What is your favorite "Pitfall" game?

[What is your favorite "Pitfall" game?]

Pitfall! II 2600/5200. I love that game so much! I wish someone would do a third version for 2600.

I like how on the 5200, after collecting all of the treasures, a secret passage opens and you get to play in an all new layout.

Does anyone know if the 400 version is that way too?

[Have you ever lost sleep because you couldn't stop playing a game?]

It's happened so many times over the years that I honestly don't remember which was the worst but, taking a guess, I'd say maybe Metroid (NES) way back in the day or Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast) a few years ago.

I do remember that I'd played Sonic Adventure so much and got so tired of it that I couldn't stand anything to do with Sonic for a while after that.

The only other game I ever remember getting that obsessed with was San Andreas on PS2.

I'm sure I must've sat up until near 5 and 6 am playing that one with weird GameShark codes like taking away all of the water or making everything fly away at the touch of a button or just making CJ invincible.

[Do you primarily buy your "modern" games new or used?]

I don't have any of the latest systems so, that would be a "no" for me. However, I did have a 360 last year that I gave to my brother.

He was looking to buy a new one and since mine didn't really hold my interest and was just collecting dust anyway, I decided "Why not?"

I only bought it to play SF4 anyway.

[Do you own an arcade machine?]

Nope. Not yet. I just don't have enough room in my apartment but, hopefully when I move out, I'll have a place on a private lot where I'll have enough room to build a game room to put a few games.

I'd like to have Double Dragon, Rolling Thunder, Undercover Cops, Astyanax, Black Tiger, U.N. Squadron, Golden Axe, Time Soldiers, Contra and I'm sure there are many others that I just can't remember at the moment.

[How many Atari units do you have?]

I have a few that I've picked up here and there. Most of them are used but, the last 7800 I picked up was like new and even came with the instruction manual and the clear film still on the metal plate.

Then, there's my LYNX model 2 that I got new in the box.

 

Atari VCS (6 Switch/wood grain type)

Atari 5200

2 Atari 7800s

Atari LYNX model 2

Atari 400

Atari Flashback

Atari Flashback 2

2 Atari plug'n plays

 

I think that's it except for a couple of incomplete consoles I have laying around.

Cool! How about a close up on that pac-man stuff on the shelves?

[ccatalyst Gameroom Collection.]

Incredable! What a monsterous collection! Love the arcade! TRON, Xybots, Double Dragon... All great games.

[Scooter83's Gameroom Galleria]

A beautiful collection. I especially like the 400/800 collection. I have a 400 and have often thought about starting collecting for it but, I'm off to a rather slow start with just Pac-Man and Moon Patrol. I wasn't able to watch the video - slow connection on my part. Maybe I'll see it some time from someone elses' computer.

I'd like to build a game room some day too so I can start building up my collections again.

[At least 181 reasons to love my collection]

Wow. I've never seen so many vintage games in one thread let alone all for one system. I see you have Polaris and Jaw Breaker too.

Oh! And Gyruss too! I had a Gyruss but, I never could get it to play no matter how many times I cleaned it.
