    Finally finished reading "Atari - Business is Fun"

      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.

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

    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!

    Happy Holidays, my fellow Atari enjoyers.

    I'm up to 285 2600 carts. I think 12 year old me would have been king of the neighborhood back in the day with this collection.

  7. RickR

    Playing A8 "Rescue on Fractalus". What an incredible game.

      Congrats Rick! Your store looks great!

    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.

      I got to try this in emulation and thought it was really cool. Never thought about purchasing it though.

      You should consider it. Support the homebrew creators so they will make more games!

  16. RickR

    BAH!

    1. Rowsdower70

      Humbug?

      RickR is becoming burned out on many things.

       

  17. RickR

    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

      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. :)

  18. RickR

    An afternoon with a soldering iron is a good thing. 3 "new" 2600 power adaptors created.

    1. Rowsdower70

      Rowsdower70

      I MIGHT need to trade you out of one of them if I can't find the one I thought I had!

    2. RickR

      RickR

      All three are tested and work! If you need one, let me know.

  19. RickR

    You know fall is here when you start wearing a Mrs. Rowsdower hat.

    1. Rowsdower70

      Rowsdower70

      Yes! We get to use our own hats about 2 months out of the year.

    2. RickR

      It's really chilly here today. Space Invaders hat is on.

    I'm looking for 5200 Ms. Pac Man and Rescue on Fractalus. Anyone know a good place to buy?

      Ask Lance over at Video 61. He might have them.

  21. RickR

    Playing 5200 Pac Man. There's intermissions! It's a very challenging version, that's for sure.

      A classic!! Maybe the first game I played on a home console that blew me away!

      Same here. We've been lucky in my area.
