I'm donating this because my interests have changed. I get much more enjoyment now from "tinkering and learning projects" than I do from "playing". The other stuff I've given away...I got more fun out of modding them than from playing them...so I thought I'd donate them to some actual "players"

Here is a big list of the stuff I'm giving away. I figured people would like it better if I had a "buffet style" instead of giving away package bundles. That way, you can get exactly what you want.

You were very close, stupus, but it was claimed a mere 1 minute after I posted it. Sorry. The competition is fierce!

I'm giving away an Atari 2600 Jr, 2 keyboard controllers, and 5 games. Its been A/V modded with the single-transistor mod. Also, the 9v power jack was replaced with the standard, "modern" one. Power supply is included. The front aluminum logo strip is loose, and the left cart port "tooth" was fixed with epoxy glue. It's not pretty, but it works.

I'm donating this because my interests have changed. I'm much more interested now in the electrical engineering of arcade motherboards...especially how the early Arcade motherboards like Atari's 1978 "Football" generated composite video from discrete logic chips, counters, and ram. I get much more enjoyment now from "tinkering and learning projects" than I do from "playing". The other stuff I've given away...I got more fun out of modding them than from playing them...so I thought I'd donate them to some actual "players" The items I've listed are free to anyone who appreciates the lore and history of the contest.

I've got some misc Swordquest memorabilia I'm giving away. - XL T-shirt (never worn...was for decorative purposes) - 3 Swordquest comics (originals) - Waterworld poster (original) - Waterworld manual (original) - Front and back of Waterworld box (not pictured) - misc posters (printed on glossy paper from inkjet printer) - Earthworld and Fireworld carts

Ok, NinjaWarrior, its yours. Just let me know where you would like me to ship it to. There are no shipping charges. Just "pay it forward" in any manner you wish.

Apologies if this is a re-post, I posted this earlier a couple of hours ago, but it didn't show up? I'm giving away an Atari 2600 Jr in a homemade case, 2 joysticks, and 5 games. Its been A/V modded with the single transistor mod. Also, the 9v power jack was replaced with a standard "modern" one. Power supply is included.

I was a HUGE fan of the arcade version, and I bought the NES version as soon as it came out. But once I started up the game, I felt totally ripped off: - Rygar doesn't say "HYA!" when he uses his weapon - He doesn't say "FHO!" when he jumps - You can't collect power-ups that let you shoot upwards? Or extend your weapon to cover half the screen? - the enemies you hit don't fly backward and crumble into bones??? That was the COOLEST part of Rygar!!! - the grim reaper doesn't carry you away when you die - where's the minotaurs??? They added a touch of Greek mythology to the ambiance - where's the headless golems??? They were COOL! - where's the giant creepy face that chases you when you dawdle too long??? - where's the giant blue shogun-warrior enemy that hops back and forth??? He was COOL! - where's the cool "SHING SHING SHING" sound when enemies need multiple hits to beat??? - there's no sub-tunnel underneath you so you can tell when the grubs are about to emerge - when the grubs DO emerge, they don't make their signature "creepy crawly sound" - the NES opening level music is so corny and cheesy! Where's the groovy bass-line background music? - where's the harpsicord music??? That was another AWESOME part of Rygar! Later in the game though, it did redeem itself somewhat: + The tree stump enemies in the overworld were pretty creepy + the background music on Eruga's forest is pretty cool + The spider level's background music is AWESOME + The sound effect when you beat the giant snails in the tower was AWESOME I also have the PS2 version, and my favorite part is the water shrine. Everything about it is so beautiful....especially the music. I'll often replay just that one level!

Does anyone know what "happo...happo...happo" means?

I have been planning to build an atari joystick to parallel port adapter, but I see lots of conflicting information out there: 1) The "Linux joystick parport drivers manual" says to use the data lines to power the joystick, and to connect the joystick ground to the parallel port ground. The problem is, an Atari 2600 joystick does not USE the power line...only the ground line and 5 switch lines. Therefore, it would seem that connecting it this way would do nothing but pull a parallel port status line low when the joystick is moved. What makes it go high? It would seem that you would want to connect the data lines (used to provide power) to the GROUND line of the joystick, so that it would provide a high signal to the status lines when a joystick is pressed, or no signal at all when not pressed. 2) This circuit below uses pull-up resistors: My question here is...would this circuit make a status line go low when the joystick is moved, and high when not moved, correct? Also, are pull-up resistors overkill on computers made in the last 10 years? Thanks for all your help!

Sorry...I got lots of responses, and I think your message got lost in the shuffle. Here are the prizes I have left: - PC game bundle - Original PSX - Jakks Spiderman plug-n-play - Jakks Nickelodeon plug-n-play Please send me a message and let me know what you are interested in. Thanks, rkenneha
