[Cleveland Ohio CCAG 2012 is Saturday June 23,2012]

I saw one pic where I was way in the background and kind of blurry. Lol

[35% of Gamers Prefer Buying Games Online]

I prefer physical games, even if they do take up a lot of space in my tiny apartment.

[Ebay sellers who just cannot figure out what LIKE NEW means]

"Like New" = "I want to charge an arm and a leg for my garbage" :/

[AtariAge XBox Live Gamertag List]

NightDriver2600 I have a free account right now. Don't know when/if I'm going to upgrade.

[PSN IDs]

Same as my username here, NightDriver2600

[Cleveland Ohio CCAG 2012 is Saturday June 23,2012]

I'll probably check it out. I went a couple years ago, but then forgot about it.

[Do you play games on Facebook?]

No. I have plenty of actual games that I never have time to play. I block the updates from those stupid games on my wall.

[Cartridge Label Conditions]

As long as the game works, I don't care too much about the label. I "collect" games so that I can play them. Most of my Atari games are still in the original boxes anyway, so most of the labels are in decent shape.

[Teaching my daughter how to play starting with Pacman]

I don't have kids, but I remember Pac Man on the 2600 being one of the first video games I ever played.

[CCAG 2010 Saturday May 8, 2010]

I'll probably be there, providing I can get out of work that day.

[Gamepad, Joystick, or Mouse & Keyboard?]

Usually the keyboard for DOS games and a gamepad for console games, though I rarely use console emulators unless I'm not home and only have my laptop or if it's a super rare game that I can't find anywhere. I don't really play modern PC games at all.

[Noob Question - What do you do with your carts?]

I have one of those Atari carts (basically a cabinet with wheels) that has a place for the system on the top with a plastic cover to keep the dust off and a cabinet for the games underneath.

[How do you store your systems?]

I have three systems (Genesis, N64, Retro Duo) in one of those plastic 7 drawer carts from Walmart with three big drawers at the bottom and four smaller ones on top. Each system gets it's own big drawer. There is also a smaller drawer each for N64, SNES, and Genesis games+accessories (NES are in with the Retro Duo system) and another one for portable systems (except my DS, which stays in my purse. The games for that have their own spot on the shelf on the headboard of my bed). I'm eventually going to find somewhere better for portables and move NES games to that drawer.

 

I have a separate storage case for the 2600 and it's games and controllers since I have an official Atari case. The GameCube is just sitting on the shelf next to my printer under the TV since I wasn't too worried about dust getting into that. The games for that are stored on a DVD tower. The drawer cart sits on one side of the TV and the Atari is on the other. Everything is plugged into power strips behind the TV.

 

There are also more controllers, cables, and random accessories in various storage units in my hallway.

 

I don't think I have room for any more systems until I move. I don't even have that much stuff, and I still barely have enough space for it.

[Anybody else notice this in Back to the Future?]

I never noticed that before. I'll have to watch more closely next time Back to the Future is on TV.

[Are you in love?]

No, not with her at least. I don't like females, because I'm NOT gay.

[Merchandise]

Why? If people believe in that stuff enough to spend money on a spell, it will most likely work via wishful thinking and self-fulfilling prophecies. I was looking at the feedback, and I'm just surprised that people leave feedback before they even got "results" from the spells.

 

Not sure how she expects to get positive feedback from the "Win the Lottery" one though... If that one worked, you'd think she wouldn't need to be posting eBay auctions to make a living...

 

What does this have to do with Atari or video games though?

[Which consolde did you receive as an Xmas gift]

SNES (I think, though it may have been a birthday gift. I can't remember for sure.)

N64

GBC

GBA

 

And I should be getting a Retro Duo this year.

[Christmas stuff giveaway 2009]

I just got my Sega Genesis in the mail as well.

 

Thank you so much Richard!

[Anyone want one of these for christmas.....]

Seems kinda big for a "portable," but it would still be cool if you just wanted to play in different rooms of your house or outside or something.

[Do people ever say weird things when wearing Atari clothing in public?]

I have a shirt with an Atari joystick and the words "old skool" on it, but I don't recall anyone ever commenting on it.

I do get comments and strange looks from my C:\DOS\RUN shirt though.

[Portable Atari 2600]

You could probably find instructions to build one yourself online somewhere, or have someone else custom build one for you if you have the cash.

[First time 2600 Owner]

Isn't the 2600 great? It will steal your soul if you let it...

I can't even remember the first time I played it, even though it was only in the '90s (but given that I was only born in '89, I guess that makes sense, since I don't have a time machine.)

 

Did you get a six or four switch model?

[undiscovered games]

Probably hundreds, especially if you count homebrews that no one but the programmers ever saw.

[Christmas stuff giveaway 2009]

I got an email saying that my package has been mailed and it should arrive around Wednesday.
