I'm not a big fan of most Defender style games and the flickering seems to bother me more today than when I was a kid, but I did want to take part in the Challenge, so here's my sole submission:
93850

Check out these great deals K Mart has to offer.
 

Well put man! Baby steps maybe but at least some things are finally happening to spotlight the 2600 era, hopefully is just the start. While I think such items are targeted to us older gamer/collectors I would love if the low cost and ease of connection and accessability may draw in younger folk who might not of previously considered anything prior to NES. IF IT STIRS ENOUGH INTEREST to influence even a small percentage of todays gamers to perhaps research and learn about the pioneering of modern gaming, some respect for it, that could be cool.

No RetroN anything is needed but having a newer machine and a better image is nice. Our systems, modded or not, are getting old and tired. Cheap alternatives are always welcome and the fact that there is no crazy things needed to hook it up makes it easier with today's techknowledge.  But the REAL reason I like this unit is not for all it can do but more so the IDEA of what it is. Maybe more interest might hit the market to preserve the history of the pre 8 bit systems and carts. A little respect for the older stuff. New 3rd party products such as affordable alternatives for the 5200/7800 controllers as only an example. Me personally I am SO SICK of NES/SNES love in the clone aftermarket of convenience, it is about time we 2nd generation console gamers were offered the same love and respect in the market. Last it makes playing Atari more accessible to the casual kat that wants to be nostalgic or share with their kid the amazing games of the 70's and 80's without the (small I know) issues that come with Flashback systems.
 
Just my thought!  

What do you think the appeal is for this machine? I'm wondering if its just the hdmi? I'm playing my 2600 games still to this day on an actual Atari product so why do I need this?

Hey gang its a gloomy day today so I thoughId try some Chili Busters today.

Who remembers this amazing arcade translation for the one and only Lynx?
 

I have 3 cabinets that I hope to come across some day - Crystal Castles, Space Harrier and 720. One ove these day I might have one, or all. Plus I got to fine that Jaguar kiosk, you know that would look amazing for the show in the background.

I got my copy for Christmas, very cool game indeed. 

Thanks for keeping up on this. I thought this saga was over, looks like we might be moving into another round.

Ah, it is time to revisit the Lynx Lounge!

Albert posted a statement on AtariAge regarding Coleco that I think is deserving of everyone’s attention: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/265739-coleco-strong-arming-homebrew-publishers-and-fan-sites/page-42?do=findComment&comment=3777374
 
Many of our members are active on AtariAge and are also Coleco enthusiasts. The ColecoVision community has set a high water mark for classic gaming at its best. Just one example of this community is Eduardo Mello of OpCode Games who has done an outstanding job with bringing his projects to fruition. Eduardo has been a personal hero of mine for well over a decade, and in my opinion he's really hit it out of the park demonstrating a level of innovation and top shelf quality that can be done in homebrewing. Seeing what other classic gamers have done is inspiring. It's pushed me to go farther, try harder, and make everything I'm working on even better than I thought possible. This is exactly the sort of passion needed for classic gaming to thrive, and those who dedicate themselves to creating "new things for old toys" should be lauded for their endeavors. This might be a nice time to drop Eduardo a line, or any one of your favorite homebrewers, just to say thanks for all that they do.

I'll get us started... here's my score for tonight, 26,950!
