Ep 210: Donkey Kong Jr 7800

I was going to post these on Atari Day, but looks like I'm a little late. Anyways, I made more animated GIFs! Can you guess what games they're from without hovering your mouse over?
 

Mountain King & Title Match Pro Wrestling are spoken for 

Ep 208: Donkey Kong 

Thanks guys, I got lots of stuff to show off - at least 40 plus episodes.

If you like the Jag Bar you're gonna love Lynx Lounge! Join me as I review all my Lynx swag one drink at a time.

Just came in. Let me know if you want more pictures of certain game. Still need to test, but usually Atari games are built like tanks. There is also a Smurf with a bad label in the mix and Fishing Derby is MINE!!!!!

Today I found these laser disks (Pioneer) for $2 each.   I don't have a player, and I hear they are pretty finicky anyways...but I couldn't resist.  Also a couple of Playstation AV cables for $0.50 each.

If you couldn't tell from my avatar, I'm a big Beatles fan. R.E.M. is my probably my second favorite. It's hard to narrow down to 5 what I like, so here are a few: Monkees, Paul Revere & the Raiders, Interpol, Spoon, 60s-70s Motown, Herman's Hermits, Vampire Weekend, They Might Be Giants, Beth Orton, Inbreds (from Canada, there's another one out there), Land of Talk, the Smithereens, Pink Floyd. I have been getting into some jazz recently, and I really like John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Louis Armstrong. I will stop now.

Great trade with jmjustin6!   You can see I had to contain Diamond Bessie's excitement at it's arrival. 

Here's my Atari Day video!

                             

How I spent my Atari Day:
 

Don't be too hard on yourself!  It takes guts to even try.  You got my respect for trying.  And a little extra for succeeding.

It's not that hard.  Just takes time and patience. 

AF, believe me when I tell you that if I can do it, you can do it. I have ZERO technical skills. I'm the least handy person you will ever meet. You'll breeze through it.
 
This should be the benchmark for any DIY projects on here. "Can StormSurge do this?" If yes, it's SIMPLE. If no, it still may be easy for 90% of you but not for SS.

The black gunk is conductive grease that dries up and becomes non conductive over time.

These discs are something.  They are HUGE.  And you have to flip them mid-movie!  But the covers are fantastic.  Like old record album covers.
