  1. are there any easy ways to get games for the timex sinclair 2068 (like a multicart) as I have a working one, but can't really do much with it except basic

  2. Anyone want cloudburst and alien ambush cib (maybe nos) for 25 dollars shipped to the US

  3. anyone want a sean kelly vectrex multicart 3.0 for 50 shipped to the US, I already have one, and ended up with a spare.

      I'll take it!!   

       

      I'll PM you sometime tomorrow (Well, later today I guess) as I should be asleep now...

  4. anyone willing to trade learning fun II (cart only) for stadium mud buggies (also cart only, but with a small chip in the shell)

  5. if I only ever print black and white labels, in black and white mode, why am I running out of cyan?

      My printer says my color and b&w carts are empty but I've printed like 20 pages since then and it's still printing well... lol

      My ~20-year-old Brother laser printer is still going strong.  They can pry that thing from my cold, dead hands.  It's a little smudgy, and sometimes pulls in two sheets of paper instead of one, but it still works.  I've had good luck with Epson WF-36x0 series as far as color inkjets go, but they replaced them with worse models so I hope mine last a long time.  Not expecting 20 years, though...

      Printers love to work in cym-Black mode rather than true black only. Uses more ink. Driver settings often conflict with application settings. Then the default to cym-black happens.

       

      And more profit is made because of that!

       

       

  6. Annual new years eve party with the kids this year, The odyssey 2 running smithereens is an excellent party game

  7. finished up Christmas by driving around and looking at Christmas lights around town.  I think it might actually be my wife and daughter's favorite part of the day

      I used to do that too...Usually when I was younger when my mom was still with us,...But also a few years back with my aunt and my Dad...It is fun.

  8. This is by far the most excited I've been for Christmas since I was a kid, my daughter is finally old enough to be excited l.  I can't wait to see her reaction. In the morning.  Plus one of the family friend kids is a huge transformers fan and bumblebee is his favorite character,  I got him a masterpiece bumble bee, I bet his jaw will hit the floor 

  9. are there any cheats for stay frosty 2, as those later levels are a bear

  10. does anyone actually like the set aside tabs feature of internet explorer, I mean totally not internet explorer, edge?  though I guess you have to use the program before you can be annoyed by the feature

      I only use Edge for having web based apps pinned on my Start menu, but that's about it.  That's what happens when MS focused more on their web browser than improving the app selection in the Microsoft Store...

  11. serious business

      actually they are the same game, outlaw was atari's release and gunslinger sears, basically the question was which cover do you prefer.  Gunslinger does have a picture label, it is just fairly hard to find, and like much of the sears art, AWESOME!

      Quick story on the game, there was a "fastest completion" on one of the target shoot tracks, and someone figured out you could slip past the barrier in the middle and just start nailing the target, was pretty funny, but totally stunk up the track.

      :)

  12. just got the  email advertising the new releases on the  store, jokes on Al, I already bought a bunch of them

  13. currently leaving positive feedback to all my ebay transactions, if ebay wants people to leave feedback, why is the process so tedious?

      Maybe they figure you'll appreciate it more if you have to work for it.  ?

      Probably the worst game for the Colecovision along Word Feud. Now I think I missed the chance to list all games in a table sorted by score in my Colecovision book.

  19. just found a galaga marquee and a game boy advance store display sign! keeping the marquee, but the gba sign is up for offers

      How are you always finding stuff?    ?

    2. masschamber

      masschamber

      keep an eye on craigslist/facebook market/ 3 thrift shops on my way home from work, good garage sale area, plus I talk about things as much as possible, you'd be surprised home many people that have stuff they just store out of the way but will quickly sell if you ask

  20. controversial opinion, the collectorvision phoenix is the best way to enjoy colecovision games

      or removing approximately 67.4 billion ram chips or dealing with a psu roughly 8 times the size of the sun

  21. Alright, my phoenix arrived today, now to find out what that mystery cart is!

  22. my daughter asked me "where is my chip puller?" today (she has been helping me refurbish/repair 2600s) for the last few days and I let her pull the bad ics but I still have her use the chip puller just to practice doing things correctly. 

  23. good news, I found my gakken tv boy!

  25. microsoft  must be desperate with the xbox brand, they're giving away there ultimate game pass like candy.  I got a free month, and when I redeemed the code they gave me another free month to turn on auto renew, which I promptly turned off
