  1. That was a pack in for the Coleco Gemini! I like getting those cause I have one. They aren't super common, but otherwise it's no different than any other copy of the game.
  2. Thanks Yanbu! That side really looks like a mail circular, and I would lean Montgomery Ward after seeing it, they seemed to have nicer things like silver plate than Penny's.
  3. And now I totally regret it. Plus side, I remember why I hate forums. Almost never anything nice being said.
  4. I'm being to regret posting this topic at all...
  5. It has a J next to the page number, Anyone know of the significance of that? Maybe it was part of a circular with multiple stores advertising, like Green Tab. I'd love to see the other side just out of curiosity.
  6. I'm only 28, so I missed all of Atari, but one year my Mom got my Dad a Flashback system as a gag gift, but I was interested in the old games. I found them more enjoyable than the Nintendo 64 games of my cousins. Years later I bought my own original Atari and some games, from there I found it amazing that the history of the system and games was so easy to find, and I have stayed interested. The community here has helped too.
  7. I say A because stickers aren't cheap.

    Odd label

    So I just found this Grand Prix blue label. It looked odd to me but I couldn't put my finger on why, then it hit me, its on wrong! I bought it, and now can't help but wonder how rare/uncommon this is. I'm also curious how hard it would be to remove a label from an Atari cartridge, as I've never attempted it before.
  9. From the album: Random

  10. Huh, glue stick for the win then. May have to try that again sometime. Maybe use a good brand.
  11. Really? I used a glue stick once, and it like soaked and shown through the label.
  12. I use just small dabs of a PVC super glue in drops on the cartridge itself. Very very, little. That stuff presses out so far, but holds forever.
  13. I would try that hair dryer first. And on a very common game, like Pac man, so if it doesn't work, it's no big loss.
  14. Why not plug it into the console and see if you recognize the game?
  15. ...please tell me you're going to do some third party games too.
  16. Eh...for most maybe, but I like the look of the console too.
  17. Cool! I like getting those when I can to go with my Gemini.
  18. 100% support. Maybe do customs in the future too. Like initials or the Fuji maybe.
  19. Hang up on the wall next to the 2016 Electoral College Map. XD
  20. Not sure if you meant that to be as sarcastic as it sounds, but if those are all original, how did you get so many?
  21. Put a drinking straw in the indent then mark it where the top of the ridge is. All the CX-10s I have seen have the disk level with that ridge. Also, I would be interested in a repo disk, my CX-10 is just for display, and not playable.
  22. I actually like my Gemini. That said, mine was $60 complete, plus the owner's manual. So $40 for a lot of doubt? Pass. $20, eh...maybe.
  23. ....waaaaaant....want. In all seriousness, this idea is surprisingly common, and not just with video games, how many of us had or knew someone who had a T.V. with a VCR in it? I own a flat screen that has a built-in DVD player right now. I heard somewhere that there was even a T.V. with a CD-i in it!
