Not that I know of... but the Wii had many...

Yeah? And there's lots of people playing the games/computer and talking about it. Here's one example.

So I mean. Are you just not looking or....?

I found one!  

@RockyRaccoon You know, for a troll you sure are helpful!  

Thanks for the links! I'm checking them out now. ✌️?

Yup. Just as bad as the "stalkers". Got a couple weird ones here that like to follow me around. Disappointing that people still behave that way in this day and age.

And don't get me started on the Tubers. 

If a lover is the opposite of a hater and a lover hates a hater, does the lover become a hater or is the lover still a lover?

Congrats!  I love Spider Fighter.

Yeah I ignored the blister forming on my left hand and kept going. ✌️?

Intellivisionaries

Awesome. Listening to it now! 

Yep.  Get ready for excessively long podcasts with Nurmix going on about himself.   Generally they are like a lot of podcasts... a whole lot of yacking and and skits at the beginning, generally an interview of some type, and the later third by Paul talking about the game itself.

Usually box only is only typical for the initial run. Later on unboxed versions are available in the store.

Yes, it has to do with investment, a run of boxes is not cheap.  All the money comes out up front and needs to be recouped.

Personally I like the boxes if I want to go First Class.  That said, I wish there were always options either way...Because I can't always afford to go First Class

I'm only 42 but I feel at least 50.?

I am 47, feel like 46. Still playing my old games seems to keep me young. ?

I turn the big 5-0 this year as well!  Body has been feeling old for about 5 years now...but apart from that, my hobbies and such have me feeling like you do, somewhere around 21    So is it required that we like, take out our retirement or whatever and buy sports cars, or what? 

Heh. Without seeing the linked topic, your status update looked like a dating ad.

I was gonna say the same damn thing!  On the front page, this status ad looks WAY different.

Looking for a girl who knows her way around a joystick...Please don't bring a paddle. 

Why throw them away?  List them for free plus postage instead.  We have a dedicated subforum for that kind of thing:  https://atariage.com/forums/topic/282053-how-to-use-this-forum-please-read/

Yeah,  maybe someone could do something with them...

I'm not aware of any personally, but, understanding and implementing good electronics theory and practices and troubleshooting can go a long way toward keeping a console working. There's little or no "Atari" specific stuff in a VCS that doesn't apply to other different electronics. You need good contacts, good capacitors, in-spec transistors, good IC sockets. Really basic stuff like that.

Unfortunately professional technician service is expensive at about a $75 bare minimum. I stopped doing this sort of thing many moons ago unless it applies to something utterly irreplaceable or as personal favor payback. It would take 1 hour just to disassemble and clean and rebuild the switches and sockets and cart slot for example. And that's with only continuity measurements. Nothing to say of making sure the whole circuit is in specification.

As a hobbyist who is putting their VCS on the bench for rebuild, that's different. You can spread your personal time out over however long it takes. I did that to my 486 last year and spent about 30 hours more or less off & on over the whole summer and fall. But it's now factory spec or better. And I'm about to do it to my Pentium III rig.

And a "professional" might not get you professional results unless you interview them and tear into what they say they know. It's like I bought a mobo one time that was professionally repaired, restored, and cleaned. Ohh bullshit. Battery acid still present. Sockets not buffed. Master clock crystal off. Intermittent connections still present. To some, refurbishment can literally mean anything!

Thank you for your response. I would be willing to pay a lot more than $75 to do the work. I've had these three 2600 motherboards for about 5 years now. I'll keep looking, but eventually I'll have to say good bye to them.

Very nice!

Pancakes and sex?

And...Thinking about sex & pancakes...Made you think of the movie Fargo...(He was kinda funny lookin') ...Whaaa?  No woodchipper emoji? 

Georgia.

No thanks, already have one and one for the PS2 I'm not using.  

Nice deal though and the games/exercise apps that utilize them are fun, especially for young children.

I might try New Coke again...Seems like we had it around here in the 80's a lot longer than everywhere else...Then again it was too sweet IIRC.

I hated the taste of New Coke then, and I won't like it now. It was in response to losing market share to Pepsi. It was about this time that soda companies changed over to high fructose corn syrup.

I liked WoW back then better than now. I played only with my wife and a couple of friends. We tried the Elysium Project "vanilla" and enjoyed it.

We're looking forward to this.

Have you checked here:

Thanks Random! I think the game I'm thinking of is either Atari Space Race or Taito Astro race.

Kinda reminds me of the Alien Atari 2600 game bonus screen
