[Cabbage Patch Kids]

I got an (illegal?) copy of the game on a cart off of ebay.I need to disconnect the 7800 and play this one some more.It is not as fast paced as Pitfall, but cool anyway.

[Arcade translations]

I'm currently hooked on Ms Pac-Man and Beef Drop.

I can't seem to do any good on Galaga.It seems like the missiles don't fire fast enough to get the waves of enemies very well.

Food Fight cracks me up, especially when it goes into the instant-replay mode.

[Explosion Takes Out AtariAge [Updated]]

Withdrawal symptom's abating....

[Rare Boxed Zellers Inca Gold]

Hey, at least the writing on the back of the box is honest...

[Is NTSC and PAL Collecting the same for you ?]

I can't afford to branch out into PAL territory....

[What's the rarest Atari game you have?]

What's sad is my copy of Gunslinger also has a bad endlabel...

Also, I am not advertising anyones ebay auctions,I just happen to see that is was listed at $200.

[What's the rarest Atari game you have?]

Mine is just the cartridge of the Sears picture label version of Gunslinger.It just sold on ebay for around $200.

[RPG-style games]

Earthworld and Fireworld should be avoided,unless you like to be spectacularly disapointed.

[Well... I did it.]

I have spent hundreds of dollars to get a few boxed games to fill in those I am missing.The problem with this hobby is once you get all the common stuff, the rest gets pretty expensive and takes longer to aquire, unless you win the lottery or something.

[what is your rarest "Non cartridge"Atari item?]

Here are some controllers (on the top shelf)that have been painted that I got from e(vil)bay.

[APPLE II STARCROSS Saucer by INFOCOM SEALED NEW]

Thanks for the great trip back in time to see that again.Those were the days when packaging meant something.Too bad mine has been sitting smashed flat in some dump for over 20 years.

[Which is the better Pinball game for the 2600?]

What about Bumper Bash?

[Berzerk Arcade WIP]

If you are going to get Bender involved,"Must kill all humans!"

[ALIEN GREED II (SOLD OUT)]

Hey, sign me up for a standard edition,if that is possible at this late date.

Looks like I'm way to late for the boxed edition.

[13 Ways to Tell You're an Aging Gamer]

We should add that the young kids at the vidio game store will remind you that you are old when they call you ,"Sir."

I got my first "Sir" at age 35;that's when I knew it was downhill from there.

Should also add that we are all old enough to know that we will be keeping our old TV sets around ,once everything goes digital, just to play the old game systems.

[Do you carry credit card debt?]

Looks like a lot of responsible CC users here.

I just pay mine off every month, except for once when the USPS lost my bill one month.Thank you USPS for that $60 fine!

[Atari 2600: A great video game system? . . .]

http://www.thegameconsole.com/

Read this site to compare other units that were realeased the same year as the VCS.A few were still displaying games in black and white.

[Best homebrews?]

Since I can not program any games myself, the answer for me is, all of the homebrews are the best.

I keep getting amazed at the quality of the new/retro products being made;even some of the hacks.

[Looks like Actionauts is ready]

Sent my money also.$90 isn't much considering that a game back in the day was $69 without any 'personalized' items;hell we didn't even know who programmed them!

[Survival Run w/Cosmic Command control]

It's too bad the crash came along and killed the third game they were planning a controller for.

I've seen the ad for it somewhere on the forums here, but am too lazy to look it up...

[Actionuats price tag ?]

$100 sounds fair.

My only problem will be if you only accept pay-pal, then I won't be paying a dime.

[AA Magnets]

didn't get any with my order this year

 

Maybe it's because I ordered too much and got all the magnets and three extra...sorry!

[The most beautiful Atari 2600 game]

I've always liked the look of Demon Attack, especially those little baby demons.

 

I'm going to second this,for the back in the day game; the sound effects still ring in my ears too after all these years.

As for the newest homebrews.Stella's Stockings intro/gameselect screen blew me away.

 

Also Robot Tank and Enduro for the day and night and seasons effects were very cool back then.

[How many arcades did you have in your town growing up?]

My hometown had two 'arcades',three movie theatre arcades, and all the other eateries that had games.And that was just the north end of Fremont,CA.I'm sure there were more that my ten-speed could not get me to.

[Build your own Atari 2600 boxes]

The dark side will flood the market soon with fake boxes...........

 

BTW: That´s really good work........

 

 

Just think!!! If someone seals them up....some poor fool will buy it!!!

 

They may even leave the cart out of it....and he'll never know, because he'll never open it!!

Now you know where all those extra Combat carts are going to end up!
