Lets see, I have been shopping for myself for a while now. I got two Starplex Game-Selex, and an Atari 800XL, a 1050 disk drive, a Colecovision, and a bunch of games ;)

I bought Lexis and Jammed and that'll score me one of the ChristmasCarts :D

 

But this wasn't so much a xmas gift to myself as, much like the other 5 or 6 parcels on the way to my house, something that seemed to be produced or promoted for xmas such that I either couldn't get it before or didn't know it existed earlier.

 

Twiddling my thumbs all year, then *BAM* a dozen things turn up at xmas. You think companies would space things out a little better...

I just sent off the check for a copy of Halloween-just the cart--$78-I won on ebay, and just spent $180 to get redemption and four refurbished 5200 controllers;so now I can actually use the 5200 supersystem--it was like an early x-mass with all the games spread out all over the floor as I tried them all out.

Shortened my need list by 2 carts:

Title Match Pro Wrestling

Towering Inferno

 

I need oh about 200 more games to complete my collection (excluding label variations, pirates, and games released under different titles but are the same game)

 

(Still hoping for Cakewalk for my Birthday ;) )

I started out with the following:

 

-Up N Down

-Mr.Do's Castle

 

And then some stuff from the AtariAge store.

 

:D

 

I'm good at spoiling myself.

Uh... Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee. It's Atari! (Infogrames. :| )

 

No new Atari stuff except a few 5200 titles from CPUWIZ. (Thanks, CPUWIZ! :) )

 

I also got my hands on a CIB Unisonic Tournament 2000, an old Pong clone home system we used to have when I was about 3.

Well as far as Atari goods are concerned, I got some stuff at the AA store (Asteroids DC+, Thrust Platinum, Skeleton+, and a Holiday Greeting cart). I also have a Driving Controller on the way, and maybe a couple of Lynx games.

But seriously, folks. Nah, I bought that boxed 2600 that I mentioned in a different thread. It's the unit that spawned the 'how do you clean your atari?" thread. Clearly, it's the best $15 I've spent in a while, if only for the entertainment value of that thread alone. :D

I bought a case of Armor All.

 

This joke has been run into the ground so much it is about 6 feet under right now.

 

I will die a happy person if I never hear another thing about Armor-all. *now you can all start talking about it, just to spite me*

For my birthday I got Frogger II: Threeedeep off of eBay. For Christmas I bought myself an "unknown condition" Intellivision console from an AA member and it works great. :D

 

To each their own...

I am SO jealous! I need to start looking for uprights and that one would be high on my list. Is there ever a way to find them cheap?
