I really don't understand where they get their prices... two auctions from the same seller: One of these is starting $12, BIN $20, and one is starting $1, BIN $5. Make up your mind which is which, then click and see that you were wrong. (Not that either should be $20.) Atari text label Slot Machine Sears text label Memory Match

That Virtual Apple thing is pretty cool-looking... none of the games will load for me, though. That may be because of the firewall here at work, though. I'll try it again when I get home. (And unless the Apple version of Maniac Mansion was much different from the C64 one, I don't think that's it.)

Ok, I have clearly died and gone to Heaven. A C64 all-in-one, in a Competition Pro style controller, with Impossible Mission, Summer, Winter, California, and World Games, Pitstop II and Paradroid? Not that I don't have the disks of all those things and a C64, but having some of my favorite games ever to carry around in a joystick? With no load times? This is too good to be true. It says October 04, but there's no info in the Where to Buy section... anyone got any more info on that? (Somehow I doubt it, but if the thing were to exist before October 10th, I could give one to my husband for his birthday... I think he might have a heart attack of happiness just for Paradroid.)

Very cool... guess I'll actually be going to the BK for a change.

That's so cool! I really hope Cherokee gets some... the Pong-playing part should make it OK (NC state law says that all the games have to have some skill element, so the regular slots are "lock and roll".)

The reason I posted this originally, and I'm sure the reason Womble bought it, was "A Special Bonus for the Atari Enthusiast is the package of over 20 computer game modules that are the internal components for many atari games". Unfortunately, it seems to have turned out to be a special SCAM for the Atari Enthusiast.

Tapper's a 6. And I've got a $1000000 bill, will you take that?

It's easy, you just give me the Boing!, the Up N Down, and the Tapper, and then you can feel OK about eBaying the rest of them. Seriously, though, you might want to list them in the Marketplace here -- I imagine you'll get some good offers.

Very nice! I especially like the Musicmate cubes for loose cart storage. I've got two, only 194 left to go to be able to do that.

I'll be 31 next week.

Argh, the day I don't check in on this forum and someone posts a C64 hard drive! Anyone else got one they want to part with?

Oh, duh... I'm so stupid. I didn't even think about it announcing the amounts. Yes, that would definitely be a bad idea. Especially given how easy it would be to mug a blind person... it's not like they know if you're lying or not if you say you've got a gun.

The bank where I use the ATM most just got a new ATM with one of those. I don't understand why they don't just put speakers on them instead of expecting blind people to bring headphones to the ATM.

Atari 2600, the Sears Tele-Games variety. I don't remember exactly what year... probably 79 or 80.

Wow... where do you keep all this stuff?? And do you keep them running, or just as giant decorations? All I have that's really "classic" is a C64, a C64C, and a Morrow Micro Decision CP/M.

Computer: C64, by far. I can't imagine how many hours I spent with my C64 in the 80s. Console: Atari 2600. My first console will always be my favorite.

Ok, you've got to be doing something really really bad to those PS2s... I know they're not the best-made things ever, but as of last week, the PS2 had existed for 46 months, and you say you've gone through over 40 of them. That's almost one PS2 a month... there's no way that even using the thing 24/7 you should have that kind of failure rate. What's breaking on them? Is it always something unfixable? Where do you come up with the money to buy a new PS2 every month and a new GCN or XBOX every other month?!?

There was an adventure game for the TRS-80 Model I called Deathmaze 5000, and if I remember correctly (it's been at least 20 years since I played it), it was first-person. A few minutes of Googling didn't turn up the release date, though it could have been as early as 1977. For any of you who might have also played it, I have a message: Invert and telephone.

That was great, thanks for posting those! (I think he was a little harsh on Keystone Kapers and Moon Patrol.)

That's it! I know why the DC failed! We were supposed to stick them in our ears and nobody told us! (Lest any fanboy think I'm dissing the DC, I'm a big fan.)

I'm surprised you haven't seen one of these... they're pretty common in restaurants/bars. It's just ordinary games like solitaire, trivia games, etc.

I agree... my favorites were Space Quest 2 and 3... I was really upset by the all-clicking VGA update of SQ1... took me forever to find the right pixel to click on for Roger's seat belt, when in the original I could just type buckle seat belt.

I think the logo for Lawry's Seasoned Salt looks even more like it than the Cinnabon one:

That makes me sad. I miss Roger Wilco.

Quite a BIN the seller has on this... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...8126129991&rd=1
