Crazy Climber Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I nominate myself as the youngest Atari 2600 collector and the youngest 2600 hacker. I nominate you as the most annoying youngest AtariAge member. How's that ultra rare heavy sixer of yours doing? Still making noise from the speaker holes? Don't forget about the Air Raid box flap his imaginary friend found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) As for the hall of fame my vote goes to Chuys450 even though 99 percent of the Atari world has no fucking clue who he is let alone how massive his collection is.

rolenta Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I'll nominate good ole Cassidy for Hall of Famer. Great guy. Until he turns out to be a serial killer. ......... Or a terrorist! Anyone see the movie United 93? The terrrorist pilot is a spliting image of Cassidy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 never got around to see that movie.....i'll have to check it out now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bfstats Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Since this encourages votes for those with serious collections AND for those who have contributed to the community, I nominate the following, in no particular order: Cassidy and Nicole Nolen CPUWIZ and ShyOne Marc Oberhauser Tempest rolenta Albert and Alex Sean, John, and Joe, the Digital Press guys Randy Crihfield Lee Krueger Curt Vendel Having a big collection is great, but it is the contributions from people like those listed above that have formed this community, sustained it with their passion for the hobby, and given it substance. Those of us who "merely" collect owe much to those who keep this cool hobby alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassidy Nolen Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Terrorist, eh? Not quite. I'm about as redneck American as it gets Other than that ;0) , it made my day just to be on the list. There are far more qualified folks in the field but its nice to be part of things. If you're even in DC, drop by for a game or three. Rolenta "almost" made it once, bfstats has been by before A few others as well. I'd vote, in no order: bfstats CPUWIZ Rick Weiss Wonder007 More to come....

Bean Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) I nominate myself as the youngest Atari 2600 collector and the youngest 2600 hacker.

Chickybaby Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) pretty good speller for 2 month old! Rick Thanks Rick, lol, better then I am most times. She'll get there. I also know we don't have the only born and bred Atari Baby. It's great to see so many potential Atarians of the next generation(s). I've had a very difficult time with this list limiting it to 10 people. I was surprised since I didn't think it would be this tough. I've gotten to a definite 4 for me for starters. Ther rest I'll figure out later... 1)Albert 2)Tempest 3)CPUWiz 4)Curt Vendel 5)Shawn Sr. 6)Wonder007 7)RomHunter 8. 9) 10) Edited April 26, 2007 by Chickybaby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the 5th ghost Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Ok it's time for the second hall of fame vote. Last year Marco was the very first inductee to my unoficial hall of fame. The rules are basic. You are alowed to vote for up to 10 people. If you vote for 14 I will only take the first 10. You need 75 percent of the vote to get into the hall of fame. If no one has that then the person with the highest percentage will get in. Also you can not vote for Marco since he is already in the hall of fame. Here is my ballot 1. Wonder007 2. CPUWIZ 3. Curt Vendell 4. Crunchysuperman 5. Cincynoti 6. Jerry Greiner 7. 5th Ghost 8. Rick Weiss 9. Bfstats 10. Ianoid Current Hall Of fame member Marco Wow! How am I on this list? I mean, I think I have an interesting Atari collection with some rare/oddball stuff, but next to these guys, they are in a league of their own! Now, if we had some head to head Kaboom! competition going, that would be another story! That said, I guess I do have a decent boxed Sears collection, including all the box # variants (minus 49-75108 Baseball.) I'm certainly proud of that accomplishment. I also think it's cool that parts of my collection have ended up in the collections of some of these people listed above, as well as others here.

I also think it's cool that parts of my collection have ended up in the collections of some of these people listed above, as well as others here. I put you up there because of 2 things. 1st you are one of the best Atari 2600 players in the country. You cuntinually break Atari 2600 records which in a strange way makes Atari 2600 games relevant. Although you sold a lot of your collection you still have Sears complete and boxed. There are some hard core collectors that don't have that. I think you still have Atlanis II boxed with docs. And the Kaboom display is pretty cool as well. I will admit that you were not in my top 7 or 8 and I pondered voting for you. But because you excell in two different areas. Competition, and collecting. I decided to vote for you. There different sides to collecting and I feel you best represent the player side.

Crazy Climber Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I think I misunderstood this vote a little, if we are counting the player side of things I would Like to add David B yancey to my list for holding so many current world records. I will fill my remaining spots with people that do a lot for the Atari community, give me a day or two to decide on that one. I thought this vote was for collections only, guess I should have read it all instead of skimming through it Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe who should be eligible for the Hall of Fame should be left up to interpretation for the person voting. It like trying to get a straight defenition on MVP. There really isn't one.
