'No matter how much you like a game, eventually you'll want to get rid of it'

 

Hmmm, that definatley isn't true. Or maybe it is true for casual gamers?

I was wondering the same thing. It's androgyny at it's best. Surprised the name's not Pat. :P

Nnooooooooo! People of 1983: Don't sell your games! Hold on to them, or you'll be buying them back at ten times the price in a couple of decades.

"knock them out with something like Defender first" :rolling:

 

 

I was just going to say that haha. That made me laugh so hard. The game is worthless now compared to some of those treasures above :).

WTF? I can't get any G00gle hits on those "two established companies" and why the hell wouldn't Jens have just put the URLs right in the article?

 

There's no mention of using eBay, craigslist, half.com or CTCW to buy and sell video games.

 

By the looks of the photographs, one would think that such an article was written in 1983. The front of Jens' head looks like the top of Donald Trump's.

With a name like The E-A-T Report, the article should be about food. ;)

 

It's an acronym for Electronic Ass Tingling
