[It's in the cards for Nolan Bushnell]

Atari Age Collectible Fact Cards

Sound far fetched?Think again-check this link-This guy made aircraft cards,so anything is possible.

[To M Network or not to M Network]

Nice picture of all the boxed games.I have had very bad luck buying copies of m-network games in "un-smashed" boxes.Are these the cheapest boxes that were made in the classic era or what?

[HELP Sears Video checkers question]

Just as a precaution, if the candy and cookies are as old as the Sears manual, do not eat them.

[Krokodile Cartridge]

I'd buy one, especially if offered thru the AA store.

[Do you use extra common carts around your home?]

Did I forget to mention I'm not destroying these carts? I'm not a villain here. They are just some extra's lying around now and they are good for this project I'm working on. They are still working and they will in the future be used again.

 

The image I got in my brain from this quote is a game plugged into an atari unit working just fine, but the cart is also glued and is part of a lamp.(which also works just fine for when you need more light to read those manuals)

[average atari 2600 collector age ?]

[Red Baron Cockpit arcade]

Here is your chance to own one at an all in one price shipped right to your house*. *Some areas are not available to ship to residential but we will get it as close to your door as possible. Offer only good in the 48 states.

 

weird...

 

The seller is from Florida.Maybe they are waiting for another hurricane to blow it somewhere near where you live?

 

That is a cool cockpit version--never played it--only the upright.

[Time to sell your house and...]

[What Classic Computers do you have?]

I've got a 2600,odyssey 2,5200, and just threw away my old apple2+ and all it's stuff(just got sick of moving it around--and it was only worth about $100 on ebay)

[Dry flea markets ?]

Yeah, blame it on the online auctions, or the lack of alcohol("dry" means no alcohol is available, in the US).

[Microsoft's SPOT: The Atari Connection]

The article states that this was made around 1984.Just another idea killed by Tramiel;could not get the unit price below $500...

A lot of tech stuff is 25 to 30 years in the making before consumers ever see it.Cool idea though;Atari on the airwaves.

[Atari 2600 Label and Box Variation List]

Those label variation lists are insane!I have collected a lot of loose cartridge titles, without worrying about all the little differences.I just don't have the time or money to deal with these lists.

Since I have worked in manufacturing ,I can see how companies get all these 'variations'.I have read blueprints that go from rev. A all the way to rev. S,so it is nothing new.

I will check your website every so often,since it is under construction now.

[LETS SOLVE THIS BURIAL E.T. DEBATE RIGHT NOW.....]

Maybe we should make an ET Burial Recovery Team and have a road trip every spring to NM and randomly dig holes in the desert until those carts are found.(It would make a good excuse to get outside and drink beer,anyway)

[Nce mint original Odyssey system]

Section 4 lists everything that came with the original Odyssey system

[Lets see photos of your collections]

My collection would not look too impressive, since it is all boxed up and ready to move into my new place in two months.Once I get it all organized again I'll post pics.

[Wow, no one else wanted this?!]

A boxed unit was just listed tonight, as a matter of fact!

 

Now, does anyone have The Official Frogger FS/T?! Or Fireball, for that matter?

 

I got my copy of The Official Frogger from someone here at AA; not ebay--still had to pay a bit though...

[Got time to buy this?]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...8106313186&rd=1

Too bad I do not have a paypal account....

anything neon is cool.

[20lbs of STUFF]

It's a box that keeps giving!

These people obviously have not heard of going to the dumps...it's cheaper to mail 20lbs of crap to someone!???

[Help with Sinistar]

This might help a little...

[What Comedies would make cool 2600 games?]

A comedy... how about Python's In Quest Of The Holy Grail....an Adventure type game.Maybe LOTR can be hacked into to make this one.

[Compumate]

There are some good reference images of it here:

http://www.gamerzuniverse.net/base/Atarijoysticks.htm

 

Thanks for the link--just proves that the Atari 2600 had the most joysticks and 'add-ons' than any other game system.I only have a few of the items listed there and do not have the room for the rest!

[First to get 5200 Castle Crisis]

Anybody going to be selling 5200 paddle controllers? I have a bad 5200 controller or two I could probably donate.

 

Tempest

 

I'll second that; just had four regular controllers fixed up a while back.Paddle controllers would finish off Castle Crisis perfectly!Gotta try the game on my four port system next....

[My CBS complete collection!]

Nice boxed collection!All I need is a boxed copy of Tunnel Runner, and now the 'stick stand'

[z26 Version 2.12 Released]

I have downloaded the new version and all it does is open a small box that says"version 2.12".I have it loaded into a Windows 98,anyone else get it to work for W98?

[Moonlander Type Games For 2600]

I would like to see a (good) Lunar Lander made for the 2600.There is a new homebrew for the Odyssey 2 coming out soon, that is a Lunar Lander clone.How dare the O2 get this game before the 2600!
