Cobra Commander

I was enjoying some Space Invaders last night and decided to follow up with some fan art.

Love the avatar! Dr. Paul Bearer has come up if a few threads over the years. I forgot about his tag line till just now.

Another vote for Katamari Damacy. Intelligent Qube for PS1. Great music and original, simple gameplay. ET on 2600. I hate this game, but I feel its intent was way ahead of its time and some of the mechanics suffered IMO. Too weird to catch on, and without the hype and marketing it probably would have been some niche title. It pretty much is anyway if we counted the number of people who enjoy it. Fast Food on 2600. BURP! need I say more. Typing of the Dead for DC. WTF?

So you didn't see "Video Game" in the description. Merlin is a hand held. Simon is a console IMO.

I used google sketchup to make simple shapes like mazes and imported to unity a few years ago(maybe it was blender?) However, they sold it to Trimble a while back and I don't know what kind of files the free version will output.

Here's one I spotted on my favorite TV show. https://youtu.be/uL9NudhhSQE

They do a pretty good job of explaining its intent, with the pseudo-3D environment and the interaction with the other people in the game.

I've really narrowed my collecting to 2600 and am over 300 games so I pass on stuff all the time. I don't even look at most peoples inventory, let alone know what to look for. I could have missed tons of stuff. I've seen lots of 5200's lately. I did pass on a Jag for $50 six months ago.

Do you see "video game" in the forum description? Classic Gaming GeneralDiscussion of all the classic game systems and computers outside the Atari realm (since we have Atari-specific forums above), such as the Vectrex, Odyssey 2, Channel F, Sega Master System, and the list goes on...

Epic!

Cavities and a bigger butt.

Just making a joke about how neurotic some people can be with things. This does not look obsessive, just neat and BIG!

Why are they not in individual one gallon zipper storage bags, with labels? That's what I did with controllers as well, but you gots problems brotha, A good problem though. I like big zipper storage bags. You gotta get rid of those rubber bands before they deteriorate and get all gooey.

^This^ The VA II absolutely uses an AC power supply. Yes the NES power supply works with the VA II just fine.

Welcome to Atari Age. I like Tetris for Nintendo and Missile Command for the Atari 2600.

Why would you fix Defender? I like clear dry craft glue like "Tacky Glue" I've also used Elmer's school glue.

I used to joke that electronics were little pipes filled with smoke. When something fails, or someone screws up, they "Let the smoke out."

I hear one doesn't need any quarters at the big arcade in the sky and there is no tilt.

Not my parents. However, my father in law who is 68 is the most hard core gamer I know. He has been playing everything since the 2600. He mostly plays RPG's now and has marathon sessions on Sundays with my stepdaughter who is 20. He has an entire library of strategy guides.

Very cool. Does it work? Did you get to test it personally? I'd pick it apart condition wise regardless of rarity. Condition is everything.

Started in 1902 in the city of my birth, Minneapolis. I don't think they used the Target name till the 60's.

Pics please.

It would be cool if Bill Cosby would join,Not! I got a C128 recently and don't have space for a TI. I probably would be a bigger TI fan if the one I found functioned. In the future if I find one, I'm in.

Ya don't know if ya don't go. This is my collecting motto/maxim/personal axiom.

That sucks, guess it will never happen. When I watch a movie I want to be entertained first with a good script and quality production. Truth is second, that's what documentaries and books are for. Just my opinion anyway.
