I'm always hesitant to answer price questions, but I've seen a few of these sell on Ebay. In the box with all the accessories a 2600 Jr. usually sells for around $45 - $50. -Chuck

I still use my first Sunnyvale 2600, it seems to output the sharpest picture. -Chuck

Combat came with our first 2600, a Sunnyvale 6-switch. I think the first game we bought separately was Air Sea Battle. -Chuck

Excellent, I would like to see them too. -Chuck

The "wink and nod" is still with us. The version of WinXP on my new laptop is "Build 2600" -Chuck

Randy, My favorite one so far! In color too! Thanks, Chuck

Atari70's Marauder is a great game, take the time to play it awhile. It's also rare enough to be a great find. I've only found one Marauder in the wild. I only found a bizarre assortment of Atari items today. The highlight was a Sumcom Tac II joystick, I never had one before. -Chuck

Chris, One of my biggest joys in life is thrashing out Ramones songs on my guitar. The faster the better. It's a shame about Dee Dee, what a waste. Of course my video games are important too. 1-2-3-4, Chuck

I think hacks are an important part of the Atari community. Some of them, like A Better Pac-Man and Paul's amazing music added games to mention a couple are worth buying. I know there are more. Pac-Invaders (which I started in 1998) was just me playing around with the source code of coke wins to see how hard it would be to come up with a 2600 game and make the carts. I had actually intended to do a lot more with the game, but the few people I showed it to convinced me to release it as is. I sold around 23 copies of it and Randy sold more at Hozer. (I sold them at my cost, I sell enough other used games for profit.) I started experimenting with the 2600 and ended up making a (hopefully) decent game out of a relatively lame one. I think that was worthwhile. I have learned a lot about the workings of the 2600 and hope to find the time for an original game. I do have an update to Pac-Invaders in the works, with more orginal code and same new features. -Chuck

I use my webpage for the 3 Atari consoles and the Colecovision. I have an excel spreadsheet for NES. I have not recorded the other systems yet. I have a lot of SNES and PSX games, I think I'll be surprised when I catalog them. -Chuck

Canada is an NTSC country, they should be. It's Canada Day, break out the Zeller's games. -Chuck

I'll find out in a few days, The Goat Store just shipped my copy of Mr. Roboto. I thought Combat Rock was awesome, I still play it. (IMHO Combat rock was a better song.) -Chuck

I'm pretty sure I have an extra Amiga Power Stick, drop me an email -Chuck

Randy, I enjoy your comics too, thanks for doing them. -Chuck

I was #95 for the 2600. -Chuck

Paul, It looks like a lot of fun, is it possible to reserve one? -Chuck

Vicki's classic favorites - 2600 - Adventure Coleco - Ladybug (she played this for hours at a time) NES - Mario 3, Mega Man SNES - All the great RPG's + Zelda Genesis - Toejam & Earl -Chuck

Your joystick is glowing with a faint blue glow. >Hello Sailor Nothing happens here. >Verbose Maximum verbosity. >L You are standing in front of a white building. 1265 is displayed near the boarded over glass doors. You can see a mailbox from here.

I like the original Atari stick best, but they are fragile. I mostly use the virtually indestructible Suncom Slik Stik. They seem to be plentiful in the wild too. -Chuck

LOL! That made my day. -Chuck AtariAge Lurker

Without label variations, 465 for the 2600. Now I need to inventory the other systems. -Chuck

Paul, As usual, a first rate effort! I started the bidding on one. -Chuck

The Cuttle Cart is a wonderful contraption. I use it with playbin and my laptop. I would have to be in bad need of cash and sell off a lot of other stuff before I ever gave it up. It's an awesome development tool too. -Chuck

Didn't I see this in a Dilbert comic? -Chuck

There is a reference to the buried E.T. games on the Urban Legends website at Atari buries E.T. It even names the city they are buried in. -Chuck
