Rocker67

Welcome, Rocker 🤘
I totally agree with you about homebrews. They really got me more excited about our beloved consoles.
One other thing that unexpectedly added to the excitement for me has been participating in high score challenges. Justin runs high score challenges here in the I/O on various platforms. There’s also the I/O high scoreboard where you can compare and compete on your own timetable.

Welcome to the IO!

Welcome, @Rocker67! I hope you’ll stick around and enjoy your time here. Lots of friendly people.
I also think it’s pretty cool that you had a Pong unit. I have always wanted to try one.

Welcome! 
 

I did go there. Zookeeper is the one that I have been eyeing in that batch.
 

Hello everybody. I am new here, but not new to Atari. I grew up on Atari and wished the market had never collapsed or they might still be making consoles today. I started out when my dad bought a Super Pong unit, so that was my first console. Then on my birthday a few years later I got the 2600. Had many great memories playing with that system. I went away from Atari for a while when I discovered the Vic 20 and then the C64 so I missed out on the 7800 during that time. I also had given my 2600 to my brother and never saw it again. I later owned the Atari Lynx and played it for a while before I had to get rid of it for bills. Over the years, I have recollected my 2600 library two or three times, but now I finally have a great collection and have most of what I want, plus I got into the 7800 also. I have modded systems for both and thanks to the home brew scene, an even stronger love for these two systems.
Thanks for having me on the forums and I look forward to all the shared loved for our system here. I look forward to getting to know everyone here.

Welcome to the I/O, Rocker!
If you go to the AtariAge store front, there's a photo that shows all the new games in this release cycle.

I was thinking more on this after I finished posting. I then thought about AtariAge. I bet there will be some new home brew at AtariAge the next day or two and maybe a few of those would be on the wishlist after the reveal they are about to have.

Good luck to all with this contest.
 
what retro item would I want for under 100.00? That is a good question since I really have everything I could think of for my collection. Most everything I am missing now are all almost over 100.00. I would guess a few boxes for some of my loose cartridges so I can complete my box collection.
One thing I just missed out on was the Special Edition Fire Emblem 30th Anniversary collection for the Switch. Most of them are on eBay now for around 100.00, some a little more, and some a little less so that is one thing I would also wish for.
