  1. I betcha he has a light sixer, and is thinking his has struck it rich! I have my money on a light sixer myself. At least we may prevent another Ebay auction with a starting price of $250 for an 2600?
  2. I would say a 4 switch woody in like new shape in the box (but open) would get you $35 on a bad day and $65 on a good day on Ebay. Heavy Sixer would be worth much more in that condition, but if you have a CX-2600A sounds like you have a 4 switch.
  3. I am so underestimated around here. Just wait for my snipe suckas! (Does anyone want to give me 8 grand for the hell of it? I promise to give you back anything I don't spend. Thanks.)
  4. What was the turnaround time? A little over two weeks. There was a little back and forth on the whole Money Order thing that took some time. It wasn't the smoothest transaction, but I got the games in the end.
  5. What he said. And actually, but the time I get around to playing it, I figure Mass Effect will be out and that will be a time eater for sure. I imagine I will be playing this in the late spring / summer new video game lull.
  6. Finally picking one of these up. Great price. Wife is hooking me up for Christmas. Dark Tower on the Vectrex! FINALLY!
  7. $8 ? That's way low IMHO. I think $20 is a fair price, no?
  8. Got my games today and I am thrilled. Really nice job. The plastic covers were an awesome bonus. Thanks a ton!
  9. I got my items a few days ago. I am on east coast too if that helps.

    My latest haul

    Anyone who doesn't think this is a good deal is crazy. Tell you what, I will go over what he paid for a MUCH lower amount of games that way everyone who says this deal is no good can really make a profit. I will pay anyone $325 (which is at least $25 more than he paid) for the JUST the following: Subterranea CIB Private Eye CIB Crypts of Chaos CIB Star Strike CIB Pitfall II CIB Fathom CIB Pressure Cooker CIB SQ Waterworld CIB QBert's Qubes CIB Ghost Manor CIB Quick Step CIB Pengo CIB Loose Mr. Do's Castle. Please start flooding my pm box with offers. I get a bunch of boxed games I need and you get a huge profit! I will start refreshing my inbox now. I can PayPal immediately. This is NOT first come first serve. I will pay to whoever wants to send me this lot of games for $325. (Qubes, Montezuma and Waterworld are worth at least $325 on a bad day alone.) Congrats man! You got the deal of the year. AWESOME find.
  11. Got this from GameFly last week. I really like it right now, but can see me growing bored. Enough with the dogs already... The graphics are really slick. I love the robot and wish he would still follow me as a sidekick.
  12. I would like Pete Rose, Sneek n' Peek, Space Jockey and Code Breaker please. (Posting here per instructions. Will PM too.)
  13. Let's play a fun uber fictional game of morals, which this game's storyline may or may not be like (but I bet I'm close): Let's say you were making the final pickup of weapons grade uranium. They have been storing it and stockpiling it at an unknown location for months. After the pickup, you are finally trusted enough to be taken to that location. While picking up the last batch, the group you have infiltrated has decided to make a statement and kill civilians on the way to the pickup. Let's say the expected casualties of innocent civilians would be 50 to 100 people. Blowing your cover would not lead you to the warehouse. Their operation goes off succesfully and they use dirty bombs to kill millions of people in the worlds most populated cities. Keep your cover and you may have to kill civilians, but in the end you find the warehouse, get all the intelligence you need and call in a surgical strike to take out the entire operation. What do you do? Mr. Spock taught us that the needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few. Jack Bauer and Tony Almeda do it all night long on 24. The Departed is another movie that covers this as well. Reservoir Dogs is another moral film about how far an undercover cop will go. It's a moral question we see all the time in movies and television. Once it gets put into a video game everyone gets uptight?
  14. I don't think there will be "points" either way. On the contrary, I bet there will be an acheivement awarded if you can get through the level without killing any innocents and still proving you are on their side. (Firing and missing?) It looks like it is going to leave the moral and ethical choice up to the player. We will see in a few weeks.
  15. I think the developers definately push the envelope to far when they have to add in terrorists attacks to actual game play. what ever happen to just creating a game to have fun. my idea of fun is not that of killing innocent people in the game play. look back to pong where poeple created a game to simulate say table tennis or air hockey. great concept felt almost real, but does it take a sick and twisted individual to come up with the idea of killing civilians in what can be called real to life gameplay. who wakes up one days and says i wish i could simulate the killing and mass murder of several..sure it might make a good movie..but to play as the killer and kill and kill and kill....hmph I doubt this will have good press when it comes out... Once again, you aren't playing as a senseless killer as in GTA. You are undercover a la Jack Bauer who has to play along with the terrorists to infiltrate deep into their cell. It causes a moral dillema of having to kill innocent people to save the lives of thousands or millions. I think it will be interesting to play a spy that has infiltrated a terrorist organization. I understand the concept of 'it's only acceptable to kill aliens and nazis in video games' but this is an interesting story line. I would play the level where I would fire and miss the innocents and hope the terrorist don't notice or assume I'm a bad shot. I enjoy video games because it lets me experience things I will never be able to do. That varies from playing professional sports, rolling up sushi and planets into a giant ball and becomming a super badass undercover agent.
  16. The story line is that you have infiltrated the terrorist organization as an undercover agent and must act as one to prove you are one of them. This brings up an interesting situation where many police, marshalls and agents go undercover and have difficult choices to make. If you can save thousands or even millions by infiltrating a terrorist organization, how far would you go if you have to kill innocent civilians? I think the level of this game poses an interesting moral question. It's the old Spockism - the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. GTA gives you the ability to shoot whoever you want for whatever reason. At least in this version of COD, there is a story line that calls for this. It is not just killing innocents for fun like GTA, but a difficult situation that you, as an undercover agent, must deal with.
  17. This is why he's hot. (you rule mr. ax)
  18. Proud owner of this game as well. This game has easily gotten the most play on my 2600 out of any other game in the last few years. Usually I will pop a game in (like Tunnel Runner, Yar's Revenge, etc.) and play for a bit out of nostalgia or for some quick fun. Dungeon is making me play the 2600 again like I did when I was a kid. It's brilliant!

    Perfect Raiders

    So after watching that, I learned that I did beat Raiders in my youth, I just didn't realize it... hmmmph...
  20. I woul like beef drop please. Only have iPhone and can't pm. If not already taken though I definitely want it. Thanks.
  21. Barcode (when it was open) has you walk into a street level entrance, but everything was in the basement of the place. You had to go down a couple flights of stairs. It did not look too much like a train or subway statino though.
  22. That's hilarious. It looks like they just stuck a car stereo and an Atari 2600 into it.
  23. You're not talking about BarCode right by Times Square (42nd) are you?
  24. This game is exactly why god created GameFly.
  25. I just looked through the list and the games that are in boxes are listed as such. Nice! Really great price too.
