baby BUMP - still looking for some empty boxes if ya got 'em. Thanks for looking!

Bump and thanks to atari2600land & redraider for helping me out! Still looking for some more of these, thank you!

I love it - Dot Matrix is still around - like a drunk relative.

There is a business in town that still prints their invoices on a dot matrix parinter. It's a Star but I couldn't tell which kind. I asked the sales person about it and she said that it's been there for about 25 years and they are supposed to replace it soon due to no more ribbons (at least that are affordable). She called it "The Dinosaur".

Love it. What a great story. Good job, kid!

Yes, please! Thanks, I'll PM you.

Yeah, I'll get it framed one of these days. I used to have a Legend poster as well but I think I sold it a long time ago ... at a swap meet far, far away

Zillion is my all time favorite SMS game. Great Baseball is a lot of fun too.

Yes, the 80s were great. The 70s were great, too - but a bit too funky from time to time. The 80s were such a great mix of 'modern' and 'classic'. I'm not too wrinkly yet, but I am a bastard

It was just such an exciting time for almost everything. I remember my junior high (1983) had TRS-80s in their computer lab - no Apples or anything else. It was nearly impossible to use one during 'free' time (lunch period). We also used to have our own D&D club in junior high where we would roll dice during class time, tell the DM what we rolled while passing in the halls and he would tell us what happened the next period. Good times!

Yup - I may be interested in some of that Pac-Man goodness but pics and then please whenever you can, list some prices - thanks for thinking of us at AA.

Technology is so fleeting these days. Every year a 'new and improved' model of something or other comes out and it's cheaper than the previous year's model (or if it's a car it's mor expensive). Anyway, long gone are the days where something was built and you could keep/use it for 20 years - and it would be expected to last that long. Look at the computers of the 80s - most of them still work and 30+ year old disks can still be read from and written to. Just check your local thrift stores. Most of them have some old 486's or XT's or towers or Windows 98 machines along with parts and peripherals like CD-ROM drives and ZIP drives. You hardly ever see an 80s computer like Atari, Commodore, Apple or Texas Instruments. Why is this? Because the owners of those computers know that their machines are very special and they were built to last with care. They are NOT a 'dime a dozen' - they are the exact opposite.

Hi. Yes, mainly commercials, not the programs - unless it is an interview or a "making of" special or something like that. Another option is to ship them to me and I'll send them back when I am finished (which won't take too long because I am do not have any projects going at the moment) but that is up to you. I completely understand if you don't want to do that. The DVD option would be fine. I can pay you for the cost of the DVD's and the shipping and your time of course. I'm open to many options. Thanks very much!!! Jon

Hi. I'm still looking for old VHS or Beta tapes with TV recordings from pre-1990 stuff. Anyone have some they'd like to get rid of, please contact me! Thanks!

Imagination for computer games just seemed to be alive in the 80s. The box and manual artwork from that decade has some of the best art IMHO. Creativity was high. Now, things just seem to be recycled over and over again. Just look at most of the games and movies out today. Recycled trash (or just plain trash!).

The 80s was my favorite decade. It was such a blend of the old and the new. It was pretty diverse where I lived, too. I was known as the "Atari" guy. My friends Robert and Chris were the "Commodore 64" guys, My friend Birch was the "Amiga" guy, my friend Jeff was the "TI" guy, my friend Richard was the "Vic-20" guy and my friend Benny was the "Apple IIe" Guy.

Yeah, I put yellow vs yellow but I really meant yellow vs orange.

Item sold, thanks A2A!

Sweet, nice collection! I especially like the A-Team van and the Transformers trash can!

And so the item is pending ...

Wonderful gentleman to do business with. I bought some boxed 5200 games from him and they were in great shape with quick shipping. Thanks Gary!

Black Adder remastered DVD set from 2009, supposed to be a 6 DVD set but the first DVD is missing. Got this from a friend and watched, not interested in watching again, Can't find the first DVD (sorry!) - You can get it on epay though. No scratches or marks on the DVD's. $40 shipped

I just got my boxed PItfall II (thanks Gary!) so I no longer need my loose one. $7 shipped. Works but needs a good cleaning.

Hi. Just wondering if the Atari 8 bit black carts have actual variations in their labels (the light vs the dark, yellow lettering vs yellow lettering) or if it's just sun damage or age. Thanks.
