i wanted to know where the 2006 classic gaming expo is being held? it was in burlingame, ca in 2005. is it going to be there again?

i'm using a geocities.com website. it's free and very easy to use. the only bad thing is if you get too much traffic you use up your hourly mb limit. keep the pics kind of small and it usally ok. you can only upload 15 mb of images etc... too. to get around this you can have multiple email accounts and link them together.

i'm very familiar with your site. an amazing collection. your display is awsome too. the number of boxes that you have is impressive. i really like the graphics on them.

i've looked at your site a bunch of times. i would think that it takes a whole bunch of dedication to track down that much stuff. i've done a little browsing in the s.f. bay area but haven't come across anything interesting yet.

the sears basketball is a text cart.

while checking out different threads on the atariage website i've come across links to a number of personal atari sites. there are some really impressive collections out there. i think starting a thread listing all of the personal sites would be convenient and cool. if you have a site list it. here is the site i recently made for my original atari collection. http://www.geocities.com/pattheblue/atarihome.html

I still have all of my original Atari 2600 collection that I started in 1980. Even as a kid I was pretty good at taking care of and holding onto my things. I'm actually a little suprised that I don't have the console box still. All of my games are still complete though. I remember how I liked the colorful boxes and the way they looked displayed on my shelves. I just picked up a set of joysticks to replace my broken originals so now I can play some games again. I recently made a website dedicated to all of my original (and only) Atari collection. Here it is!! www.geocities.com/pattheblue/atarihome.html

i was wondering who aquired their rare atari carts when they were first released. for example, buying quadrun through atari age magazine etc.., and how many they picked up this way.

thanks for the offer but i'm probably going to hang on to my collection for now.it has too much sentimental value for me at the moment. everything that i own i picked up when i was 12-15 years old. i may actually try to complete the atari age collection myself. thanks for the info too.

since pulling my atari 2600 out of the closet recently, i've been doing some research on some of what i have. i almost have a complete set of atari age magazines. i'm missing vol 2 #4. i also have the vol 1 #1 newsprint atari age magazine which came out before the traditional slick magazines. i'm curious to know what the value is of these magazines. especially the newsprint vol 1 #1. thanks!

the only console i've ever owned, a sears heavy sixer purchased in 1980. serial # 33851S

i was wondering if there's anyone out there with an early activision dragster certificate like mine? the later examples i've seen on the web appear to have the specific information such as name, cert#, date, typed in. the info on my cert appears to have written by hand. i'm assuming that many of the early one's were like this. please let me know what you think and if you have a certificate post it. thanks!

adventure was my favorite.

thanks for the reply. i have swordquest earthworld.

thanks for the response. my magazines are volume 1 #1-#6 and volume 2 #1-#5

i just pulled all of my old atari/activision carts out of my closet. i starting buying them in 1980. i don't know a thing about all of the little details collectors look for. please feel free to educate me about my collection. i'm not looking to sell, i'm just curious. all of my carts are boxed with the instructions. dragster minature golf laser blast riddle of the sphinx indy 500 slot racers football missle command flagg capture sky diver adventure maze craze outlaw fishing derby berzerk hunt&score casino circus atari slot machine human cannonball defender asteroids bowling battlezone skiing basic math dodge'em brain games golf basketball sears sword quest code breaker checkers activision super challenge football surround combat space invaders hangman basic programming night driver i also have a sears heavy sixer, some early atari age magazines, an activision ski club patch and letter, a laser blast patch and letter, and the pride of my collection, a dragster club certificate that is cert #4 which i received october 1980. i also have various controllers.

Just curious what your time was? my time was 5.94.

my cert is from october 1980. the color is a light beige or manilla.

i certainly think it's cool. my time was only 5.94. i remember as a 12 year old putting tape on my television in an effort to shift at the last possible moment. it drove me insane. i'm just curious about value. i won't be selling it.

i have an activision dragster certificate for breaking 6 seconds. it's the fourth ever issued. does anyone know if it has any $ value?

recently i pulled out all of my atari carts etc.. i discovered that my activision dragster certificate is the fourth ever issued. does anyone know if it has any $ value. i'm just curious. i don't think i'll ever part with it.
