Wow! Great job! I use silica gel paks & ziploc bags as well to protect my carts. Where did you get those nicely sized bags though for your loose carts?

I fell out of gaming sometime after the SNES came out. I had played Zelda and Chrono Trigger, but that's about it. Forward a few years later, and I was flying home for Christmas with EGM's 100 best games ever for reading material. The number 1 game was Super Metroid which I had never even played. I still did nothing until about a year ago when I got a computer. I discovered emulation, and finally had a chance to play all the games that I had missed out on for the first time. I collected for my NES and SNES on Ebay, and soon had got most of the games that I wanted. One day I downloaded an Atari Rom and Emulator just for the heck of it. I remembered playing Pitfall, Asteroids, Combat, Jungle Hunt, Yars Revenge and such at my cousin's house when I was young. The memories flooded back, and I went and bought a 4 switch woody off Ebay. I always wanted an Atari 2600! Now years later I have a bigger collection than I ever could have imagined as a kid. Maybe one day I will start collecting for the Colecovision.

I'm beginning to get into the rhythm of this! Definitely feels like a game where with enough practice rolling it could be within reach. This game reminds me of Mousetrap a bit, because I feel like I'm playing a similar tatic. Hiding until the coast is clear and then running like hell.

I've only preorder a couple of times... Just for must have games really. Most times I like to go rent the game first, and then decide whether or not to buy it. Learned that the hard way from buying to many crappy games. I was once pleasently surprised to get a S.T.A.R.S. cap from preordering a RE 1. I didn't even know they were giving any bonuses away. Otherwise I just wait for the game to come down in price. I'm usually six months behind in my purchases.

Slighty better. Fun game too.

Hello, I'm new to this forum and AtariAge in general. I have a small collection of games right now, and I don't have this one in my collection. I'm using a stelladaptor I got in the mail today on my emulator though, and it makes the experience much more rewarding. Here is my first score if I can attach this correctly:
