  1. I never understood completionist collecting for consoles. It means that most of the games you have suck. But hey you have them all!

      I don't collect for me, I collect for posterity.

      What Bryan said.

       

      I'll settle for emulation and maybe the best of the best on metal.

  2. My jaguar collection is starting to look like my n64 collection. nice and solid with everything I want and nothing that I don't. love that feeling.

      Completing a Jaguar collection was/is one of the most satisfying things I've ever done. Enjoy!

  3. epic 4 person gaming night! mk8, gauntlet, mp9, djhero 2 etc. love gaming w friends!!

  4. Tried to update my Project 64 emulator from 1.6 to 2.1 today and all I got was a festering bundle of malware. And the emulator wasn't even included or available! screw that noise.

  5. As of 4pm today I am the proud owner of a Sunnyvale heavy sixer. Paid $20/bucks for it with 15 games and two sticks. just had to order a power cable. The original OEM gray model of course :)

      Very cool! I'd like to eventually get a CIB heavy sixer. One of these years..

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

      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

      Now I'm not saying it's everyone, but I'd say most sellers aren't doing anyone any favors price wise on here for being part of the community. I am having much better luck on craigslist and at local and online play n' trades when it comes to finding deals, steals, or just reasonable prices.

    4. FikapPacMan

      FikapPacMan

      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

      How come there was never a 7800 version of Narc?

    3. bomberpunk

      bomberpunk

      because the 7800 programmers support drug use.

      I dunno, they worked out pretty well for that bicycle guy.

  9. I knew the Atari 5200 was cool. It had 69 official releases. 69! GET IT!?!?!?

  10. I have an opportunity to get a Bally Astrocade on the cheap. Anyone have anything good to say about that system?

      It's a very moody and atmospheric system. Especially when you get a noisy CRT that has background static in the audio and.

    3. Reaperman

      Reaperman

      Nope, not a thing. Unless it still works--but we don't have to worry about that because that's almost certainly not the case.

      I have one and really like it.

      Jaguar? Drama? Say it isn't so! :-o

      Really?

  14. Why does Club Nintendo suck so bad? I have thousands of points and there is literally nothing I ever want on there. Instead of nintendogs greeting cards, how about a Gold Wii U Pro Controller?

      You can get a variety of the hanafuda cards at the Nintendo world flagship store in NYC. If you are ever in that neck of the woods :)

      Yeah they are very weak. It feels like an online bodega.

      I managed to get one G&W Ball remake and have been waiting for another.. but yeah the prizes have steadily dwindled to the point it's ridiculous.

  16. 6 and 1/2 hours of Jaguar last night, wrapped up with some late night silent Doom. It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache..

  17. No girlfriend, no roomate, and no dog tonight. 8 hours of Jaguar, here I come!!

      Okay maybe 4-6 realistically. Still, a solid dose of "me" time with my consoles.

      They found the baby ? that's great !!!

      The Rick

      They found it a long while back now. But never the co conspirators!

  19. So Mean 18 for the 7800 went for $255 last night on ebay. That HAS to be the most anyone's ever paid for a sports title. Ever.

      True enough. World class track meet? Limited run though..

    3. Atari_Bill

      Atari_Bill

      $255 is a bargain apparently! School Girl has one posted now on ebay for the low price of $400. Get it while you can!

    4. Atari_Bill

      Atari_Bill

      Oh and for $400, it's not sealed either. Just CIB.

  20. Does the Harmony Cart work on the 7800, with 2600 and 7800 roms?

      Cool thanks. Much appreciated

    3. The Rick

      Now the question is will it play 2600 games on the 2600?

    4. yarjr

      yarjr

      Of course

  21. Holy shit Mean 18 just went for $255 on epay. Bid up to 150 but had to let it go. That was fun, got my heart pounding at least.. Repro anyone? Just want to play a good 7800 golf game that doesn't involve ninjas.

      Nice! Could they do mean 18 if they have the ROM?

    3. yarjr

      yarjr

      Yes,they'll do anything but you have to send them the files. Look at the atariage store.

    4. The Rick

      What I probably should do is get a Harmony cart. Those work on the 7800 right?

      I have really, really been enjoying the 7800 library lately (though I realize it's limited compared to the 2600.) You factor in backwards compatibility with games/accessories and if I had to own just one, I think I'd be hard pressed not to go with the 7800

    3. MAC-42

      MAC-42

      I had both when I was young. (Lost my 2600 in a flood.) When the time came to get a new Atari last year, it had to be a 7800. I only had a handful of 7800 games as a kid, but I enjoyed them too much. I really think it's the way to go, too.

    4. SabertoothRetro

      SabertoothRetro

      I agree. You get the best of both worlds on the 7800. Both have terrific home brew games but only the 7800 will play them all.

  23. No ebay! Thats a bad ebay! I said "tank command" not "robot tank"!!

    1. jaybird3rd

      I know the feeling. I search for the Mattel Aquarius, and I get astrological Barbie dolls.

    2. Trebor

      Trebor

      Try searching for a "Cuttle Cart", eBay decides it's a "Cattle Cart" you really want...lol.

  24. I spent $300 on some Jaguar game(s) recently. How many game(s) would you think I got for that kind of dough? :)

      15 loose carts of Bruce Lee maybe..

    3. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      I'm guessing three or four. Even the "common" titles are going for at least $40 CIB these days.

    4. The Rick

      The Rick

      Okay enough suspense. 3 games. Two jag CD, one cart, all new and fairly rare(ish)

  25. Purchased a 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid today. Starting to love the smell of my own farts already...

    1. Gredler

      Gredler

      A couple weeks ago I purchased a 2013 Ford Taurus Limited, congratulations Ford brother!! Does yours have Applink or Nav?

    2. The Rick

      The Rick

      I'm not sure yet, I think both? I just picked it up on my way to work so haven't even had time to play around with it yet. Extra screens/interfaces as well because of the Hybrid aspect. The Taurus is a really nice ride, congrats yourself.

    3. atarian63

      atarian63

      Is that the "hybrid" part?
