Recieved Planet Patrol today. Works great with the Wico Command Stick

It's 10:07 pm, as midnight approaches THIS is the face of man about to turn 56! Muh birthday 🤷‍♂️😝More than ever I am happy and appreciate the little things, a good meal, a nice drink, indulging in hobbies and appreciating friends and family.

😎 At my age for my birthday I asked only for a nice craft beer to go with a nice dinner. Had steak and mushrooms for dinner and got 3 cool beers😆 don’t drink much these days but it’s a nice surprise on my birthday and a treat. And for a snack one damn hot Pepperoni stick!

While I halted mentioning celebrity passings some time ago I would be remiss to NOT mention the passing of this legend! Carl Weathers, Rocky and Predator actor, dies aged 76. Stallone will take this HARD. So long ACTION JACKSON! 
 

We had to get out before the rain, so we headed to the local botanical garden. I like the otherworldly cactus section.

More games leaving my collection -- tonight, these are going to the same two ladies who bought a bunch of my PS1 and PS2 games. I had no intentions of selling Xbox 360 games, but I know these ladies will give them a good home, so I decided to let them go. I love Xbox 360 and PS3 games. From a graphics perspective, I think it's perfect and the games have aged very well for the most part. I still play Halo Reach.
I did pull one game that was on their list -- Blue Dragon. I had to keep it as a keepsake. I bought it from the company store when I worked at Microsoft. The do not sell sticker on the game box has my employee number on it.
I really need to stop dragging my feet and just take my stuff to Pink Gorilla.

Got this for $30 works great

I like this version of the 7800 controller over the stock Proline or Painline controller. 

Got this for $30 works great 

Cold front dropped tonight after being 60 and sunny most of the day. Got One-on-One for the 7800 today for $7 super clean cart that looks to have been played like once. 

🕯 There’s nothing nicer than working on the backend of Atari I/O by candlelight on a cold winter’s night.

It was cool to see French Youtuber Manu Atari (GemTos) share out the ClubVCS Fanzine!
 

Ice to see you!
Our driveway is like an ice rink, but needs a Zamboni 

I find myself testing tape drives today. 

Picked this up today. Fun game for $4 especially if you're into Atari 2600 Bowling 

All the best to you all in 2024!

 

I used to use the Stick Stand lying on the floor, much easier sitting down

In case you're wondering, I said "yes."

Just a PSA for TG16 owners: posting this from elsewhere but this is not the first I have heard of this lately. Take your chip games out of their plastic sleeves. The sleeves are starting to melt/rot, ruining the games they are supposed to protect. I recently got two sealed nos games for my brother, only to discover the carts were ruined due to the rotting sleeves. The same likely applies for Sega Card games for the SG-1000 & SMS.

Christmas meal time.

It's a Christmas Miracle! Funkmaster V reviews Food Fight- Culinary Combat for the Atari VCS. A multiplayer game that will Poly your bus! #atarivcs #foodfight #polybius  
 

Yum. Salmon with basil butter and mushrooms with spices and coconut milk.
 

Surprise!
