What is your favorite eye candy in a 2600 game?
Cobra Commander replied to Red 5's topic in Atari 2600
I loved the Yars' explosion also, the ET opener was cool to, but my favorite was the sound when you lose in Missle Command I wish I could spell it LOL, the flashing screen wasnt all that, I just loved that sound. My cousin and I would name the cities New York, LA, DC Chicago ect... and say it was the Russians attacking (80's childhood thinking). -
Agreed this stuff seems like it would be hard to resell without any games, meaby they allready have a pile o' games, checkout the 77K bid retraction.

Thats awesome, I definately want one.

Why oh Why did I wait so long??
Cobra Commander replied to Jasoco's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I thought the Namco vol 1 galaga (PSX) was cool, if you use the "turn your tv on its side" mode. This is the only port/emulation/what ever it is that I've played I dont even remember what else was on that one. I only got it for Galaga. -
I didnt play the first two, however I played GTA2 for days and days, had a ball.

I'd try to talk her down on the price just for kicks. I personaly like spoting a console at a roadside yardsale doing 65MPH (almost rear-ended a miata with my full size chevy 3500 van, once while looking).

looks good to me I talk to my dog like that all the time, he just tilts his head in confusion though.

Do you use extra common carts around your home?
Cobra Commander replied to Atari Rescue Group's topic in Atari 2600
I like to smash them with a hammer and the pee on them, or blow them up with fireworks, as I'm all out of GI Joe actoin figures. -
I think they just do basic hex math problems, wich a pain in the ass to do on paper, and not practical if you dont have a million dollar computer that runs software from punchcards or massive banks of tape drives. Its like you use a small slow computer to solve problems to make another slightly larger slightly faster computer with more features, repeat, and so on. These things were for only the biggest nerds who were into higher math and couldnt get time on a large computer at universities or large companies, and I think you could build them yourself. I learned basic microprocessor archicture and operations on an 8080, or an 8088 based trainer machine, this shit makes your head hurt if you if you think about it to hard, getting this box to blink right to pass a test.

In my area the mall stores dont have older games, there is one new one in a strip mall that carries the older games though.

I picked up a Dreamcast yesterday, with quakeIII, shadowman and Bass fishing for $60 at a pawn. This is the best fishing game I've played yet. They had like 10 of 'em for $20, couldnt pass on it. I dont think they have maxed out the capabilities of the PS2, however the dreamcast probably could have held on for a couple more years in technology, but would have lost their shirt doing it.

You gotta love people that can't spell!

I guess I'm a bit of an old schooler, I'm deffinately reluctant to try games with new features such as the strictly online games. I've naver even played a game online, LAN yes or linked consoles yes. Just havent gotten around to it yet I guess. I rarely buy a brand new super hyped-up game, of the newer games I do buy, I'll usualy wait for something that really breaks some new ground, In the game play it self, not ground shaking just something that realy gets my attention, or something super addictive. Resident Evil, GTA3, and IQ did this for me, sure I like the guilty pleasure FPS. Thinking about the RE outbreak. I like the idea of becoming a zombie when I die.

Played a demo at the store I'll wait till everybody sells theirs and get it next year for $12.

The moneys in the software. I've spent 20 times more money on software than I have on consoles.

usualy if I want a peice of furniture I just go out to the garage and start cutting wood, and it just comes to me.

I won a heavy six last month with 30 something games and extra controllers for 47$. His other auctions have pics, personaly I dont even look at no-photo auctions. Its probably a reg six, easily spoted even in a crapy photo.

Super Breakout, Boxing, Missle Command, and KABOOM!

Lost many a weekend playing earthworm jim and mortal kombat on genesis. Curently trying to get a master system. Are the 3D games any good?

The old Atari is never coming back. Atari is just a name, if I changed my name to John Holmes is my pecker gona grow, no. It costs a lot of money to get into the hardware market in manufacturing, new software development, distribution, dont forget a billion dollars for advertising. then theres competition. and last I checked the games store was full. Besides there's pretty good money in software ask Bill Gates.
