Sent order in. It did not take long to reach $100 to get the free cart, nor did it take long to get to the free shipping either!

Of course, you do know that as you put more holiday items at the AA store, less and less people are going to get other gifts from me, and/or I just go into larger debt on the credit cards. With that said/written, I can't wait to order 'my' holiday presents!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.You should have grumbled something about winning a multi-million dollar lotto and nowhere to spend the money and left.

You could always find a junk parts auction on ebay.... You know, those listings with 10 ataris that do not work.

The short answer is no. I blew it and did not get more stuff from Hozer Vidio Games a few years back.I am always outbid on ebay, so I figure it will be next to impossible to finish this collection. I am only missing the first x-mass cart from Atari Age. I have not gotten all the hacks that have been offered in the AA forums, but that's another topic....

What is this; Final Destination 4? If so, I want to at least die in some freaky accident way involving the Atari 2600, with a high-score on the screen...

I might get the Sea Battle/Swordfight, just because one of the two I got from the original run don't work(plus the new instruction booklets would be cool to have).

My dad made it a point to go and buy PacMan for my brother and I. Needless to say, we both did not have the courage to tell him how much it stank.Like the rest of the people here, when Ms PacMan was released,we wondered why that game was so much better.

Millipede on the 2600 is crazy.Sometimes there are so many things going on that some of the enemy sprites slow down and stop moving vertically.

Mine is just my initials, but 'room34' on the forums here wrote that it stood for 'diabolical world hypnotist' which I guess I am a member of but have been hypnotised to forget...

These used to be more common on ebay a few years back;should have gotten one then...

It's the gameplay, with the random elements of the bat and dragons coming thru walls from other parts of the kingdom. Later games were just linear-go here do this, then go there and do that, every single time;the only improvement over Adventure was the save game feature.

I believe it was called "80's tech" on history channel;they kept showing milipede being played...

That happened to me to..got two colecovision carts via ebay and have since traded them off.So sometimes the mistakes help your collection along. I have War Room for Colecovision just because it is related to the Odyssey 2 stuff I have, but no Colecovision to test it on.

Only if you are willing to pay $100 for your copy... Get Stratogems!

My pre-order(I picked the basic black cart) and an Odyssey 2 order is in. Who knew that this one sentence could be worth over $400... Oh well, the price of being a vidio game collector.

To make even more money, the binder with all the cool info in it, is now in a separate auction.

The homebrew game Warring Worms got the many variations theme right.But, basically, I would agree, more variations, damn it!

These prices are why I am glad I do not have a pay-pal account-- I would be much poorer than I already am... I do not have those two boxes either.

Nice! The odyssey(1) boxed games are cool.I just can't justify buying stuff for the original Odyssey, I'm too much of a slave to everything that is for the Atari 2600.

DITTO!

[quote name='Feralstorm' date='Fri Aug 18, 2006 3:47 AM' post='1122806' back on track, flicker never really bothered me unless it's unusually bad, like lots of things on-screen at once in Adventure or Wizard of Wor - bad. The flicker on Wizard of Wor just made the game end sooner for me.By the time you get to level 8 or so, everything is moving so fast...and due to flicker you can't see them,that's just cheating! I forgot about the whole moon flickering on lunar lander/star ship,"Oh the humanity!"

I have only gotten to level 10 once,very briefly, then the guard chased me down;did not have enough time to look at the layout and figure out a way around him. Oh yeah,BTY, the game does kick ass!

Mine are in plastic boxes with lids(so they can be stacked),with labels on one end letting me know which companies games are in which box. I now have three of these boxes with Atari Age released games! Two boxes are full, the third box is just getting filled with new games.

Careful, Magnavox might sue this site and force us to change it to OdysseyAge(!).After reading the Ralph Baer book, it seems that he spent half his life in court for Magnavox.
