nosweargamer 5,997 Report post Posted January 11, 2016 With Ricks permission, I used my "Junk Box Founding Fathers Pass" and sent Willie an invite. Willie is a GREAT guy and always has the coolest stuff for junk boxes. He and I have been part of a couple junk boxes outside of the forum as well and will vouch for him any day! 4 The Professor, Rowsdower70, StormSurge and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rowsdower70 4,513 Report post Posted January 13, 2016 Question, does it involve only atari or any retro games/accesories? Anything retro gaming or gaming culture related. Even some other stuff like retro music, toys, movies, etc are fine...just keep the majority gaming related! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AtariBrian 764 Report post Posted January 16, 2016 Heck yes I am in, I really have been slacking on my late night scouring of the atari.io forums. Working on the house all the time, trying to get my game room set up. Lots of work to try to fit all my crap into a tiny room. 5 RickR, Rowsdower70, nosweargamer and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StormSurge 1,941 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 Ha! I may have to sit this one out. It was easy for me to ship stuff before switching jobs. I'm too afraid I wouldn't be able to ship the box timely. Plus, I'm intimidated by the rest of the participants. My junk box skills pale in comparison to everyone else's!

kamakazi20012 2,284 Report post Posted January 20, 2016 I would like to participate but I don't think I'm in any position to do so. I have the same fear that StormSurge has...I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to ship in a timely manner and I really don't have anything I could put in the box. Count me out for now...maybe I can participate before the end of 2016. Sounds like fun though and I'd like to see what everyone ends up with to get an idea.
