I royally enjoyed the Expo and loved the table that AtariAge had setup. My daughter had a lot of fun with Oregon Trail on the Apple II. :-)

So I should simply be able to move it back into place by opening up the console?

Hi all, I just obtained an Intellivision a few months ago. The other day, I noticed the reset button was extending out of the console more so than usual to the point where its spring was visible. I'm not sure what caused this, but is there any way that I can fix this? I've included some pictures to help illustrate this. Other then it looking like this, it has worked fine for the most part, except once where it seemed that the reset button was stuck and wouldn't allow the system to function properly. I did get it unstuck just by pressing on it a few times, but it is still extending out more than what I remember. Thanks! :-)

I personally do, but I can also see where someone is coming from if they don’t. I actually asked this same question to several of my close friends a few months ago when I had a “classic” gaming night at my place; I was a little conflicted as to whether I should have included 5th generation systems in it or not. Several people gave good reasons why they aren’t (the advent of disc media and 3D graphics being the primary ones cited), but ultimately I ended up seeing them as classic for a few reasons. We’re now in 7th generation, two generations removed from 5th. People fondly reminiscence about these systems (especially the PS1/N64) just like how people do for the earlier generations. The games and systems also seem primitive (tech-wise anyway; I still think 5th generation had a ton of games that outshine anything recently released) to most consumers, who probably couldn’t sit down and play many of these games based solely on the dated graphics. I also think it is easier to designate the earlier systems of 5th generation as “classic” (3DO, Jaguar, and Saturn) whereas it is somewhat problematic for people to do that with the PS1 and N64. I don’t know why but I wonder if that’s because both Nintendo and Sony are still in the hardware business and/or because of the popularity these systems enjoyed during their heyday? For some reason it’s easier to label a game like Gex “classic” whereas its hard to do that for something like Resident Evil, even though both came out of the 5th generation. But I can also see the other side of the coin, so I really think it boils down to a matter of preference at this point. Just my two cents. :-)

Hi all, I'm looking to purchase a boxed copy of Crypts of Chaos for the 2600. Send me a private message if you have a copy that you're willing to part with. Thanks! :-)

Hi all, I have a question about connecting a Coleco Telstar (the original model) to a modern TV. I recently purchased one off ebay and am trying to get it to work. When I plug in the power, I am able to hear the audio. But I’m not able to get visuals. I have the system connected via a coaxial adapter that I just screw into the back of the TV. Is there something else I need to do? I think I recall reading somewhere that the original Telstar has a trick to it, but cannot seem to find the website where I remember reading that. I’m just trying to figure out if I have a working unit or not. :-)
