  1. man I need to finish my attic, The Idle Hour Club (the name I gave to my gameroom) is in the finished area of the attic, but that freezing trek through the stairs keeps me from going there unless my wife's friend's kids are over. Fun Fact small children love the following classics: the marble game(marble madness), bird shoot(duck hunt), pacman's wife (ms pacman, 2600 ONLY!), waking up the robot (gyromite), and Bubble Bobble...I don't know why she hasn't given that one...

      If you build a small bar counter and install a draft beer system, you'd be more inclined to venture up there. :) Also a foosball, dart board, and an arcade version of Galaga/Ms Pac-Man (Class of 1981 mini cabinet).

      if you need the OS chip, any 600XL, 800XL or 65XE rom chip will work!

      Dear K-Mart: Don't go away mad. Just go away.

      Back before they started to suck, in the 80's our KMart actually had a pretty cool arcade inside, complete with dark carpet and no lights on, plus an interior ceiling that blocked out their fluorescent lighting...

      They used to even have their own line of decent hand tools (mostly made by USA co's). I think I have a 1/2" K-Mart wrench in my SAE box.

  6. just fixed a sega cdx, now do I sell it, keep it, or do I just sell the ac adapter and use a generic electrically compatible one

      Why would you be complaining about this if you're the seller? Unless you're also the seller of one with a BLW...I've been meaning to get one of those...

    4. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Maybe the word "complain" is harsh I guess, I mean you only asked the question...

  9. postal service lost the copy of double dragon 7800 I had coming in the mail, funny as double dragon is the only 7800 game I actively want, something I just love about how double dragon was ported all over the place

      It sucks that the seller has to pay for it, he didn't do anything wrong.

      Yeppers. Try out the Microsoft Arrow Launcher. It's simpler than the iOS interface. Very clean and logical.

  15. My friend's children came to my house on christmas morning, man nothing beats little kids at Christmas. Plus the 3 year old daughter wanted to go upstairs to the Idle Hour Club to play duck hunt, bubble bobble and ms.pacman for 2600. Fortunately for her, her older sister loves watching my Daughter.

      Kids love those awesome classic NES games. Do they like Galaga, Donkey Kong? Also, Paperboy for the NES is a hit with kids, usually.

  17. got another slime ball ebay buyer claiming something not working that is, I wonder if it is possible to find a da that would go after ebay's board of directors for aiding and abetting mail fraud

      eekBay has deep pockets and lawyers, so they can help perpetuate mail fraud without consequences.

      Yep, slimy ebay

  18. from smart buying and selling I've built a nice jag 7800 nes intellivison and colecovision collection, made money, and have 400 ebay bucks to enjoy in January, pretty happy with the results of my endeavor to make money on game collecting. Salvation army is potentially a gold mine for the next 2 or 3 weeks too.

  19. at nearing 4 years old I think my surface pro is nearing the end of its life as my computer. Pretty good run,Probably build a low end gaming pc to replace it and just use one of my current tvs for a monitor

  20. Doesn't seem fair, I work part time and stay home with the baby, My wife works full time. Plus to make it worse I work as a private tutor and buy and sell classic video games to make money. So I get to do my hobby, something that I enjoy and play with baby. She has to work hard. Not only that she loves that I'm building a collection of classic games as when she has friends over their kids play in the game room. I'm lucky aren't I?

      There's no reason you can't make money enjoying what you do. It's strange that there is this unspoken expectation in our society that work is something that shouldn't be enjoyed.

      Yep, most folks find the Jag has terrible RF output.

      I think it is console by console, some are terrible and filled with static, some are okay.

  22. anyone want to canuckify their colecovision? I have a french canadian colecovision shell if anyone is interested

  23. back up to over 30 jag games and 40 7800 games, I once again have a nice collection after selling a huge chunk when I left for Korea. Wonder if I'll ever find another apf m1000, astrocade, 3do, cdi, or vectrex

    1. save2600

      save2600

      might be selling my Vectrex, but am super hesitant on shipping. Did send one to Canada once and survived the trek. Packed the hell out of it in an oversized box of course.
