  1. Need to calculate shipping. How much does an Atari game in box weigh?

  2. Poor Octav1us and for that matter poor Horace. 😞

  3. Took the Lynx to Montreal for the weekend.  Perfect travel companion and built like a tank!

      Wow you were right by my old office. We moved 2 weeks ago.

      I would recommend RetroMtl in the eastern parts of town. Souffle Dans Cassette (translated: Blow in the Cartridge), but they're in the northern Suburbs so you'd need a car to get there. The owner is one of those really stand-out, outstanding, receiving-the-town-key type dude and I love doing business with him. That says a lot because I'm the kinda game-collector-chaser that never wants to pay the price ppl ask for their games.

      There's this weird-ass shop called A to Z Electronics that has piles, nay, TOWERS of old electronics all over their store floor and this includes old vidya games.

      I can DEF recommend hitting ArcadeMtl (downtown), which is a retro-arcade/bar situation. There's another bar on Ste-Catherine st. with a "gaming flavor" called the Scorpion bar, I don't like the place much but that's just personal taste. And the only arcade joint with modern machines is Amusement 2000, also downtown.

      Also, if you do come to Montreal semi-regularly I would advise joining the CCJVQ facebook page. It's all mostly french but it's the biggest collector group in the province and they hold swap meets 4 times a year. Last one was on September 21st so you could maybe have made it there! I had a table there and you could have scored big on cheap SNES games and I had some uncommon Coleco and Atari 2600 games in box

  5. I have an item listed on my Google Calendar app for today -- "topper". I forgot what the heck I meant by that when I added it to my To Do list (I use the calendar app for my To Do list). I don't own a truck, so I don't need a topper/camper. It means something, but I don't remember what. I need to be more verbose in the future.

      Final Fight 3 is quite refined and a true gem on the SNES.

       

      I like the 2 Capcom D&D beat 'em ups and the 2 medieval beat 'em ups on SNES

       

      As for the rest, every. Konami. beat 'em up. arcade. game. All of them.

      @Shawn The Federal law is fine, but they let Provinces set up their own rules and my province in turn decided that it's municipal governments that'll make their rules. So basically there are different régulations every time you drive 20km and some places already decided that it will be forbidden to smoke it anywhere even if cigarettes are allowed, forbidden to be high in public, forbid to grow plants for any use; personal or commercial, allow landlords to forbid cannabis smoke fr...

  9. Just got finished watching Star Wars: Episode 1 The Phantom Menace. That Jar Jar Binks is such a delightful character. I'm sure he was loved by all when the movie came out.
