Thanks, NSG!

That's also the school from Ferris Bueller's Day Off 

Nice setup!  So the new TV is 20" or so?  Those aren't bad weight-wise.  I thought it was a 32".

We used to have a 32" CRT TV upstairs, and it took me, my wife, and my son to get it down the stairs and into the car (to haul it to Salvation Army!)  My next door neighbor, who is quite burly, took pity and grabbed it from us and carried it the last 10 feet or so.  I call him Hercules now.  Then, when we got to SA, the worker there went to the back of the car.  Before I could finish saying "Be careful, it's really heavy"...the dude was casually lifting and carrying it into the building.  Is there a moral to this long-winded story?  Yes -- I have noodle arms. 

here's my Easter Egg............. 

E.T. (Some really neat ones here)

Package from nosweargamer is in!  Speaking of fun with numbers... getting a copy of Secret Quest means one more SARA Superchip game crossed off my list:
 

 
Cartridges with the Superchip weigh a fraction of an ounce more than most Atari cartridges -- for example:
 

 
And since we're weighing things, why not:


 
Thanks again!

Yes, and I think we may have more to talk about regarding the Atari Video System X sometime soon  
 
The Video System X to me is much more than what the 5200 ended up being, it's the embodiment of that hope and that idea we dreamed of when reading about "the next new Atari" in magazines like Electronic Games. Atari had so much promise at that time. It was inconceivable that the next Atari system would be anything other than out of this world.

Just watching the Video System X video here:

So Justin, do you actually have that prototype?  How absolutely cool!  I remember reading about the "Video System X" right after the show in Electronic Games magazine.  Exciting times!

Wow outstanding

Swordquest is all about the contest, the games are just a tool to enter the contest. Two of them are okay games, but all of them are kind of pointless if you're not entering the contest.

I really want to like Swordquest but I find it hard to follow, even with the comic books. It's a cool idea that was probably too big for the 2600 to do very well.

I still have hope that they are still sitting in someone man cave/ game room

Interesting research on what happened to the prizes that were and weren't awarded. Looks like only the chalice remains.
