[Garage Sale Finds]

That's a bang-on assessment MaximumRD. The Flashback is what it is, the general public seems to have liked them. If you want the closest thing to real Atari hardware though stick with the 2 or 2+.

[What Are Your Favorite Pinball Tables?]

I just shot a pinball video about an hour ago, it should be up sometime soon

But that wooden Atari beer coaster is golden. Nice video!

 

Agreed!

Thanks Yo-Yo! Yep, Retroist is awesome. Have you checked out their podcast?

[AtariTel Telephones And The Legendary Steve Bristow]

Steve Bristow sadly passed away last week. It seems as though we've been losing genuine geniuses and pioneers of the video age far too often recently. My latest article at The Retroist commemorates Steve and in particular his accomplishments at AtariTel - Atari's advanced telephone division. I hope you'll check it out, and remember Steve as fondly as all of us do.

[Who else is a TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine fan?]

I don't know about all of you, but I'm very fond of the TurboGrafx and the PC engine. 

 

@RetroTech the TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine are some of my all-time favorite systems! For many years I had a website called TurboGrafx-16.com that was a sister-site to this one. I made the mistake one year of forgetting to renew the domain and I lost my entire site. It was terrible.  -_-  Someone created a site mirror of it though, which is still available here: http://turbo.emuunlim.org/systems.htm

 

Even though I designed the TurboGrafx site almost 15 years ago I'd still like to get it back online. We'll see.. So glad to see so much enthusiasm on this site for the TurboGrafx & PC Engine though!

[Kay-Bee Memories]

Here's another good one. This time a little later, Summer 2001. Notice the Sega Dreamcast Sega Sports bundle, the Nintendo 64 controllers, the PS2 systems in the blue boxes and the Gran Turismo 3 bundle in the red, the silver-boxed PSone systems, and the GameBoy Advances.

 

 

[Kay-Bee Memories]

Thinking back to good times at Kay-Bee Toy Stores in the mall. My first Atari came from Sears, but almost every game I ever bought for Atari, Nintendo, all the way up through Dreamcast, most often came from Kay-Bee in our local mall. It's always fun to share these memories this time of year. Hope you guys have some fond Kay-Bee memories too!

[Speak & Spell]

Did anybody else have a Speak & Spell growing up? Texas Instruments found a tremendously clever use of their speech synthesis chip. The Speak & Spell was introduced in June, 1978 at the Summer CES, making it one of the very first handheld electronic devices with a visual display. Speak & Spell enjoyed a very similar lifespan to that of the Atari 2600, retailing from 1978-1992.

[My Greatest Arcade Moment]

That's awesome greenween! Do you have Mat Mania for your 7800?

[Dark Tower]

Sounds like a cool game and an awesome weekend!

[Dark Tower]

Awesome photos Greenween! Have you had a chance to play the game with anybody yet?

[Dark Tower]

Looking forward to those pics greenween 

[Dark Tower]

I've never played Dark Tower, but looking at the box it says "A fantasy adventure born of electronic wizardry" and it certainly looks like the tower would light up. Seems like this would be a great game to try out sometime.
