jhd Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 I was watching Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. The plot involved this kid who had a wild fantasy life inspired by a video game. The name of the game? Swordquest Coincidence or shout-out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videotwit Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 That's nothing... My girlfriend is currently really into dollhouse miniatures, so today we took a little outing to the miniatures store for her to shop around. What did I find, but a dollhouse-sized 2600 console and TV set! It was really sweet, and if it wasn't $45 I would have bought it. It came with a perfect little 2600 replica, and a TV set with a picture of some weird fake-o space shoot-em up on the screen, not too dissimilar to Astroblast in look. It made the trip worthwhile for me, at least! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 Proof once again that video games are evil and lead only to destruction. Funny how no one ever dies on TV from too much accounting, or mopping the floor to hard. ing TV perpetuating ridiculous stereotypes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genki Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 For $45, I would at least expect that mini 2600 to work. Could you sneak in a digital camera and grab a few shots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sway3 Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 quoteFor $45, I would at least expect that mini 2600 to work. Yes, and come with a tiny live person to play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 Has anyone else seen that FedEx commercial about the Italian bowling ball bags? There is a Fuji-esque design on those bags that always makes me think of Atari. There was also a mention of the Parker Bros, Spider-man 2600 game in last month's issue of WIZARD magazine. Atari, Atari Everywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 The dollhouse 2600's were only $9.99 before the Antique's Roadshow rerun! Sorry... I won't mention it again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
