I had funded this on Kickstarter... now that the goal has not been reached, is there anything I need to do to ensure my order is still intact? I still think it is really cool.

From http://deals.woot.com/sellout : Razer Naga 17 Button Laser Gaming Mouse $44.99 + $5.00 shipping Sorry, buddy, but the Atari 5200’s controller still has you beat.

I like the Best site. There. I said it. I have found it is best to just give them a call. They are hella friendly and eager to answer any questions. I bought my 5200 trackball from them in 1995 or so, so am a long-time customer, to say the least! A flashy website doesn't mean anything--I have done plenty of work for totally messed-up companies who don't know crap but want a fancy website to make it look like they are "professional". Gilded turds, that's what I say (actually it is what my dad says, but I am old now so I say it too).

The last game I bought new was Mario Kart Wii. I have been playing it for a full, what, 3 years now? I have a problem. I do buy a lot of homebrews though and those are always brand-new.

They all have the orange square in the cassette bay and I have included a photo of the bottoms for perhaps more info? I took one of these completely apart (it was totally hosed) just for the fun of it. Very interesting indeed, it's really quite amazing the technology in these. I also gave one away to a friend who does artsy things but I could only get him to take one, so I am down to 4. I also have a completely broken 1010.

I like super crazy fancy packaging with loads of bonus items and stuff. I love my Qb in the wooden box, SCSIcide in anti-static bag, all the Alien Greed stuff, special holiday carts that come in a Christmastime tin box with candy, all that good stuff. The weirder or more unique, the better!

Anyone notice that they sent out a press release? http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/permalink/?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20100813005120&newsLang=en

Sale fell through. Last call before eBay.

No one? I am really not sure what to do with these... I guess the first step is to test the ones still in bubblewrap and hope for the best. I am so lazy.

Hell of a yard sale...

I will chop the cords off for you if you want them (I have heard some people do this), or extract any parts you desire. 4 of these do not work, the other 2 are still wrapped in bubble wrap from an eBay seller and I am too lazy to open them up, test them, and discover that they do not work.

...and yet another box departed today. Those donuts look good.

I will send a medium flat rate with everything I have at the moment. Should be about 40 carts. I have 6-7 Coleco--I have more than that total, but a few of them flunked the "no physical damage" check. They seem to be much less sturdy than the Atari brand carts.

Sigh. Payment sent. Really sucks to miss the show. I had to work. But today is my birthday, so I can but myself whatever I want! Whoo! I choose Atari stuff. Oh sheesh, I just realized I forgot to specify t-short size. Large. PM coming to confirm that one. Turbo looks super cool!

I am also not making to to the show, which I am VERY unhappy about (work stuff). Please PM me with the payment details.

Bummer that this site is down! I was hoping to use it as a reference. Just bought a bunch of sticks and a few I don't remember ever seeing before. I will likely post some pics in another thread.

I shared it on Facebook for all my nerdly friends and sent it to a friend at MAKE magazine. He will likely post it there (if he knows what's good for him).

Well, you got me. I think the game is cool and I have always wanted a game in a wooden shell. I think I posted something about doing this on r.g.v.c. in like 1998 -- my idea was just to transplant a Pac-Man or something into a wooden case, but an original game is so much better! There goes my Paypal balance...

Gates are open! Hey, thanks much for the response!! I'll enter your info into AC this morning and give a check later today around 3pm (I'm east coast so I think that is the correct time difference between us) unless we are tied up with something else... he's been nagging me to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter but I'm not sure that a weekend is a great time. If you have my town already entered in your system from the past, please change the friend code & player name to the one I'm listing below. My grandson decided to start another town (he didn't like the layout of my town) so he has his own player name and friend code (though he stuck with town name of Pixley since he likes Green Acres also): Town: Pixley Player: Croniis Code: 1892 - 5460 - 7994 He now has apples and coconuts but really wants to get one of each other fruit to start a complete orchard. I don't have WiiSpeak, but do have a USB keyboard for communication. Thanks again and I hope that we can visit! Mendon

Oh, that is a SWEET RF switcher! I am totally jealous. Here is a picture of mine, picked it up in a big lot a couple of months ago and I love it. It may have been the best part of the whole deal.

These are now located on the eBay, starting at 99 cents. Just want them gone. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 330450373204

Hi Mendon-- I am refurbing our town as well and your grandson is welcome to drop by sometime this weekend. I am usually playing about 11am PT or so. Weird work schedule. All my info is in the main AC thread and I think we are friends already, but I will check to make sure.

How much for just the "packaging?" Looks awesome and I already have your pen!

If you connect all the RF the video quality will decrease. It's worth getting a switchbox. I have groovy vintage one with 4 consoles attached to it. Yes, you have to push a button, but it's not a big deal. At a certain point, if you want to play vintage games on vintage hardware, you have to accept that some manual labor might be involved... it's not so bad, really. I made some labels with a label maker for mine. I'll try to take a pic later.

I give mine some wine and then ask if they want to come back to my place to play some games. Seems to work.
