

    I also have six Nintendo 64 carts listed below:

     

    Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - $15

    Diddy Kong Racing - $15

    Star Wars: Rogue Squadron - $10

    Starfox 64 - $10

    Goldeneye 007 - $10

    Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire - $8

     

    EDIT: I'd also be willing to sell these as a lot for $40.

     

    Shipping for the cartridges is $2 for the first one and an additional dollar for each additional cart.

     

    I've got some pictures below. My wife took 'em for me! Thanks for looking!

    Just tried this one out - you could really be on to something here! Concerning the inability to turn a corner mid-line, maybe you could make it more like Jezz Ball? It's certainly very Qix-like. Anyway, great work!

    Well, what are you in the mood for? Arcade Shooter, I'd say Juno First; Star Fire is also very good. For an adventure game, probably Evil Magician Returns or Dungeon. Wolfenstein VCS is an incredible hack of Venture. At last look in the store, there was something like homebrew games in the Atari Age store, so you definitely have a lot of options! And new games keep coming all the time!
