    RickR got a reaction from Atari 5200 Guy in Squad Challenge - Enduro (Atari 2600)   
    First try. 
     
    This game is really a great choice for a high score challenge.  I don't think I've ever really played it before.  Very fun.  My issue is that I kept pressing the button to brake.  I need to get better acquainted with the controls.

    Thanks for posting that video.  What fun!  Great stuff Stormsurge!  The manauls are really cool.  My favorite item (and it's hard to choose) is the complete Gamecube game.  Looking forward to some NSG reviews on these games.

    I'm glad you guys like your stuff & hopefully Greenween will like his when he gets it tomorrow.
     
    It's my pleasure to give back to this amazing community & its members, even in a small way. You guys have been great to me & I don't have the space for this stuff any more and I have no emotional attachment to any of it. Hopefully it will find loving homes with you guys or someone else.
     
    Enjoy!

    For the 2600, you can put the switch in "Joystick" mode, and it works pretty well for Centipede, Missile Command, etc.  Put the switch in "trak ball" mode, and give some of the paddle games a try.  Pretty cool.
     
    On the Atari Computers, Missile Command is the only game designed to utilize this controller.  You press CTRL-T, and put the switch in "trak-ball"  mode...and it is the most AWESOME thing you'll ever see. 
     
    They also make some homebrews that use this controller in "trak-ball" mode for 2600.  There are hacks for Centipede, Missile Command, etc.  Really cool if you have a Harmony cart.

    This wasn't a part of the Junk Box contest, this was just the amazing generosity of Mr. Surge!

    I ask to trade for three NES games and he sends me a box of the finest loot!


    I'm blown away, thank you!

    THAT WAS FAST!!!!
     

     
    Spoiler Alert: I'm working on a review of Buster Douglas Boxing, which I got from Rick, and the manual came just in time. And manuals in general are really helpful to me, since a get a lot of games loose, and when I want to review them, I have to hope to find a manual scan online, which in the case of Buster Douglas Boxing, I couldn't find at all (I was using a picture of the arcade marquee for Final Blow, for my research, lol).
    This box was awesome!
     
    THANK YOU STORMSURGE!!!!!

    These games are most definitely not my cup of tea, so I'd never collect them.

    The lot I bought included Manhole-E, Donkey Kong Jr.-E, Tennis-E, and Clu Clu Land-E.
    A treat to myself with a Ebay gift certificate I received.
     
    EDIT: Another update is I'm looking to perhaps start selling things on Ebay. I only have a few things I wanna sell right now, but thought I'd give a heads up here first.

    I agree completely with rowsdower.  I'd only buy at bargain price with the intent to sell.  I find them offensive and they have no place in my collection.

    I'll have to do a video to show how I got my score.  Maybe that will help others out.  Once it's seen how I do it maybe others will be able to beat my score.
