  1. I just got an "USB IBM Floppy Disk Reader" from ShopGoodwill online and it turned out to also be a writer!
    I just wanted to get it because it was only $8 and it was in great condition (even came with the original carrying case) Score!

  2. I was asked my what was my favorite star wars movie today, so I said space balls.

      I have yet to watch Space Balls,
      might sit down and watch it with my Mom (she's a huge Star Wars fanatic)

  3. My brother is having to live with me for a while and he plays games that were made for 4:3 in fullscreen stretched and it's driving me insane.

      Might I add that I'm 17 and he's 28...

  4. Disappointed in Astroblaster, but Astrofighter more than made up for it... or is it the other way around.. or I am I confusing one astro- game with another...why don't games have astro in the titles so much anymore?

      kinda like the 80's strange obsession with the word "Tron" and how many games and or franchises used "Tron" in the name

  5. finally thought I cleared out all of my spare 2600 games, then what do I find, 2 medium boxes full of games, so I have about another 150 or so to clear out again.

      I hope one day I'll have 2 spare boxes of random Atari 2600 games that I can forget about, that's the life I want to live in.

  6. The power supply on my Fairchild Channel F is buzzing and I can feel it vibrating, I think it's time for me to figure out how to replace it, I was thinking of chopping it off and getting a new power supply that uses the same amps and volts that the Channel F uses, but I'm super new to repairing things, anyone see any problem with me doing that? (just an FYI, my Channel F isn't in the greatest cosmetic condition so it's not that big of a deal if I mod it in my eyes because no matter what, it's never going to be museum worthy haha)

      another FYI, if I can I am going to keep the box the power supply was in because it looks super neat, but if I can't then I'll just have it sitting around until I can figure out how to scoop out the internals with out hurting myself.

  8. down to my last ~25 loose intellivision carts, if anyone wants some cheap intellivision games let me know

      One time I found an Intellivision in someones garbage, even had a couple games with it!
      I took it home and dried it off and it worked perfectly, even both controllers worked!
      I really wish I still had it, we moved and we didn't have room for it ?

  9. I would love to get a Fairchild Channel F, I've herd that it has one of the best versions of pong ever made built it, but I work at McDonald's and
    make $190 a paycheck, and the only confirmed fully working one on ebay is $219 (which I did save my money a little bit and do have enough) but I'm wondering if I should wait for a better deal, or not spend my money and save because of this whole pandemic thing going on. You guys are smart, help?

      @fdr4prez I think the whole system is super cool, some games I am on the hunt for is Doge it, Moon lander, Maze Games and Video Whizball, but I would be fine with almost any game on the system (if it doesn't have "math" in the title lol)

      but I do agree that hockey is the much more fun version of pong on the unit

      @masschamber I am planning on getting that one now actually, I tried bidding but someone put a high maxamum bid on it, so I am going to wait until the last day and put my max bid on it. also that's cool about your working board, but I am looking for a fully working Fairchild with a couple of games with it (I have no friends in real life who care enough to play pong with me)
      but if you can find a couple games and get the system fully working I would totally buy it!
      thank you :)

      You could if you had a power up, but you would get hurt every time you jump, this would be a last resort kinda thing.

  15. Watching Back To The Future in bed with my awesome girlfriend, pizza and drinks. Life is good indeed.

  16. Went to the local Gamestop for the first time in at least ten years.  It was actually a pretty good experience.  I don't really play modern games so I don't have much reason to go, but I'm glad the store is there.  The clerk was friendly and helpful, and they had what I needed at a good price.

      @S1500 ikr! I remember going in there once and seeing almost a whole wall dedicated to Funko pops, but only a portion of that same wall dedicated to xbox one games.

  22. I kinda wonder what's the most stupid mod anyone has done to their Atari. Like, adding rgb lights all over it and giving it a mat black paint job to make it look like a modern pc dumb... Y'know?

      @Rogerpoco I kinda like the idea of a tacky silver Atari 2600, sorta like the trs80 color computer!

      Well... If you wanna do that I'll support you lol
