I made this point in some thread earlier before. Scrambles to find notes... ahhh too lazy... Anyways I made a comment as to the popularity of mini-games and how it pertains to the simplicity of 2600 titles. I also think one of the reasons is the "pick up and go" factor. It usually takes me 15-20 minutes to really get back into "the groove", or back on track in alot of modern games. With 2600 games I can just "pick up and go" and get my 20 minute arcade fix. No fuss no muss. The reason for the lead time? It takes a while to remember which button combo's go with which moves. Especially if you have not played the game in a while. It almost just as hard trying to remember what goals you accomplished and which ones you were working on when you saved it.

some of my favs.. 13 Build a mobile for your newborn. 77 Mail to Howard Scott Warshaw 79 Collect them all! 90 Build a birdhouse 98 Use as pet tombstones. My own contribution Make into a PC mouse.

Are you kidding? I actually wrote a program for my 8-bit that tracked high scores! It even took into consideration skill level, etc. Only to find out years later that someone stole the code, stripped it down and sold it to compute! magazine.

ok... I took a look at the connectors for some of the hand helds I have. Nomad, gamegear - no go... to big Gameboy, Neogeo pocket - no go... to small I have this neat thing I bought from radio shack which oughta do the trick, but unfortunately the connector I got was a little to big, so I need to take that back. Best bet is to buy that big fat power box that holds D size batteries as a back-up. Has anyone considered offering to order the supply for him and sending it to him?

It's the small pouch one with two pockets for games. Ok... here are the pics... Ignore the intellivision stuff, it's stuff for sale in my "other" thread.

Hmmm looks like someone BIN'ed em already... I wonder if he got your msg.

The S controller, or whatever it is called is alot smaller than the original xbox controller!! And after all.... size does matter... Just look at the 5200... hehe

I wonder what my chances would be of finding those at our local place who sells them at a buck a piece... Of course if I found Jr. Pac-Man I'd probably keep that for myself.

Alright... I usually do not do this, but I'm feeling really lazy right now anyways. I was figuring between $10-$15 for the lynx + carrying case. Maybe $2 or $3 bucks for the stuff I said is common + Bill & Ted and Klax (it's cheap here at the atariage store). The other games range from $10-$30 from other online stores (do your homework), but don't be afraid to offer less. I'm not looking to make more, or even break even. Just to get a reasonable amount for it. Just make an offer... Keep in mind I'm not asking much for the system, carrying case, or the commons. They go real cheap on ebay anyways. Send a PM... I have not updated the list, but I do have an offer already on Awesome Golf, and Baseball Heroes. Though I have not heard anything on baseball heroes. I'm talking to somebody regarding the lynx system as well, but the trade we would work out is pending another trade he may have going. So go ahead an PM me anyways. If it looks good I'll just find out what is going on with the other deal. Don't feel any pressure to outbid anybody, just make what you think is reasonable (good for you). Like I said, I'm not out to start a bid war. Unless someone is crazy enough to actually ask alot for it. I don't even mind if the offer is less than what I see them going for, cause I got this in a lot and my money was well spent towards the games I acquired. Just trying to pass on some atari goodness.

Double boink! Come on guys! This is your chance to get lynx stuff cheap!!

Pictures added of everything that is left. I forgot the 2600 and NES carts. But otherwise I think I got it all, let me know if I missed something. The cart with the handwritten label is Frogger.

I hope you noticed this thread was over a year old before you posted a response.

I have a ms. pac-man loose w/manual for ya if you want...

wow... expensive... guy even has intellivision diner, boxed. Outta my price range for now.

Lol, I'm keeping it mainstream American releases, so no crazy consoles like the SG-1000, Mark III or anything I'm still wondering if I should get a Pico Right now I'll be happy with a SMS, Genny, 32X, SegaCD, Saturn, Dreamcast, and GameGear. Aww come one... they are so cheap you gotta have at least one of each model. model 1, 2, 3, and CDX. model 3 and CDX are worth it for coolness alone.

Yeah sony's handheld looks sweet. I made a promise to myself not to pass up on handhelds as they come out, cause you never know how hard they will be to find in the future.

It makes for a great collector item. I got one with the lynx lot I won and I do not plan on giving it up.

Yeah I tried them and I prefer the default. Personally I think it'd be great to have the B button to lock the direction and A button to fire. But that's just a preference.

List updated

relisted.... Never trust a six year old with ebay items... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3037289899[/url]

I had one guy I bought NES boxed games with supposedly instructions, turns out the "instructions" were advertisements, etc. I told him he might wanna look a little more carefully in the future. Luckily I didn't pay much for them and the boxes were in very good shape.

The topic says it all.... Figured I'd mention it in here for those that do not frequent the marketplace very often.

Was playing my newly acquired robotron cart today and my poor little brain cells were having a fit... But once I got used to the strange choice in shooting controls I at least can get to the same levels I normally do. Although the game kinda feels like it's playing in slow motion. Pretty cool.

I know the feeling... when the GBA SP came out it renewed my interest in it. The screen for the regular GBA is just too dark. But I still plan on collecting for my lynx.

Wait till you get it and look at the writing on the back, it will tell you everything you need, including the polarity of the tip. I use one of those multi-adapters for mine, no problem.
