I thought I'd better grab a picture of our Toys R Us before it's gone. This one has been here close to 40 years! I remember buying Atari carts and Commodore games here. It's very sad to see it go.

I watched episode 2. Guys, you sure about this? It's so.......slow. Seems like the plot is very predictable. The kid looks and acts like Jake Lloyd. The "How'd this get here?" baseball scene about made me turn it off. The only part I've liked so far is the way-too-brief cameo by Billy Mumy. Please, no more flashbacks to the "not Penny" daughter stuck in ice. I get it. Traumatized. I'll give it a few more episodes. I'm sorry to be so negative. I do love the effects and locations. The robot is spectacularly done.

I posted a link to this challenge on the Retro Gaming High Score Challenge group on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1734325649935200/?hc_ref=ARTRj-vtUNdJ6Wh2Gqi_UBnyc7mleFbT34aoazcj_cuYd1fU-pNlzMVWMm9mwihNg9M Check those guys out if you get a chance. Another group of pretty nice folks with some retro games.

I just watched episode 1. i don't know guys. Seems awfully slowly paced. I'll give it a few more episodes....

A quote from one of my all-time favorite sci-fi authors via facebook: Is it just me, or is Ready Player One the cyber version of Willy Wonka?

That Space Invaders is upside down, kid!

Great post d. From your message and posts I see on Facebook, sounds like a great show.

It was still in there when I sent it out. It's my favorite 7800 game, and I already had a CIB sealed copy -- I clearly remember seeing it.

Your TV is pretty awesome too.

I was thinking about this too. I was thinking about taking a picture at each dead clown break...but I think our only legitimate option is video. I'm a total newb in that regard, but I think I just need a tripod for my little video cam.

Same here. I'll give it a try some time this week.

Season 1 is out now. Is anyone else going to give this a shot? The original show was a little before my time, but I have seen a few episodes.

Yes, it rolls back to zero. I saw it in the manual.

Pretty neat to see those old audio tapes listed. Hopefully, those sell quickly for you.

That Vectrex game is sweet! This box was awesome....an Arcadia 2001 game and a Vectrex game in the same box -- WOW. Hopefully, those appear in a future box (hint hint ) Here is what I put in. I can't recall, but I think a few of these I realized I could not fit after taking the picture. D'OH!

No need to be sorry! I'm glad you found a buyer so quickly.

It *is* a great game! With the paddle controls and the sheer speed of the clowns, no other system was capable of this game back then. I love when you hit that sweet spot where your guy get's stuck on the blue row and clears the whole thing.

So is it ok to rip the tag off my mattress now?

This game requires focus. Like, absolute concentration and focus.

I'm tempted by Blockade Runner. Let me see if I have anything on your "want" list.
