  1. At least it looks like he cleaned out most of crap he had taking up space in almost every room. Oh, and the literal dog crap all over the floors! It doesn’t look like he is doing much work up in that room with the ceiling fan anymore. I don’t see all the equipment he had up there in those realtor pictures. His mom must be so proud!
  2. I guess I’m a liar too! I always wondered if doing things differently moved you up higher on the pedestal and what was the highest you could get.
  3. https://intellivision.com/shop/running-man-slate-drink-coasters-dpj5c-rtbl4-j7gk8 I think this version sums up this whole fiasco…..why so sad Amico?
  4. I would love to see the following: 2600 A Superman enhanced version Star Raiders Raiders of the Lost Ark 7800 Robotron with dual joystick holder Pie in the sky A full version of Gato prototype 7800 version of Imagic Microsurgeon 7800 version of Star Wars Arcade
  5. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions so fast! I’m not concerned with being in line to get these firsts, I can wait, lol. Knowing that they will be available after the pre-order window through Atari, AtariAge, and Amazon and such will allow me to space out my purchases and not have to buy everything at once. I see that the compatibility list looks to be very promising ( at least the Atari published games ) from the initial list. Very few “fails” and a lot less “untested” due to the efforts of Ben, yourself, and some AtariAgers that brought games to PRGE. Also, congrats on the whole Atari acquisition and becoming an official Atari employee. All the years and time you have poured into this site to make it what it is today has paid off for you. I can’t think of anyone better to be their historian (well maybe other than Curt..RIP).
  6. So what is the deal with the pre-orders? Will the 2600+, the CX-40+, and the CX-30+ paddle controller bundle be available after the pre-order window, or are these all limited run items? Is there an advantage to pre-ordering these items? Is the price going to be more if these are available after the pre-order window? Having been bit in the ass by the Amico fiasco I’m a little Leary of pre-orders and I would rather wait to purchase once these hit retail if that is going to happen.
  7. I’m pretty sure it was mentioned by Tommy many times that he had never consumed alcoholic beverages. Something about after seeing what his “cousin” Steven went through kept him away from the sauce. Add that his pile of scamming lies.
  8. Just wondering if a grading company would down grade it due to the stickers. Any thoughts or experiences with grading companies?
  9. Well at least you have the pictures to show them, and from the ones you posted back then of you and your friends it looks like you guys (and girls) had a lot of fun times down there. Life sometime gets in the way and priorities change.
  10. Ha! I remember back in (what, 2006) when you posted about finishing this game room! I also remember those metal Space Invaders you have on the ceiling (which must have been after 2006 because those original posts didn’t have those). Unfortunately I never snagged any when you where producing them. What is in that game room now that you got rid of the arcade cabs? Also, as others have stated, this is an entertaining thread. Prices have caused me to stop collecting Atari since I was only trying to get sealed boxes. Maybe the loose method is the way to go!
  11. X=user(1536), speaking of tacos, I just noticed 913 S Broadway, LA……I see what you did there! Looks like a great hole in the wall!
  12. I call foul! Religious dig, CPUWIZ moderate yourself!!! LOL! ?
  13. I don’t think that is going to happen. Someone stated a page or so ago that their Kevlar pre-order was canceled if I am not mistaken. I’m along the lines of this was something that they were hoping would court someone to buy them out and when it didn’t do that they had to put something out. The backers are going to be the only ones that get these and possibly any Walmart/GameStop pre-orders that didn’t get canceled. I would be very surprised if they crank out any more to put on store shelves.
  14. I think you are right about that....
  15. It is a shame that we tragically lost Curt Vendel. Before he passed away I remember him stating in the Taco thread that he had some info but couldn’t talk about it at the time. I would have loved to hear what he had to say about his dealings with them.
  16. If it shows up there I’d buy it for $50. But here’s the thing, the only way it shows up in places like Big lots is it is liquidated by other retailers. For that to happen other retailers have to have had it on their shelves. The only units that have been produced are Indigogo backers and Walmart and GameStop preorders. Has their been any sign that retailers have ordered any units for their stores?
  17. ? ? ? ?. No posts here in almost a month and the last few pages were about Linux and the Raspberry Pie. The VCS is really setting the world on fire! I guess it will really take off once it hits the retail selves.....oh wait, that is never gonna happen.
  18. Just to correct you, RPi 3B and 3B+ both have onboard WiFi and Bluetooth, no extra hardware needed. I would say these would be the minimum spec models to use for any decent emulation.
  19. Of course there are games for the VCS. In reality the VCS has the ability to run thousands of games any low end (and cheaper) PC can run if someone wants to add an external drive and a Windows license to it and boot to the sandbox. We really do not need a thread for every low end PC game out there.
  20. Sounds like you really should pre-order an Intellivision Amico! It will have more reimagined Atari classics on it than the VCS.
  21. Just an FYI, the Epic Games store free game this week is Roller Coaster 3 Complete Edition......
  22. And do we know if a Linux version exists today? The Wiki for Tempest doesn’t mention a version for Linux.
  23. Has this even been confirmed by Llamasoft??? I guess this can be loaded in sandbox under Windows, but isn’t exactly a launch title since the Windows version has been out since 2018.
