PammyK

I've got two systems which are both giving me problems. I have an Asteroids that used to have the screen go blank intermittently. I could go in, wiggle some cables, say a few magic words and get it back working for a while but now it is offically dead. You can hear the game, just not see it. I also have a Ms. Pac Man that used to work great but recently, maybe in sympathy, has developed the same problem. I don't have the tools or experience to do any poking around besides jiggling wires and checking fuses so I was hoping someone might know of someone in the Phoenix area who could come check these out. I really hate calling people blind out of a phone book. Any info that can be provided will be greatly appreciated

That is so cool! I didn't get to play in that challenge but did compete in the Campus Challenge competition they had the following year or so. I actually was the champion at my school (Southern Methodist University) and got a free trip to DisneyWorld for the championships where I was one of the few females. I don't think my soon-to-be ex-fiancee ever forgave me for beating him That year the games were Super Mario Bros. 3, Pinbot and Dr. Mario. Of course, they didn't give us the game cartridge to take home that time

I know I told this story on RGVC way back when, but JerryG really ruined one of my game sources back then. There was a guy who went by the name of Renny who had some used Games stores in Phoenix called Games+. In one store location he had tons of old classic games he had bought. Really rare stuff for pretty cheap. That is where I got Halloween, TCM and Off Your Rocker to name a few. On the first visit or two I didn't buy much because the funds weren't there and I figured we would be making frequent shopping trips. It wasn't too long after that when I went in to the store and there was Jerry G looking through all the games and stacking aside quite a few to buy. I think he clued Renny on the DP Guide because after that all the game prices sky rocketed to DP prices. :sigh: So much for the $5 River Patrol

Yep, I was just plain PammyK back then. I probably did buy a thing or two or ten from ya Yes, I think they were Drew and Brett?

Met VGR a few years ago and RiffRaff was a roommate of mine for years in the early nineties. 845116[/snapback] I remember I traded my first dupe Pepsi Invaders to Riffraff.

I remember those names. What about Gregg Woodcock, VGR and RiffRaff? It seeed so much simpler then. Of course, it was a pain to host your own auction Pam
