Well damn.. that just burst my bubble 🤣

As already said.. AA should really have had ads a long time ago. It's a great site with a great community. I would hate to see it close because the cost becomes too great to operate it. I fully support the use of ads (and as already been said above.. almost every page uses them.) Al, I thank you for your continued efforts to keep this wonderful family together.

I've gotten a little "click happy" before and accidentally clicked on one. Does that count?

If you need another one Best Electronics has some nice ones that actually work

I’ve been out of the loop and only recently found out about these. They had two display models in Walmart (though one had the the panel enclosed in a plastic case and some asshole ripped off the stick on the other). The looked sturdy enough and with a base (bought or made) would probably help the height issue. Anyone have any thoughts on the overall quality? My fiancé’s daughter LOVES Galaga and we were thinking about getting the 1up cabinet. CK

Thunderdome... at work I was once asked how to handle a hypothetical conflict between two employees... I answered thunderdome... two go in only one comes out. The boss was not impressed

Trying to educate people and introduce them to a side of the internet they’ve likely never seen before? You evil bot! I’ve not experienced that much hate from posting a telnet address, however the people don’t seem to understand that a terminal program is needed.

When I was a wee lad I had Mario 3 pajamas Does that count? Now I have a Nintendo and Atari shirt (general systems) and a Tempest and a Zork themed shirt

I got my Atari 800XL about 6 months ago. Enjoyed playing with some basic programming and a couple carts that were included in the sale. Last night I hooked it up to my main system with SIO2PC (got one of those nice USB devices from AtariMax). Watching my Atari and old CRT TV run through different programs and connect to a BBS through it... brought me back to the old days hanging out with my grandma while she was connecting to QLink on our Commodore 64 Now just gotta get BBS Express set up and start running my board off of the Atari

... and broke down last night and ordered an Atari Jaguar from eBay

My purchases today (mostly from eBay) Another Slik Stik controller Two repair kits for my 5200 controllers SIO2USB device Smart Terminal cart for my 800 PacMan Collection (bought this from our store. 😁😁)

Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was too late!

As usual.. I'm late to the party. I'd like to join! I was just telling my fiance earlier today that (despite the hate for the system on the Internet) it is actually a really awesome console. True you may have to fix the controller or buy another one or two. But other than this annoyance. it's a really nice system.

Nice collection there! Welcome to the site!!

Dang! I'd demand my money back of file a claim or something from them. That is terrible. I am always worried when I order off ebay.. but have been pretty lucky so far (with the exception of one item.) Negative ratings!!

Thought at looking at a few of the BSG games that are out (I'm a HUGE BSG fan... (the 1978 version preferably... but I'll take the reboot or even Galactica 1980 over most things on TV now.) It's too bad that the game is twitchy. I'm currently working on mission design for a few custom mission on the Diaspora Freespace 2 total conversion for some friends of mine... wait I don't have any friends. Definitely recommend that if you're a BSG fan.

I would like to participate this year!

Oh man... I wish I had the money to have gotten in on that auction.

Hows the BSG game?

Here is the small collection I've captured over the last almost two years. Just the systems right now. I'll add pictures of the games later. (This one is my personal favorite. )
