Hi,
 
GRay Defender here.  I was born and raised here in San Bernardino, CA.  I played the early games in the arcade growing up and my first real gaming console was the Atari 2600.  From there I moved on to the Commodore 64, but before I let my mom sell off my 2600, I held onto the three games carts that I treasured the most at the time.  They were Adventure, Missile Command and Mountain King.  I fairly recently got back into video games and collecting.  Other than video games & consoles, I also love classic radios with cassette tape players,etc.  I also collect some vintage calculators, something about that phosphorus.
 
I guess last year I started my small youtube channel which goes by my moniker.
 
Looking forward to meeting you all over time,
 
Glenn

You appear to be attemting to launch game directly from the .ZIP FILE? UnZip entire folder content then go in folder and click DK.exe. 
I recreated your exact same issue trying to run from archive. Worked fine once I extracted the folder. 
 
Instructions from site - 
 
Install instructions Extract the Zip file and run DK.exe. Press C to add a credit, then Enter to start. Use the Config tool to remap the keys, to make it Free Play, enable full screen, and other options.  
Otherwise I have no idea. Works fine on my Windows 10. 

I've downloaded it but not tried it on Windows 10 yet.  It does look tough as heck!

So a YouTuber I follow explored an old video rental place that is abandoned in the middle of nowhere. All he showed was a shelf of Genesis cases and a bunch of VHS tapes. Something tells me that there is a lot more than just Genesis cases there. I bet they might even have things up to the N64 but that is just me speculating. There could be systems, rental cases, who knows what all could be hiding there!!!!! 
 
So I did a bit of research and found the location and contacted the Mayor's office in the town it is located in. I requested to be in touch with anyone that is responsible for the property in the very off chance they might let me go picking. My plan, should it become a reality is to road trip there, (about 1200 miles from me) grab EVERYTHING I can and sort it all out here at home.  This is an amazing find and should I be able to pull this off EVERYONE (within reason anyway) that I know in the hobby that has a a true passion for this will benefit from this seeing that most rental places carried multiple copies of stuff. It's a smaller place so I could be wrong there.  
 
Wish me luck!!!!
 

I don't think I have much "Not for resale" items.  The only one I can think of is Sonic for Genesis. 

Video game "junk?"  Count me interested.

I'm always down! Lol

Those are just lists - not a bulk ROM download like I have above. I'm trying to do a better (and updated) ROM bulk download for the AFP than the only one we have which is here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/258970-atari-flashback-portable-compatibility-list/

add 3 more to the fixed ROMs list for the AFP:
 
Donkey Kong VCS
Spy Hunter
Berzerk - invisible wall removed to play

I like junk!

Video game junk. Maybe some other stuff, but mainly classic video games.

In. Thanks.

I can't resist a good junk box mystery.
I'm in!

What kind of junk? Is it a surprise? But what the heck im in

Thanks to you guys, I have given away about 80% of the stuff I posted. THANK YOU!!

However, I still have some stuff I don't have a need for but I don't want to toss it. What I do want is to make sure it goes to a good home.
Here's what I'm thinking. I will create two faux "junk boxes", one large & one medium. I'm going to cram them with as much stuff as I can. Who knows, maybe I have enough for a third box.
 
If anyone is interested in these boxes, sign up by mentioning it in this thread. If there's more than one member interested, I will do a random drawing & send the box along.
 
If the winners want to keep everything for themselves, great. If they want to treat it like an official junk box and send along to others, that's great too. I really don't care, I just want the stuff to go.
 

Hi all, found this forum, read a few posts and had to join. This is only the second Atari forum I've participated in last ones were BBS's, so it's been awhile
 
I started out in the early days as an Atari authorized service center tech and repaired/refurbished more consoles than you could shake a stick at. Looks like Atari never left and I've still played it all of these years.
 
I'm an IT admin now, but I started out as a lowly bench tech. If you were good, they called you a  "gunslinger" back then  - which seems kind of silly, but it was considered high praise at the time. It was a name reserved for the high end guys who took care of the issues no body else had any luck with, or the ones that were considered to difficult for field personal. Not necessarily related to Atari, just in general.
 
We took contracts with any manufacturer who needed depot style repair where we could get decent money and secure a steady parts chain and factory level service material. I've professionally repaired everything from Bang & Olufsen, Macintosh (not the computer), Apple (the computer), Commodore, Nakamichi, Data South, Unisys, Daisy Tech, Atari (many models), Marantz and more. Nothing was thrown away back then - if it was of quality & had value,  it was all repaired. The Atari was no exception - the 2600's were extremely well made units, and made to be repaired. Actually... they were made to be repaired by folks who knew how to use o-scopes and logic probes. The manuals are geared to flow chart troubleshooting , but the real repair happened at the end of a scope probe. The flow charts were for the new guys and ones destined for field repair. 
 
Anyway, a friend asked me to do a repair on a 2600, so I got into the loft looking for a few parts and would up finding all of my service gear, parts and manuals that I had packed away for who knows why (but I'm glad I did) - and it turns out... I can still repair them like nobody's business.
