    Would you like fries with that?

      WOW!  Now that's cool.

    I'm assuming you all would be interested in seeing a boxed Colecovision with the original foam inserts.

      Really nice example, Rick!

    It's easy to be a Kung Fu Master when the henchmen are so incompetent.

      My equally immature friends and I used to kneel down and let the train of dudes hug Thomas from the front. Use your imagination.

    Goal for the day:  try these out for the first time.

      Both products are AWESOME.

    My gaming table is bare. I may leave it this way and take a break.  I'm sure we all have that desire once in a while, right?

      Not so fast!  These items came in the mail today from Greece. One allows the use of a USB mouse on an Amiga or ST. The other allows the use of 2600 joystick on a 5200. 

      I think the 5200 will be out soon.

    More gaming-credenza improvements. 

    • Replaced 2600jr with 7800
    • Added Atari 800xl
    • Moved Wii down one level
    • Moved PS2 up one level

    And I've maxed out the switchbox at six systems.  There is a real limitation on moving the shelves around due to a lack of many peg holes.  This is the configuration that makes the most sense at the moment.  Thanks, @HDN for some good suggestions.

      Looks great, Rick! Now you can enjoy many more games while the house is full. And I am very happy you got your computer in there. I can see you love that thing a lot.

    This analogy isn't too far off the mark. It can be the pits, but if you educate yourself by reading the guidelines and follow some simple instructions, you'll do OK.

      I haven't played ET but from what I've heard, reading the manual is critical for success. Unfortunately, reading and following directions is a lost art(? skill?) for many people. That thing about everything you need to know you learned in kindergarten? 

  9. RickR

    YES!  Except substitute 40 with 50.

    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!

      That's the real deal btw, not photoshop. I've seen this in person. There's also a yellow one that another owner had created, I remember first seeing it in 1998 I believe. Not a big fan of chopping the cars up but they are are unique.

      As long as weather holds out we plan on it. Our grocery store is even shutting down for it. Not sure about other locals. In metropolis below us all hotel rooms have been filled at four hundred a room. Crazy stuff.

    I won a USB turntable on shopgoodwill. I have a bunch of 45's to play. Going to pick it up this Saturday. Back in to vinyl!

    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.
