Probably save, but hoping the other half buys it first.

If you wanted to get it cheap ... Target is doing buy one get one on Wii U games, and Gamestop has the console for just over $100.

I felt that way about Soul Blade for the PSX.

I think it's ok... but I would vote Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, Over the Garden Wall, Steven Universe, Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, Dexter's Lab, We Bare Bears, Harvey Birdman, and many others as far better. Personal preference I guess. But I would say most if not all of those are more thoughtful and layered shows.

I like almost all of the shows mentioned. I was real big into ATHF, Harvey Birdman, Sealab, Space Ghost CTC, American Dad!, Family Guy, Venture Bros, Metalocalypse...And Bob's Burgers grew on me, I like it a lot better now for some reason

And don't forget Archer! Actually a good rule of thumb is anything with H. Jon Benjamin is good IMO. And Home Movies was by some of the crew that does Bob's Burgers...I liked it.

In NYC? No doubt there are. But as with everything in NYC, I'd expect to overpay.

Might as well hop over to the Nintendo store.. even though there isn't much there you can't get everywhere else.

You really need to make your way to Digital Press Videogames. Its in New Jersey, but its a great store. They even carry a decent inventory of AA homebrew carts. 387 Piaget Ave, Clifton, NJ 07011 http://dpvideogames.com/

Not a bad deal. I actually have a similar cart I sell for $15. Shoot me. A message if you want to check it out.

I have a few of those from back when (Usually boxed), and I always paid more than that! But yeah, they're fun! Lots of NES games there probably, just so ya know...

Hmmmm...interesting

Knowing what YOU like versus what is a good game in a genre you don't like will save you a lot of time and money..

To me a lot of GBA games could be great, but they overcomplicate them...If they treated them like NES/SNES games they would have ruled...I DO recommend The Castlevania games though! (I know I'm so Brave to recommend those ...

Answer: Yes.

I'll answer yes too but you also should learn how to softmod it to get the absolute most out of it. But softmodding is very easy once you get the Micro SD/Memory Stick Duo adpater. Once softmodded you can install PSP and PSX games to the card and plenty of emulators too.

I love the PSP! I just got a new battery for my first one...A friend put some emulators on there and it rocks!

Tell her she can spend quality time with the kid and the Atari too!

We had IBM Personal System/2's in high school in our computer science class. I learned BASIC and Pascal on one. Writing labs had Mac Pluses.

Yup, killing time is one of the top uses for my smartphone as well (aside from business-related stuff). It makes waiting for stuff a little bit easier.

I still can't get into the smarphones. Probably from seeing too many smartphone zombies at work. The Game and Watch series of handhelds was basically invented as a time killer.

Smearing your finger in face sweat and ear wax is fun!

And they used an Apple II for some of the music and sound scoring.

A few people (mainly those who were already into computers at the time) immediately grokked Tron, but the rest need to have it explained to them, and that would take much more space than a status update.

When I realized Sark was Gul Madred everything became clear.

I would go back for that.

should read Gameboy.

One of my all time favs. But man those late game turns made my computer at the time CHUG!

Big time fan of the Civ games, but Civ 3 was probably my least favorite in the series. My personal tops are the original, Civ 2: Test of Time, Civ 4: Beyond the Sword, and Civ 5: Brave New World.

50/50. MK8 is great, but I might not spend quite that much just to be able to play one game. If you have any interest at all in at least a couple of the other Nintendo first party titles, then yes.

@DoctorTom. This

there were already plenty of reasons this is just another

BurgerTime is a favorite of mine on just about any platform. I grew up with the TI 99/4A version, but the Intellivision and Aquarius versions are the ones I play the most today. I agree that the disc works well with the game.

Definitely check out Diner, the Intellivision sequel to BurgerTime.

I don't know about total sense, but it is usable in this case.

Party at your house! I'll bring the snacks and beer.

Grats. Keep workin' on it. I'm just over 250 myself - unique carts, not counting duplicates.

The hand controller isn't nearly as bad as its reputation. Just avoid using it as you would a gamepad: use your fingers to rotate the disc along its edge, rather than smudging it from the center with your thumb.

I like holding the controller in my left hand and using my right index finger or thumb on the disc. You can also rock it back and forth with two fingers in games like Astrosmash.

I hold the controller with both hands. my left hand holds the controller sideways and my thumb moves the 'disc', my right thumb pushing the numbers and fire button, and holds the right side, while I use the disc with my left thumb. Most comfortable way for me.

I love meeting people in back alleys at night to buy things in plastic bags like "wavebird controllers" CL meetups can make me feel like a real sketchball sometimes...

No one knows what goes on behind cruddy dumpsters. Behind cruddy dumpsters.

Doubt it works properly at that price. If the controllers aren't aces, it's not worth even having an INTV. Even when they are in perfect condition, the controllers are "challenging" to use.

...you did ask.

Well either way there are worse ways to spend 20 bucks.

I have also not spent my first hours at work blasting the judas priest Pandora station, drinking 4 cups of coffee, and perusing AA forums..

I have not spent my first 8 1/2 hours of work on AtariAge.. Errrr... Wait a second..

Sounds like you need to lay off the coffee.

The guy who rang me up seemed to lack the enthusiasm I had over the mystery carts. There was also a mystery Activision cart, if I swing by again in a couple of weeks and it is still there I'll give it a home.

My bets: Q*Bert and Armor Ambush.

Super Challenge Football, Amidar.

Likely the PB cart is Frogger. I'll bet it's Astro Smash for the M-Network one.
