Sounds like a cool game and an awesome weekend!

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.
 
 

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!

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.

Lol I belive I have those HuCards

I have two TG-16's, both do composite A/V without the official add-on as they have been modded. No original HuCards (I gave those away  ) which is fine since I have a TurboEverdrive so I can load any PCengine / TG16  game up and play on the TG16! Some great games for sure!

This is a post to list your extra game systems for trade. All classic and modern consoles are welcome. Simple 1 for 1 trades.

In order to keep things fun for everyone, we ask that you play by a simple set of guidelines when interacting with fellow members in the Forums:
 
 
1. FREE SPEECH & FREE EXPRESSION

(See Hitchens, Christopher). We strongly advocate free speech and free expression, in our forums and throughout the world. Free speech and free expression are what separate us from savages. We firmly believe you have the right to make your own decisions and we allow you maximum freedom to do so within our forums. With maximum freedom comes maximum personal responsibility. Use your free expression constructively as we will not allow our forums to descend into Lord of the Flies.
 
We are not going to disagree with your opinion, deem it inappropriate, and ban you. Quite the contrary. There's nothing we enjoy more than fostering debate. But that debate must be among respectful adults who know where to draw the line. It's the difference between a fencing match and a drive-by.
 
 
 
2. "YOUR RIGHT TO MAKE A FIST ENDS AT ANOTHER PERSON'S FACE"

That is to say, your right to freely express yourself in our forum ends when it infringes upon another person's rights. And it goes without saying that we’ll delete anything which could be construed as inappropriate at any time for any reason. We will not be held responsible for your views nor the views of fellow forum members. We’re all grown ups, so please be respectful, constructive and make it count.
 
 
 
3. BE NICE

This is a nice place with nice people. We're a community of like-minded classic gamers with shared interests, and we all found our way here for similar reasons. Our common love of Atari, classic gaming, and retro culture should be a catalyst for treating each other with genuine courtesy and shared respect, regardless of how strongly we disagree on a topic. If you're banned elsewhere you shouldn't try to join Atari I/O.
 
 
 
4. DON'T BE A "GOON"

Goons troll, instigate, spread negativity, beg for free stuff, monopolize conversations, complain incessantly, lack basic civility, and ruin the good experience for everybody else.
 
NO TROLLING NO FLAME WARS NO SPAMMING NO POLITICS OR POLITICAL IMAGERY NO DOXING  NO BEGGING NO ILLEGAL FILE SHARING NO PERSONAL ATTACKS / HARASSMENT NO FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION NO FALSE FLAGS NO CLICKBAIT / MISLEADING / MYSTERY TOPIC TITLES NO BLIND / MISLEADING HYPERLINKS NO ABUSE OF EDITS / VANDALIZING THREADS NO DISHONEST HIGH SCORES NO LEWD / CREEPY BEHAVIOR WE'RE NOT A COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT RESPECT EVERYBODY'S RIGHT TO BE HEARD BE POSITIVE! REFRAIN FROM SPREADING NEGATIVITY ONE ACCOUNT PER PERSON  
Don't be a goon or you will be removed, quickly.
 
 
 
5. ACT AS THOUGH YOU'RE ENTERING OUR HOME

This is a privately owned website that we put time, effort, and money into creating and maintaining. This is not the public square. It's also not the complaint hotline for other websites. We ask that you conduct yourself as you would a guest at a party in someone's home. A likable party guest doesn't drag drama and negativity from the outside world and other websites into somebody else's home, and they don't use your backyard as a platform to complain loudly about your neighbor. They don't beg for handouts, and they're polite when others are generous. Likable party guests aren't negative, cringy, overtly political, divisive, critical or argumentative in a friendly setting. A likable guest has civility and knows to leave politics and divisive topics at the door, and doesn't push agendas or political imagery on you as they enter your home. We leave the noise of the outside world at the door and come in with a blank slate make new friends with shared interests and have a good time - not find topics that foment reasons for us to dislike each other. A likable party guest is polite and thoughtful toward the other guests, knows how to  get along with others and enjoy the party. Please treat our forums and your fellow members the way you would want to be treated.
 
 
 
 
6. BE HONEST IN YOUR TRADES

(SEE 3, 4, & 7)
 
 
 
7. NO PRESALES
 
Presales of products that do not yet exist are NOT ALLOWED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES in the forums. DO NOT use the forums to directly solicit money for products that are not yet complete or projects that are still in development. Even with the best intentions, sincere promises of "ready to ship in six months" many times become tumultuous as months turn into years or even a decade without fulfillment. Please wait until your product is READY TO SHIP before soliciting sales in our forums.
 
 
 
8. HANDLE YOUR OWN BUSINESS

We're not mommy. Clean up after yourself, try not to make a mess and handle your own affairs.
 
 
 
9. RESOLVE QUARRELS PRIVATELY

We will not allow bickering, petty fights, personal problems, passive aggressiveness, drama and general negativity to infect this forum. Disagreements are part of life, it's how those disagreements are handled that counts. Address them in a respectful way. Resolve your quarrels privately rather than dragging them into the forums for everybody to suffer through.
 
 
 
10. TRY TO BE INTERESTING, MAKE FRIENDS & HAVE FUN!

Enjoy!

FIRST TRADE IS ON THE BOOKS!

Want to trade your DK jr. for an Intellivision Donkey Kong w/ box.

Hi all:  I thought I'd start a post for folks to list their extra/duplicate carts.  Post your lists, and hopefully, we can help expand each others collections.  Simple 1 for 1 trades.

Here is my list:
 
Atari 2600 loose carts
 
(my latest list is near the end of this thread....the shoebox picture )

I have been asked quite a bit about my own thoughts and impressions since doing my Colecovision and Intellivision Flashback unboxing video. Damn crazy views I got on that one compared to my usual numbers. Anyway, I just have not had the time or opportunity to plug my own back in BUT I can tell you from the info I have seen from others videos and comments etc, I will offer this:  Colecovision FLASHBACK: Sadly, the controllers are not interchangeable with the original ones, they were originally suppose to be but a last minute decision (likely to meet a quicker release ) changed that. The emulation is even worse than on the Intellivision Flashback. One real example is THE HEIST by Microfun on the Colecovision flashback pretty much running at 1/2 the original speed UGH! Not only does that kill the once fun and bouncy music but it kills the pace of the game, that is the worse of it though, the rest play OK. If your expectations are not too high (IE: you are not expecting a perfect representation of the original games) for the casual retro gamer just looking to quickly and conveniently relive some Colecovision fun it is not too bad a deal. Note also a dude on Atariage offering a sticker set helping this unit look much closer to the original design of the Colecovision which is nice as AtGames seemed to put less effort in this area than they did for the Intellivision Flashback. That said my original Colecovison, accessories and 128in1 cartridge isn't going anywhere.
 
Intellivision Flashback : Same issue with the controllers not being interchangeable with the originals (though a dude on Atariage offers adapters to fix this issue allowing you to use the Flashback controllers on original Intellivisions) Games play a little better than compared to the Coleco FB however a true fan will still notice some quirks especially in the audio department compared to the original but nothing too drastic. Again, for the causal player just looking to plug n play for some Intellivision fun not too bad a deal. I DO hope to get some time to myself to actually hookup and play to demonstrate for you all personally some of what i have reported here. Don't wait for me if you are on the fence for either of these though as you can find plenty of videos demonstrating all the new Flashbacks that are very thorough. Bottom line, these are not for the "purist", you guys can just stick to the original but the price point and all the included games means it is really marketed to those that had one as a kid and passes by seeing it on the shelf and they think "HEY! I remember having a Colecovision / Intellivision, this looks cool!" it is NOT for those who have the original hardware / games unless you are the type of collector who just has to have everything regardless or just want as a conversation piece etc. Had the games played more accurately or the controllers been compatible with originals right out of the box it would have been a no brainer, as it stands though you can decide if it is worth it for yourselves.
