polargeek Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I've had two Atari 2600 scores in the last month. First I picked up a junior plus a tonne of games including some Zellers bootlegs for $100 CAD And today also for $100 CAD I got a light-sixer, a Vader, more games and a Basic cartridge along with the keyboards and overlays 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! I love Zellers! I love my Time Warp! ☺️ Ok... So my garage looks like this now. . The garage had no arcade games in it yesterday. Now it has four I only own one of these machines (the rest are nebulously owned), but yeah... I'm almost ready to bring on the Tears for Fears and Oingo Boingo and announce a retro time warp zone. Oh and here's a photo of the same thing in high and low tones. Have fun with it in Photoshop if you like 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mr. Video Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Bought a homebrew Power Base Converter and Choplifter because Master Systems and official converters are too expensive these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did you pay? Cause I paid less for my PBC converter than many of my games. $60 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicGMR Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I waited almost 2 months for this. Can’t wait to try it out on the arcade cabinet! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keir Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Recently traded with @McCallister for a boxed Galaxian and a whole bunch of manuals and catalogs. I already had a CIB Galaxian but it was the 88 release and I really wanted the original 83 version that came with the comic. The SNES game and D&D book were from a local game store. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+bent_pin Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Pretty excited about this one, now I can play 5200 with a reliable, self-centering controller. It works perfectly and I have a backup AT-5200 controller that also works perfectly. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still sealed until I'm ready to install it next week, but here's the stock pic: It's double-sided, 3D, and it lights up. I'm probably going to mod it with a uC and some LEDs, not sure though. Follow-up pictures when it's up. My awesome girlfriend got both of these for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn you both. Now I have to get into this.😉 Galaga was going to be Hobby Lobby but I went eBay(+$1.50) because I'm lazy and they only had that one plate I was interested in. I bought 3 plates from this seller : https://www.ebay.com/itm/125919956962?var=426870673546 Cost me about $10 each which I was ok with since HL didn't have anything else I wanted. I got Frogger, Ms. Pac-Man and (I forgot earlier) Space Invaders. I don't see an Asteroids though. I'd be interested in one as well if you end up doing one @bent_pin.

I absolutely LOVE the sign though and still want one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
