WERE THEY OUT OF THEIR BLEEPIN' MIND?!?!?!?

[WERE THEY OUT OF THEIR BLEEPIN' MIND?!?!?!?]

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.

[WERE THEY OUT OF THEIR BLEEPIN' MIND?!?!?!?]

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

[WERE THEY OUT OF THEIR BLEEPIN' MIND?!?!?!?]

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'!!!!

[September 1982]

My parents made my brother and I save our allowances to get our 2600. Pretty sure we got it in 82. I remember Defender was fairly new, and the guy behind the counter at the elecronics store wnated me to buy Berzerk (it had just released). We bought a 4 switch woody that day.

 

My best x-mas gift was probably the c-64 we got a few years later. Sadly it was also the day my 2600 started collecting dust.

 

SHAME ON YOU!! lol

[What should I use to clean the contacts on my carts?]

Armor All

 

Do you really think Im that stupid? Honastly?

[What should I use to clean the contacts on my carts?]

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

[What should I use to clean the contacts on my carts?]

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

[Atari Console numbering discovery]

I want an Atari 10400!

 

LOL, what does it look like?

[What should I use to clean the contacts on my carts?]

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?

[Anyway to get rid of Actiplaque?]

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.

[Do you play everyday?]

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*

[Came across this, may be Atari related, may not.]

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

[Came across this, may be Atari related, may not.]

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!!

[Anyway to get rid of Actiplaque?]

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

[Handle version cart or Standard cart?]

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

[Came across this, may be Atari related, may not.]

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.

[What are the numbers and letters stamped into my cart for?]

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?

[Weird Joystick Problem]

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

[Weird Joystick Problem]

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

[Removing smoke smell from your game carts.]

Soak them in Armor-All

 

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!

[Game Of The Week: Time Pilot]

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

[I want to know "everything" I can, can you help me out?]

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

[I want to know "everything" I can, can you help me out?]

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

[What's a Vader?]

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 want to know "everything" I can, can you help me out?]

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!!
