Excellent.Just wish I had not just sent a big check for the pre-order games for Philly--There is always the next time I order stuff. Gonna miss using those arrow keys though--Not.

I kind of wish I had bought all the Hozer Vidio games when I had a chance;I spent about $800 just to Hozer Vidio,so you can see that even getting the homebrew games is expensive.I have gotten lucky and gotten some Hozer games on ebay,but there's just not very many left out there.

If this doesn't get too expensive, I'll bid on it.I'm missing the box--threw out all my boxes for Atari 2600 games years ago!?!

I got some Atari text label games with boxes that have "special edition" printed on front.I searched the forum here and looked thru my info I've got on my computer about Atari stuff,and I can not find a list of how many games were re-issued as "special edition".Any info would be appreciated.

Dumb question alert-- What exactly has been modified?

Don't forget the Data Age cheap 45 paper record(like the ones you would get in cereal boxes)

How about a four player demolition derby using the driver controllers.The point of the game(if there really has to be one) would be to just hit your opponents as many times as possible in a certain amount of time,or number of hits,or amount of damage(or all of the above!--that's what made the old games great,the many choices.)

The host of this auction just does not understand the importance of the S group in the food pyramid--they should have at least put a bag of sugar in it! I saw this auction and looked up what else they were selling--never knew people had the market cornered for selling old used cereal boxes;almost as strange as people buying 25 year old vidio games!

Ah! Another place to spend my x-mass money! I have been thinking of blowing a few hundred bucks on multicarts for different systems.The Vectrex with multicart looks like a good deal...

The land that the town is on is on US forest land in a 20 year lease. NO THANKS. With my luck, I'd buy it and the forest service would find some endangered 'critter' there and shut me down.... I'd rather buy an island.

Just to compare prices, I paid $110 for TCM+manual 2 years ago;and just paid $78 for a loose copy of Halloween.I guess the holidays are the best time to buy if you got some money tucked away.

I just sent off the check for a copy of Halloween-just the cart--$78-I won on ebay, and just spent $180 to get redemption and four refurbished 5200 controllers;so now I can actually use the 5200 supersystem--it was like an early x-mass with all the games spread out all over the floor as I tried them all out.

I gave up on keeping track of how much I have bought in the last three years;and it was mostly just 2600 stuff.I agree with mogofltr that a lot of the holy grail games suck,so I'm in no real rush to go blow $500+ on one item.I would rather try to buy boxed game lots,but the last one I was watching went for $610,which might not be so bad since it was a 2600 system and 100 boxed games($6.10 a game)....so it looks like I will have to pony up some dough at some point;but not for one item. Also, imagine my 'surprise' that Marco had the box for color bar generator!

I finally got to use brand new refurbished 5200 joysticks with the redemption adapter,and guess what, it works!There is no other way to play the 5200 pac-man than with the selfcentering joystick.Now I have to get some more 2600 joysticks and fix them up and I'm set(until I wear everything out again ) Thanks to AtariAge for the 5200 Redemption adapter. Also thanks to Rich Gallo of ebays 'retrogames-r-us' for refurbishing the 5200 joysticks in record time,and at a fair price.(Yeah,I know it's a little spam, but if it helps other gamers get their 5200 system going,I'm all for it)

Yeah, cool article.Thought it was funny that the "violent" shooting lightgun is what saved the odyssey from being passed over in the first place.

Anybody know what year this was made or any info.?Thanks http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3062394820

Yeah, I was going to mention this guy. My main problem is that I an on just a phoneline modem,so I can not get too mad due to my slow response time...

What do you get if the game consistantly kicks your ass Congrats to the current winners,this is not an easy task.

Oh, you mean the high pressure toilet flushing sound

Congrats. I am also missing a boxed copy of Cosmic Commuter... Patience is a ... a screw it, I want mine too

Ya know what makes this auction worth it?There's two pac-mans! But seriously,there's an boxed Action Pac and Tunnel Runner and Lost Luggage.I'm going to watch this auction for the hell of it;it might end up being my x-mass present to myself this year...

One question-- Using the redemption adapter,can I plug in a 2600 paddle controller?? I know I can probably plug it in, but will it work? That Warlords upright mod is awesome

I am also going to go with Milipede,because in order to do well in this game you have to zone out anyway,and be able to watch the whole screen at once. Second choice is also Jr Pac-Man,on an easier setting of course;if not on easy play,it just pisses me off;rarely get thru level 4. After reading this, I will be getting Stampede out again...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3060544687 It's Crash Dive by 20th century fox for atari 2600 boxed. So why is this item getting so pricey lately???
