Recycled

Ok, I'll look into the ADAM. I don't know anything about it. The thing about the latest generation of consoles, in my opinion, is that they're not big of a leap from the original Playstation. Oh, maybe a 25% improvement on the graphics, but not really a leap in game play. What do you guys think? (Currently playing Turmoil)

sounds good. So should I grab an ODYSSEY 2 while am at it? You know, get some illicit pleasure with a round of KC Munchkin? (my son wants to play Power Rangers Dino Thunder at the moment. Hopefully, I can hold him off a bit.)

Thanks StanJr. I'll let you know when I finally get one. And I'll check out the marketplace forum also. All the kindness of this forum is overwhelming!! (I DO have a store on ebay though.....not video game related). It's kind of like some kind of syndrome.....once most people move up to the next console....they leave everything else behind w/out looking back. I should've been looking in the early '80s. Oh well, more to discover today.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Yea, that's it!!! Keep encouraging me to get a Colecovision!!! So should I hold off and get the CV version of Venture as opposed to the 2600 one? Hey 25 year old youngster.....At least you probably didn't waste the quarters we did back in the glory days!!

Thanks. Yea, I'm still messing with the idea of getting a Colecovision (finally). I keep putting it off though. Mostly because I don't have a version of Zaxxon.

Well, this is my first posting. Things have come full circle I guess. I got the 2600/VCS for Christmas 1980. Our neighbors got the Intellivision, so of course I felt I had the inferior product. This only got worse with the advent of Colecovision---I was consumed with getting that system. I never did get it. I still haven't. Anyways I pretty much overlooked what was available at that time for the 2600. I DID buy Pac Man when it came out--which probably furthered my assumptions of inferiority about the system. I lost total interest in video games at that point. I missed the Nintendo years. I played Sonic 2 on the Sega Genesis in '93 and that rekindled my interest. I finally got my own Genesis in 1997 when they were discontinuing them. I enjoyed it it for a while. I eventually got bored with all the samey side scrolling. Although I was able to pick up a few retro games for it (Ms Pac-Man, Williams Arcade). Anyway I bought a used Playstation in 2001. I liked what the system was able to do, plus I was able to get the Midway compilations also. I bought the first Intellivision comp also----surprised how primitive it seemed now. My ex-wife bought me the ps2 for xmas 2003. I played a few games and enjoyed them then hit a dead end. All these great graphics and this and that, but I was not getting the addictive game play that I craved from the latest Resident Evil or Grand Theft Auto titles. About a month ago I picked up the Activision Anthology and finally found what was looking for: i.e. fun games. In that time I have acquired a 2600 from a co-worker and have over 40 carts. I'm enjoying it immensely. I've come full circle. Anybody else have this sort of experience?
