      I was just trying to be funny. Making a joke regarding your awesome score & Twin Galaxies. :)

      I suspect NSG has made an Intelligent choice.

      Great job and perfect 1st choice NSG!

  4. Just wanted to thank @HDN for trying to do a temporary High Score Squad while @Justin was tied up to keep the spirit alive. I'm glad the HSS will be returning, but if it wasn't, I was totally going to try to participate in the 2600 Pac-Man one. Maybe someday we can get an official 2600 Pac-Man High Score Squad!

      If anyone else wants to join, contact @HDN or me for a link.  We've got 4 gamers enjoying Pac Man level 6 this weekend.

      There's a reason we have Moderators and structured events.

      2600 Pac-Man via Discord was fun! Thanks to all who played. It was unfortunate that we were unable to do it here, but it was fun doing it on another platform. Hey, at least it happened in the first place! 

  5. My game collection cleanup continues.
    Recently I reorganized my Atari 8-bit games. Turns out I have a lot of copies of "Left Cartridge"! 😉
    I also have 3 games without labels. I'll be posting a video soon showing what they turned out to be.

      @socrates63, Some of the Atari 8-bit game boxes are way too massive. Usually I like to have complete games, but for those big boxes, I'm ok without them.

       

    3. socrates63

      socrates63

      😁 I actually have 9 of the big oversized boxes. I thought all Atari games were in the oversize boxes but apparently not. I recently picked up from ebay Computer Chess thinking it was in the big box because it had the same box art design style, but it came in a small box, about the size of a 2600 game box.

    4. nosweargamer

      nosweargamer

      My guess is at some point, they reduced the box sizes. I wouldn't be surprised if some games came out in large boxes that later got shrunk.

  6. It's nights like this I miss the chats. Looking forward to their return in the future!

      Understood Justin. I don't think we want you to go through any expense or trouble, or wipe the forums. My thought would be to try one of the external chat providers and then just provide a link via a "sticky" forum post.

    3. nosweargamer

      nosweargamer

      I agree with Rick. I don't blame you at all Justin and don't want you to feel pressured to start from scratch again just to add a chat.

      Yea, man, Atari I/O has a lot of topic history to have to start from scratch again. And I know setting one of these up is a pain in the rear. Find an outside alternative. Maybe setup an Atari I/O twitch channel. They have chat.

  7. I just passed 4,000 subscribers!!! Thanks everyone for all the help!

      No. Yes, the used Intellivision cartridge molds, but the chips inside are only compatible with the system they were made for.

      Ahh, gotcha! I had a friend who always swore he did it. Makes sense know that I think about it! ;)

  14. Been playing a lot of Mario Bros. lately. No, not that Mario Bros. THE Mario Bros.

  15. I just bought 2 more Intellivisions. Hopefully I will finally find a working Intellivision with a decent picture that doesn't have any problems.

      That would be nice to have. I haven't found one in my price range yet though.

      BTW, I do have one that puts out a clean signal....but from time to time it glitches out in the middle of games.

      Let me know if you want to part with a non working one. I'll give it a good home. :)

      @nosweargamer what social media accounts are you most active on that you would want promoted?

    3. nosweargamer

      nosweargamer

      You're welcome! It's become hard to schedule to do stuff on Atari Day, but it just so happened I was recording a posting a 2600 review on the 26th!

      For social media, I stick to facebook and Twitter. Thanks!

    4. Justin

      Justin

      Great, thanks @nosweargamer! We do a lot of stuff on Instagram and I feel bad that you're not there. I'm going to be conscious about logging into Twitter and our FB page to retweet and share your stuff! Thank you again for all the site shoutouts! :nintendo_mario_1up:

      I’m looking forward to 2084. I’ll be 79 years old then. I’ll be sitting in my backyard patio, looking at the birds at the feeders and my domestic geese and chickens doing their things. By that time, I would probably have an Odyssey 2 and a Channel F, and hopefully a Crystal Castles cabinet. I’d just be sitting outside, enjoying the nice weather with a cup of Breakfast Blend coffee and a plate of plums and honeydew melon when BOOM! One of those annoying brainy guys beams me in the backside. Ouch.

      I would be 110. If I make it that far.

  23. Well I guess my decision to get a Retro VGS has been made for me since it sounds like it will now be out of my price range.

      This is exactly why we don't allow Presales in the forums. Even people with good intentions underestimate costs and over promise what can be delivered within that timeframe.
