I got a pretty neat birthday gift from one of my kids.  A new Timex Pac Man watch. 
I need to adjust the watch band to fit my noodle arm.  And maybe read the manual to learn if it has any special features. 

I purchased a Mattel Electronics Battlestar Galactica Space Alert on eBay. It's dirty, but it works! I'm very excited to have it, as this is one I remember so fondly from my childhood. I do need some help, though. There's no way I'm getting that tape off the back without ruining the instructions sticker. Does anyone know where to find a scan of that sticker? My hope is to print it on my inkjet printer and glue it on. Also in need of a 3D printed battery cover if anyone knows a source for those. THANKS!

I'm selling my SMS Model 2 locally.  I took pictures of it for the buyer.  Why not take a picture of the SMS Model 1 at the same time?  Here they both are for your viewing pleasure. 

SMS is a great system.  Highly recommended for anyone that enjoys the NES or 7800. 

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!

I AM SO LUCKY ! Best thing that ever happened to me. 😎

 
 

NERD ALERT!
 

The most blessed news I've heard in some time:
Level 1 reduced to Level Zero
Effective immediately (Sunday, Sept. 13), the Clackamas Co Sheriff’s Office is dropping the evacuation level for some of the populated urban areas from Level 1 (Green) back to Normal. This includes Wilsonville, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Happy Valley, Gladstone, Milwaukie, Clackamas, and Tualatin. See map https://bit.ly/35kgtbE for changes.

I actually uploaded a NEW video! 😎😜My early experience with a classic computer, silly story, what's yours?
 

I picked up a Samsung GX TV in working order and decent cosmetic condition. I remember when these came out and it's as ridiculous now as it was then!
Pretty pumped on the sound and picture.

I don't think it would become my favorite, but I think Odyssey 2 is probably the coolest console I don't own.

We're still in a very bleak place in Oregon, as wildfires continue to spread.  The sun is pink, and everything is grey outside.  It's difficult to breathe with all the smoke in the air.  At the moment, my area remains at "Level 1" of alertness with fires just a few miles to the south and east.  My family is fine, and we have a few options of places to go if we are forced to evacuate. 
The advice I gave my children is what I really believe.  I told them that our bodies and our memories and knowledge are all we need.  "Stuff" is unimportant.  We will be fine. 
I'm ending this status with a picture from a small town south of here.  It's a complete loss for many, and our entire community is in shock.  We will support each other as best we can.  I plan on making a giant donation to our local Red Cross. 
Thanks to all for your kind thoughts.  I do appreciate it very much.  I appreciate the few moments of normalcy and distraction from you all here in the forums. 

Happy Birthday BTB!

Happy Birthday BTB!

Sorry to be a downer, but out here in Oregon, things are very bleak.  Fires throughout the state are devastating lives and homes and entire communities.  As I type this, the sky outside our home is an eerie orange.  Fires loom only miles away.  It's windy and dry and hot.  I'm terrified.  We are packing bags tonight in case the call comes to evacuate.  I've lived here my whole life, and never experienced anything like this.  Take care of yourselves, everybody.   

I really like how the Scoreboard is now seperated by system with alphabetized games!
Nice job @Justin!

Wow this is A LOT less toxic than another well known site 🙂

Save the Ballblazer cartridges!

I thought that I'd share my first attempt at a teaser video for my upcoming channel. It's really an exercise in figuring out the video editor LOL!
Can you name the games that I captured? 

I've started playing 999 on DS. My kids recommended it. They say it's like a "pick your own adventure " book with puzzle portions in between story parts. 

I just wanted to share an overhead photo of my home.  It's finally been updated to show the solar panels we had installed last summer!  Sun-powered retro gaming.
