  1. Yikes. Have you contacted Atari at https://atari.gamecentergroup.com/index.php?/VCS/Tickets/Submit . They should be able to help you or get you a new unit. Either way, good luck.
  2. Received my VCS yesterday and tried it out. I am pleased with the build quality of the unit. It is much heavier than I thought it would be. The OS and store front just needs a little tweaking. The modern controllers work well and are built nicely. The classic joysticks are built well in my opinion but don't seem to play so nice in certain games. I played pong ok but Missile Command Recharged, Centipede, Millipede and a couple others seemed to not respond to inputs. Hopefully this is just a software update and a patch will be forthcoming. Atari has stated there will be a large OS update in the coming weeks and hopefully most of the issues will be worked out. I am waiting for the update before I make any purchases in the store that require $. Overall I like the VCS, there are just a few bugs to fix.
  3. I'm going to get in on this and wish Al an early Happy Birthday for next year.

      Easy fix until 2100 (not that the planet will survive that long). ;)

  7. I would be in for at least one (maybe three!). Does Al have the molds for the CD too?
  8. The Leech Women on Svengoolie tonight.  I have not seen this one yet.  Looking forward to it.

  9. Happy New Year Atari Age from the east coast of the U.S.!!!

  10. I want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to @chicgamer and @CaptainBreakout for coordinating this years Secret Santa! I have seen this conducted for a couple years by @Grig before I decided to jump in and now wish I had done so sooner. This was a great experience and very fun. I look forward to participating again next year and hope our Secret Santa train conductors will do this again. They did an awesome job!!! Hopefully 2021 will be a better year for all of us! Have a happy new year and game on!!!
  11. I ordered a chicken and an egg from Amazon.  I'll let you know.

      Which will come first?  The chicken or the egg.

      With Amazon's service, you probably get a chicken that will lay a fresh egg for you.

  12. I bought some shoes from a drug dealer.  I don't know what he laced them with but I've been tripping all day!

  13. Gettin' jiggy with it.  Na na na na na na!

      Sure ya got your Will Smith, but for some reason the na na na na na na song that pops into my head is this from much earlier:

  14. That looks awesome Machine! I got the same set but haven't set mine up. I am waiting to re finish my basement this summer. I can at least get a feel for what it looks like from your pic.
  15. Thanks for making this Rob. The visuals look great. I will have to check it out when my VCS arrives.
  16. Die Hard is a Christmas movie!

      I agree, and have gotten into arguments about it!

      It's not just a Christmas movie... it's the greatest Christmas movie ever made!

       

      Take that, "It's A Wonderful Life!"  ?

      If anyone disagrees, show them the scene of McClane chuckling to himself as he uses the blood of a man he's just killed to scrawl "NOW I HAVE A MACHINE GUN HO-HO-HO." Also, note that he was thoughtful enough to take the time to dress the bloody corpse in a Santa hat. 'Tis the season!

  17. Watching Gremlins with the wife.  Punch buggy red!  No punch backs!

  18. Merry Christmas Atari Age!!!

  19. It looks like my Secret Santa really knew me! This is great! A really awesome advertising print for "Super Bug" by Kee Games! That is so cool! I will be framing it and hanging it in my game room. As a VW fan my SS really came through. I also love the font that the letter was written in, it's very retro. I had none of the games that were sent to me so they will definitely get some play this weekend! The candy was much appreciated and will be finished very shortly. Thanks to whomever my SS is (I have a good idea who you are), this was an awesome experience! Merry Christmas everyone! P.S. My wife got me a Retro Tink 2Xpro for Christmas. I will be playing these on the big screen.
  20. Been there, done that. I finally found a home with my current job after jumping around for a few years. It is always the thought that counts and if your intentions are good then there is no wrong gift, no matter how big or small. May the spirit of this season bring you peace and joy and may 2021 be a spectacular year for you!

      At least this time, Scotty knew to use auxiliary power without Kirk having to tell him to do it.  (One of my few criticisms of Star Trek II.)

  22. It's raining men, hallelujah, it's raining men, amen.  I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get absolutely soaking wet!

    Oops, sorry, wrong forum!

      Yeah, I figure you intended to post that to AtariGae.

  23. If you don't pay your exorcist, will you get repossessed?
