Atari 5200 Guy

As soon as I can remember my password I will gladly copy and paste that on my Instagram account and my YT channel.  I can't remember my password to these forums.

I agree with this.  Atari was about family and friends spending time together, it wasn't always about the games.  Atari is how and why I learn how to be social.  Doesn't matter where you are from, we are all here for the same reason.  And we all need a break from life.  So sit down, visit with people on here, and enjoy a good game.  It doesn't even have to be an Atari game.  Whatever game you want to play...the idea is to enjoy yourself.  Come here and lower your stress level.  See?  Atari Pac-Man is good for something after all!

I agree with that 200%!

Sad to hear that.  Regardless of reasons why some people disliked him he was a unique entertainer and created some of the most annoying catch phrases of all-time.  He was easy to spot in film and sitcoms when he made cameo appearances.  I had a cousin who grew up watching his Playhouse show. 
It's sad to hear he battled cancer.  He was a master of his craft.  He did what no one else did and in some ways kept a bit of nostalgia from past actors in his character. I mean, A suit and tie.  That was something left in the past unless you was a game show host.  
R.I.P. Pee Wee.  You entertained us well.

Best of luck to you and here's for a speedy recovery!  
Your score in Asteroid? Im coming after it lol.  I figure if I aim high I will at least break 100,000.  Your score is not my goal, 100k is.  Beating your score would be a bonus.  But no worries, I can't even reach my last score I posted.

Yes they can be.  I love my 5200 but have left it behind in favor of other machines.  The 7800 was a true powerhouse before the 8-bit era ended.  

That's cool!

Looks good.  Hope it works for you.

Epic gave away I assume the first three Fallout games ever made in one sitting.  Just like Doom I'm looking forward to playing the original Fallouts.

I usually do that after Halloween.  And I listen to Christmas music throughout the year.

That was suppose to say without much damage.  Stupid tablet.

Very glad you guys are safe!  And I hope your Ataris managed to keep the fort down for you with much loss or damage.

Hey everyone, thanks for your concern! I'm doing great. I had to evacuate my home, which will be without power for the foreseeable future. Where I evacuated to also got hit pretty hard and we have been without power, cable, internet access and cell phone reception until recently. Everything is good here and I have plenty of supplies. We will continue on! Apologies for my lack of participation and delay in posting our Squad Challenge. I'm currently without my Ataris and any game system other than Lynx which I brought with me. I will check into the site as often as I can. Thanks again everyone for being awesome and please know everything is okay here. Best wishes to all!

Yay! A collective sigh of relief form us all for sure! Thanks for checking in Giana ! I feel better and am so glad you responded. Take care, no rush otherwise just glad you two are ok. 😎😌

Thank you for the update @Gianna!  I'm glad to hear that you and Justin are both safe.
💯 on everything Rick said. Hoping the best for you and all those who are impacted.

OH GOOD!  I'm glad you are both safe.  Hopefully your residences were undamaged.  Please be well and safe and don't worry about this place until you are ready.  And let us know if you or Justin need anything.
 

That's cool.  You need an entertainment room of some sort.  I like the shelves.

I'm going to pick Colecovision.  I miss the one I had and I should have never sold it.  But...I had to see what the 5200's competition had to offer.  I didn't really care for the controllers.  Mine seemed a bit mushy.
Thanks for the kind words.  I'm trying to find a way to have some kind of outlet.  My STe is out for the moment.  I had a hard time deciding what machine to setup for a while.  The less cords right now the better so the STe won.  

Love your setup.  And don't feel bad.  I spend most of my time in the living room.  My game room is more like going to a library.  I go in, grab what I want, play it in the living room for a bit, then return it.  It works best for my situation.  I don't spend too much time in that room like I would want to because I have a hard time hearing my wife if she would need me for something.  I've spent since January trying to get it like I want it.  I got the poster from my youngest nephew so I'm trying to make that a focal point.  My shelves on the left are from Wal-Mart but after I bought those two the store quit carrying them.  I've not found another like those and I seriously need more shelves.  Since my wife is now confined to a hospital bed in our living room I have had to find another area to try to setup a single system.  Not an easy thing to do.
