Well I didnt know about it and I didnt know there was another post about it. So................. I guess I wont be using this anymore, it just struck me as kind of crazy. But yes , they did make more copies then systems, which was stupid in the first place, so I guess they had no other choice but to dispose of them somehow. Maybe they should have encased then in concrete and pushed them off the western coast.

SICKINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was reading on the AA trivia page and came accross this, brace yourself!! Atari buried 5 million unsold copies of E.T in the New Mexico desert. Honastly, it brought a tear to my eyes!! Wonder how deep they are? GRAB YOUR SHOVLES BOYS, LETS GO DIGGIN'!!!!

SHAME ON YOU!! lol

Do you really think Im that stupid? Honastly?

Alrighty. I'll check that ou tnext time in there.

Oh, I went on the AA How To thing here and it says to use rubbing alcohol and q-tips.

LOL, what does it look like?

Well, I know you have to use rubbing alcohol, but at the CVS near me they had 70% Isopropyl and 91% Isopropyl. What one should I get?

Well I dont know if Im up to taking the label off. I may but I dont know if I will or not. Its not really that bad, but Im used to it.

Yeah, I try to play every day for about a half hour. But some times I just watch TV because I dont feel like pulling out the cable and screwing in that adapter thing that the Atari plugs into. *sigh*

Yeah, my birthday is coming up so I gave my Mom a call last night and gave her their phone number and a list of carts. So I think Im taken care of now! My collection (hopefully) will now be around 20-25. lol Edit: OH BOY MY 100TH POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY! lol

Oh, didnt know they had a site. Well Im in MA so I wont be taking a ride out there anytime soon. Maybe my first road trip!!

I have it all over my Spider Fighter. Did anyone come up with a way t get rid of it? Here is a pic from AA, but mine looks identical to that one. http://www.atariage.com/common/glossary/gl...actiplaque.html

Seeing all I have are standard carts, I try to stick with them. But I do like the handle carts!

http://www.yellowpages.com/sp/moreinfo/ind...202&q=Atari Check that out. I dont know if its a real Atari repair place or just some place that wanted to use that name for the hell of it. Just thougth I would let you guys know, see what you all thought.

I noticed on my Yars Revenge and Asteroids and a few others there are little letters and numbers stamped into the end label. What were these for?

Ok, listen to AJ, he knows a lot more then me!! AND NEVER EVER USE ARMOR ALL, thats just a joke we all have around here! lol

Mine looks like that and no trouble. Did you try giving it a good cleaning?

LMFAO!!! No dont do this! Yeah, the Yankee Candle Car Jar things work good, pull them all the way out of that little sleve and them put them in a small somewhat seeled place and let them sit! Make sure you get a scent you like or you going to have to do it all over again!

Yeah sounds like a good idea, if I have the game I'll do it!!

Cool!! Thanks guys!! I will check that stuff out!! See you around!

Alright, thanks for the link. I've had my vader for about a month now.

I own one of these Vaderes. Its a 4 switch 2600. Its all black! Looks really cool!!! Google it under photos, Atari 2600 vader

I would like to know all the general things to know about the Atari 2600. I own a vader so maybe things about that would be cool, but the 2600 in general would be cool. I know this is odd but I want to really start getting into Atari and would like to know all the cool facts!! Thanks in advance for your help!!
