GRay Defender 227 Report post Posted March 8, 2017 Hi, GRay Defender here. I was born and raised here in San Bernardino, CA. I played the early games in the arcade growing up and my first real gaming console was the Atari 2600. From there I moved on to the Commodore 64, but before I let my mom sell off my 2600, I held onto the three games carts that I treasured the most at the time. They were Adventure, Missile Command and Mountain King. I fairly recently got back into video games and collecting. Other than video games & consoles, I also love classic radios with cassette tape players,etc. I also collect some vintage calculators, something about that phosphorus. I guess last year I started my small youtube channel which goes by my moniker. Looking forward to meeting you all over time, Glenn 10 LeeJ07, TrekMD, Rowsdower70 and 7 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ballblaɀer 1,300 Report post Posted March 8, 2017 Welcome, Glenn! Three classics you kept, certainly -- and don't let anyone tell you otherwise re: Mountain King! Have any of the Atari-branded calculators? Enjoy your stay; hope to see you around the forums and in chat! 3 Justin, greenween and Lost Dragon reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GRay Defender 227 Report post Posted March 8, 2017 Thank you guys. I do not have an atari branded calculator. I didn't know that was a thing (eyes peeled). However I do have a few Commodore branded ones and they are sweet. And I picked up this calculator last year: (it takes 4 D cell batteries and had a carrying handle). https://1drv.ms/v/s!AqMAc7hYHgL3zzL-pn2lsCTYTFR6 As for Mountain King I had discovered the secret area above the "mountain" and was captivated by it. I don't remember if I ever completed it back then though..., lol... 2 Justin and Lost Dragon reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GRay Defender 227 Report post Posted March 8, 2017 Thank you NSG, Yeah the Super Twin 78 is a great controller, I probably would have bought it anyway, and I endorse and recommend the Edladdin products. By the way Ed Kelly from Edladdin, told me via email he is coming out with a USB joystick, sorry for being short on the details, but it is coming soon. I will definitely consider posting in the youtube section...
