  1. Here is part II http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag160/TrekMD/RVG%20Images/Sony%20PSP%2026_zpsy8vntywh.jpg
  2. OK, here is my collection. Had to break it into two posts because it is quite a bit of pictures. I have boxes for all the games but I haven't taken pictures of all the games with their boxes/cases.
  3. That one will be sold in even fewer numbers if they follow their current pattern!
  4. Oh, I have a PSP and I love it. I have a pretty large collection. Maybe I'll post pics of what I have later...
  5. I saw that and just had to shake my head. So they intentionally created scarcity of this system.
  6. This is another game I had written a review for. Here it is: This is a game that needs no introduction. Space Invaders remains one of the classics in video game history and has even seen modernized versions released on new consoles and handhelds. Despite Atari having a hit with their 2600 version of the game (this was the game that put the 2600 on the map), they never created a port of the game for the 7800. That is quite surprising since the 7800 is certainly more capable and creating an arcade-perfect port would have been possible at the time. Well, fear not, for Bob strikes again and he has filled this gap in the 7800's game library. What Bob has created is a masterpiece for the console that not only looks great but also reminds me of the many options Atari added to their version of the game. Space Invaders on the 7800 has arcade-perfect graphics and animation. The sounds are as close to the arcade as they come as well. Instead of having to scroll through 100 plus game versions, you get to select different things to change on the main menu for the game. Here you can select the bomb speed, whether the shields are fixed or move about, whether the invaders are visible or not, whether bombs zig zag or not, and you even get to choose a color scheme for the graphics. These schemes range from the basic white and green to the more colorful ones created with overlays on the arcade machines. Space Invaders is a must have title for any gamer and this version certainly has to be part of your game library if you own an Atari 7800.
  7. I've bought from them and the service has been great and the items have been exactly as they list them. Searching the site is a headache, though.
  8. Thanks kamakazi. I have one standard and another Pro controller. Those two work just fine so it does not seem to be the controller connector.
  9. I thought I'd ask for help here. One of my Pro controllers is having issues with the D-pad and I can't move to the right. I have opened the controller and cleaned the contacts but that did not fix the issue. Could there be something wrong with the board? Any idea if this can be fixed?
  10. Welcome aboard! Very nice community here so you're sure to enjoy it.

    Hello! Thanks for posting about this. I was not aware of your podcast. I'll be listening!
  12. I guess these come boxed differently depending one when/where you get them. Mine came in a cardboard box but with the same artwork. Looking forward to listening to the podcast!
  13. Wow, that looks awesome!
  14. RickR, I'm sorry about your father. I think we were posting at the same time and I didn't see your post.
  15. Facing one's own mortality is not an easy thing and most people avoid writing instructions or saying anything about their wishes because of this. Writing down your wishes is not a bad thing. In fact, it is a good thing as you are taking the responsiblity of making those decisions from your loved ones. Just because you write it down doesn't mean you're looking to die or that you're suicidal. It is a fact of life that we all will die at some point. We just don't know when, though we expect it to be when we are old. Many people don't express their desires to anyone and end up being tortured by machines, tubes, and devices that are used to keep them alive artificially. Maybe they didn't want that but they never told anyone and their family just did what they thought they had to do by keeping their family member "alive." So, don't feel mortified. Even if some of the stuff you wrote was not something anyone would put in a will .
  16. I have a set of those and they are very nice!
  17. That is one nice set of games! You're going to have fun!
  18. Well, someone should hack Dark Chambers and just get Gaunlet made for the 7800 that way.
  19. That is an excellent deal. Go get a 5200!
  20. Hmm, never played a video math game myself. That 2600 game is simple but does the trick.
