Atari_Bill Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Mail call today. The last game needed for Colecovision Xonox. Labels not so great, but it was a tough one to find in any condition. 5 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/233754-what-did-you-buy-today/page/144/#findComment-5112559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicGMR Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) I found this pic online, added the Ur-Quan at the top to add some more graphics so it wouldn't distort the image when I stretched it. Then I tried 5 different poster printing sites and they all sent it back as too low resolution for a 38"x23" poster. I dropped it into posterburner.com and had it in a week and only at $26. It looks amazing. There is no pixelation on any of the wording anywhere. It is absolutely beautiful and 100% legible like the original image. I can't wait to get it framed (40x27 poster frame from Walmart with some black backing for the border - $19 total) and up in the game room! The image is a whopping 3456 x 5670 pixels and 9.3MB. But it's beautiful in all of its Star Control II glory!

Atari_Bill Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Here’s something special (at least to me) that I just found. Really excited to get this as I have a love for all things Sears Tele Games. It is apparently a dealer preview from 1977. It shows products they are making as well as some that never saw production. All done in the 70s art styles. Also shows how Sears displays should be set up on site. Here are a few pics. I’ll get more out soon. Anyone ever run across this before? 13 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/233754-what-did-you-buy-today/page/144/#findComment-5113727 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Lost the AC adapter for my mini Porta Pi cabinet. Unfortunately, I can't find documentation on what AC adapter it uses. The closest thing to a complete parts list specifies BOTH the Adafruit 798 and 276 - one is 5v and the other 12v. Bought both with the hopes I can find more info.

ClassicGMR Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) So I wanted a Pac-Man clock for the game room... but I'm not spending $180+ on one. I spotted an unusual digital clock while searching and decided to check it out... it looked so "retro-tastic" I ended up asking for it for our anniversary and my wife said go for it. I offered $20 (was a BIN of $25) and the seller accepted. This thing has such a '70s feel to it! Fits right in over the tv in the game room. I have no idea what the remote is supposed to do (new batteries but still does nothing) however the clock runs from a 4-cell AA battery pack or plugged in AND it uses a button cell battery for power backup. If anyone knows anything about this thing feel free to send me a link or whatever you know. eBay link - Stoli Vodka Crushed Digital LED Alarm Clock Large Display Edited August 31, 2022 by ClassicGMR 4 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/233754-what-did-you-buy-today/page/144/#findComment-5115363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Had the opportunity to pick this up cheaply as it was mismarked as a C64 game. I get the impression that it’s somewhat rare, but can’t find too much about it online. Atari 8 bit isn’t quite my specialty. 4 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/233754-what-did-you-buy-today/page/144/#findComment-5116259 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Innit Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Not a rare game but pleased to get the International Edition version of Barnstorming at last.

adamchevy Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 3rd times the charm. I know my Dad would say that about wives. I need to take the Atari hippocratic oath this time around. -I Adam Ford do forthwith swear that I will not do anything from this day forward that would shrink my Atari collection. I swear this on pain of death before those present on the Atariage forums.— Let it be written. This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever purchased for $87.00, and it’s without a doubt the best looking console I’ve ever owned. Just curious has anyone ever found a paint or paint pen of some kind that matches the color of the trim. It would be nice to fix the 2 or 3 nicks it has. I guess they do add some character. 6 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/233754-what-did-you-buy-today/page/144/#findComment-5120689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
