MrAtari2600

Everytime I find anything on craigslist the people are either completely unreasonable or never answer email. Maybe thats just my bad luck tho. There was actually a guy on Houston craigs list trying to trade an Atari 2600 for a car. Lol seriously? i was on kijii which is like craigst i found my free lynx o_O he lives 2 blocks from me im waiting for one more email response of when to pick it up and its mine lol. Maybe its your luck, I just looking at that list going oh my god because has a Sega CD and not just one im missing that i need 3 ( one for each genises)

Ok browsin craigslist I found this http://toronto.craigslist.ca/yrk/tag/544474000.html how i wish i lived in Toronto hes not bright either i hear

uhm... if it works like an NES clean the ends? lol i don't know clean it out check the connections

I want that! haha, I plan to live in country when im older like i said My friend has a garage room about that big and his parents built it and all. I said hey i could do that! I help build alot of things! I feel lucky i got the basement but Again I feel unlucky im outta space in it I guess its just a fact of life, arcade machines suck for space ^^ that and an overflowing collection

how many times have you heard this line in a collectors life? haha, im 17 i have 2 machines, and i run out of space. a local seller has so many its sick and I CANT buy because of space issues, he has over 40 classic arcades sitting in back room and IM one of less then 20 who know they exist. [ owner of arcade = my friends uncle ] HOW do you guys who collect coin ops make so much space available? and would it be recommended to live in country and build an entire building for these things haha thats my dream, to build a second homelike place to load in arcades & game collections:D anyways. can i see pics of your guys places for ideas on HOW to organize rooms for these massive pieces of history?

wowza! for freebies nice catch!

i would prefer the second one or a ZOOM feature allowing the choice of last 2.

Alright I picked it up investigated and hookedup an AC to it. The AC made it power on to a blank screen so i was like HORRAY! Slap in few batteries after searching my entire house, well they dont do squat blank screen.... DONT THINK its dead batteries but i am not 100% sure has anyone encountered an issue like this with their atari Lynx? Mine is a version 1, I have carefully dissasembled the *CRASH* haha kidding lol. I dissasembled it all to take apeek and it all hookedup correctly, The power input for AC adaptor is loose and worries me but besides that everything is fine and untouched can tell this wasn't opened before me this is the system, hey for free good deal

heh your wife's into FPS thats neat im more into the RPG scene >.< uhm yea,, theres many ones Try Gunz online??? It had my friend addicted for months Theres this other one called.... gunbound

are you looking for console or PC? Do you enjoy RPGS or FPS or?

Why would you want to do that? I understand some people take advantage of this and I respect your decision entirely, i just don't understand it i dont think, Wouldn't it be easy just to make it user happy and add in a thing that will RESIZE the image to your desire ?

Vectrex is amazing. Im so happy i have one. This looks quite simple o_o if i see one im grabbing it haha, never knew this existed even!

why can't my teachers ever be cool like that? The most we had was a laptop and i took over it hahaha *sat playing games and messing with settings for hours*

wow these douchebags I've played a Jag at friends and it was great =\ Anywho ok i think people should take this into consideration There is no BAD game systems ( well minus chinese system rip offs.... polystation....) Anyways Ok its a matter of opinion for a game system, not everybody says this is black this is white, this sucks this is good. You know Maybe some people liked other things, I love the odyssey 2, almost bought one on this website before too I love ODyssey 1 I even love the hand held units from MacDonald's! hah! sorry Nobody has the right to even say this is the worst in my opinion because thats all this is, OPINIONS >.> i repeated myself a few times in that rant apologies.

dannng man o_o thats one big room

I only have one! Crystal castles. Question for those who own many here! Do you have a garage and or basement on your home? It seems the key place some people convert for game rooms

I'm willing to bet that if M$ bought Atari this site that we know and love would cease to exist. I'm also willing to wager that it would look a little something like this... Nah. MS isn't that bad. yea they are. Microsoft if thats what i read here they are horrible They dont know much about pleasing people who buy their products.... Vista sucks. Xbox live sucks ( SORRY BUT I HATE SOME THINGS THEY DO WITH IT ) Their custemor service blows like sh**. Bill gates is resigning. what the hell is the microsoft surface? Look at them from another view, its a corporation to big for its own good, they care for your dollar not you. (mind u alot of corporations are like that) they care less if 25,000 people didn't like you, as long as they get their dollars >.> so we wouldn't make an impact if they did anything period >.> i dispise the company that makes the OS i run on hahaha, ( win xp) and my DC too.... (windows CE) Atari in general shouldn't die it should just shrink its views to a smaller company instead of trying to be so BIG it seems the people now want what they can't give in my opinion. Atari SHOULD AND WILL NEVER DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the average IQ of the people who chuck this stuff must be well below 90 seeing as the avg machine will sell atleast $50 lol i hope to run into luck like this i CANNOT wait to get my hands on my cabs again Evil warehouse..

force a red ring of death and send it in for free lol

i predict that they will last a VERY VERY long time and by the time the original carts are dying we will have reproduced more systems & games for us retro believers haha. mine are stored in a humidy controlled and temp controlled room uhm the ones from my aunts garage which is very damp. no cooling in summer no heating in winter all work after i cleaned >.< there was a dead bug in one of the carts I DUNO HOW! but yea, uhm these things are the best durability wise carts i've ever seen hahahaha I treat mine with upmost respect Clean once every 3 -6 months

the one here smells horrible lol the most i found was a sealed version of linux im holding onto for keeps sake xD it was only 50 cents!

I understand what you mean fully and im gona take this information and go off of it. Thanks so much!:D if you got anymore info that be great too THis machine WILL look good once im done hehe

uhhhmmm i wana find an arcade at a salvation army What is with this stuff ppl pitch? lol

Alright well here is the delema, I got a machine, which needs to be restored, Last time you guys heard of my machines was when i got them november thats right you head me NOVEMBER anyways to the story They been in a warehouse, and my father is finally getting the materials for me and him to finish the basement ( i was not allowed to put in house until its done) SO now that its on almost final stages (primer and paint soon ) i been doing my research! I found i need a few new parts and well hey carpentry comes in handy haha, Here is the picture of the real upright machine i own Now you will notice the black bottom piece? Well as you can see from MY machine * yes i know the damage alright? ill fix it.* i am missing that black piece that is the bottom part, What I would need: >.< Measurements of the wood, pictures of it etc etc. is it just 4 pieces of wood making a square shape or is it a box or what? IM curious to know so i can get going on my projects haha thanks much guys!
