Guys, Mrs. Rowsdower's hat is a piece of art.  So nice that putting it on my ugly head and taking a picture that way would only detract from it's awesomeness. 
 
Oh, and something about a couple of games.  But mostly it's about the hat.

Added two Swordquest games to post #1.  Folks, take this stuff of my hands.  Please!
 
The swordquests are gone, but there are many more on post #1 to choose from.

Sorry Rick, this is the only one, just found it behind another stack!

So I have this Atari XE game that I can't do anything with. Anyone need it and want to trade? Maybe a decent NES or 7800 game?
 
 

First of all, you can now support the show through Patreon. 
I appreciate all my viewers, even if they don't do the Patreon thing.

Since my last post, I opened a new loot crate (with some cool Batman stuff) and reviewed Slalom (NES), and "Really" Impossible Mission (7800)

 

 

Got these from Rows!
Didn't realize Low G is a Taxan game!
BTW, he snuck in the dragon. Any idea what it is from? Neo Pet?

The No Swear Gamer continues to help my INTV collection grow.

I'm not positive about the dragon, but I believe it is a Game of Thrones thing.  I don't really watch that, so I can't confirm!

Here's my latest after my trade with rows including some new additions.
 
Off the Wall is complete, but the box is in rough shape.
Golf box is slightly faded in the front, scotch tape on front, missing manual  and original foam.
I also have the INTV games posted earlier and you can check out my auctions for more trade bait.

Update: Here's a pic the Intellivision games I have left to trade.
 

We've had a lot of good trades go down, and I'd like to thank everyone for being cool and honest.  The whole point is to spread the fun with those who love and appreciate the great systems from yesteryear.  Trade something you don't need for something you don't have.  Have fun and meet some great people. 
 
My trade box was empty for a while, but it's getting big again...please go look at post #1 (and everyone else's lists too) and keep the trades going!!!!   I'll make sure to post any future trade pictures here. 
 
Thanks everyone!  -Rick

Yes, this was Intellivision's big hug for Atari fans.

AAS is like a poet; am I right? Peace and love indeed.

These arrived this week. Thanks Rick!

Tempest is also a great choice!  Any vector game really, since those aren't quite the same in MAME. 

I would be happy with a pair of Virtuality SU1000s...
 

tempest for me

That sit down cabinet Star Wars is soooooo cool!  Made you totally feel like you were in an X-Wing!

I think my "lottery" splurge would be a Tron machine, in all it's black-light glory!  It's hard to find a good image that does it justice...but this cabinet in a dark room.....oh baby!  It's not Atari, I know.

oooh, you know what the first one to get any of these also gets?
A free(loading) roomie!
Me!
 
I'll be waiting near my Pac-Man tabletop.

When Mattel ported their proprietary titles to the VCS, it was like we had stepped into a better world, an (Atari) Age of Aquarius, a peace-among-men environment, a world where the scientist approaches the invading monsterbeast and does not get ate up or zapped to little-bitty dust (OK, that would never happen).
 
It was almost incredible to us atarians cuz our families couldn't afford both consoles (the 2600 and Intellivision - that was it) but the Tron titles were so futuro-cool and essential, Lock N'Chase was Pac-Man next-gen (just smush pac and Mouse Trap together), and  - yeah Brian - froggy action for everyone!
 
M-Network might've simply been a logical marketing step, but after the Plimpton put-downs, where Mattel's Maserati zoomed past our sweet Volks beetle and shrieked donuts in our coughing face, as all we atari younglings ever wanted was to have fun, it was the 8-bit bullies handing over *their* lunch and everybody realizing the basic components of a successful title can indeed be broken down to simpler, blockier science and still be effective.
 
And - we get to play as Tron on our reliable VCS, get to smash the falling astros just like the rich people do.
 
It was peace and love, man.
Joysticks and discpads in harmony.

Thanks guys! As I scan more of my stuff, I will try to share it here.

This place is pretty cool.
