There they go again mucking it up again. How can they expect a server web of less than 11,000 substandard PCs to connect their mighty bitcoin and hotel empire? There's more computing power devoted by amateurs looking for Planet 9 on https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/marckuchner/backyard-worlds-planet-9.

Oh for F---ks sake,'first Atati VCS original game'? There are more developers for the 40-year-old VCS than there are for that new bookend with an Atari Logo. (Thinking of creative things to do with the new VC/CS.)

You win the thread. /closed

I'm ashamed to admit it; I suck at Megamania. My high score went from 6,840 in December 2018 to 9,770 in August 2019. I'm going to take my Harmony out and play on the cart and see what happens. 45,000 for the patch... there's something I'm missing there like in Dolphin. For ages I hovered below 10k and I figured out a technique that got me in one game to 60k. I assume there's something like that in Megamania. Now I'm going to go and try to find it. Actually, it seems to me that most Activision games are like that. I sucked at Enduro for a long time and then figured out how to deal with the fog. River Raid, Chopper Command, the same. I just find techniques that work. Edit: I got 9,810 on my first try, which is my new highest. I keep losing all of my lives on the damn Pink stage, so my score keeps hovering around 9,000. I can't seem to get the leading down and my dead shots on the other difficulty are even worse. I just can't get the rhythm. And it's not like I get hit by the missiles, no, I keep getting crushed by those bastards. Now I'm going to get mad...

It's been almost two days; where is everyone? Atari has been saying for half-a-year, 'wait it's coming, it's coming.' What did the Abox finally release and no one tell me? I know, you'all are playing it and don't have enough time to come to the forums and tell the rest of us how great the system is.

So right around when the box releases in retail.

Now that I think of it, I wonder how hard it would be to have a graphic visualization like a fire that moved with the music. I did like the visualization you had Pat.

Fucking Brilliant

I too have a video problem like this. Luckily I use another Vader, but I would like to be able to repair my original. I would be sad if both failed--which they will of course--and I had to hack my Flashback 2. While I can Retropie all day long, there is nothing like playing Space Shuttle on a legit machine.

But the Atari logo sold 3 millions dollars worth of dogshit cat litter boxes. Crack one open and you have two litter boxes. See if I'm not right. On the flip side, the Atari logo is also responsible for the loss of 3 million dollars in sales of tacos. I want some enterprising young nutter to open up an Ataco box and fill it with tacos. Sorry, I'll show myself out.

RCA 27" with unmodified Vader. It also has a Retron 3, PS1 slim, Nintendo 64, and PS2 fatty. I used to have an original NES, SNES, and Genesis but got the Retron because I needed more room. I'm not telling you all about my NES Classic, SNES Classic, Atari Flashback 9, Genesis Flashback, Genesis Classic, or Playstation Classic that I connect to my 24" widescreen on the otherside of the room.

Thank you for this.

I don't know you but we're all part of a community and when one of us hurts, we all hurt. Stop hurting us man and get back to work. Prayers and best wishes.

We'll I've just discovered that the Atari original carts are not symmetrical. My tower keeps leaning away from the labels. Poo.

Do duplicates count?

Everyone had wood paneling back in the day. I'd take a picture of my gaming room now but I think I'd need CurlyQ to help.

It took awhile but here's my screenshot with my dog. I made sure my dog was in it so you know the screenie is legit.

I played this one on my Harmony cart and love it. I'd like to add a cart of this to my Galagon and Wizard of Wor Arcade carts that should be on the way soon.

I so want the "You Suck" patch and letter sent to a guy I work with. How do I make this possible? ? He's in his early 20's and has a jean jacket with gamer patches on it. I think he'd love to put it on. Right next to the Spider Fighters that he didn't earn. Bitch had a score of like 39,000. (I earned my patch with about 42,000) BTW, where can I actually buy the rest of the patches that are offered?

FIFY ?

Sure, come to our Atari themed hotels when its raining so you can play Starcraft or Unreal Tournament 2004 in a LAN party on our new VCSs. You can max out the graphics. Purchase your Atari coins at the counter.

Awesome. I'm a little jealous. ?

I don't use price charting exclusively, but it does seem to show trends and approximate value. If I just had to have a CIB, I wouldn't pay more than $90 or so for it. When I was looking to rebuild my 2600 collection, I had a spread sheet that I kept updated with current prices and would troll ebay and the like about once a week looking for deals. Because of my patience I can say I only paid over the Price Charting price for three games or so. Actually for S&G, I looked back at that spreadsheet and could only find SW:TESB and a set of Driving Controllers that I paid over the Price Charting price for. Empire was the first game I bought when I restarted my collection and paid about a buck over, and the Driving controllers I had to rush get so my daughter and I could play Indy 500 and I didn't want to wait. I got Beamrider--a rarity 5 game--for $5 less than Price Charting, and H.E.R.O.--also a 5--for $1 less. I started the collection about a year and a half ago and up to the last purchase, with a Price Charting value (at the time of each purchase) of $730, I paid $385. So even though it's rare, I wouldn't pay over 50% its current Price Charting value. If I were a collector, not just looking for the games to play but the boxes et all, I might go a little higher, but $450? Screw that guy. Don't be a chump.
