    I don't have this one.  I have a bunch of 2600 games...but I don't have this one.

    Atari 5200 Guy got a reaction from Justin in Must have Atari Lynx games?   
    My Lynx II appears to be void of lines but does seem a bit faded. Then again I always thought they did. I have Batman Returns. Fun game but very tough. It looks like a Genesis game.
     
    Just so I know what is bad about Hard Drivin'? I loved the arcade.

    Atari 5200 Guy got a reaction from DegasElite in Do you have any pets?   
    Under normal circumstances, my wife and I usually do our grocery shopping once a month at Wal-Mart.  We used to go when 3rd shift starts or a little before.  Christmas gets to go with us and has to make her rounds to see the crew she loves the most.  We can't do our shopping until then.  She doesn't like men other than me generally but has a male store manager she absolutely loves.  Another employee when he sees her always goes to the deli, gets a chicken strip, and gives it to her.  Even the store manager loves her and has said she is welcome there any time.
    Give a hug to all the furry children for me!  And Hi, Sally.

    Christmas is the furry child I have now.  She is my wife's service animal when we are out and about but pretty much my child when we are home.  Nothing like Daisy but very unique in her own ways.  Never shy...always wants the first to greet and get attention.  She makes her presence known.  

    This is the first day we got her and ...

    … 9 years later.  She sleeps with me in "my" bed.  Yes...that's the same dog.  LOL.  Love her dearly. The only thing she doesn't like is storms.

    Ah!  Here she is.  My long haired Jack.  Name was Daisy.  Very smart dog.

    Loved her a lot.  Only dog I didn't need a leash for.  She'd stay right by my side.  If she DID stray too far all I had to say was her name and she'd come right back.  I have more photos of her.  She loved car rides. She also had a bug fetish (eww).

    I had a long haired Jack that was my companion after my ex and I parted ways.  I have pics of her.  I no longer have her, though.  I was going through rough times so I gave her up.  Hardest thing I had to do.
    Well...I'm on my tablet...give me a min to check my computer.  I know I have pics of her and Christmas somewhere.

    Alright, here is the latest update.  Up until now the game has only used TIA for sounds (and those have been impressive); however, thanks to efforts by Perry we now have POKEY sounds added to the game.  You have to watch and listen...

    I know that anything coming from Lance will be top-notch. I have been dealing with him since 1998 without any issues. I do wonder how these controllers slipped by me? I can say that the Grip Stick is a much needed accessory for the ProSystem.

    V61 I think has replacement knobs.  You might just replace them with new ones...especially if the paddles themselves are still working.

    "Where did YOU learn to fly?"  Her mama taught me 😄 Hey...the person selling it is called "HappiestSellEver".  Well, if I sold all of them at $1,600 each I'd be happy, too.

    Well...this looks nice, too.  But I'd have to change the wheels.  I was something more muscle looking...not import tuner like.

    Not mine but similar color.  Same body style less the ground effects.  Mine is also not lowered.  I'd like to know where they found the weatherstripping and other black accents?  I'd have to keep the Chrysler emblem on the front, though.  I'd have to use these wheels on mine if I can find them in 14"

    Atari 5200 Guy got a reaction from greenween in Did you think Atari 2600 Pac-Man was bad when you first got it?   
    I never got it only because I owned a 5200.  But I do remember a neighbor down the road getting it and inviting me over to play it.  I already had Pac-Man for my system so I didn't expect anything different.  Once I arrived in went pac-man and on went my dissecting.  Nothing was right, I dogged it, but at the same time I found joy in playing it.  It was a different pacman. Once I got home, though, I was never so happy to seev my pacman again.

    Well...it's a start.  This game I'm not good at lol.  Now...on the 5200 version I could play it all day long with decent results.  The 2600 plays a mean Breakout game.

    At times it seems like those last bricks move at the last second so the ball misses.

    Awesome!  Yea, you really have to kind of be in a trance when watching where the ball is going.  Thanks for the compliments.  This is a fun game.

    I'm not afraid to kick a tire, ask for a test drive, look under the hood, check the oil.  I use every angle I can.  
    "How much?"
    "$1,000."
    "Hmm.  I can't go that high.  I need enough left to pay for insurance, tags, and inspection.  Plus the transfer of ownership fee.  And I'm sure no one has changed the plugs, plug wires, oil, oil filter, and I don't know how good these tires are.  I can do $500". Then go from there.
    I found a replacement cluster on eBay for $25.
