    I went to Walmart yesterday to look for a gift for my wife, and I came across an Atari t-shirt.

    Im not a huge fan of gaming merchandise with corny sayings on them, but for $5 I could not disagree.

    I got a green shirt with a big ol' b&w Atari paddle in the middle, with the Atari logo in white on the upper right hand corner. It says "represent" on the bottom which I dot care too much for, but other than that its a pretty nice shirt.

     

    I'll also note they had a Legend of Zelda, Super Mario World, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shirt that was pretty rad for $5.

     

    I got a similar shirt a few weeks ago. It had the joystick, rather than the paddle. I've had some people ask me, "So.... do you actually HAVE an Atari?" I reply with, "An? No. I have 4 of them." Then run down my list.... throw in some rare game titles.... get a smug kinda look, and as Jay(Jason Mewes) would do.... "Yeah!"

    For those of you that may be checking out your local Walgreens to find this thing, I recommend looking above on the risers. I didn't find mine in the toy aisle, but in another aisle altogether up on a riser. It was in a display tray. I probably could have done this at the first three Walgreens and wouldn't have resorted going to the 4th one.

     

    Thanks for the clue! I'll have to check my local Walgreens again. I looked a week ago, and couldn't find it. This could be why.

    I'm not sure how much interest it would generate, but I could point you at a few publishers. I've got 1 book published, and I'm working on more. I went with a "Print on Demand" company the first time around. That requires an initial investment.

    I have Donkey Kong 64... which allegedly has the arcade version of DK in it... but I can't unlock it. I don't particularly like DK64, TBH.... but I'd like to play the port of the original on it.

     

    It's in there and once you find out how to unlock it, you'll know it's there. Gamefaqs has the information on how to get it, if it gets too bothersome to find, but Rare made unlocking it just as tedious as the rest of the game (though it was still worth unlocking).

     

    I'm sure it's worth unlocking, but I can't seem to get much done on DK64. I was quite disappointed with the game. I'm considering hiring a 10 year old to do it for me... but I doubt I could find one that would bother with such an "old" game.

     

    I'm still thinking about getting the 101 in 1, if I can find it. I saw the 50 in 1, and it looked quite cheezy. I'll pass on that one, but I'm still hunting for the 101.

    My local Walgreens only has the 50 in 1 controller... I'm gonna go check CVS, and maybe WalMart. I want one of these...but it sucks not being able to find one.

     

    Please tell me that the version of Donkey Kong on there is close enough to the arcade version that I won't be able to tell the difference.

    My late wife bought me that hat at Oktoberfest in Munich Germany back in 2005. I have a picture of a Scottsman trying to get a drink out of it. It's a keg with a wooden tap on the front.

     

    Nah -- whats awesome is that funky hat in your avatar! ;-)

    Hey! I just had an idea...

     

    What if Atari buried an ET cart assembly line (and is still supplying power and materials)?

     

    There could be BILLIONS buried by now...

     

     

    :rolling:

     

    Now I want to dig the landfill up... I really want to see an assembly line of zombies dressed like it's 1983 making E.T. cartridges!

     

     

    I have pictures and video of that.... but I can't upload it right now.

     

    I know money is tight, but if someone could hook me up with a few bucks, I can get some file hosting for the proof of it all.

     

    :P

    Several people are on the right path... it isn't as elaborate as a few of those suggestions though it would be cool if it were. This is a 25th Anniversary commemoration I'll say that... there will be few available, and they will be very special.

     

    AX

     

    In that case, may I request #3?

    :cool:

    I have the album upstairs, and a 10.2 megapixel digital camera. My album cover is in pretty good shape(IIRC)... gimme a little bit and I'll attach some pics.

     

    Edit: Not as lucky as I thought.... the cover has suffered some mishapse, although it is intact. I'll need to get a tripod to be able to get decent pics. The insert with the patterns is in very good shape, but was printed on glossy paper, which makes it a royal pain to get a clear picture of.

    It's not the economy, but a home reduction/relocation is making me put these up for sale.

     

    I have a Lunar Lander(original) which currently needs a new Potentiometer on the throttle control. I may be able to replace that to make it fully functional again. The trick is finding one, since Atari used a non-standard pot.

     

    I have some pictures posted of it in the Lunar Lander thread, it's in pretty good shape considering it's age and history. Once I can get to it, I'll get newer pictures of the whole cab. The coin door partially fell off, but I'm going to fix that this weekend. I have the manual for it, but I'm not sure where it is.

     

    The other is an Allied Paddle Battle cab. It has the motherboard, which I was told was the working one. Unfortunately, the previous owner thought he had given me the non-working one, so my dumb ass cut the tv out of it and set it out for trash. He never claimed the motherboard, and I've never been able to replace the TV. The machine is in great shape. I used it for my Atari back in the day... it gave a better feel to some of the arcade ports. :ponder:

     

    I'll also get pics of this one up.

     

    I am located just outside the N.E. Corner of Baltimore City, in MD. I hate to say it, but shipping is probably out of the question. I have no way to get them anywhere, nor the means of boxing them up.

     

    I'm not looking to get a specific amount for them.... nor an exhorborant one.
