  1. 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! 

  2. I plan on live streaming Ghostbuster for the Sega Master System at 11:10 pm est. Feel free to stop by and say hi!

     

  3.  I'm closing in on both my 250th Atari 2600 game review and my 700th episode. So I'm planning to do something special for my next three episodes...

      Congrats on the incredible milestones.  Apologies for having to spend a lot of time with those games.

  4. Just bought a crazy nice lot of boxed Atari XE games!

      What an amazing collection! @nosweargamer I was blown away the other day when I saw this on YouTube. That must've cost a pretty penny! I don't even know where someone could find that sort of an XE blue box collection. I have some new in the box but nothing like what you just got your hands on. As 7800 guys the XE always seemed like an alter ego, the other side of the moon 🌖

      Totally @Justin! It was very lucky to get it, although not cheap (still cheaper if I bought them individually). I got a chance to talk a bit with the guy I bought them from. He used to be a MASSIVE 8-bit collector.  Honestly, I wasn't even looking for boxed XE games, but I couldn't resist when I saw it. It'll be interesting to compare these to their 7800 counterparts.

  5. Happy New Year! We are now only 63 years away from the great robot takeover...

      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.

  6. 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.

      😁 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.

  7. Only a couple more hours until I can watch the newest episode of Mandalorian!

      I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying this show. 

       

  8.  The Retro Junk Box should reach No Swear Manor by Halloween! It's like getting a box of treats sent right to my front door!

  9. Happy Birthday BTB!

      Happy birthday to @atarianx, too! I may have never met you, but still, best wishes.

  10. I really like how the Scoreboard is now seperated by system with alphabetized games!

    Nice job @Justin!

    1. Justin

      Justin

      Thank you! Much more organized and easy to find what you're looking for with everything alphabetized! 

    2. RickR

      RickR

      Can you come organize my loose cartridges?

      It's nice, isn't it? I was kind of watching Justin rebuild it when I kept returning to the homepage. The hard work paid off!

  11. All this month I plan to review Atari 2600 Paddle Games on my YouTube Channel. My hope to to review at least ten of them! It all starts with Night Driver!

     

    1. Justin

      Justin

      Looking forward to it @nosweargamer‼️ I just got a new set of paddles in the mail over the weekend, I'm looking forward to pulling out some of these games and giving them a try!

  12. Yes I'm back! I can access the site on my desktop again! I plan on getting active again soon!

  13. Storm Area 51?
    How about playing these 10 alien Atari 2600 & 7800 games instead!

     

  14. Sorry I haven't been as active lately. Life has been super busy, and a lot of my spare time has gone into making new videos.

    1. RickR

      RickR

      Don't feel bad.  I think a lot of us have the same issue. 

       

    2. Justin

      Justin

      I was just thinking about you @nosweargamer. I hope you are doing well! I haven't been as active lately either, I think we've all been super busy with work life and personal life. I always try to keep the fun times going here and keep activities posted, but ultimately classic gaming is a hobby for most of us and sometimes I get distracted with work, etc. to keep the lights on here. You, @RickR and many others who have been here for years are pillars of our community and I really love to see that you guys are still here after all this time. I hope everybody's having a great start to the Fall season and still having fun in the forums! 

  15. Tonight I plan on doing a live stream starting around 10:30 pm EST playing the Sega Genesis 6 Pak.

     

  16. Celebrating Atari Day by reviewing Fun With Numbers!

      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!
