      Sweeping restructuring which means worse games (the Sonic Games on the Wiiu were for the most part underwhelming) and thus worse profits. They should give their millions to homebrew publishers who would be more than happy to make a 18 Million Dollar Profit.

  1. Sad that R.A. Montgomery passed on.. he created the "Choose Your Own Adventures" series of books. R.I.P.

  2. As part of my new job at Citizens Bank in their investment department processing new accounts I need a System 7 licence. Started studying for that today, and ugh....this is going to be a bitch.

      Don't sweat it....I have about everyone you can think of or did have at one time...investment banks provide you with the test....just use their resources and hopefully they will send you to a training on the test which basically walks you through it....so much easier to pass through a bank than on your own but it definitely is not easy :) Just wanted to ease your mind a bit...

  3. The AA Marketplace. Where people price gouge just like ebay, but feel all warm and fuzzy about it because it's member to member! :)

      Yes there are still some really solid members left and they seem to be the same people I buy / trade with...the days of the marketplace forums being for collectors more than not though I believe is over....it is more now a try here before ebay to avoid the fees....I don't even need steals of deals but so many people who just sign up and try to shill...its a rubes dream at times

      I'm not sure its even price gouging as much as its the resellers taking over...be happy because at least its not as bad as nintendoage.....I have lost out on 4-5 deals I sent the first PM for because the seller has written back that someone has offered him more than his ask and lots of situations over the past year when sellers say someone bought the whole lot....great for sellers but really shitty for collectors...oh well

      Sally just posted some stuff of theirs on Nintendoage...stated that she has a 400 mile medical trip for Ax this week so it seems like things are still up in the air

  8. Why is AtariAge so much better than NintendoAge?

    1. FikapPacMan

      FikapPacMan

      I feel its the personally here.....I love both forums but nintendoage feels a lot more punitive and thus less friendly at times...

      It's actually surprising to me that number doesn't seem too high.....or out of reach of many I know...I guess people just wouldn't want the info out to the masses...not sure if I would either :)

      So you play together via a small controller or is it all online? Basically how do you play couch co-op?

      This sounds weird but is it physically possible to just buy a gamepad tablet for a second player controller.....haven't been interested because the "lack" of two player....it may just be me but I can't seem to find them on amazon or any major retailers

  15. Epson are a bunch of fuckwits. Bought an ink multipack when I bought my XP-605 printer a few months ago. The sample inks have lasted longer than I thought. I've only had to change the black so far. But now it wants me to change the Photo Black ink. Okay, I thought, no biggie ... just reach into the multipack and ... hold on. Where's the fucking Photo Black? So my printing's ground to a halt because of Epson's stupidity. Thank's a LOT Epson.

      Had an Epson multi that when one of any of the 5 color carts ran out it would "brick" until you changed that color...wouldn't even print in black and white....never again

      In one of my work related finance reports for stock pricing I had heard as part of their reboot of their brand JCPenny was "thinking" of doing a catalogue of toys and gift items again....don't remember them being a major player in toys like Sears but we will see

  21. SOS....I have a Tandy Color Computer 2 and an older TV with an RF input (The twisty one)...I want to hook up the COCO but I don't have the RF cable....when I use a yellow cable through a modulator all I get is static over the screen (can make out the green start screen barely...help....anyone with a coco rf setup?

      Thanks everyone.....well I went to Radio Shack for that cable and they didn't have it in stock but I solved the issue with a little luck and creative thinking....I purchased an RF adaptor and plugged the male end into the coco....connected the coaxial cable to the female end and connected the other side to the rf on the TV ....works perfect.....just an FYI if anyone is having trouble....cost me all of 3.80 :)

  23. Thought I'd throw this out there....I have an Indy 500 Picture label cart that has a P on it...I don't see this in the atariage database of carts...maybe I didn't look hard enough :) Assuming its not rare but is it?

    1. FikapPacMan

      FikapPacMan

      Ok Thanks! Just didn't see that in my Atariage game list whereas others had a P listed on there....Thanks!
