    Atari Vault is only $7.99 on Steam. I haven't bought it...mostly becvuase I have the real deal hardware and carts. Is it worth it? http://store.steampowered.com/app/400020/?snr=1_620_4_1400_46

      I have spent only limited time playing the 2600 stuff honestly, but the arcade games are such fun! I've played tons of Red Baron, Crystal Castles, and Centipede!

  2. RickR

    BAH!

      Humbug?

      I'm not falling for the old banana in the tailpipe trick.

      Just watched this late last week and still love it! Eddie Murphy's laugh is ridiculous at times though haha

    Bought a box of "Bit O Honey". Can't say I've ever had this candy before.

      I find it in the 2 for 1.50 candy bags in local stores.

      I got a 4oz box full of individually wrapped candies...was $1

      See, you can't beat that deal for a chewy treat.

    Buying a used car is a painful experience.

      Rowsdower70

      We have a little used car lot we've dealt with in our family for a few vehicles. Makes it pretty painless, thankfully.

    Do your part to help the economy...buy more retro games!

    Ebay overcharged for shipping on an item I sold. Since the difference was over $5, I gave the buyer a refund of the actual difference. Good idea?

    1. Rowsdower70

      Rowsdower70

      Awesome idea. I had eBay to this to me with Argos, kinda. The auction listed the item with a certain shipping amount, but then charged me 3+ bucks more in checkout. Seller refunded it.

       

    2. RickR

      I've done this before, and past buyers never even left positive feedback. Felt like a sucker kind of. But best to be honest in all aspects of life.

    3. Rowsdower70

      Rowsdower70

      I left good feedback. I always leave feedback. I think most sellers do anyway. :)

  9. RickR

    Ebay sales have really perked up in the last few weeks. Anyone else notice the same?

    1. Rowsdower70

      Rowsdower70

      I haven't been selling heavy, but the items I have put up have been moving well.

  10. RickR

    Everyone here is signed up for eBay bucks right? Money back to spend on Ebay every quarter.

      How do you sign up for ebay bucks?

    3. Rowsdower70

      Rowsdower70

      nvm, I found it :)

    4. RickR

      RickR

      Good. It's free money...especially if you buy a lot on ebay.

    Finally finished reading "Atari - Business is Fun"

    1. Sabertooth

      That's quite an accomplishment. It's like reading War & Peace. Twice! It's just an exhaustive work. I hope they still do Business is War.

    2. RickR

      RickR

      You're right! It took forever. I passed it on to another forum member to enjoy.

    Fixing 5200 joysticks today (replacing flex circuits). Who needs a working joystick?

    1. Atari 5200 Guy

      Atari 5200 Guy

      I think the question is what 5200 doesn't need those.

  13. RickR

    Friday the 13th is a good day to play Atari Haunted House.

  14. RickR

    Going to dive into "Super Scribblenauts" on DS today. Recovering from surgery on the couch.

    Has anyone ever completed the 3rd mini-game of Atari "Pigs in Space"? The one that's Caverns of Mars-esque? Might make a good high score challenge

    1. The Professor

      The Professor

      That would be a good question for RadioPoultry. He posted an excellent review of the game in the Blog: http://www.atari.io/atari-2600-pigs-in-space/

    Has started watching Battlestar Galactica (1978) on Netflix.

      We have considered adding it to our list after TNG.

      The first episode is excellent. It's been a long time since I've seen it.
