Atari 5200 Guy

One of the biggest lies any Youtuber will tell, is this opening line or intro announcement : 
"I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE THIS VIDEO".........
Seriously, knock it off 🤨🙄😛

‼️ I love browsing the forums on my lunch break 🙂

🤔 How do you say it?: S’ness or S.N.E.S. I’ve always said “Super NES”

🌓 I love that the moon is green in Moon Patrol

This "might" be a thing I try to do.  Still working out the video capture bugs....and the whole talking while playing thing.  Does anyone else hate the sound of their voice and/or the way their face looks while they talk?  I may just do voice overs! LOL!!!

Another pickup.  It's NES Arkanoid with the paddle controller!  The controller makes the game so much better -- like the arcade version really. It's a ton of fun. The cart was missing most of the label, so I printed one and grafted it in place. 

COBRA!!!! 

I was reading the about me section of a profile and thought “wow they are similar to me,” and then immediately realized it was my own profile 😅😳

The Evercade Premium Pack came with 36 games included on 3 carts. All I can do is play Boogerman! 

😲 Can you believe it is nearly July?! It feels like it was just March 2 weeks ago. Has time been going by fast for everyone as well? 

What happens if you enter the year "2020" on the DeLorean time machine...

🏆 BIG THANKS to @RickR who generously donated a pile of unused Combat cartridges to the site for use on future projects.

That special dilemma of buying old stuff that's never been opened.  Should I open them up and display the ships on my shelf?  Or leave them in the box where they can't be examined and enjoyed up close?

Even through a national pandemic, Atari survives. Bringing the fun and joy of new memories into homes across our great land for almost 50 years. Yars’ Revenge is one of my favorite games on the current Flashback consoles we found today at Sam’s Club. Who remembers The Walking Dead episode with Eugene playing Yars’ Revenge after the zombie apocalypse telling of the Yars’ attempt to exact revenge on the evil Qotile for the destruction of Razak IV?

RE: N64 😎 I am a huge Resident Evil games fan so of course even though my first experience of it was on Playstation I simply HAD to own a original N64 cart as shown. It's just loose cart and I have not played it in years (Hope it still saves?) but it is one of only a handful of original N64 carts I still own as I use my Everdrive mostly. Still, look forward to trying it out again soon, what they achieved on a N64 cart was impressive. 😍

👽 There’s a lot of hate for E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, and yet so many of us have wonderful memories of growing up playing this game. Nothing has left its mark on the legacy of Atari quite like E.T. It may not be the top 2600 game, but it has a lot of heart. 

😎 Too big?

🚘 What’s your favorite thing to bring with you on a summer road trip? Atari Lynx has a small game library, but many of the games are really good! Once things return to normal this will be my 31st summer bringing the Lynx on my summer road trip. I do more driving than riding in the back seat these days, but summer wouldn’t feel complete without rainy afternoons playing California Games, RoadBlasters, Ninja Gaiden or Blue Lightning.

📖 Who loves comic books? Collecting is about enjoying every part of the game - the gameplay, the artwork, flipping through the instruction manual and diving into the story and the world of the game. Atari was my introduction to comics, some of my favorite Atari games come with DC Comics ashcans inside.

🏓 Quarantined on a cozy Saturday night playing Breakout with my girl. This is the stuff good memories are made of.

🐇 Wishing all of you and your families a very happy Easter!
