jmjustin6 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Hi everyone. I just started collecting atari this year. I have an atari 2600 with about 80 games and some duplicates. I remember playing these games as akid and i wanted to own them. I was told by a friend on facebook about this site and i am into trading. He told me this was the best place. I hope to enjoy all the fun on here. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmjustin6 Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 What can yall tell me about the giveaways? Are there high score contest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Professor Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 There's a High Score Club that we'll be launching in a couple of weeks, but it's not tied to a prize. Sometimes we have high score contests that we announce in advance. We usually have Wednesday Night Trivia in the chatroom and give out a prize, though we haven't been doing it for the past few weeks only due to logistics with a few of the Moderators here moving at the same time. There are scavenger hunts that pop up randomly. There are also unannounced things that forum members can say or do in the forums that will trigger a prize. Some prizes have been used 2600 cartridges, others have been brand new in collector's case. Lots of fun times here! You may want to check out Atari I/O Events like...
