Excellent lot of loot there. Greatest American Hero - what an excellent gift!

 

So, how is everyone shaping up? Anyone not heard anything from their SS yet? Anyone not shipped their SS gift yet?

 

I know my mailbox is very lonely right now ... I has a sad as I wait ...

I got a package today from some stranger... I wonder what it is... :ponder:

 

I didn't get an announcement of it being on its way, so it took my by surprise! Now I'm not sure... if it is Secret Santa stuff, I shall open it on Christmas Day. If someone else sent me something, they'll have to wait for me to know it! :lol:

Twist MY arm... ;)

 

I came home today to a box on my chair. I had no idea what it was but definitely had an overseas postmark. No clue what this is!!! Wait!! AtariAge Secret Santa?!?! Could it be?!?!

 

So I opened the box and found all this:

Malted milk balls with no soybean oil! Yeah I lost those to the wife immediately. (She has a soybean allergy).

Last two were one of my favorite keychain games and what looks like a knockoff multicart. Sweet! A reason to bring out the Gameboy again!

 

Thank you Santa. This is an excellent find. :) Merry Christmas to all!

I've waited a while to get my present(s). I'm extremely excited of what I got. Being an only child that goes to college, I don't have a lot of patience so I opened it up as soon as I got it! :-D So Im very excited about what I got. I got a christmas card of course, and the ever popular(for some reason) NES t-shirt. I also got a PACMAN t-shirt that Im wearing right now as I type this. (sorry no pic). I also got 3 musketeers candy! One of my favorites. Got the mint that I tried pretty good to be honest. I also got a history-like video game console book. Im actually very excited to read it. It seems pretty cool! I also got an awesome Atari Force poster that i've already hung up on my wall. I've heard a lot about the comics though I don't have any personally. Maybe I need to pick some up to celebrate my poster :P anyone read them? They pretty good? Lastly I got an embroidered Atari Patch. Though to be honest, I don't know if its iron on or sew on patch. Though Its still pretty cool! Thank you to whoever got this for me. I'm extremely thankful. :)

That music is great -- is that a single POKEY?!?

 

..Al

 

I don't know much about Atari computers, always had Commodore. The website says The Czech Atari-enthusiast POISON composes his songs on an original Atari XE-System.

Yeah, I saw that and have listened to a few more songs, but it's still not entirely clear how the songs are produced and recorded.

From The CD inside cover:

 

Music was created on a stock 8bit Atari 130XE computer only. Stereo extension (two POKEY's) using Stereo Double Chaos Music Composer software by DATRI (David Spilka), based on CMC 2.0.

 

That means nothing to me but it does say two POKEY's.

The Encyclopedia of Game Machines is a cool book. I like it and I think you will too.

 

Very nice gifts!
