    Um, don't tell Paul, but the Pong Sports is the rarest sears pic label....

    label variants can drive one crazy in this hobby,but I just keep plugging away on these sears carts.Usually the ebay auction gets too rich for me, or I lose the auction by .50...This latest auction was just pure luck.

    I just won an auction for 'breakaway IV' sears picture label cart.(only $5.41!),bringing my total to only 14 out of 32 carts. in this catagory.Anyone else got more than this?It is very difficult to find these;after two years of looking, I have not found very many...although I must admit, I am only looking at ebay..

    From another 'off the wall' peasant,

    Can games that were made to use the joystick, but would work better on the paddles, be 'hacked' to use the paddle??'Sprint Master' would also be a good one to change over...

    My top three games I play daily are-jr. pac-man,qb,star trek.star trek really gets going around 4.0;I've gotten to 6.1 once;the game is cool with the three 'windows' & all...The game usually ends with me yelling,"You Bastards!"

    I did send the $2 early enough to get a numb thumb membership wallet size card and two 4 to 6 page newsletters;unfortunately these items are in a landfill(next to all the e.t. carts!?).Anybody have the newsletters scanned?How many were made?I also had the first two atari age newspaper type newsletters.(there were two,right?)Anybody have these?I only saw one newsletter on ebay once;it was pretty expensive.

    According to AtariAge rarity,my centerpiece is a Bumper Bash (9 of 10)cartridge.According to me;a boxed copy of Espial,and the red label atari games in sealed boxes that I pick up every so often, especially Xenophobe (in box) & Radar Lock (in box)& Jr Pac-Man (sealed in box).My #1 centerpiece is a copy of Crazy Climber with inst's but no box(I threw out my boxes years ago,Douh!)As far a merchandise goes,the only rare items I've had to get again are copies of atariage magazines.

    That damn Comedy Central!, I'm getting hooked.Just got a dish system and can not miss Battlebots, ever....The old SNL's are cool too.Saw a little of the SNL tonight but missed that sketch;did see the captain and teneal singing about the 2000 election...

    {one game?}

    I agree,but this is what made the 2600/vcs so popular;the large number of great games.I have like a top 25 list of games,then there is a secondary list of another 25;sort of like the 'b' side lists of those old 45 records(hope I haven't lost you, newbies).Then there is the new games & or hacks that some people are talented enough to do for us all;so these new games get put in the list also.

    So to answer the ?.My top four games recently are jr. pac-man,star trek,QB,thrust and, if I want a nastalgic arcade trip, I get my box of silver label games out.Or if I am in the mood for 'adventure' type games I get dark chambers,montazuma's revenge,raiders of the lost ark,and lately lord of the rings on the z26 emulator.

    There is no simple answer....so many choices, so little time.

    Things are getting harder to find because a lot of the stuff is in my walkin closet,along with odyssey2 boxed games,star wars cards,and a few skeletons to boot!I have collected on ebay,and have seen weird prices.For example, I paid a lot for miner 2049er I & II,but every so often there is a glut of these and the price is really low;or you can bid on five copies and get lucky.The one cart I went round and round with was time pilot;I was outbid five times by a penny!I have bid on a lot of rare carts that are on my 'want list',but the bids just get way too high.So lately I have updated my lists and gotten common items that I overlooked,thus saving some money for the more expensive items.Keeping in mind that I am only getting the carts,not too many boxes or manuals,the "collecting" aspect of this hobby is not even near it's end.

    I'm glad to see that there are others that have to get their daily dose of jr. pac-man.This game is an example of why the arcades died--when the game is over you instantly push the restart button, without wasting quarters.Screen five is also the end of the line for me too...
