Rob Mitchell Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 There is discussion via private message about a meeting in the Atlanta area about classic video gaming. This would be an informal gathering to share, show and talk, etc. Date and time TBA/TBD. The list includes DEBRO, Moycon and myself. Any others interested?

DEBRO Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 It would really be nice to meet my fellow Atari fans in the Atlanta area. I don't have a big game collection but I do have videos I can share (Stella @ 20, footage from CGE2K2 and CGE2K1) and some old 8-bit games we could play. Some of these I haven't seen on the net anywhere. Any of you interested in programming the 2600 or 5200? I've got some 6502 books too. Another attraction would be both Rob and I have Cuttle Carts so we can play a massive amount of 2600 games on the real console I also have a Supercharger for those that have been looking for one. I haven't used it since I got my CC so I don't know if it still works. So what do you say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted November 6, 2002 Author Share Posted November 6, 2002 It would really be nice to meet my fellow Atari fans in the Atlanta area. Yes! Well I have a Vectrex setup that rivals none! And my supermodified Atari 2600 is way cool! Plus my Bally Astrocade is worth showing off. There's enough of a crowd in Atlanta to have a pretty good meeting. Rob Mitchell, I-85N and Clairmont.

RangerG Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Rob and others -- Keep me posted. I live in Tallahassee and I would be willing to drive. You guys sound like you have some great stuff to show and I would like to meet some people and ask then some mod and emulation questions. Would it also be a trade/swap meet because that would be fun? It might be too far for me, but I love the Coke museum . Take care and I hope it works out! RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legeek Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Sounds cool! Cool multiplayer tourneys would top my list. Combat and Warlords come to mind. Also any one have a lynx with lynx cable or two? Or Battlesphere with link cable? Cheers, le geek ATL, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know Atlanta that well. I kind of stay North of the city all the time. Do you have any suggestions? You name it, give me enough notice, and I'm there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Will attempt to be there at 7:00. I would not be able to stay long if I did. Unfortunately I work 3rd shift and 7:30pm is sleepy time so I can make it thru the night. Still I'd like to say "hey" and let you know what's up.

DEBRO Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Okay, you guys will be able to spot me by the only black guy wearing an AtariAge t-shirt. Well, I guess I'll be the only guy wearing an AtariAge t-shirt, especially in the winter I'll try to get there a little before 7:00 to get us a table. See you there.
