Dude, this is AtariAge, WTF did you think we'd discuss, knitting techniques?

My main concern is the consoles lifespan aswell as the carts....will they eventually become unplayable!MAYBE IN LIKE 2050!
if I'm still around in 2050 I'll most likely be playing the Atari in an old folks home
-
keep it, if you are not a collector just keep the games that are nostalgic to you.

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...

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

carts arrived today, thanks again dude...

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....

That's the only place I've seen them too. Guess there's not much info on them, my friend has about 50 of them.

So I was over talking with my friend who owns a game store in town. He just recently bought out a flea market shop as a second location. So far it's been going alright for him and he's found a whole lot of cool console stuff. I'm going to try heading over there tomorrow and help him figure out what some of it is. But anyways, he found a whole case of these sorta cool NIB Atari Lazer Quick Fire joystick accessories. Apparently you plug your joystick into it set the knob to your desired rate of fire and play. Another nice feature is it also has an off position so you can basically use it as an 8 foot extension cord for your joystick. I haven't had a chance to test them yet, but he gave me two of them to play around with and find more info on them...
So anyone have any info on these?
According to the box they are made by Texas Hi Tech Inc. of Oklahoma City, OK, Model: QF-201
I'm getting ready to search Atarimania and see if there's anything there about them but wanted to share some photos here:
If anyone wants more pics or any other info I can give you let me know.

would it be possible to have a whole bunch of Atari games, put onto an NES cart? just think about it, space invaders, asteroids, fast eddie, missile command, kaboom, warlords, etc... on the NES?or, one atari game per nes cart?
is there anyone who can do that if its possible at all?
My question is Why? I mean don't get me wrong, I love playing the NES when I can get a game to play, what I don't love about the NES is the unpredictability on whether it'll read a the cart or not without the added voodoo-mojo-magic of getting it to work.
Ah, the importance of cleaning your carts. The NES's major flaw was the 72 pin "zif" connector that wasn't really a zif. If it's causing you major headaches trying to get a game going on an NES, it may be time to replace the 72 pin connector. It's a very simple process, involves no soldering, and can be done in about 10 minutes. The part you'd replace only costs a few dollars. I have a tutorial on it here:
I'm aware of the problem and the fix. Just too lazy to do it when I can turn to my Atari and just play...
