Hello all, I am modding a Wii for my kids for Christmas. We have an Atari 2600 set up in the play room and it has been a hit. One just turned 5 and the other 3 and I think we can safely broaden the exposure to NES games, so... If anyone can direct me a to a good set of NES ROMs it would be much appreciated. Not interested in hacks, mods, homebrew or obscure famicom-type stuff. A solid compilation of officially released US games would be rad. I can curate from there. Thanks!

I am sad because the game looks awesome, but I cannot afford this luxury. Somebody throw a rock at me if the price drops.

WOW! Someone's underwear is too tight today. Here is a list of my own: 1) I only just joined your precious forum two days ago. 2) Was the Comic Book Guy on the Simpson's based on you? If you read your post with that voice, it sounds just like him. 3) I didn't post to be popular. I am popular enough with my newly found Air Raid cart. Which I now wear on a gold chain around my neck. Nerd Bling! Air Raid is super common and is so much worse than Pac-Man... I recommend you destroy it with a hammer and post a video for us all to see

I was happy the day I found out my Sega Saturn Alien Trilogy disc opened in iTunes!

Tempest for Jaguar is a personal favorite. Also, I kept my old Descent II PC discs because Ogre and Mark Walk (Skinny Puppy/Ohgr) did the soundtrack. I have a couple more but these are the only ones worth mentioning.

I've been looking for loose cartridge cases as well. I have my Chase the Chuck Wagon in two sandwich size ziplocs, LOL. It's not that pretty to look at but keeps the dust out I guess. For loose carts I use bags that I found in the craft section at Wal Mart. I guess they're supposedly used for beads or other small crafty things, but they snugly fit Atari 2600 carts and more loosely fit Intellivision carts. They were super cheap, too (about $3)...though I don't remember how many came in the package.

Nice... which size comic bags fit the Atari 2600 games best without a lot of slack? I like the thicker "shell" type in the first response but to be honest the games are probably equal to or less valuable than the covers Hmm. I can't remember off hand. I just moved so most of my 2600 stuff is in boxes. I'll have to see if I can find the package of bags I have and get back to you. I'm 90% sure that I use paperback sized bags though. I know moving is a pain, but if you get a chance to confirm the paperback size that would be great. I'd like to place an order and get these organized, but I don't have a local comic shop where I can specifically test bags/games. Thanks again

Has anyone seen this sell recently? I'm curious about the actual value for a cart in like new condition with box and manual in very fine+ condition. I have the Video Game Collector price guide, but that has never been accurate... (I only use it for a checklist!)

So I just dropped by because I thought I remembered collecting supplies being in the store, but I can't find them. I recently came into possession of a significant number of boxed 2600 & 7800 games and would like to get some plastic bags/covers for them. Does anyone know where I could find such a thing, or what might work best? Currently I keep my boxed NES games in ziplock freezer bags because they're the perfect size, but Atari games are just slightly too big. I'm not above re-purposing in such a way if anyone knows something that will work that I can pick up at a local store. Sorry if this has been covered recently!

Ahoy-- I'm looking for a walkthrough/map for the 2600 homebrew text adventure Dark Mage. Wasn't sure what forum was most appropriate, but thought someone here might be able to help. Thanks Rev

I have one game for my Vectrex (Asteroids), but I can't play it because my only controller is broken. Bummer. And my 5200 has a slew of games but the controllers suck *so bad*.

If AtariAge counts as commercial, then yes...I did the artwork and logo for Marble Craze. I also did an illustration for Go Fish (attached, copyright 2005 Daryl Litts Design) that I never posted, but wish that I had...I didn't check the site for a while and just missed the deadline. That's what I get for neglecting AA.

I think this is awesome except for the face graphics...I could live without the "P.A.M." across the front. Modular skins would be great so you could choose different color schemes... I wish I could afford one right now!

Hi all, I have a TON of old comics, mostly from the mid-80s to early 90s, and some from the 70s. I want to get rid of them ALL, but don't want to do it on eBay. SO, since I'm willing to trade them for video games I don't have (all systems from Atari to GameCube), I figured I'd give my brethren on AtariAge first dibs. If you have a comics want list, please email it to me with your trade list of video games and we'll work something out! Thanks

I use the entire Adobe Creative Suite 2.0. With Marble Craze I only used Illustrator, but these days I use a mix. My submission for Start-O-Gems used Illustrator and InDesign, but I did have a label for Go Fish that I did in Photoshop. As a graphic designer these are the only programs I trust to work in consistently, but low-tech works fine. When I first started learning graphic design, we used a program similar to MS Paint on Atari computers! Daryl

I tried selling it on eBay but I never got paid. It is clean and does work. It is in excellent condition, showing only very minor storage wear. It is missing the end label, but I put a temporary label on it just so I could tell where it was on my shelf. You can remove it easily if you wish to replace it. I'd like to trade for games of similar rarity. Please send me your lists. Daryl

The game looks so fun--I can't wait to play it; I put it on my x-mas list so I think my gf is preordering it I keep checking back to see which label style gets picked for the game, but alas...no word. Is there an official release date set?

Do yourselves a favor and don't buy anything from "America.United (america.united@gmail.com)" on eBay. I paid them $230 US over a week ago to get a Pink Nintendo DS for my fiance for Christmas. They had 46 of when I purchased it. I know because they were selling around 50 and I was watching them sell. Just today I received an email saying that they are "out of stock", after I emailed them twice to yell at them since they charged me a ridiculous $20 for shipping and never sent me anything. Bull. How do they run out when there are 40-something left *after* I bought mine, and I paid immediately by PayPal! I suspect he sold it to someone who offered him more money after I bought it. Then he threatened to leave negative feedback if I left a negative for him... Since eBay allows such arseholery to go unchecked, I just figured I'd get this off my chest in some sort of minor revenge for ruining my honey's Christmas. So PLEASE, as a favor to me, do not buy anything from the jerk known as America.United on eBay. Thanks for your time, Rev

I didn't read through the whole thread but I'm curious if there will be a winner chosen from the entries submitted prior to the deadline. It didn't sound like any were quite what the programmer was looking for. Mine is the second from the top on the entries page. I'd like to say that I can alter the font style or any other elements if it is chosen; all drawing and effects were generated in vector format so everything is completely editable.

Atari Video Cube for the 2600, very nice, working condition but missing end label: Atari Video Cube on eBay Thanks for looking. Also selling some old Robotech and other vintage/collectible stuff. Any questions, just ask! Rev

Video games are an escape from life, not a replacement for it...take care of your real-world stuff first...we'll still be here!

Yeah read the top post on this page. 936961[/snapback] Indeed, but also note the date of the entry and when "this very weekend" would have been hehe
