  1. Soooooo Carnival, Carnival, Carnival, Carnival, Carnival, Carnival, Carnival, Sharp Shot, Chess and Beauty and the Beast?
  2. Made it to level 5 today. This game helped me find out I have an issue with one of my controllers. I found the game would reset on me several times. Just throw me back to the title screen. Seems some combination of the lower left button and the direction disc would reset the game. Thought I found a software defect but I switched to a different machine and have not been able to reproduce it so seems like it is my hardware. Only issue is I have to unplug the ECS to play this as the two don't play nice together. No big deal. Fun game, whenever I boot up my old Mac Plus I alway launch Lode Runner. Such a classic.
  3. Should have used a bigger cartridge like the Neo Geo ones. I'm sure all you need is an adapter. Yep. 😎 😋
  4. Wow. Under $30 CAD delivered for 40 games. But no overlays.
  5. Yep, we will have to configure our security cameras to ID Cmart. Who has that picture of him with the controllers and the jeans with suspenders.
  6. Cote has advised me they will ship me the missing overlays. Swell bunch a guys over there. Real stand up fellows. The bees knees. Crackajack team. A sockdolager of an organization. (first use of that word in any Atari Age forum ever. Don't care if it's use is questionable.) I do love the smooth Pyramid Warp cartridge. Do we need a sticky topic for everyone to identify their Pyramid Warp cartridge sticker colour? Green and Gold here. Or is it Olive and Yellow? Hmm!
  7. Yeah, looks like I'm missing some overlays. I will put on my angry pants and message them. Thanks Wolfy. I'm sure it was an honest mistake. Game is fun, made it to the 3rd level so far.
  8. Norseman 2 and Pyramid Warp arrived today, thank you. Norseman 2 looks to be in order. Pyramid Warp however did not come with any overlays. The instruction poster indicates there should be overlays. Was there a last minute change?
  9. Argh! UPS just added a bunch of crap charges to deliver this. Wish I could dig a hole and bury them in it. UPS sucks. I prefer USPS for international.
  10. I miss that store. I picked up boxed copies of Atlantis, Demon Attack and Springer for my Atari 8-bit for what was probably coffee money there.
  11. Such a humble brag Just like I don't fly my personal jet to my private island in bad weather because I don't like leaving my Lamborghini at the airport to get rained on which annoys my super model wife.
  12. No Aztec Challenge? No deal. Actually I happily ordered it.
  13. I'm trying to locate books 4 and 5 of Gregory Benford's Galactic Center series. Reading book 3 and have book 6 so need to find them. Wonder why I never thought to check ebay? Obviously too many hockey pucks to the head as a kid.
  14. Atari 8-bits are the other retro machine of my youth. Still have my 600xl though the dreaded ingot from hell damaged the motherboard so I keep it around but have other Atari 8-bits to actually use.
  15. Mine arrives Wednesday. My first new dead tree media in a while. I usually buy used paperbacks.
  16. I always browse the toy section at Dollarama when I am there with the wife who is buying craft supplies. Always a chance to find something nerdy buy nice.
  17. Rick Dynamite is so good but there are so many cheap deaths. I have made it within one screen of the 1st stage exit. So close.
  18. Yeah, it's my understanding they have not updated the tracking yet but everyone who ordered and paid for games has had their orders shipped. Just waiting on their arrival of which some people have got theirs.
  19. I already own this for the TI99 but damn I want this when it is available.
  20. If I could make carts I would make more Carnival carts to satisfy Rick Reynolds voracious demand. I think he is making a throne out of them.
  21. Argh!!!! Looks like some people have ruined it for the rest of us. I see the William and Luc will no longer be offering unprotected ROMs as some person(s) have started sharing them. While I support their decisions this completely sucks. Really wish our only option for protected ROMs wasn't limited to one person who no longer has time for this community due to real life. So many that I still wanted to purchase over time. We just can't have nice things it seems. <Insert grumpy cat image here> <-- I just can't be bothered. Too grumpy.
