  1. Good luck on getting them all...

     

     

     

     

    no, really...

     

     

     

    for real...

     

     

     

     

    shine them up with Armor All when you get them...proctects the rare ones from UV damage...

     

     

    really...

  2. there is one and it has yellowish orange writing as opposed to red as far as i remember...I knew a guy who had one growing up...(his dad owned the local sears store here)...true story. :ponder:


  3. If the Xbox can run doom 3, then I'm not in a huge hurry to upgrade anyway? Halo 2 was great, looked great...all that sort of thing...why upgrade? they are just now pressing the limits of the Xbox...and I think MS is making a huge mistake by not investing in growing the Xbox Live community vs. forcing people to upgrade...they are going to end up splitting the core of Xbox Live as a result...I'd guess by the end of 2005 XBL would be going very well, why throw a new system in the mix? Why not continue to develope a new console for another year and then release it head to head against the PS2...the life span of the Xbox was far to short and I get the impression they are just throwing out the Xbox2 to get a jump on Sony...in the end I think Sony will show to be wiser to wait it out and not try to get something out just to match the Xbox2...this really kinda irritates me.

  4. I had one of those original huge controllers still sealed in the retail blister pack I was saving...came in the original amazon bundle i ordered during the first launch year...then the 13 year old who shall remain nameless decided to open it to play 2 player Sims Urbz with her friend about two weeks ago...I walked in and saw the package laying in the floor and almost shit a brick...I just kinda said "oh well there goes that one" and let it go though. :sad: I can get another controller, hard to replace a good kid...lol.


  5. if you are like me, you'll say that and it will end up leading you to using it again...lol..I have (4) 5200's sitting in my basement hooked up running various things at the moment as a result...I've had a blast testing out controllers and systems and carts over the last week or so preparing to sell everything....as a result i really dread getting rid of it...lol...the 5200 trackball in particular has been a lot of fun...forgot how great it was to play Centipede with that on the 5200. :ponder:


  6. I like the SA controllers myself, although I am going to try one of those Jag conversions...because I love the Jag setup...fits my hands very comfortable personally.

     

    I have not had any problems with the SA's? I bought a set new in box on ebay and have been using them for a couple of years...

     

    I also have a Modded Adam like Lee has in the pic and it's by far the best route to go as far as Colecovision....would take it over a stock unit any day :love:


  7. I noticed in one person's auction on ebay that it specificly  stated he didn't use armor all to clean it.

     

     

    I'm glad you asked...I fully endorse Armor All for your Atari cleaning needs...it does a wonderfull job and does in fact leave a nice shiney glow...and somewhat of a pungent odor...which i like to think of as an acquired smell. Contrary to what you might hear from some of the "nay-sayers" in the peanut gallery...no one can produce an ounce of proof that cleaning your classic Atari with Armor All does anything but make it shiney.

     

    While the folks at Armor All will not go on the record saying that they can encourage the use of their product to clean Atari systems...I think it is fine...I will have to work up a web page with an FAQ on it as to the proper procedure for cleaning an Atari system with Armor All, because you can't just give it a bath...it takes a little time, effort, and overall TLC to get a showroom shine on your 20 year old system.

     

    Thank you...that is all.
