  1. So I find Coleco's Mouse Trap. Take it home and start to clean it when I notice this sticker on the back..."Bouns cartridge included with Gemini purchase. non-refundable". Was this just stuck on my cart from something else, or did some special offer really exist? Anyway, though I'd pass this along to everyone. Cheers.
  2. Cool. Thank you all for your help. I was hoping there would be some games out there...I like the idea of using multiple controls. Another game that this keypad should have been made to be used with, is Activision's Space Shuttle. I'm all about steering this, pushing buttons, flippin' switches...oh well. Thanks again.
  3. Iv'e got Star Raiders which came with the KeyPad. I'd like to find more games that utilize this device. Any input?
  4. I'm a new guy around here too! Don't forget to check out the thrift stores. New stuff comes in all the time, might be lucky there
  5. I've developed a permanent "click" in my thumb. Sounds alot like when you crack your knuckles or stretch your back...I simply bend my thumb repeatedly and and I can produce a click-click-click sound. The pain has long since passed. I just have this stupid click sound to remind me that I've got years of gaming behind me.
  6. I'm new to collecting, although not new to the 2600...Since I started (about 3-4weeks ago) I've been on a rampage. I've been blessed by the thirfting gods. One day, a thift store trip revealed 28 carts w/intructions and no repeats. My collection has went from 15 games to just over 100 in about a 3 week time frame. Whew, what a rush!
  7. I feel compelled to drop a line after whats happened to me after the past month or so... A few weeks ago, guy I work with and I were talking about 80's and games etc. So, the Atari was mentioned. After about a 20 minute monologue spilling my love for the console (which at the time, I didn't have one...only as a kid back in the late 70's) he tells me he got one at home, been in the garage for years and it's taking space. Fast foreward to the next morning, and he walks in, hands me an Atari console, 2 original Joysticks, Paddles, 15 games, 1 being Omega Race complete with the "booster" grip controller. and all the wiring to hook it to the tv. "Here" he exclaims, "Seems like you'll enjoy it, keep it" WOW. not what I was expecting. No, nothing rare about the games, but who cares. I'm re-united with an old love affair! Thats about it, I found AtariAge doing a search on Atari stuff. I had no idea that the Atari community was still so prominent! I've found so much info here-like paddle cleaning- Ok, enough rambling, thank you Atari! Thank you AtariAge! And glad to see all you all here keeping the Atari legacy thriving! Man, this is great!
