Schizophretard Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 That's a pretty big list and will be very hard to get from people donating a little bit at a time. Each person wouldn't just be donating a few carts but the shipping also and you would only be getting donations from people that have doubles. If there were a way to combine them all in one shipment then people could donate more carts for less money going towards shipping. Maybe instead of getting a few carts here and there people can donate a few bucks towards a lot of games. Maybe a member or more could give a list of games they have for sell, people donate a few bucks(including people that have no doubles), and then you pick which games you want the most from the list based on how much money was donated or maybe there would be enough to get the whole lot. I'm not saying someone puts a list of complete in box games for 10 bucks or more each. Maybe something like loose carts for a dollar each. Each dollar that is donated is a game you get. Something like that might work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like that might work better. The question that remains is would members here be willing to support such a thing? Before I know definitively that they would be willing I couldn't ask such a thing because I wouldn't want it to be an imposition on anyone who might not be in a financial position to contribute because to some even something as small as a dollar could amount to a lot when one does not have it due to certain unforeseen circumstances, which is why I asked willing members if they have the extra games to spare just lying around not being used, or even if they have any 2600 games they might no longer play Edited May 23, 2011 by RichG1972 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophretard Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I feel you but sending carts costs money so donating money instead of carts would be cheaper. It would actually be asking for less but getting more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black dog Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 As most of you know I posted back in 2002 a list of every Atari cartridge I had when I bought my 6 switch Atari that I later restored, well that system is long gone now along with the games, controllers and even my Star-Raiders Video Touch Pad and Video Game Organizer with smoked lid, here is the list of the games I once had and now have to find SOME way of getting them again, I already re-acquired some of the titles locally here but could not find all of them so any help would be greatly appreciated if any of you have any doubles laying around that you can spare to help a fellow Atari enthusiast and longtime member of the board out after all it isn't easy for someone like me who has Cerebral Palsy and is on SSI to do alone and some of you have helped me out a few times already, in fact the Frogger in the list here that I had was donated to me by a board member here but now it's gone thanks to my ex-wife , now onto the list below: 3-D Tic-Tac-Toe Air Sea Battle Airlock Asteroids Atlantis Basketball Berzerk Bowling (got it again) Breakout (got it again) Canyon Bomber Carnival (got it again) Casino Centipede Chopper Command Circus Atari Combat Cosmic Ark (got it again) Cosmic Creeps Defender Demons To Diamonds Donkey Kong Donkey Kong Junior* E.T.

+RichG1972 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 Heck back in the day when my father first bought HIS Atari 2600 4 switch woodgrain, we kids only got to play it every summer as we didn't have one of our own until the all black version came out, and HE had to switch the cartridge or his girlfriend, WE were not allowed to do it because he didn't think us old enough or responsible enough and he had a rule, after we ate we washed up immediately or we didn't play. I still employ that rule, plus I still use what he did back in the day a green Mead 3 subject notebook to keep score of each game and which difficulty/game level it was played on written in the book. But what really made those days special was me sitting at the Atari with my Dad sipping on a bottle of yoo-hoo, the older bottle style with the beer bottle design influences including cap, and a Mars candy bar while playing (my hands never touched the candy itself so it was cool, plus I only ate them when it was his turn then used a Diaperene wipe on my hands lol....oh the memories!

Schizophretard Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I'm having trouble telling if that is the TV because it is too dark. Is the TV silver? Do you have a picture or an online one for that RF cable you are using that helps with interference? I'm using one from the Best Electronics picture below. Out of all my RF cables(I have a lot) this one gives the clearest picture. Also, the other day I received an Atari Universal TV Switch Box in the mail. I'll put the Best Electronics picture for that too. I haven't used it yet but it appears to be designed better than any switch box I have had and I'm hoping it makes the picture even clearer. I didn't buy either of these from Best Electronics. I'm just using the pictures as examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That TV is black and woodgrain and the dial is black with silver numbers, as for your pictures the RF cable pictured is the one with the RF suppressing Torrid on it which gives the absolute clearest picture Edited June 20, 2011 by RichG1972 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
