Welp. Dem switches were in the wrong spots. Didnt even notice. My previous score has been withdrawn. Here's an updated score. 711

Hmmm I'd have to check when I get home. What's position b on an Atari 7800? Left or right? That's what I played on this time.

Score withdrawn.

Went to Game Dude in North Hollywood the other day and picked up some inty, coleco, and Atari games. Paid $3 each. Pretty happy with these pickups! Game Room Tour video coming soon!

While I was never in to comics and super heroes and such, there's no denying that Stan Lee was a legend and is leaving behind an incredible legacy and his creations will live on forever. So sad.

Here's a couple tips I have. The first is obvious. Score as many Tetrises (4 lines in one drop) as you can. These are worth the most amount of points. These can obviously be done only with the "I" piece. Here's the scoring breakdown right from the manual. Second tip is knowing your pieces. What I mean by that, is to know what pieces fit in what crevices just by sight. Knowing that an L piece will fit in a spot that's 3 deep with an open spot to the left. Knowing this helps tremendously, especially at higher speeds 3rd tip. Know when to block the well when setting up for Tetrises. Even though in the example as shown in the picture, yes you're blocking off the well but since lines are completed those lines will go away setting you up for a Tetris. This also helps a lot to get rid of lines when playing at higher speeds. Here's another example In this example once the reverse L piece is dropped, a line will be completed. But the Well will remain closed. But with the next piece, you drop it as shown under next into the open gap, and the well will be open once again only being blocked for 2 piece drops.

Have any of you guys heard anything about Volume 3 coming out? It actually releases tomorrow! 1st I've heard anything about it! The game list is very interesting! Like the last 2 volumes, this also has 50 games. Adventure II (2600) Air Raiders (2600) Aquaventure (2600) Armor Ambush (2600) Asteroids (5200) Astroblast (2600) Atari Baseball (Arcade) Atari Basketball (Arcade) Atari Football (Arcade) Atari Soccer (Arcade) Avalanche (Arcade) Canyon Bomber (Arcade) Centipede (5200) Countermeasure (5200) Dark Cavern (2600) Destroyer (Arcade) Dominos (Arcade) Final Legacy (5200) Fire Truck/Smokey Joe (Arcade) Frog Pond (2600) Frogs and Flies (2600) Holey Moley (2600) International Soccer (2600) Maze Invaders (Arcade) Micro-gammon (5200) Millipede (5200) Miniature Golf (5200) Missile Command (5200) Monte Carlo (Arcade) MotoRodeo (2600) Pool Shark (Arcade) Realsports Baseball (5200) Realsports Basketball (5200) Realsports Football (5200) Realsports Tennis (5200) Realsports Volleyball (5200) Saboteur (2600) Sea Battle (2600) Sky Diver (Arcade) Space Attack (2600) Star Raiders (5200) Star Strike (2600) Super Breakout (5200) Super Bug (Arcade) Super Challenge Baseball (2600) Super Challenge Football (2600) Sword Fight (2600) Wizard (2600) Xari Arena (5200) Yars' Return (2600) I know some of these games were never released like asteroids, final legacy, microgammon, millipede, miniature golf, and XARI ARENA (!) Which I'm excited about. That game is pretty fun. There's some unreleased 2600 games as well! And also coming out for the switch is Atari Flashback Classics containing 150 games. I can't find a games list for that, but I'm hoping it's all 3 volumes in one package! I found out about it here... http://www.8-bitcentral.com/blog/2018/atariFBclassicsVol3.html

Went live with my buddy on Instagram and did this during the live stream. Improved my score a bit. 247738

Man, I should really do this next year. Sounds like fun! I already have a couple ideas too!

I love this game! Definitely in my top five favorite games of all time. 228917. I 2nd this. It's an amazing story. Here is is. https://youtu.be/_fQtxKmgJC8

So I was going through my collection the other day doing some reorganization and I came across my copy of Defender for the Atari 2600 and it realized I had the price sticker on it and the price sticker that says Pep Boys on it. I had no idea that they sold video games at pep boys!

Ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh. I'm so in!

Here's mine! 0215-2248-2719

I have a feeling no crash or Spyro games were included being that there are the remastered editions that are out or coming out.

From https://screenrant.com/playstation-classic-game-list/ PS1 game list announced. Battle Arena Toshinden Cool Boarders 2 Destruction Derby Final Fantasy VII Grand Theft Auto Intelligent Qube Jumping Flash! METAL GEAR SOLID Mr. Driller Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee Rayman Resident Evil Director's Cut Revelations: Persona R4 RIDGE RACER TYPE 4 Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo Syphon Filter Tekken 3 TOM CLANCY'S RAINBOW SIX Twisted Metal Wild Arms This is a hard pass for me. I wonder how many preorders are going to be cancelled.

Hey! I'm in this pic in between your heads!

I did! Heading back from Portland now!

Really nice meeting TrekMD! Awesome talking to ya for a bit! Awesome! ????????????

I'm wearing my Zelda hat and a Nintendo controller shirt across from The Limited Run games Booth. Come by and say hi!!

If you guys are here, come say hi! I'm across from the limited run games booth! I'll be here all weekend!

I didn't realize these were made by ATGames. That's pretty much a deal breaker for me. Guess I'll just stick to my modded NES classic for playing Atari games in HD. They were $18.88 at Walmart. Thought it was weird some units had more games as others.

I thought this joust pinball game was pretty awesome. Unfortunately I had nobody to play it with.

Setting up!

Atari Flashback Blast! Basically a HDMI dongle that has the games with a wireless controller. Seems cool. But some seem better than others. Having different amounts of games seem kind of weird on each and they are the same price. Anyone else seen these yet?
