Elevators Amiss.

[Elevators Amiss.]

You will have to watch the movie Idiocracy to understand this--

Thanks to the wild color schemes in this game I would like to re-name it-

"Ow, my eyes!"

 

It's still a great game ,never the less.(whatever the hell that means)

[How many AtariAge magnets do you own?]

I've got a Pesco magnet from a while back.Sounds like I have another magnet waiting at the post office.

Now I have to wait until Monday to find out....

[Classic Home Video Games, 1972-1984]

I can not find this book at Amazon.com.What the hell!

Somebody please leave a link for this computer literate idiot, thanks.

[Atari 2600 Games with Posters?]

The Atari Age Club also sold posters.I just got a copy of the Phoenix poster that I had lost many years ago.What other ones were there?(Yeah, I'm too lazy to go look at the AA magazine on-line archive.)

[May 30, 2007 watch 70s Tech on the History Channel (Modern Marvels)]

Just set up the recorder.Had to check and see if it was a repeat or not; it is brand new.I watch so much History Channel I couldn't remember if I had seen it or not.Thanks for letting us know.

[do you ever get annoyed at cartridge collecting?]

I gave up on ebay a while back;although I got pretty lucky in the two years I was buying games off of ebay.Buy games from an online store that is honest and shows pictures of the item.You will be able to buy more games this way due to lower shipping than e(vil)bay.

[For a rarity 6 game Espial is sure commanding some big prices]

Well, I'm glad I got my boxed copy off of ebay for 99cents a few years back!

[I received a letter from Rob Fulop!]

Gloat all you want, that's impressive!

Now you can de-bug some of the worst 2600 titles out there!

[I just got Pac-Man Jr]

I must agree also.Just played it this morning.Or more accurately, got my ass kicked;a very difficult game indeed.Sometimes I can get to level 4 with two lives left, but usually lose them real fast just because I start to get mentally tired.

[Northern and Southern Explorer: The Atari 2600]

It would be cool if someone took one up to the space station.I'm just afraid that the RF interference might make the station crash.Oh well, the astronauts would be highly entertained on the way down.

[Histroy Channel /Modern Marvels /80"s tech]

It's a repeat,but was sure a cool show.I kept saying,"I remember that",throughout the show.

[is a complete Atari 2600 related colection worth 1 Million?]

Sorry, for asking, but I thought the major part of the fun of collecting is building up the collection. Just buying a complete one seems pretty witless.

 

I agree, it would be totally pointless, unless you do it purely for monetary purposes (like opening a museum with an entrance fee).

 

What would be the entrance fee at this museum be in order to recoup your $1million dollar investment?

$10 dollars , $1000?

Would you take credit card payment?

[What Atari 2600 game impressed you the most?]

Raiders of the Lost Ark just blew me away back in the day.

Then there was the Swordquest let down.

[Two-Player Pac-Man]

I can see this game listed at the AA store;

"2 player Pac-Man, 2X the flicker, 2x the agony"

 

But what is really sad, is that I would buy it!

[How do you organize your collection?]

Quote dusk2600

"I found a huge bookshelf in the dumpster at my storage during the summer, soon i hope to bring it home and covert my collection to it. thing is like 7 feet tall

 

I can see the headline now,"Atari collector stuck under weight of 1000 games over the weekend."Be careful with that bookshelf. :!:

[A reality check on the box craze.]

Call me crazy, but I have most of my 2600 games loose AND boxed.

Am I running out of room, you better believe it!

(could I have put about $10,000 in cds for retirement,instead of buying old games, well that's a whole other topic)

 

I guess the box/no box question depends on just how far you want to take this thing called "collecting."

[Wanted only semi-seriously, your 2600 Pac-Man carts!]

This is a noble idea until there is an accidental fire and the county hazmat charges you $200,000 to clean up all that toxic plastic waste!

[How old were you when you played your first Atari 2600 game?]

What if I played an Oddysey 2 first, does that screw up the results?

 

I still remember playing the first killer ap's Space Invaders and Adventure at a friends house.The background music was AC/DC's Back In Black album, so it was around 1980,that made me 13 years old.

(You can put the calculator down, I'm 40 this year)

[serious heart felt question to those that are ONLY involved with the 2600]

So many games...so little time.

[Cartridge shell demand]

Unless you know someone who owns a tool and dye shop.

 

The real problem is finding a person who is a tool and die mold maker in the US.There are only about 3000 left....

[Any Other 2600 Pinball Games?]

The 2600 needs more pinball games...period.

[2006 AtariAge Holiday Sale!]

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!

[Holiday Tease]

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!

[a dream that died...my atari rant for today]

Offer them a nice crisp $100 bill for everything. Yes it might be cheap but if they sees a $100 bill, they might go ka-ching and sell it anyway.

 

Then don't come back to the store for a long time just in case...

 

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.

[Which One Would You Sacrifice?]

You could always find a junk parts auction on ebay....

You know, those listings with 10 ataris that do not work.
