Wife and I been watching these, they are great! Really brings back some faith in humanity. 

This made me laugh 🙂

Happy holidays, Rick! 

Good luck with the new job! Savor that honeymoon period!!

Yes Rick rest assured, when your time comes, I WILL BE THERE !!!!!!! Mwahahahahahah......er.......😜

NICE CAR ! 😎

Congrats on the new job!

I have a lot of great memories with this game! That's nice gift.

RickR to be clear, I was not being a smart ass (I certainly can be 😜) but yeah, my console since receiving it has what can only be described as a weird plastic "toxic" or "chemical" odor, like turpentine or a fresh black marker or something 😆something, and I mean STRONG, which seems to come from the paint or plastic itself (I have a RED model as well) consider I have a poor sense of smell but I noticed it immediately but assumed it would dissipate over time but to my surprise to this day it has barely subsided. I have seen others mention the exact same thing so not just me, I suspect a certain percentage that came off the assembly line may of had this issue that was later resolved. 

Well that sucks.  I have a very sensitive nose, so that would really bother me too.  

For a long time, something in my cabinet smelled like tacos.  Not a bad smell, but weird.  After months of wondering, I found it by process of elimination when we got new carpets and I had to empty out the cabinet.  It turned out to be a video camera bag that was inside a cardboard box!  

She's a beaut Clark! Nice find!

Whoooooohooo!  New TOY!  Nice.

I like it, I like it A-LOT !!!

I agree with StormSurge.  Normally I'd say not to because of value later but...it needs air.  Also...I didn't know HW made those.

It has been opened!  Looks good, although they should have made it BIGGER than the Enterprise, right?

 

You even have an arcade in there  

If you stop and think about it, that movie kind of foreseen internet hacking long before the internet was born.  Really a good movie.

Classic 80's movie all around fun to watch..

I always enjoyed that movie! I also think Matthew Broderick works so well in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" because of a bit of typecasting in that we've already accepted him as a brilliant hacker kid whose great with technology and gets in over his head. "Cloak and Dagger" is another movie from around the same time, maybe not quite as good but has a similar feel as "WarGames"

WOW!  Now that's cool.  

That's the real deal btw, not photoshop. I've seen this in person. There's also a yellow one that another owner had created, I remember first seeing it in 1998 I believe. Not a big fan of chopping the cars up but they are are unique.

That game is addictive!  Got it on disk although I downloaded it.

I have it on 5200 as well (it can be loaded via the Atarimax SD cart). 

I love these chiptunes!

What a cool peice!

Love these old LED games! Nice find.

Good news - I've found a file to 3D print the battery cover, and one of my children is helping me find a place to have it printed. 

Good season appropriate choice, Rick. I've yet to play it.

It is really difficult, but fun. 

And the final "death" animation is pretty incredible. 

Awesome! Which PRGE is that, Rick?

2017 I think. 

Of course -- I didn't notice the Defender art on the badge. That was my first PRGE (and 2019 was my second), and I went because it was the Atari anniversary. I was so excited for a chance to see David Crane and Garry Kitchen at their panel. I didn't know any other Atari developer names nor anything else about Atari outside of what I knew as a kid. 

HAPPY HSW DAY!! 

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year @RickR @Sabertooth and to everyone here reading this 🎉
