      I wonder how much this has to do with the Coleco Chameleon, and the brand managers believing that "amateur developers" have damaged the Coleco brand?

      No doubt that the Coleco brand took a major credibility hit with that fiasco.

      It seems it's an issue with the ColecoVision trademark being used for mature games that they are cracking down on so that their record looks good because they are in talks with some larger companies apparently. Makes sense and I am behind Coleco on this.

  4. Talked to ArenaFoot, thankfully his house did not flood, but he's without internet.

      I would, but I don't have that movie. I still have yet to see it. (Though I did score big with a huge box of over two hundred movies from a yard sale, among which were the 2003 Peter Pan movie, Stand By Me, and the Home Alone movies.

  8. One of my classmates sent me a message that her mom was going to throw away her brother's old game consoles. I'm trying to get in touch with her now to offer them a loving home. She said it was a lot of SNES and Genesis stuff, so wish me luck!

      Well, it ended up being a Sega Genesis model 1 complete in great shape, a PS driving controller, and a couple of other controllers, but it was free!

      If it makes you feel any better Rowsdower I've grown up in the world of Cardiology and can say that the technology and procedures that make stents possible are today lightyears ahead of where they once were. It can certainly be a scary, life-changing event, but know that this is pretty routine in most cases and a good Cardiologist will see it through, no problems. The entire Atari I/O team will have you and your father in our thoughts and prayers. Best wishes!

      Thanks for letting us know. We've been working with ip board but they claim not to see an issue. Clearly there is one. Thanks for the info!

      Thanks Rowsdower! We're trying to get this resolved.

      RIP Gene Wilder. You portrayed the more fatherly, kind side of Wonka very well.

  18. I assure you, I'm not withholding information about my USPS claim. I'll be back here to update when I hear something, but until then I'm going to be taking a break from Atari.IO for a while. Sorry I seem to have disappointed so many.

      It's not your fault. Whoever thinks it is...come talk to me. Do not feel bad about it.

  19. Asking for prayers and positive thoughts for my Dad. He was supposed to go and have a stint put in an artery today, but they found an earlier stint had collapsed and he's going to require a bypass.

  20. It has been a long time since I've hit Garage Sales. I have a handful this morning to go to. :)

      Nada! Not a gaming item to be found unless you count a Hoyle Windows 95 card game collection.
