      @Zedex. For some reason, Toby is written as a dumbass now. Initially he was "wise" due to his age. It's just more dumb-down.

      Yeah, TTTE isn't as good today as it was when I was a little kid... Now it's just dumb. The older episodes were well written, and reasonably interesting for a young children's show.

      I wouldn't say the racial hatemongers lot (or won). The white ones are just as bad of racists as the black ones. For ever Al Sharpton there's a Donald Trump. For every Black Panther group a Tea Party. There are no racial winners or losers.

      I don't hate guns, but the only time a gun should come out is if one is pointed at you, IMHO.

      @Fletch, you really believe that "People can claim they feel threatened by anyone at any time."? If that were true, I am pretty sure we would have a heck of a lot more shootings in Florida. And the 'stand your ground' law was NOT even the issue in this case.

      I don't eat there because the food isn't particularly good. I couldn't care less about political issues, my meagre paycheck goes to restaurants that provide me my money's worth.

  10. Need opinions pls. I've been looking for a crt tv for a while, finally have someone willing to sell me a 25" for 20 bucks. But it doesn't have rca ports, only one input for a coax cable. All my systems are av modded but I have a converter to connect them. Is it worth it? Does the cable connection/conversion degrade the picture?

      I would wait. Why does Florida have a CRT shortage? Lol

      If you can get a hold of a 2nd hand VCR, than you can use that as a A/V to coax converter, plus VCR's have signal filters built in.

    4. jetset

      jetset

      No I just wanted an older TV for the CRT, I've read here they are better suited for older systems. All my systems *do* look better on the older TV. Only one problem. My Colecovision comes up fine, then within 30-60 seconds starts to flicker and goes white. Never did that on my LCD. I've tried everything. I have the power switch mod and the video mod with the one pin plug to RCA output. Hopefully there's a fix, I'll try the VCR for the filter. I still have one in my garage.

  18. Berzerk enhanced from Atari- worth it? Yay or nay? Voice added - yes, diagonal firing robots, yes…any other enhancements? I’m seriously on the fence. At the end of the day except for 2 (tweaks), dropping $40 bucks on a game I own, have a sd card With the original and a few

    dozen hacks already…I’m almost just buying it to “collect” is then gameplay worth a new copy?

      Me personally...the added voice/diagonal firing and a slightly higher resolution. Only if you are a Berzerk fan. The speech isn't that clear.

      Thanks for your input fellow Atarians. I pulled the trigger! The 15% didn't work :(  But that's fine. I have ten games coming from the AA store, so Berzerk (and Mr Run N Jump) make an even dozen coming! I see an all Atari day or weekend in the near future!
