Allow me to cast another vote for Windex instead of alcohol, its just what I've always done. Windex works wonders on the carts and labels themselves, too, and the system itself (as in the plastic)

I always thought it was like golf, lowest score wins? By which logic the 5200 is better than the 7800. That settles it.

Uhh... wow. I like the 7800, because I don't have a 5200. My 7800 can act as a 2600, but it's not a 2600... anyone care to debate? EDIT: does jbanes remind anyone of George Bush? "We do not torture, we merely emulate torture."

...what about Liberator? That's pretty fun but I guess Atari would be a little pissed. You could always call it Liberation

He treats us well, he just treats customers like shit. I'm applying at the Apple Store here in Memphis (Apple beats PC anyway ) and a few Starbucks, and a couple independent bookstores... It just sucks, it's really stressful and I don't need it during the school year.

Really? I know three or four people with the grey OoT, and only one other who has the gold cart. I got it the day it came out, in sixth grade (yeah, whatever, I know I'm a whippersnapper.)

Uhh... bump?

Is it the same way for the Adventure of Link (aka Zelda 2)? Because I have a grey one I did have to pay a bit of a premium for my gold Zelda though...

Heavy sixers are the only ones with the cutouts for internal speakers, too, right? Or do light sixers have those too? ...mine's a 4-switch, I'm not l33t enough to know.

Talk about dedication. Reminds me of the time I vowed to play Contra III until I beat it, without any breaks. I gave up after about eighteen hours.

That wasn't a troll, man. Read some hardware docs. Often I find I answer my own questions before having to ask them. Google is your friend And I don't mean that in a disrespectful way, either... just... don't assume anything about hardware you don't know, because you'll sound stupid if you're wrong. I know from experience.

...I thought there was an Elevator Action proto already out there? Or has it not actually surfaced yet... And what about your Jumpman port? Is that one still in the works, or has it been abandoned?

That's highly possible-- I couldn't make heads or tails of it. I'm thinking that maybe I should get into the 5200 and the 8-bits, but I don't have one and don't really feel that connected to them... perhaps I should go with the Game Boy or something. Any Game Boy homebrewers out there on AtariAge?

I won a lot of games on eBay, 35 of them for $40 here . I notice that two or three of these are rarity 5, so I'm not worried about whether I paid too much for the lot of games, but... are any of these any good? I hear good things about Laser Gates, and I already have a couple of the "dirt commons"... but I've never played any of the rest of these. Hell, before now I didn't even own a game from Apollo. Any recommendations, or should I just resell/trade all of these for ones that are fun to play? After all, I'm the guy who had shrinkwrapped Lynx games, ripped them open and played them, so the value/rarity means nothing to me. I'm in it to play

Umm... honestly, I don't know. I would assume though. Maybe Bruce knows?

I guess it's the Imagic one, and the seller left off the apostrophe after "shootin" because I see at least four Imagic titles in the picture. Thanks, though... i only saw the pirated one in the rarity guide.

I built it with Xcode 2 on Tiger. Here's sign7800 and makerom. sign7800_makerom.zip

I would say that "unique" doesn't matter near as much as whether or not the genre is under- or over-developed on the VCS. The work being done over on Bob's blog about the categorization of titles in the library is A Good Thing.

I won one of these in a lot on eBay, and... well, the rarity guide doesn't have anything about it other than it's NTSC and from South America. What's the deal? Is it a pirate?

I was going to mention the vertical parts of Vanguard.

Their 7800 catalog is better, from what I hear.

Mike Singletary on the Bears is really good, as well. IIRC, he and LT were the only players who could actually contain the "Bo Jackson Supremacy."

I, being the Nintendo fanboy that I am, have had a SGB since they came out, and love it. But... how rare are they? Are they everywhere, or are they hard to find? I've always wondered how many people actually have a Super Game Boy. Man, the SGB Space Invaders is cool!

Yeah, the lag time would probably make the game suck, a whole lot. I'm also considering moving this game to another system, and learning a new system to program for. I've been itching to learn something else for a few months now anyway. But I don't know.

I have got to get a Supercharger. God bless this contest thing.
