  2. Is it just me or is the Atari image "copy/pasted" onto the shirt image with some sort of photo software. I understand they don't want to make up a hundred shirts of all different colors and sizes if they won't sell, but at least make one to have a stock photo of.
  3. ***SOLD*** Thanks to all who were watching and bidding!
  4. Last BUMP. Less than 12 hours left. Thanks for looking.
  5. That's my guess too. I think the green circle is just a sticker. But it's definately the European Atari pad. I got one off Ebay a while back just to have one, but the directional pad sucks compared to one like Nintendo's for the NES.
  6. I can't believe that modded ColecoVision went for so cheap. All of mine sold for $199.95 or more.
  7. Just a quick bump, less than 1 1/2 days left!!!
  8. It's too much work, and the console is already packed up, sorry.
  9. Less than 2 days untill the entry deadline. Entries will be accepted untill 11:59 EST Sunday 11/14/04.

  15. Let's not forget the original side-scrolling, kick-some-ass, fighting game; Double Dragon. The genesis port is very accurate.

Third Place Winner will receive: 1- “Ping Pong” ColecoVision game cartridge (cartridge only (not available for sale)). The Contest The contest will be in the spirit of the ancient game of “Roshambo” (Rock, Paper, Scissors). Entrants will be matched up in head-to-head competitions, in a series of “best-of” rounds. Each player will submit their set of 5 throws for each round in an attempt to win the most of five games. The winner will then be advanced to the next round of tournament play and the loser will be eliminated. In the event of a tie, the players will be notified, and required to submit a new set of throws for that round. Once players reach the semi-final round the tournament heats up. The semi-final round will be a “best-of-7” series, with the winners advancing to the finals. In the final round the two combatants will submit their throws for a “best-of-9” final match. The Rules All players will have one week from the start of the contest to register at OpCode Games and submit their name, address, and e-mail address for entry into the tournament. Entry submissions should be sent by Private Mail to “Eduardo”. Once officially entered, they will be assigned a password and all throws will be submitted through Private Mail at OPCODE Games.com. In the first round, players will be randomly drawn to determine their spot in the tournament and who they will be playing against. In the event of an odd number of contestants, some players will randomly be awarded a “bye” round and an automatic win for the opening round. When all contestants are notified of their entry status, they will submit their set of 5 throws for that round. The winners will be notified and will advance onto the next round where they will have 3 days to submit their set of throws for the next round. Tournament play will continue like this until the semi-final round where players will submit their set of 7 throws, and the final round where players will submit their set of 9 throws. In the event of a tie in any round the contestants will be notified and will have 2 days to submit a new set of throws for that round. If a player fails to submit a set of throws for either a round or a tie-breaker within the allotted time frame he/she will forfeit that round and their opponent will advance onto the next round. The Game The game Roshambo is an ancient yet simple game in which each player “throws” a sign for either “Rock,” “Paper.” or “Scissors” in an attempt to best their opponent. While each sign is powerful, each has its weakness: Rock crushes Scissors, but can be covered by Paper (Rock beats Scissors, but loses to Paper) Paper covers Rock, but can be cut by Scissors (Paper beats Rock, but loses to Scissors) Scissors cut Paper, but can be crushed by Rock (Scissors beat Paper, but lose to Rock) In the event of each player throwing the same sign in a game, during a round, the result is called a “Stalemate” and no player is awarded a point for that game. Contestants submit their set of throws in the order in which they wish to play them, and the winner is determined by whoever wins the most throws for that round. Example: Player 1 – Rock, Rock, Paper, Scissors, Paper Player 2 – Rock, Scissors, Rock, Paper, Scissors. Throw 1: Stalemate Throw 2: Player 1 – Rock crushes Scissors Throw 3: Player 1 – Paper covers Rock Throw 4: Player 1 – Scissors cut Paper Throw 5: Player 2 – Scissors cut Paper Player 1 wins 3-1 and advances to the next round! Terms and Agreement Contestants must be 18 years or over. Only one entry per person. Employees of Viking Video Games, OPCODE Games, and/or its subsidiaries, affiliates, advertising, promotion and fulfillment agencies and members of their immediate families or those with whom they are domiciled are not eligible to enter. Register at: http://WWW.OPCODEGAMES.com and submit entry through Private Mail to Eduardo
  18. I don't know what has happened to the supply of ColecoVision power supplies. About this time last year when I was amassing consoles to mod and sell I got a bunch of them real cheap, but no power supply. Ebay had a ton of power supplies, at least 10-20 at any given time. I picked up a bunch of them for around 5-7 dollars each, including the Canadian style power supplies that has a cord on each side of the power brick so that it doesn't cover more than one electrical outlet. I've probably got around 8-10 extra power supplies if anyone really needs one.
  19. I bought that the day it came out and played it non-stop untill I beat it. I can'r remember how long it took. I wanna say about 30 clock hours, but that might have been another RPG. I always said that I'd go back and be the super ass-hole from the dark-side, but too much work.
  20. My sisters and I had an Atari 2600 when I was a kid which we all played. My mom loved and was the queen of Centipede which we had the trackball for. My dad was awesome at Asteroids, Breakout, and Super Breakout. One of my sisters currently owns a PS2, while the other owns a XBOX. My aunt had a Sega Master System, and a TG-16 when each was new. I currently own a little bit of everything.
  21. It's actually up to 37 1/2 cents ($0.375) per mile.
  22. If i would've thought or known about overclocking it I probably would have, maybe on the next one.
