  1. All sold. Thanks I have 3. The following has been done to all of them: A new flex circuit (from Best Electronics) has been installed. Every part has been cleaned. Foil dots have been glued on to all buttons. Every button has been tested and works nicely. Just a note that I didn't replace any other parts, so these do have worn boots and various dings and dents. Any cracked plastic was repaired with glue. They aren't in the nicest cosmetic condition, but they do work, and they should work for a long time. I normally sell these for $30, but for Atari.io forum members, these are for sale for only $25 each (plus shipping). Buy more than one and get a discount.
  2. Wow! If you have any pictures, scan and share those too if it's not too much trouble.
  3. Check this out. Gamestop will offer Xbox 360 for FREE after rebate! https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidthier/2017/11/16/gamestop-is-literally-giving-away-xbox-360s-on-black-friday/#128fb95750a3
  4. It came! That didn't take long. All the way from Netherlands. This is what comes in the bag: I chose a Combat with a bad label (and no end label) as the shell donor: While I have the cart taken apart, I clean everything up with alcohol and a cotton ball: A quick test after assembly (and before I put the stickers on): And finally, I put the stickers on using a Yars' Revenge to make sure I orient them correctly:
  5. Mint seems pretty solid. It's been going strong on my old machine now for a while with no complaints.
  6. Not Linux, but... I thought I'd share this little laptop I mentioned before. It runs Windows 10. I bought this one a few years ago at retail, and it's super nice. It has no mechanical parts at all...no fans, no hard drive, so it's very light and quiet. It runs a 4-core Intel Atom, has 2 GB of memory, and 32 GB flash memory (as a hard drive). I got a really nice bluetooth mouse from a thrift store today, and it works great with this PC.
  7. Some nice complete games for $2 each.
  8. Indeed you did! Now with cleaned teeth...my guess is....Bumper Bash.
  9. Guess from the dentist waiting room:. Communist Mutants From Space.
  10. How exciting! Good luck, you'll do great I'm sure.
  11. Added an LED shop light to the attic so I can see my treasures better.
  12. Spoiler alert! I think the most creepy part for me was the awful bathtub/doorbell scene in the final episode. YUCK!
  13. Finished it a few days ago. It was excellent! Great show.
  14. One other "old-school" feature: It's a great game for getting in a few minutes of fun. Each level can go pretty quickly. Honestly, the more I play, the more it reminds me of old text and graphic adventure games. Great fun and I'm hooked.
  15. Count me "in", but consider me to be the first cut if we end up with an odd number of participants. I'll just do the food bank donation if that ends up being the case. Wish list posted later. Thanks!
  16. This was the pack-in game for the Intv2, wasn't it? If so, great choice.
  17. Riddle of the Sphinx? Maybe Dragonstomper?
  18. Has anyone else tried this game for the DS? I realize it's more of a kids game...but it really has an old school vibe to it. Why? Well, you have to type in commands and objects to use to solve each level. I found myself really thinking about the old text adventures while playing. I think it's a lot of fun.
  19. My wife and I stumbled across a "Raising Cane's" just south of Los Angeles on I-5. It was great. My wife had never been, and she enjoyed it too. I really like places that have a very small and focused menu like RC's.
  20. I'm an old fart I guess. I can only watch 1 or 2 in a sitting.
  21. I have not tried. I haven't even had time to open and look at the magazine. They are both still in the plastic wrap.
  22. Episode 4 here. Loving it so far.
  23. I also got a copy at PRGE, and they also mailed me one. I'll save the extra for the next junk box.
