    Bought this lot for a great deal! All of the games worked first try out of the box! Most with instructions. Love the Atari Advantage insert poster! All these also worked on the 2600+, had a tough time figuring out baseball.

    I am still trying to finish NES "Legend of Zelda", and I've made it to this second dungeon boss.   That's all I can do for today though.

    RickR just got outstanding medical lab results.  Lowest cholesterol number in over 20 years for example. 
    I'm not sure the reason beyond luck, but I have been exercising more (biking, lifting) and eating better (more fruits/veg, less sugar, caffeine) and less.  But I'm very grateful and hopeful things stay this good.

    Computer upgrade time!

    My trusty main desktop computer is dying.  I believe it's the motherboard that failed.  The built-in network adapter failed about a year ago.  And now the CPU is overheating.  No amount of reseating the heatsink or re-applying thermal compound helps.  My guess is the capacitors are dying, causing too-high voltage. 
    I searched high and low for a pre-built computer that wasn't too terribly expensive, but failed.  It isn't easy to find a desktop that has an optical drive (or space for one) AND the ability to add in a big video card (including power connectors).  Most of what I found was over $1000. 
    Instead, I consulted one of my children, who helped me pick these parts.  Total spent is $200.  I'll re-use a lot of my existing setup.  Including the DDR4 memory, power supply, case, SSD, and Blu-ray drive. 
    Hopefully, I can get my Windows license to transfer. 
    Wish me luck!

    Our local library has a "for sale" section where all books/cd's/DVD's are 50 cents and magazines are free.  Today, they had a big stack of Nintendo Power from 2010/11/12, so I grabbed three at random.

    A year or so ago I came up with the idea of a gaming battle jacket. (If you grew up in punk and metal, you know what this is.) I was struggling with a theme until Atari's new Recharged series. 
    Here are the first pieces coming together! Recharged buttons and a Missile Command Recharged back patch!
    Now to sew on this ginormous patch!

    MERRY CHRISTMAS - Sure I have posted before but it just came up in Facebook memories even though it's obviously much older 😆so seemed fitting to share again today since it is one of the few good childhood memories, believe me I was VERY happy just getting these at the time - That year when I got Coleco Galaxian and Pac Man mini arcades. 😆😎🕹️Also this image is so of it's time with the huge cabinet TV all the brown and gaudy decorations. Still fond memories for me though.
