My farewell to Nukey Shay... Rip
 

Nice scores all around well done people!

Yes, that was Halt & Catch Fire.  Yes, I really think they were talking about the TI-99/4A.  Coffee cup warmer, 256 byte register, 4 cycle wait, and Texas Instruments DID get out of the PC market.  Too many coinkydinks for it to NOT be the TI.

I detested hyperspace!  (In the arcade version)
It's was like rolling the dice, you never know where you were coming out... usually right before a giant rock smashes you to bits.  I like predictability in my video games thank you very much.  But in both versions, shields!

I agree with @RickR, I prefer the hyperspace.  Had fun playing Asteroids!

I like shields because the game is easier.  But Hyperspace seems like the best option really.  That's what the arcade game used, and it's a total gamble whether you'll survive or not.

Hi rusty, I'm Dad.  
 

39,490 -- so close to breaking 40k and that #$@#% saucer shoots me down.

Super cool.  I have an Atari Jr. and what I love about it are how vibrant the colors are even coming off of coax.

I had dug these out from a box under my bed to add to a list of people's Atari 2600 Jr.s on a thread elsewhere. Funny thing is, I really didn't even think I had any loose Atari 2600 carts left, some time ago, years in fact after getting a nice HARMONY CART that let's me load any 2600 rom on original hardware I had donated or gave away a box that I thought was the last of my original carts. I knew I had these two Jr's bundled together but didn't realize I still had some carts, kind of cool, think I will hold onto these ones if for any reason to have some original loose carts to stick into one of these little Jr.'s or any of my original 2600 compatible consoles I still have. Anyway, kind of cool I think, I really should give them more play time, though both mine are pretty much the same, I hear them identified as the Short rainbow on the label I guess, the long rainbow, I THINK PAL models are all black like that one 2600 VADER model? Not sure but man I would of loved to have had that one. Anyone else have 2600 Jr.s and like them or? Here are pictures I took, including various doubles and even a few 7800 carts, I still have a single 7800 as well fortunately  😎 Figured I would share the pics here as well.
