    Eventually, I say when they're able to get high speed net to *everywhere*, including the boon docks that we have here in PA that are stuck with dialup

     

    This is the reason it won't happen anytime soon. It has nothing to do with then "being able" - so long as it's left up to folks like comcast & verizon, the boonies will never have access, as it's not profitable for them to do so. It's going to take broadband being classified as a utility to make that happen.

    1: How many different titles, counting same game by different company as a different title, do you have in your 2600 collection?

    Around 1200.

     

    2: What's your favourite 2600 model? (Clones included)

    Telegames heavy.

     

    3: What are your 5 favourite games for the 2600?

    Demon Attack

    Enduro

    Kaboom! (despite the fact that I suck at it)

    Phoenix

    Fast Food

     

    4: What company made the best looking games as far as casing goes?

    Love the Tron T-handles.

     

    5: Do you still own the first system you ever bought?

    No

    6: What other game systems do you own?

    5200(2&4 port), 7800, Intellivision(1), Colecovision, Vectrex, Odyssey2, 360(although I hate it!), C64(many versions), C128/C128D and I'm certain I have a Vic-20 somewhere, but can't seem to find it as of late. Aside from the 2600 however, I've been pretty much exclusively a PC gamer for ten years or so now - I rarely touch these other systems anymore.

     

    7: Do you own any of the "adult" titles for the 2600?

    All but one.

     

    8: Do you buy games online, in the wild, or both?

    Online pretty much exclusively. The wild market around here is virtually nonexistent.

     

    9: How do you store your games?

    10: Do you have any complete collections from any maker, not including homebrew companies, for the 2600?

    Yes.

    Epic used to be my favorite developer of PC games. Since they've recently decided that I'm a criminal for being a PC gamer, they no longer have my support. Which won't bother them, I'm sure, as I don't live in their new, greener console pasture anyway.

     

    Boy, it really looks like it's financially squeezing them too. :roll: Reminds me of $100-million baseball players going on strike. Boo hoo.

     

    Really though, I think the core of what they're complaining about could be avoided if developers & publishers could reach some sort of agreement with retailers like Gamestop to have wait period on the resale of used games - say, six months after release? Not gonna happen though.

    The following is a list of games that used a trackball in the arcade:

    Reactor

    Crystal Castles

    Millipede

    Centipede

    Missile Command

    ...and there's one other I can't think of. It is blasphemy to not use a Trak Ball with these games if you have one available. Anyway...

     

    What games do you use the Trak Ball with in place of the joystick?

     

    For me:

    Fire Fly

    Sorcerer

    Fast Food

    China Syndrome

    Decathlon :D

     

    I think the real story here is: You play Fire Fly and Sorcerer? :ponder:

     

    Not anymore, because if he plays Decathlon with it, he no longer has any skin left on his hands. :)
