Always bump this thread. It's one of my favorites.

That's the one, thanks! I pity the kid whose parents got that over an actual fun system.

What WAS the thing that Mattel put out with the educational games? With the really bland packaging and tons of inserts for kids to lose? I remember a geography game with a brown box and a girl's face on it, same size as an Intellivision game.

Monday/month end/coming back after a day off, take your pick. Don't these guys know I'd rather be playing Fathom?

You've got two KC's. Now a WORKING unit, that's another story.

Mostly staples and things I like, although if something's cheap and boxed I won't turn my nose up at it. I probably only have about 60 boxed games, so enough to call myself a collector but not enough to be taken seriously.

I wish this would hurry up and happen. I need Uninvited to go back to being $30 complete. It's the dumbest game and I put it off, and now it's my still-dumb white whale.

Dino listed a copy of "his" Deep Zone, and I reported it. I dunno, I don't blame vroby on this one. EDIT: It was promptly relisted. How lovely.

Thanks jaybird3rd. Sorry I lost my you-know-what.

Okay. This very subject is the reason I stopped lurking the Coleco boards. Somebody said something WAY out of line, along the lines of "I hope the BSRs die off so an unsuspecting wife releases it" and I got so pissed I never went back. So pardon this rant, but the choice of board this subject ended up being posted on again has set me off fresh. 1. There are at least three BSRs who hang out and post in this forum, and one more with an account who lurks with some regularity. A lot of these folks are still friends, and Keith was a big part of their group. This particular thread isn't the place for this. 2. Re: the Coleco board comment - some of the BSRs have HUSBANDS. Don't for one second think it's gonna be a woman who f*cks it up. 3. There are VERY few people with access to the game, and they are quite trustworthy. It will not leak. (No, I'm not one of them, though if I were I'd keep it safe out of sheer spite at this point.) 4. It's not "screaming copyright" if a very small company can't afford licensing fees from a very big company. It was a legit issue. It was also why Tron never got rereleased, and the D&D games had to have name changes. 5. Didn't Keith once say on the podcast that the only major difference was the Coleco version had a bug when Skeletor runs across the screen between levels? Y'all Coleco folks really gettin' your skivvies in a twist over a buggy game that already exists? ANYway. *toasts Keith* Later dudes.

Dude's gonna hate-listen to an episode of your show now.

I tease. Have fun! I played it last year, an hour of Fathom instead isn't going to kill me.

I'm wildly offended that somebody forgot I called Frog Bog dibs months ago. xD

If the Oregon Bound box is still up for grabs I'd like it. I left all the games I got at PRGE with my parents, intending to get them at Christmas when we drive up. They forgot and shipped everything I got while I was there, games included, and Oregon Bound got squished in a priority box with some sneakers, a hoodie, and a giant bag of almonds. Womp womp. I shudder to think what the box coming tomorrow will look like. It'll have my flattened signed boxes and The Secret Government Waffle Project, along with some sharp-edged silver pie servers.

I'm gonna buy this just for a new version of Fathom. Fight me.

Ray Kaestner signing some boxes for me while I'm no doubt "karensplaining" something. I think my Diner box is finished - now signed by Ray, Dave Warhol, Connie Goldman, and Keith.

1. Would like to call dibs on one of those LTO's please. 2. No Karen Nugent, but the other BSRs on the list are still going.

Hanging out with family today. The main street in town is having a scarecrow contest for the local businesses, and the ice cream place dressed up a giant soft serve cone like a witch. Maybe you had to be there, but it cracked me up.

Ha! I misspelled my own username. Whatever, I'll roll with it. XD

I'll be a copycat and follow the Inty nerds if I'm not too late. Karen Overstreet colormeticky Los Angeles

Heck yes. Thank you! I must've chosen my words poorly when I tried to search old threads.

Do the demo carts all have the same color labels no matter what color the box is? Specifically trying to figure out which color box this cartridge would go in, but curious about the labels for all of them, if anyone knows.

This looks like it would be useful for people who don't collect variant packaging. And if there's one thing I love, it's having everything on a tidy spreadsheet.

I adore Sewer Sam, but I totally get how walking down hallway after hallway till you get bit in the butt by a snake could get old.

I second B-17 Bomber. It's a fantastic game and I enjoy watching other people play, but I'm garbage at it and I get frustrated. Also Atlantis. I figure if I don't play it, I can't lose.
