    Not trying to steer you away from Chromizone, but it's not like there won't be any more system auctions on ebay.  :ponder:  

     

    If I didn't have anything to begin with, I think I would have started with the computer first, maybe try and pick up a whole package, with disk drive, tape drive, etc.  You can usually come out cheaper that way. $36 for an untested disk drive is very high.  :(  I just sold one to another member here for around $10 plus $5 for shipping. Actually it was for a 2600 cart, plus $5 to cover shipping, But I've seen systems with disk drives for under $30 sometimes, you just have to be patient.

     

    So do you have a 600XL or an 800XL for me?

    Ok if you are so hot what if ET was a better game and ATARI did not make so many of them. Try that one. Later

     

    Atari would have had a slightly better rep if ET was better, but you're forgetting about the glut of horrible 3rd-party games for the 2600 that caused the crash in the first place.

    " (insert console here) rocks, all others suck!". This means you, Electric Troy.
    Why you... I have quotes to back up my claim!
    Sorry..No you don't.

     

    None of the quotes is, "XXX console rocks, all others suck!" While I did say C=64 was my favorite 8-bit system, I did NOT say 2600/7800/other consoles suck. In fact, I still play 2600 games very often. Ditto SNES/PS1/N64 games. I love multiple consoles. I'm not a fanboy.

     

    You lost the argument, because you made a ridiculous (and wrong) statement.

     

    Yes, but my quotes still show your fanboyism, Troy. :x

    on the other hand i hate people who bring the vic-20, C64, atari 800, TI994a etc into the classic gaming scene. those beasts were computers not consoles, there is a difference!

     

    Yes, but those computers are best remembered for their games, so they obviously have a place here at Classic Gaming Central. :)

    I never really liked fanboys. And the reason why is because they always go about saying " (insert console here) rocks, all others suck!". This means you, Electric Troy.

     

    Provide proof. Show us where ElectricTroy said that?

     

    HINT: I never did.

     

    Why you... I have quotes to back up my claim!

     

    "I think the reason I'm not impressed by the 2600 is because I own the Commodore=64 version which is obviously superior..." -from the Atari 2600 forum

     

    "1-Commodore=64" -from the Classic Gaming Central Forum

    "None of them. My favorite 8-bit system is a Commodore=64." -from the Atari 7800 forum

    "SID was the best musical chip in an 8-bit machine." -from the Atari 7800 forum

    "I KNOW that the SID is better than the POKEY."- from the Atari 7800 forum

    "IMHO the only 8-bit machine with sound worth hearing is the Commodore=64. The rest I just turn down the volume to barely audible."-from the Atari 7800 forum

     

     

    Now please don't lie again, Troy.
