[Boxed Melbourne Tatty #03]

Wish I had PayPal.All the good auction items seem to require having paypal only payment option.

I also did not get the original batch due to, you guessed it;not having a paypal account....

[Which rare Sears telegames do you own, box and all?]

I donated the scan for the picture label version of Gunslinger.I have very few boxes and am still looking to get about seven more picture label carts.I would not want to know how much money CincYnoTi has spent to get all those boxes!

[What I believe is the most undervalued Atari 2600 stuff]

For whatever reason people neglect this like a red headed step child

:rolling:

 

This reminds me of a story from many years ago ,when I got up way too early to go to work and in a still waking up daze ,I said,"Step-headed red child".Of course my boss was on the floor laughing and never forgot to remind me of the foul up.

 

Now back on topic.I am tempted to start getting Sears boxed games,just because of the different pictures on the boxes,but wonder how much it will eventually cost.I have to also agree with the Tigervision box art being very cool.About four years ago I got a boxed copy of Espial for .99!

[going back in time...where do you stop?]

Don't temp me with that mission to kill the Tramiels....I voted to go back and get everthing on the cheap.

[Boulder Dash® preorder list]

I'll take #76

[my collection finally classified and my homebrews/repros]

Nice! Where did you get the Activision Kabobber?

[The 2007 AtariAge Holiday Sale Has Arrived!]

Wow! Great selection again this year!

 

And perfect timing, too! I just finished my Christmas shopping, so now I can start my Christmas shopping!

 

 

Yeah, that's the way it works out every year for me too.I already got my credit card bill for this order, and for a second there I was shocked about how much I owed, then I remembered what I had ordered from the AA store.Can't wait!

I will also second how easy it is to pay with the credit card.Just makes it that much easier to spend a few hundred bucks...

[UR Pacman Chip on eBay]

It's a fake!!!!

[Who else is stoked about Space Duel, Asteroids Deluxe and B*nq?]

I am so stoked that I am actually going to buy a 7800!

[Is it safe to say?]

A big YES!

I still remember going to a friends house just to play SI on the Atari VCS,before I had a system of my own.

[CGExpo protos on cart releases]

Meltdown was also sold at CGE 2007 in limited numbers

How did I not even here about this one?

This will be yet another title very few people will get their hands on.

[What is your favorite 2600 game company]

I voted 'other' for TELESYS just because it was the only company based in Fremont,CA, my hometown years ago.

Also, There's a few more Dune mock-ups here PressureCooker2600

I missed those. Would have saved me the trouble

 

For challenged individuals or anyone with a knob fixation.

 

LOL

 

Are we sure the 2600 could 'handle' this simulation!?!

[Hardest 2600 game to find....your opinion.]

I'm having a hell of a time getting all the Zellers boxed games, does that count?

(or will the Canadians just say that I live in the wrong part of north america!)

[MELBOURNE TATTY Shipped!]

Put me on the list for a boxed copy, unless I am too late, then a loose cart will do.

[Actionauts]

The "total amount of time spent worldwide by people playing Rob's games (estimated)" cracked me up.

[WELCOME TO ATARI CITY!]

Nice!

I'd live there!

The law of the land at Atari City would be compulsory vintage vidio game playing.

"If ya can't play vidio games, ya can't stay!"

[Anybody completely switch to emulation and not look back?]

I have only used emulation to play around with really rare games and prototype games.So the answer is NO!

[Made some 2600 magnets]

Ok thoses are cool i want some.

 

Just go to Staples(or other stationary store) and get their 'magnet sheets-gloss white' and download pics of boxes and carts from AA and print them onto the magnetic sheets(I downsized each image to fit six items per page),cut them out and put 'em on the fridge.Just let the sheets sit a few minutes after printing to let them dry.Mine were printed on an inkjet printer so looking at then up close you can see the lines that are made when printing,but it is cheaper than going to some print shop.

[Made some 2600 magnets]

Here are some magnets I made today.Sorry for crappy picture, this was the only good one.The picture is also rotated to the left.

[Plug-play...Hungry Hungry Hippos?!]

WTF indeed.How do you simulate getting pissed off and throwing the game at your friend,with the cheap plastic 'marbles' flying about!

[how much is the back to school pak worth?]

I have all the Paks, but not all the games in the white boxes.So yes a 'complete' set does get more money.

[MELBOURNE TATTY Shipped!]

I'd buy it too.

[Atari Is Down For the Count.....]

Hmm... I guess that means no Flashback 3, huh?

 

Hey, maybe Albert or Curt or one of us can buy the Atari name for a song? Should we start up a collection?

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

 

I got some Atari Redemption Certificates(ARCS) to invest!

[Has anyone played these games from Atari2600.com?]

N.E.R.D.S. is just a shooter style game,and The Last Ninja is a bit better;even though it has pretty basic graphics at least it is a maze game in which you have to hit different enemies one time,two times or more to get rid of them.I have been meaning to play this one a bit more because there are power ups and more levels to figure out.

So The Last Ninja is worth getting, but if you are a 'collector', you will buy both;especially if you did not get to attend CGE07.
