shadow460 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Ah, the unglorious task of cleaning carts. It's something I get to do every time I bring games in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Adventure II went on sale in November... (wait for it...) 1995! ..Al Adventure II wasn't even a gleam in my eye back in 1995! Ah crap, we shoulda included old programming books instead of [CENSORED], which we initially thought everybody would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Rose Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hey - I think I have a couple of those books!!! I have the Sendmail book... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Rose Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 After these dry (with the help of a fan blowing on them) I have another batch of nearly 100 carts to do the same to. Wow! What lucky AA fan gets to blow on the new cartridges? Talk about dream jobs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonie Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Nice Travertine floor I was wondering if anyone would comment on the floor. ..Al I've got 2000 sq ft of the same floor. Best ten grand I ever spent on the house. Nothing beats real stone floors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atwwong Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Another day, more work on Adventure II. Here are more pictures of a rather unglorious task that needs to be done in order to get a 5200 homebrew game out the door.. Scrubbing 5200 carts under the sink: A batch of 100 5200 carts drying under the, uhh, not so hot glare of fluorescent lights: After these dry (with the help of a fan blowing on them) I have another batch of nearly 100 carts to do the same to. Then I can check yet another item off my list. ..Al There's too many of them... (quote from SW EpVI) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Allan Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Here's a picture of the Adventure II label sheets I printed out. ..Al Do you have those sheets specially cut for those labels? It's funny you put that picture as your avatar. I liked that picture enough to make it my desktop picture. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Do you have those sheets specially cut for those labels? They are the same sheets for 2600 main labels as the 5200 labels are the same size (just rotated for the 5200--clever Atari). It's funny you put that picture as your avatar. I liked that picture enough to make it my desktop picture. I like how it turned out also.. I've attached a higher resolution version. ..Al 5200_carts.jpg.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've attached a higher resolution version. ..Al Sorry, when I said 'those labels', I meant both the 2600 and 5200 labels. I was just curious if you could actually buy them with that size label pre-cut. I like the 8-bit classics label sheets but I don't ever use the end labels since I mostly make 5200 carts. Thanks for the high-res picture. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are die-cut sheets. I have different sheets for end labels and main labels precisely for this reason. Thanks for the high-res picture. You're welcome! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert has been locked up and secluded in his resort all winter long working on these carts. I am sure a few screws are coming loose. For those that haven't seen the Shining, here is the 30 second version... by bunnies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
