Played for the first time.

[Played for the first time.]

I've stopped collecting 2600 games for a bit with the way prices on gas and food are going up so now with no new games coming in the mail for a while I decieded to take a look around my collection room and play some games I had not had the time to try out. I just received my copy of Alien Greed II from Neo and gave it a go and I must say that I love it, after a half hour of play I got over a 130 points which gave me a "Halloween" rating ( Love the rating scale that comes in the box ) then I saw up on one shelf a boxed copy of "Mystery Science Theater 2600" from our own Tim "Sniderman" Snider. MST2600 is a Megamainia hack but for fans of the old MST show you will love it but what kills me is that i've had this game since 2002 and tonight was the first time I played it. My new fun came to an end though when I spotted a copy of " The Blair witch project " which was also programed by "Sniderman" but was released by Salem Frost Games, it's a Haunted House hack but for some reason I could not get it to fit in my 6 switch or my Jr systems, tomorrow I will try a Vader or a 4 switch to see if it fits.

 

I can see about 40 or more other games that I have not even tried yet but with 2 weeks off of work I will do my best to play them all.

 

[NEW! 2600 Berzerk Voice Enhanced Box!]

Your box looks great, I would love to have one and a box for just about all my loose hacks & Repro's. If you decied to make more of these for Berzerk, then please count me in for a copy.

 

[When did you get your first DVD player?]

I got one of the first systems out and it was great going to Block Buster Video when they first started renting DVD's, I was just about the only person who rented them so I had my pick of movies and did not have to worry about a movie not being in stock.

 

[9 To 5]

I have this old 20th Century Fox press release paper that has this quick description of what it was supposed to be based on.

 

On the first page you can also see the write up on "The Fall Guy" game that was supposed to be made. I bet Lee Majors would have loved some money if that game was made.

 

[ALIEN GREED II (SOLD OUT)]

Great game!!! I'm already hooked. I love going threw the mazes with the space ships, its fun ass hell..

 

[ALIEN GREED II (SOLD OUT)]

I received my copy a few days ago and WOW what a great looking game. As soon as I opened the shipping box, my daughter Lily thought it was the coolest looking game box she had ever seen. I will be getting my chace to play it on Saturday night, can't wait.

 

Great job Scott and thank you.

 

[omg...i just discovered the Atari Label Maker]

I love this Label Maker. Here is my baby boy Christian's first Halloween.

 

[Old Timer's 2600 Collection Sell-Off]

PM sent.

 

[Most disappointing game you got as a child]

Like most people Pac-Man was the king of let downs, but I would also have to say that Haunted House was another.

 

[what's the best 2600 joystick controller you ever had]

My favorite is the Ace I was quite surprised by how good this joystick is.

[What's so fun about Adventure after beating it?]

Not only try to beat it on level 3 but I used to try to get all of the items in the one castle, including the bat!!!

 

[what's the best 2600 joystick controller you ever had]

I agree with the High Score HS-20 being the biggest disappointment. Ugh! What a let down.

 

Well how about the HS-15 ?

 

[FS: Atari 2600 games, boxes, controllers, etc.]

PM sent.

 

[Do you try to get boxes for your 2600 games?]

Complete in box here too. I love the look on the shelves. Its more than just the 20 minutes a week I get to play. My basement reminds me of simple times. Games were all about the buildup, because there wasn't much in the way of graphics. If you cared about the Yar or the Rassak or something else you would play the game. It competes in my mind with the arcade art.

 

I have more in my Quadrun box than I paid for my first car...

I could not have said it better my self. I get a special feeling every time I enter my collection room, I feel like the little kid I used to be when I see all my boxed games and extras on the shelves.

 

[Explosion Takes Out AtariAge [Updated]]

You know at first I thought some things was wrong with my computer. I had to ask other members with Email if any thing was wrong and they told me what happend. I'm glad every thing is all right and Atariage is back on the net.

 

[What is your favorite and least favorite game for the 2600?]

Fav: Adventure

Leat: Lily's Adventure and Pac Kong

 

I think you mean "Lily's Woods" and it clearly says on the cartridge label "For Kids only" Scott (AKA NeoTokeo) made it for little ones to have fun with, not adults.

 

[My 2600 Portable Project is complete!]

All I am going to say is that if anyone is willing to make more of these, or ones just like it, I would buy one and I know there would be a line of others behind me willing to pony up the bread.

[All Atari records digitized on one DVD]

I'll take one please. I have been waiting for some one to do something like this or I was going to have to buy one of those record players that can record in MP3.

 

[Do you try to get boxes for your 2600 games?]

For me when it comes to collecting I collect complete in the box onlly. its not because I have a ton of money to spend, its the history and the information you find on a box. I don't have the most complete collection around, if I collected only the carts I guess I would almost be done by now, but for me its not just the game, its the complete history behind it all that only a CIB game, system or extra has.
