      Your resume *might* get you called, but it won't get you hired. Maybe practice interviewing skills? Otherwise maybe it's a matter of patience before finding the right role; and keep working on building skillset in the mean time. Best of luck.

      Get the book "What Color is Your Parachute. That book helped me get a new job recently.

      "Maybe practice interviewing skills?"

      - I think this is good advice. If you haven't done an interview in a long time, Google a list of interview questions, and get a buddy to do a mock job interview with you. Coming across as confident and polished in an interview can go a long way to helping you get hired.

      - Get someone who is in management to review your resume. What does he/she think? Why would he hire or not hire you? And proof-read your resume; spelling and g...

  2. Re-re-re-writing my resume...

      Such a bummer. Those "book" thingies take up so much space ...

      Toss it over your shoulder and buy a new one. That's what most people do these days.

      You have my sincere condolences. If there is anything I can do to help your family through this tragedy, please feel free to ask. LOL, Just Kidding! Sorry to hear about it though. I know having electronics die is pretty annoying. I'd be upset if my 2600 stopped working. I have a tablet and I've downloaded a few books through Google Play, because they were free, thanks to Google giving me $2 every month or so to con me into buying more apps and stuff. So far I haven't paid...

  5. CRT tvs are up for grabs on facebook marketplace. Get 'em if you need 'em.

  6. What's your recommended Bluetooth arcade stick to use with Mame emulator.

  7. What other games are similar to AD&D Eye of the Beholder? I am hooked!

    1. save2600

      save2600

      AD&D's Eye of the Beholder II. (sorry, that was too easy!) lol

    2. BydoEmpire

      BydoEmpire

      And EotB III. IIRC there are some Elvira games similar w/ a horror theme. AD&D Dungeon Hack is similar. The Dungeon Master series for Amiga & ST are great.

      There are some modern ones, too, like Legend of Grimrock.

      I suspect you'd end up fine but yeah, auctions can be nerve wracking. I generally prefer to list things as Buy It Now with a price reflecting around the average for what the item usually goes for. Much less biting of nails that way!

      I don't bid on auctions with untrue shipping costs.

    4. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      Shipping cost is true and fair in this case. I put a bid on it, even though I don't really want a real 32X. ;-)

  8. Does anyone want this book? Just pay for shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/192313831420?page=2386164

  9. Just wondering if anyone ever figured out how to get the Wii virtual console to play roms not sold on the VC store.

      My PC may be in a state of decay at about 6 years old but it still smokes anything Best Buy and Walmart can offer. 2700k was a very good CPU capable of running at 5GHz.

      My friend got one, loose, in a box of stuff from an estate sale a while back...Funny how I'd not thought of those in decades...He asked me to show him the instructions :)

      Stephen, I'll find out what it would cost to ship to Ohio as maybe I can send it to you.

    4. xucaen

      xucaen

      I packed the Merlin in a box and it weighed - 1 pound. USPS wants almost $8 for shipping. I could get the shipping cost down if I put it in a padded envelop but that's not as safe; I'd hate for it to get crushed in an envelope.

  14. Last chance to take the huge honking tube tv. Paying $150 to have it hauled away tomorrow. Works beautifuly. North shore Boston.

    1. save2600

      save2600

      $150 to have someone haul it away? Hell, if I lived nearby, I'd let you give me that kind of money to take it. lmao Seriously, just call 1-800-got-junk or some like minded place. Men's shelter, Salvation Army, something like that...

    2. xucaen

      xucaen

      Salvation Army and Goodwill won't take it. I'll check out the 1800 got junk.

  15. does the 5200 controller have 4 fire buttons?

    1. save2600

      save2600

      Yes, 2 on each side. don't believe they operate as 4 discrete buttons though. Just 2+2.

    2. Gabriel

      Gabriel

      4 buttons but save2600 is right, it's just 2 buttons duplicated.

  16. Looking for USB Gamepad with numberpad (coleco, Intv, Jag, 5200)

    1. atari2600land

      A Vision-daptor would help for using an INTV and Colecovision controller on your computer.

      This is clise, but still need the analog stick for 5200. http://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/jaguar2usb_adapter/index.php

    3. xucaen

      xucaen

      So I guess a real 5200 controller would be in order. Good luck to me finding a working one o_O http://www.2600-daptor.com/5200-daptor.htm

  17. Looking into the Dreamcade Replay console. Sounds like what we had hopes Ataribox would be.

  18. I am surprised there are not more gamers near Boston looking for old tube TV sets for their old console collection.

      Thanks everyone, I know what people are asking for them on ebay. Is that what they're worth? Are people just selling them for the pokey? Does anyone buy them just to play games?

    4. Jinroh

      Jinroh

      I bought one to play games until I got a 130XE and sold for extra cash.

  20. Ataribox will support "classic gaming content".

    1. JDTAY

      "As you can guess, those ports suggest modern internal specs. It also means that while we will be delivering classic gaming content, we will also be delivering current gaming content."

      Current too, apparently, Good_Times.

      The pessimist in me says the biggest implication of this means that the current version of "Atari" will soon be protecting their IP Cardildo style.

      But with joysticks.

  21. They just brought my wife into surgery. I'll be camped out in the waiting room for the next few hours. It's a routine procedure so I'm sure everything will be alright.
