    Here is something from News of the Weird-

    High school students in Palm Beach County,FL, needed only a score of 23 percent to pass a standardized state history test (55 percent is considered an A)<?!>

    --Also--

    I saw on the news the other night, a latino man speaking to a group of latinos explaining that their children need to pass high school and go to college to get a better advantage--great idea, but he said this in Stockton,CA,in the state that is rated 50th in education(50 being dead last)

    --No wonder the high school graduates don't know anything....remember this when you are old and in a rest home, these are the ones that will be 'caring' for you--The nurse says,"Where did that blood come from?"

    The place I lived in last year was just a 630 square foot, 52 year old cabin.In one of the very small rooms I had my computer and atari stuff crammed in.Now all the atari,odyssey 2,and sw cards are on the top shelves in a walk-in closet and in bookcases on one side of the closet.Now that I am concentrating on getting boxed games, it is getting filled up;but I do have room in the bedroom for more bookcases...

    I just got a copy of Star Wars:The Empire Strike Back by Parker Bros with just a box,but the back/bottom half of the box has a description of the game in six languages--unfortunatly the box did not come with the insert or instructions.One other thing;the side/bottom of top lid has written on it"made in USA by Parker Bros" and "Packed in the UK by the Palitoy Co"The game is NTSC.

    So is this a rare box, released in UK maybe?Or is it a mismatched set and should have had a PAL cart?

    I just got a copy of RS Boxing that is a PAL version.This came in a box with the instructions.Although the game 'rolls' on the tv, the insts are in english;I'm guessing the seller either put the items together to make a complete set or bought it that way to resell.

    So where is the PAL entry for this item?How rare is this one?

    Here is the only Ebay trick I use(other than just relying on blind luck)-

    sometimes I bring up the newly listed 2600 auctions and click on the 'buy it now' option.Sometimes you get a lot of cheap items(before anyone can bid on 'em).I just got an Atari logo t-shirt for $10 total;prior to that the t-shirt auctions were $25+.

    I just recently won 34 auctions for boxed and mib atari 2600 games that ranged from $2.00 to $9.50.I only increased my bids once about 6 hrs before the auctions closed,so sometimes you just get lucky without even hardly trying.One thing about Ebay is this;patience and persistence is what you will really 'win' in the long run...By the way, one of the items did go to $26,it was a very nice looking copy of Turmoil with inst's and box..sometimes you must get quantity, not quality.(plus I'm broke now!)

    You could always go to the bank and get a 'second mortgage' on the house and buy all the clasic gaming stuff you always wanted;but good luck explaining this to the bank manager!

    "You want a loan for what?"

    It's at $604; That's a lot of other boxed games that you could buy...

    In the last six months I have been fortunate enough to have gotten copies of Bugs Bunny,Combat II,Elevator Action,SCSIcide(in the antistatic bag),QB special edition (in wood box),Warring Worms,Secret Agent.Planing on getting Polo,Vault Assualt,Mental Combat & Gun Fight.

    Congradulations to all who made Bugs Bunny a reality;compaired to Secret Agent and Elevator Action(still waiting for that elevator) the game plays very well.

    If someone went back and helped Atari be as good a company as Nintendo and it still existed today, then this website and message board thread would not be here,and all the great people here would not have met eachother...

    Someone could make a bundle of money printing up replacement labels for Activision (the glue see thru problem) and Parker Bros. (the not enough glue/no label problem)But doing this would make 'collecting' good label carts a thing of the past.I got a copy of Warring Worms and you can not tell it is a 'refurbished' cart.
