TheHoboInYourRoom

I don't really see the need for more than one, maybe two (and only if you don't know how to fix the other), systems. I have a 4-switch Woody and a Long-Rainbow Junior.

I happen to like Quadrun, and the voice only makes it better! The worst one I've ever played is Skeet Shoot. I mean, heck, Fire Fly is more playable!

Oh, wow! This new version is excellent! I love the new music! Damn the fact I have no money and no way to go there.

Well, it's good to know there's another teenager on this forum. I'm fourteen and the Atari is pretty much all mine. My brother, however, tends to hate everything that has to do with Atari and has threatened to crush my cartridges, but he never does anything. I prefer RealSports Volleyball.

That's a neat little game! Music isn't too bad, either.

I use TheOldComputer.com to get ROMs.

I was surprised also.

What about the teenagers collecting these things? That was funny about Final Fantasy, Lord Thag.

I went to Game X Change on Sunday and got these 2600 titles for less than eight and a half bucks (Thank God for Buy 1 Get 1 Free): Demon Attack (Text) Yars' Revenge (Picture) Skiing (Standard) Chopper Command (Standard) Grand Prix (Standard; defective so I'm returning it for RealSports Tennis) Othello (Text) Video Pinball (Lower-case Picture) Target Fun (Text, Red font) But, God dang it, there are so many games there I want, including one of those weird-label 1987 re-releases (but it's Home Run. Hmm.....).

Ooh, neat. I just hope they're not keeping any rare ones there.

I'd go with the latter. I mean, seriously, Freeway Rabbit?!?

Too many times. I've noticed recently there's this dude trying to sell not-very-rare games for $49 as the starting bid and with Buy It Now being $95. Now that's dreaming if I ever saw it. But, each to his own, eh?

Unfortunately, the rarest games I ever find at Game X Change are R4's, and they don't even show up often. Very good deal, though!

Wow! That's certainly an improvement over the first one. I like it a lot!

I'm also interested. The 2600 is just a frickin' neat system and It'd be awesome to learn how it works. I have no programming skills whatsoever, though. (I've had an idea for a game for a while now, but it would be WAY too sophisticated for a complete newb.)

*listens to the title music over and over again while ogling that wonderful "wave" effect* Absolutely excellent work!

Personally, I think Crystal Castles should be somewhere on there.

However, it was very clever how the programmer of Circus Atari scrunched those black lines together to be the "jump-up portal" for the clowns to come out of. Cool idea right there.

Well, this should only take about three nanoseconds SKEET SHOOT!!!!!!! Could this game have any worse graphics? Well, if my basic hacking skills have anything to say about this then, yes, yes it can.

If only I had two votes... I would have to say David Crane, mostly because I've played all his games and it's amazing he was able to pull all of this off. However, I also have to mention Doug Neubauer. I mean, c'mon! M*A*S*H and Solaris! You do know that Combat is a port of Tank from the arcades, don't you?

Technically, no. If you see any screenshots, you might notice that "IMAGIC" has been changed to "Activision." Activision and Mediagenics are the same company. They went with Mediagenics for a little while because they wanted to start manufacturing computers and wanted to be taken seriously.

That's an awesome story. Pretty freaky when the USSR contacted you. Then again, you may just be in the Twilight Zone muahahahaha. (KILL INKY KILL INKY KILL INKY.....)

I've only been a member here for a few months since I started growing my Atari 2600 collection. Don't remember how long I've been going to the site, though.

There are no flea markets or thrift stores reasonably near us that sell Atari stuff. I've only made like one Atari purchase on eBay (since I have virtually no money) and that was a 1982-release Star Ship for 99 cents . All my other findings have been at Game X Change, which has a crapload of cartridges for $1.95 each and THEN there's a Buy 1, Get 1 Free offer (which totally rocks). However, I'm pretty suspicious whenever I see an Ice Hockey cart and yes there is a story I have about that. You see, one time I went in there and got a few carts, one of which was Ice Hockey. They all worked fine except Ice Hockey. I returned it, got 2 replacement carts (when I should have only gotten 1 ), and all was good. Fast forward a month or so and I go in again to get some games. One of those was Ice Hockey. Turns out that was the SAME damn defective cartridge I'd bought earlier! Needless to say, I was particularly pissed when I found out. So my dad goes back to return it and came back with another Ice Hockey. DEFECTIVE AGAIN!!! This time I've had it. So we went back so I could get the replacement myself. Well, luckily, I'm only one of like what? 2 or 3 people that actually buys 2600 games and there was a Pitfall II cart. So I snagged The Lost Caverns and made a side purchase for a Text # Blackjack and all was good. And you thought this didn't have a happy ending . But other than that, the guys and gals over there run a good business and I'm pretty sure I'm one of the "regulars" there. One of the guys my dad works with was getting rid of his old videogames and my dad told him about how I collect these and I got 10 games, 2 of which were R4s (Bermuda Triangle and Krull). Again, all was good. *End of Blathering Line*
