nofrills100 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Hi all - Well it's been a year since the last Hall of Fame voting took place - so the 2014 Hall of Fame vote is now open. As with previous years the protocol is: Each person is allowed up to 10 votes. At the end of the voting period the person with the most votes will be inducted. If we have a tie, then the person who reached the most votes first will be inducted. To this I'm going to add: no retrospective changing of votes beyond the day that you made them. Everyone should have a look at all the great 2600 collections out there on the Show Us Your Collection page: http://atariage.com/forums/forum/112-show-us-your-collection/ Here are the list of former inductees.Marco 2006CPUWIZ 2007Rick Weis 2008Iwan-Iwanowitsh-goratshin 2009Wonder007 2010Marc Oberhauser 2011Dino 2012 Atari181 2013 I'm going to set the closing date for votes on the last day of this month. 30th September - Midnight PDT - that's Pacific Daylight Time - ie. the timezone of Los Angeles.

nofrills100 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 And remember: The vote is called "Atari 2600 collector Hall of Fame"It is unimportant what exactly (Atari 2600 related) you collect.loose gamesboxed gamesprotoshardwarerom filespatchesflyerseceteraIn my eyes a collection is the sum of some or all parts.

nofrills100 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Schitti: for his collection, and his PAL rarity database. Rom: for his massive contribution to Atarimania. Pangasinan: Unique and rare items collection People have been too shy (or modest) over the last few years - more hard core collectors need to share pics of those massive collections out there.

Crazy Climber Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Ianoid for the massive variety he collects Toymailman for the insane speed he was able to get a near complete collection (without cashing out) Mayhem for the dedication and variety of homebrews Bfstats for the artistic originality of the wall and being one of, if not THE original atari 2600 collector Albert, obvious reasons Shadow460 because the world loves an underdog Tempest, protos are interesting and important and the scene needs people to take the time to share info on them instead of just hoarding them Nolan Bushnell because technically he is a member of atariage and even though people dont always talk highly of him I like him Rom Hunter, why not? The guy is dedicated to atari 2600 Nofrills100, The original hoarder, and I needed a tenth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bfstats Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 That is an excellent and VERY comprehensive list, but to set the record straight, I didn't buy my first Atari game until 1981 so I am certainly NOT "THE original Atari 2600 collector". Perhaps Leonard Herman deserves that monicker. However, between '81 and '90 I did go BUZZ-ERK acquiring everything I knew existed for the 2600. It wasn't until this web site and CGE 1999 that I found out how much I had missed - and have been trying to make up for it since. Thank you for the kind words, though.

S.BAZ Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 considering other factors where I can, but due to my focus here so far, it's all about the gamers in my awareness! Vocelli -- best HSC mod toymailman -- most all-time records - 2600 HSC SpiceWare -- +makes great games! the 5th ghost D.Yancey ToddRogers Northcoastgamer keilbaca -- long time 2600 HSC clubber & all-time Tapper champ JacobZu7zu7 Rom Hunter -- +awesome batches of information! (runner up: oyamafamily -- may soon surpass toymailman's # of all-time records) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) PacManPlus - He saved the 7800. Has anyone else almost single handedly saved any console from becoming complete dust and who the hell cares or plays that status?? Albert - for having the greatest Atari website in the world. edit.. whoops for 2600ers only..I was thinking bigger like for the atari community..sorry.
