Great! I have been so backed up on podcasts because of vacation that I just got to Alien Crush. I thought this was a really fast turnaround but it's been a month. 
 
Anyway, I'm looking forward to listening, I love baseball games!

I so love the shimmery blood smear on this version.

Done in-house as a prank by David Crane, and was based on his original version of Activision's Freeway (which featured a chicken). Included on the 2003 Activision Anthology and Remix packages. The fire button resets the game. Appears to be only 1-player, even though there are 2 score counters.  This is a fully playable prototype reproduction in an Activision cartridge shell with a custom label.  Price is $25 each (shipped).  PM me if interested, thanks.

The SMS II had Alex Kidd in Miracle World built in.
 
 
There's not much in there, I used a dremel to cut away a lot of it to fit in my Genesis 2.

Wanted to thank Willie for randomly sending me this copy of Midnight Magic for Atari 8-Bit. Had no idea he was sending it and it was a nice surprise.
 
 

Those pictures are screenshots from a video of my bedroom wall in 1994 

I think these are called cornice signs, if I remember my KayBee terminology. Are these yours, or did you take these photos at the store? I went into a TrU when they were dismantling this section to make what I guess was the R Zone, and they let me take a few of them.
 
Awesome thread!

Here are two images of the TurboGrafx-16 overhead display that mounted to the TRU shelf above where you'd pull the yellow tickets out to buy a video game. You can see the little plastic tabs along the edge that would have secured the sign to the shelf. Note that this is a newer sign because it has Air Zonk on the left side and Bonk on the right side, and Zonk came pretty late in the game for TG. Also the sign only says "TurboGrafx" rather than getting too specific with the TurboGrafx-16 logo or the TurboDuo logo. This is because they both shared one shelf area. If I remember correctly, there were two of these TurboGrafx signs because TurboGrafx took up two shelf widths on the aisle. By that time one shelf had a small, shelf-mounted TurboGrafx-16 system kiosk with tickets for standard TurboGrafx-16 HuCards, and the other shelf had a small TurboDuo kiosk with tickets only for TurboDuo Super CDs.
 
Also if you look closely you'll see a neon orange "strip" that has the TurboGrafx-16 logo stamped on it many times. This was a shelf strip that would mount into an actual shelf where price tags would normally be. They were just a decoration. All game systems had these, and I had one for Atari Lynx as well.
 
These pictures are actually screenshots from an upcoming video project that I can share more of with you when it's ready. It's been a pretty big undertaking. We'll save that one for another day. Enjoy!
 
 
 

 
 
 

I'm currently in the middle of writing a book called "The Unauthorized Atari 2600 Homebrew Companion - Volume 1".  I am writing it based on the same style as Michael D Salzman's Atari books - currently available on Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1?ie=UTF8&text=Michael+D+Salzman&search-alias=books&field-author=Michael+D+Salzman&sort=relevancerank , in the same look and feel of the 80's video game books - black and white print in the small digest size book.
 
For each homebrew game title, I am listing the following info:
Release Notes Gameplay Options Controls Scoring Design Strategy Analysis along with 2 screenshots of each game (possibly picture of cartridge label - if there is room for it, I have about 4 pages for each title to work with)
 
I have the first 30 or so titles chosen for volume 1 (about 11 titles are already written), along with a definitions page, and will be adding a "What is a homebrew?" explanation section at the beginning of the book.
 
Is there something I'm missing? Or something that you would like to see contained it in??
 
This is my first ever attempt at writing a book and if it wasn't for Michael, I wouldn't even be entertaining a thought of this type of project!
 
Thanks for any info!

These weren't really a steal, paid pretty much going price for all of it, but was still happy to find stuff an hour from my house at a store I went to for the first time today.

Here's mine, first time using a Suncom Tac 2 joystick with the 2600-daptor 2. I like it!
