I'd suggest moving this to the "Wanted" forum of the Marketplace.

How are you liking it? I loved Triple Deluxe. I still have half a dozen games to burn through in my backlog but this game is definitely on my radar.

I would love an HD remaster of Super Mario Sunshine. I loved that game.

If you don't get a bite here, I'm sure someone on the Sega-16 forums would be interested. GLWS.

I remember trying Pac-Man on the 2600 on my Harmony Encore. "So is this supposed to be one of the worst 2600 games ever? How bad can it be?" Yeesh. REAL bad. Anyone else excited for the new Pac-Man game coming out soon, though?

Hope all goes well with your dog!

Jesus this thread is still a thing after all this time. I'll still never forget that other thread – "CLOSE THIS DISCUSSION OF DICK! I BROKE! thanks"

Man, awesome thread.

22-year old here, soon to be 23. My interest in Atari stems from a few interrelated factors: Lack of time. As my days grew more stressful, life got busier in college, and I got a girlfriend, the time to play longer, more involved video games evaporated pretty quickly. On a tight budget, I figured what the hell – I've always liked arcade games and shooting for high scores, and I've always enjoyed older video games, so I might as well give Atari a shot. Glad I did, too: I've gotten many hours of enjoyment out of the system that bennybingo sold to me for cheap years ago (gorgeous little 2600 Jr.) Comic books and budget. With my lack of time also unfortunately came a lack of time to read longer novels. Also, as a humanities student, I was reading upwards of 400-500 pages a week of dense material. Given how tired I was at the end of each day, I started to turn to comic books to get a bit of reading in before bed. Now I'm totally in love with the medium, and I've read many dozens of fantastic stories contained in both Western comics and manga. In turn, given this new hobby, my budget for video games also dwindled to virtually nothing. 2600 games are generally dirt cheap compared to modern video games (even 3DS games are, what, $30-$40 a pop?!) While I use a Harmony Encore now and have sold nearly all of my old carts, so I'm not a "collector," the price is great for how much content you get with the Harmony. High scores and comparative simplicity. While I still love a good story, I just don't have the time for RPGs or similarly involved, long games anymore – hence my growing interest in playing for a high score. Playing a 2600 game is so damn easy – press the "on" button, select a game from the Harmony menu, and you're off to the races with one button and a joystick. Manuals aren't even needed for many games; you can figure them out on your own pretty quickly. Well, that is, until you want to try some of the alternative game modes or really dig into the core of a game. Might have to hit up the AA manual archives for those. Overall I'd say my tastes have changed as I have grown older, and I love firing up some tunes or a podcast and playing my 2600 for an hour or two to unwind at the end of the week. Timeless fun

New item added! Going to toss it onto eBay soon but wanted to see if anyone here wants it first.

Updated price bump.

Rodea is barely played, and looking for a good home. $50 shipped CONUS. Note the tiny damage on the side of the casing. http://imgur.com/a/LCBxj Super Smash Bros Melee is being let go to help fund my increasing interest in comic books; $48 shipped CONUS. http://imgur.com/a/HmvHm If you're interested in a GameCube system to go with it (no controllers unfortunately), I can see if I can dig it up and toss it in for a $65 bundle, shipped CONUS.

The Wii U version is a pretty different game from the Wii version. As is the 3DS version. The Wii version is pretty solid, but from what I've gathered the other two versions are bad – really, really bad.

I use a Harmony for commercially-released games and I will be picking up actual carts for homebrews from the AA store.

Need some cash to help fund some recent comic book purchases, so I'm looking to sell off a couple bundles! First up: AV-modded ColecoVision system from our very own Yurkie, tested and working, complete with a pause button. Comes with AV cables and AC adapter. Asking $115 shipped within continental U.S. SOLD Next: Game Gear lot, tested and working. Pretty sure it was LCD modded, which would make the Game Gear ~$75 alone. Does not come with plastic cover that generally goes over the screen, but the screen itself is in good condition. Not interested in splitting up the bundle; great starter set! Asking $100 shipped within continental U.S. MOTHERBOARD ISSUE Pics: http://imgur.com/a/ntoiL

I'm a huge fan of Soundodger+ on Steam. Great mixture of bullet hell + rhythm game. StepMania is also solid.

I had to back out last time due to lack of cash, but these look gorgeous!
