Popeye on the CV could not have been done better. Kudos to Parker Bros!

I found an Atari 800 (complete in the box) along with the Atari Programmers Kit, a joystick, and a 410, for $50 (yeah I know, kinda steep, but still an okay price)

To be honest with you, I don't like any of the new systems (one of the reasons I'm on this board!) The ultimate console pick is the Atari 2600. With 600+ games already out for it, and still more to come, you definitley can not go wrong with the almighty VCS.

Zookeeper. It seems like such an obvious pick! I'm pretty sure an okay conversion could have been done. How about a mock-up pic Moycon?

Quickly Spock! Retrive - the - cartridge!

Sure it's primitive, but it was a hit in Japan when they released for the Famicom. And yes, I find myself playing it from time to time.

Either Punch-Out!! or Hogan's Alley. And, of course Super Mario Bros. (don't we all?)

Can't put... joystick down... must... play... Star Trek... SOS *quickly runs to the basement to play another game of ST:SOS*

GAH! I knew you'd get a chance to do something like this! I'm psychotic! er... psychic! I'm glad you get to go. Can't wait for those pics!

By the way, what did you guys pick up at the Philly? I got: -Coleco Expansion Module #1 -another NES -1050 Disk Drive (no cords, but Tempest is on top of that) -Pacman and Star Raiders for the 800 -Popeye for ColecoVision -AD&D Treasure of Tarmin for Intelly (in box) -Some 2600 games: -Riddle of the Sphinx -Star Trek (in box) -Wizard of Wor (in box) -RealSports Boxing -Vault Assult TE -SCSIside

I really need to bring more money next time around, I went from going in with $90, to coming out with $2!

I've already tried it in a real 2600, worked just fine. It must be a wierd conversion problem. Oh well, I was going to take out the 2600 and set it back up anyway (the converter won't play any SuperCharger stuff)

When I tried to play Vault Assult (tournament edition) on my Atari - Coleco converter, it would not play. Can anyone give me some help?

I'll agree. It was so cool getting to see all of you guys! I saw Cassidy, Tempest, Albert, Stan, Joel (although he didn't see me), Dan Boris (same deal), Curt Vendel, and Joe Grand. I probably missed a few, but anyhow, it was great getting to see you all. I can't belive how much my dad liked hearing about the Computer Space/Nolan Bushnell story that Cassidy told him and my brother. The minute we came home my dad wanted to look at my Supercade book so he could look at the part about computer space. And yes Stan, I definetly can build a Star Wars Cockpit machine (not an exact replica, but pretty darned close!)

My dad, my "little" brother, and I are staying at the Courtyard at Marriott. Can't wait to meet you guys!

Wow!!! If you're going to Philly, can ya bring some of that stuff along! I'm really excited about the brand new systems!

I like the 2600 b/c of it's nostaligic appeal to it. Whenever I see a six switch, it reminds me of that day six years ago when my uncle first showed me one.

oh yeah... and Atari-Jess cartoons!

Yeah man, you've missed alot! Adrian bashing Gamecube w/Xbox, a huge discussion on the ET landfill (were you here for that?), and um... Moycon and the wierd things that happen around him...

Hey! Welcome to the boards! I'm fourteen myself by the way. You can check out 4Jays. But since you live in Canada, it would cost a bit for shipping.

I thought the original Super Mario Bros. was too easy. It redifined the genre of arcade platform games, but it was just too easy. Super Mario Bros. 2(not Lost Levels) was a graphic hack of another game called Doki Doki Panic. Still, it was a great game. Now, my favorite would have to be SMB 3, because it was just plain fun. I remember going to my uncle's house (who had an NES) and I always wanted to see him play SMB3.

I'll stick out like a sore thumb. I'm VERY pale, and have dark hair, so it will make me look even... um... pale-er. Most likely I will wear an dark blue Atari logo shirt (just like everyone else I bet)
