Any news from twit ?

[khryssun]

Since I came back to the forum, I haven't see any post from twit.

Someone got some news from him ?

[Osmeroid]

I know that he sold a load of his Atari stuff a while back but that's about it.

and what about Pitfall Harry?

 

Cheers,

I think he got tired of the classic gaming thing and bailed on the scene. To quote from his page www.videotwit.com

 

"Activity here has pretty much come to a standstill. Classic gaming is a thing of the past for me"

and

I am sick of classic videogames. An awful confession, but true nonetheless. I want to sell everything and get it out of my way, but still feel not at all motivated to work on selling. I'll put some more effort into it around the winter holiday season, I guess.

 

etc.

 

IMHO it's the same old story though.. and as we've seen in ourselves and in others, it's only a matter of time before his interest comes back again.. I'll bet in another 10 -15 years or so, he'll "rediscover" it again.

That's too bad, Twit was always cool to talk with. I was wondering where he went myself.

[Lemmi]

yeah, he will be missed, and i bought a couple of things off of him when he first started selling his stuff

 

4 atari 2600 games and a boxed Vader

And I got my favourite game as Prototype from him. I miss him too very much.

and what about Pitfall Harry?  

I guess, he is busy preparing an all new contest.

So did I, got a boxed Ghostbusters II from him, he was always cool. Once he told me he went to school with one of the original performers of MST3K. Hopefully he'll come back soon.

On a BBS I frequent, "twit" means a user who has been barred FROM posting in any of the forums for repeated violations of the user policy.

are there still BBS's around?

Telnet bbs.isca.uiowa.edu - I think it's the oldest continously active internet BBS in the country. It's not as big as it was before the advent of the web, but the fact it's still around is remarkable in itself; and it has a thriving Video Games forum to boot (scrolls faster than I can read actually, so I only browse it on occasion).
