    But in journey you don't control the spaceship. Maybe I can get her to find the thing. I found a game for styx for the computer, IBM, I wonder if maybe thats what she is talking about. She's pretty pigheaded though and will probably never give in that she is wrong.

    Screw that dude, pickings are slim around here too. I don't mind people getting into the collecting but it will be a cold day in hell when I suggest the head out to my favorite game spots and pick up whatever they see. Whatever is there is mine!

     

    Turns out people have told me many times about their collections, in fact just last night at this bar. Some dude hears me discussing drunken Atari talk. He says hey I have pone of those in the attic, with Forst bite and a huge mound of games. I freak, stay calm and don't let him know you are too interested (that always scares them away) So I casually mention that I collect Atari stuff and would buy whatever off of him. He asks me how much, So I say I would give him maybe ten for the Atari system (Vader console) and we could discuss an amount when I see the game pile, maybe fourty for the whole mess. Then he is like well, I know they are a collectors item and I probably wouldn't be able to go under a hundred or more. Nobody has those things anymore. I was POed at this point and just walked off! I highly doubt he had much better games than FrostBite but I still would like to get that stuff back in circulation amongst people who care not to mentio add that Vader console to my collection. That jerk will probably leave the Atari there in this attic until he dies and they auction the stupid thing off for two bucks, which I won't get because I will be at work and my friends will have beat me to it!!!!!

    Wow, Jolter what do you do now? That was some crazy stuff back then. I would really like to see some of these (pardon me everyone for saying this) Professional reviews from the time they were truely new. It would be amazing!

    scoring is overrated anyway. I scored some the other night . .uh .. am I in the right forum?

     

     

    Actually that really sucks, I had a friend pull that on me, he shows me his old pile of Atari games and his mint condition Atari Jr. and offers to let me hold onto the games and stuff. hen I tell him I have a collection and he freaks out and decides he should collect them too. His idea of collecting so far has been hidding the console at his mohers house so no one can touch it. Meanwhile he forgets about it.

    I wouldn't spend anything on one either, I got mine for free. And didn't exactly enjoy it much. I guess the only redeeming quality they have now is for cool effect. Or sitting in a museum. I would love to see every home pong console in one place at one time. I would pay money for that museum trip!

    HA! That was hilarious, I did my best to mark myself as the director on Pigs in Space. But they are going to check it first. That was ridiculous, why the eck would they video games listed as movies?

    well, crap! I hate estate sales, their always six towns away at 4:00 pm when I'm at work. This sucks, and the always have the best stuff, my non-working friends always get to go and get loads of super cheap amazing retro furniture and video games for like a grand total of 5 bucks. Who runs these things anyway, a billionaire with nothing better to do than make 20 dollars and sit back and watch peple beat each other up for usless plastic furniture. CRAP again!

    So how many prototypes do you have Jolter? I can't believe you were lucky enough to get to review these games. I used to review CD's for a newspaper, and I kept them all, but I could only image how amazing it must have been to review Atari games. What a dream job. Do you have any of these reviews where we could read them. I would love to see what there is, and do you include a copy of the review with the prototype, that would make a great complete package. And maybe I'm going a bit far but a really cool box to store it in would be neat as well, sort of a whole package deal. These are not cheap game versions, so the whole shabang! would be amazing. Just a thought.
