Am I the only one who loves Oink! by Activision?
-
Fast Food.

Light sixer is my favorite. That thick, rounded edging on the heavy sixer is a bit much for me.
-
Any of the Panda games.
-
Pac-Man. Bought it the same day I bought the 2600.
-
4Jays, a small store in California.
-
Coconuts.

Launching the VCS is what drove him to seek outside financing (selling Atari to Warner).
The ghost of the programmer of Exocet told me to go but a VCS. But not to get any if his games because they all SUCKED.
-
The ghost of Nolan Bushnell appeared to me and commanded me to go forth and begin collecting VCS carts.
Weirdest thing is, Bushnell's not dead.
Even weirder, I don't think Bushnell had anything to do with the VCS.

I know you're readin' this, r!
Ya sick @#%£!

You put them in your hand and then in a back-n-forth motion rub them on paper.
Hope this helps!
What do you think I am, 5? I know how to use crayons. They just don't look that comfortable.

I've been collecting for the VCS for some time now, and during that time my collection has grown quite large.
Yesterday I was looking at my boxes of games and asked myself, 'Is there really any point to collecting?' So I got a few rares from eBay, cool. Did I end world hunger? No. Why buy these games anyways? So they can sit on a shelf forever? 'cause let me tell ya, I won't be playing Eli's Ladder anytime soon.

Looks great. Have fun!

How does someone actually color with those crayons?

Found a light sixer at corner store called 4Jays in CA and fell in love with it. Came with Combat, but I also got Pac-Man.

Can't believe I didn't notice this before.
On the 7800 I got in this find, I just noticed that it has two "POWER" buttons - where the select button is, it says power.
I'm sure it's still a select button, but somehow has a button with the wrong label on it.
Can only wonder if it was made that way, or if someone made that change at some point.
Odd.
Looks authentic, but it's not an "ULTRA RARE UNRELEASED PROTOTYPE" or anything. Simply a manufacturer's mistake.

Outlaw.

Is it simple enough to just switch out chips?

I think I had Commando already, but didn't have my list with me. I know I did not have Beamrider.
This was an unexpected find. Dinky store had some books and crap out on tables on the sidewalk for sale - there were a couple original Playstations there. I asked if they had any Atari stuff, expecting to hear "No," but they said yes, and had a ton of stuff - the 400, 7800, a battered 2600 Vader, and a ton of 2600 games and many 7800 games. Games were in a milk crate, a plastic container made for 2600 carts, and a carrier for 8 track tapes.
Did you take any pictures of the battered Vader?

Sorry if someone already posted this.

Speaking TLoU deaths, did anyone else think Joel would die? Don't get me wrong, Joel is a great character, but when he was impaled I though Ellie would have to leave him and fend for herself.
-
Not that it isn't awesome, but I actually like the size of the 5200. It's defiantly a conversation starter.
-
I think the main reason I saw people write their names on the cartridges back in the day was if they had brothers and sisters or they lent their games out to friends.
Too bad I didn't scribble my initials on my Genesis carts.
-
58 carts for $25? Nice score.
I haven't worked with any heavy sixers so this might not help much. Make sure you're on the correct channel. Be sure to plug everything in as tightly as possible without breaking it. If the problem isn't resolved, the TIA chip in you're system is on the verge of failing. Sorry.
