The Sport! (3) * Laser Invasion (5) * The Lone Ranger (6) * Mechanized Attack (5) * Operation Wolf (3) * Shooting Range (4) * The Adventures of Bayou Billy (2) * To The Earth (3) * Wild Gunman (4) (rarity in parenthesis)

wow, I too was under the impression that the whole stick was done at the factory. Looks like you got tons of work still ahead of you. Too bad your not near me, I'd kinda enjoy putting them together.

if I'm still around in 2050 I'll most likely be playing the Atari in an old folks home -

Retro Gaming Party Ideas?
missioncontrol replied to VectorGamer's topic in Classic Console Discussion
A few kids stayed longer, I had 3 TVs going and the pinball machine in working order. He had about 10 guest I think. It was a kid's party so they were happy with pizza and games, as far as kids watching verse playing, I think they had fun both ways, either cheering along and playing... -
Retro Gaming Party Ideas?
missioncontrol replied to VectorGamer's topic in Classic Console Discussion
It's too late for this, but my boy's last birthday party was a retro gaming event, rather than standard invitations I created some promotional flyers to hand out to his friends as the invitations. I also posted a few of the event flyers in the gameroom along with some other flyers from other gaming events that I could find. The kids mostly played either warlords on the Atari or Mario Cart on the 64 since both were 4 player games. They had a blast... Edit: oops wrong copy, (had my address) -
Fantastic transaction, shipped fast and packaged well... Thanks for the carts

newbie question on cartridge troubles and wear
missioncontrol replied to donssword's topic in Atari 2600
clean your console, the Activision carts tend to need more care since the contacts are thinner, try to avoid sandpaper, just alcohol and q-tips work wonders. -
she's probably on some flea marketers forum posting about a crazy stupid customer that had the nerve to tell her that her most treasured Atari cart was worth less than the sale price she already had on it, and all those forum posters are most likely telling her to stick a price tag doubling whatever the current amount is...

wow.. just wow.. this thread has taken a huge ugly turn... I really don't know what to say, but want to say something. I really can't believe all the backlash that Curt's getting for trying to get a much needed product into the hands of those who really want it. I'm sad to see people putting this product ahead of concerns over Curt's health. No one plans to have heart problems, Curt's been hit 3 times and has come back swinging each time, still looking at ways to give back to the Atari community. LEG is a small company, catering to a small group of people. They don't have the same pull major manufacturers have when it comes to getting products made so in turn have faced complications. No matter how many hurdles they jump they are faced with criticism by the same people they are trying to produce these products for. It's a wonder he hasn't thrown his hand in the air and given up. I really can't believe the backlash he's received. Sure, I can understand the concerns of the consumer doe to these delays, but people have posted showing they have received the product and it's perceived as a conspiracy. This is unbelievable....
