Riddle of the Sphinx? Maybe Dragonstomper?

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.

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.

I'm an old fart I guess. I can only watch 1 or 2 in a sitting.

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.

Episode 4 here. Loving it so far.

I also got a copy at PRGE, and they also mailed me one. I'll save the extra for the next junk box.

Updated want list in advance of "secret santa".

I just got a copy of the M-Network 2600 version of Burgertime....and it's pretty lacking. The Intellivision version is awesome.

NSG did beat our combined scores! Very impressive.

It's the same author as "Defend Your Castle": http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/3352-atari-2600-defend-your-castle/ I can attest that game came quickly and was fun to put together. No issue at all here ordering another game from Simon.

Give Me My Pancake! by Mr. Atari http://www.mr-atari.com/pancake/ This one looks really cool. It's got the look and feel of a Game-n-Watch, which is a really neat idea. Plus, the ROM is available to try for free. And you can get a custom message in the hard version for just a few bucks more! And finally...only about $18 shipped to the US! Oh! And there is a PDF of the box that you can print yourself. Unbelievable! I ordered one. The game is pretty simple, but it's fun and unique, and I think we all should support such fairly priced efforts.

We're 2 in. It's like the climb hill on a roller coaster.....I have a feeling it's going to take off soon.

I just now tried "Space Rocks" on Harmony, and OMG....it is just awesome. I think I need to re-do my list.

I never did have luck finding one for you. Always the blank space on the shelf at Target Good idea ordering one on-line. Target.com has always been good to us.

Always appreciate getting boxed 2600 games. Thanks, man.

I sure hope you'll participate in future junk boxes. Well done.

Here is the stuff I originally put in the box:

OH MAN! So much good junk in this box. Here's some pictures of what's in here. This first pic is just my first pass at "must-keep" items. Really neat stuff. I think the complete boxed "Amidar" is sweet. Star Trek TV guide, a couple of boxed (and loose) DS games (I will put those to good use), Lynx "Scrapyard Dog" (WOW!), a boxed Genesis game, a Genesis retrogen, some neat looking PS2 games. I think I'm going to be busy for a while trying all these out. Oh! And the Ghostbusters pin, the batmobile Hot Wheel... This next pic is the stuff I put in that no one took. Wah-wahhhhhh. I probably missed a few. I'll post pics of the stuff I put in later. Probably a bunch of Atari carts should go here too. The loose Atari carts...and a nice Combat box. You can bet I'll be re-assembling that box for one of my many combat carts. Hey look, there's TWO combats in the box! I guess I should have put those in the "must-keep" pic. A really neat Underdog DVD set (I'll watch and then put in a future box), And a really cool Japanese Dreamcast game. Will it work in a USA Dreamcast? I'll find out. Finally, some comic books, manuals, etc. Gonna give these a read for sure. THANK YOU everyone for making this junk box so much fun! Really nicely done.

That's a cool article. Cheers to her on a happy retirement.

The junk box has arrived back at the mother-ship! Thank you to Greenween for shipping it out so quickly. I'm very happily surprised to see that it's still the original box, and that a lot of additional artwork has been added. I'll open it up and document whats in there as soon as I get my bearings here at home.

I'd look into a different upscaler. There should be no lag.

She's back on track...on the way to Rancho Ricardo now.
