    Coming to you live from near the eclipse centerline in Tennessee! Weather is good and we are ready to rock.

      Clouds here. And my location in MidMO means we don't get to see 100% anyway. :(

      We had a beautiful view here in Oregon.

    Anyone happen to have laying around a spare 5-pin DIN/composite cable (for XL/XE)? Just added the first A8 to my collection!

      Thanks! Wonder how long my WR will hold up, now. I think 1 more second could be shaved off...

      You have not -- turns out I'm making a video instead! Will get it online when I have a chance.

    Today's hunting grounds in east PA: Kulpsville, Quakertown, Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Doylestown, Glenside. Best pickup so far: Sears Heavy Sixer w/original gray adapter!

      Also, attn NSG: Track & Field controller acquired from a game shop, totally unexpected. :)

    2. Rowsdower70

      Nice find on that Sears Heavy!

    Just home from meeting up with legends Willie! and fergojisan at Crabtowne USA for dinner and arcade excitement! Gentlemen and scholars, both of them.

    1. Rowsdower70

      Rowsdower70

      Jealous! Sounds like a great time.

    2. fergojisan

      fergojisan

      Thank you! It was great meeting you too, sorry I was distracted by Baby Pac-Man when you guys were leaving. :(

      nosweargamer

      Awesome!

  10. Ballblaɀer

    I stink at hardware fixes, but somehow managed to revive my CX22 trak-ball last night. Will attempt the CX80 tonight!

    1. Rowsdower70

      Rowsdower70

      Sounds like you've got them by the trak-balls.

    2. RickR

      RickR

      Do you have a harmony cart? Because the trak-ball modded games (like missile command, centipede, etc) are awesome

       

    3. Ballblaɀer

      Ballblaɀer

      I do not yet have a Harmony Cart. Hopefully Santa Claus brings one soon!

  11. Ballblaɀer

    Had I known the 20lb lot of Atari carts was going to include 1lb of cigarette residue...

    1. RickR

      RickR

      "Fire Fighter" might be in the bunch.

      Buy stock in paper towels, Q-tips, and rubbing alcohol.

      ugg. I really dislike it when sellers fail to mention that they're smoker.

  12. Ballblaɀer

    This. This is what's on my mind. http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h233080880

      I hope you get it!

    2. Ballblaɀer

      Ballblaɀer

      I may or may not go after it. There's a lot of extras there that I'd rather not pay to ship (and then need to find new homes for once I get 'em!) -- so, we'll see.

    3. RickR

      RickR

      Nice stuff.

  13. Ballblaɀer

    My 2600 trade list is about to grow exponentially. Get those want lists ready...

    1. Rowsdower70

      Rowsdower70

      Awesome! I need some new fantasy titles ;)

    2. Ballblaɀer

      Ballblaɀer

      Ah yes, the countless fantasy titles on the 2600. What titles seeketh ye?

  14. Ballblaɀer

    Best VCS finds of the weekend: finding Subterranea and Solar Storm for $3 each!

    1. Rowsdower70

      Rowsdower70

      Nice! You were hunting on fertile ground this weekend.

       

    2. Sabertooth

      Sabertooth

      Wow! Excellent finds. I still don't have a physical copy of Subterranea. Are they CIB?

    3. Ballblaɀer

      Ballblaɀer

      They're not CIB, no. I rarely buy boxed games -- but I certainly would have in this case!
