Tifany Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Hi guys! The Story: I had a bunch of freinds over last night and we got nostalgic so i broke out the old 6 switch woody and a bunch of games to play, warlords combat anbd video olympics getting the most play... well, to make a long story short, it turned into a long night and by the time everyone had left i was too tired to put the atari up... OK, flash forward to this morning i wake up to find my dog (whos half german shepard and halp coyote) calmly chewing on something... on closer inspection its my VIDEO OLYMIPCS!! YIKES! Well, i pryed it away from my doggie, and examined it... teeth marks, holes through the case, and bunches of slobber (ICK!) So i take the thing apart (after bonking my doggie on the nose (BAD DOG!! Never eat mommys games!)) and i find that the dog somehow punched a hole right through the little chip... i mean a real hole! Crunch! *sigh* I cant live without Pong! Ill go crazy! Well, ok, crazier! lol So, i was wondering if any of you lovely people out there had an extra copy of Video Olympcs lyin around that you might send my way?? Ill pay shipping of course, and maybe a few bucks for the cart itself! Help me Obi Wan, youre my only hope! Thanks guys For your time and putting up with me around here! I love yall! :-) And im not even saying that to suck up or anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 If I did have an extra one, I would give it to you, but I don't. What you might want to do is place this same post in our market place here at Atariage and you might find someone with a Video Olympics there.

Krytol Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 That's funny. Video Olympics is the only game I found in the wild with a case in such bad shape (chewed by a dog [presumably :ponder]) that I took the pcb out and threw away the case. Is there something about Video Olympics that dogs love (/hate)?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something about Video Olympics that dogs love (/hate)?: The paddles in them look like chew toys, so they mistake the cartridge as theirs.

+Andrew Davie Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Hi guys! Well, i pryed it away from my doggie, and examined it... teeth marks, holes through the case, and bunches of slobber (ICK!) So i take the thing apart (after bonking my doggie on the nose (BAD DOG!! Never eat mommys games!)) "bonking" in many parts of the world means "having sex with". I'd be more careful about how you tell that story, in future, given the international audience it's getting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Well, if you are going to take things well out of context...it might be. But I doubt it. I suppose that if she left the room with her game turned on...it served her right j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesb69 Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 if anybody wanted to send me a copy as well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tifany Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 note to self: never use the work "bonking" at Atariage! lol geez guys.. i love my dog, but i dont "love" my dog! and yes, this ceratinly teaches me to not leave stuff lying around all night! the weird thing is the dog has never chewed on anything before.. well except her chew toys, hmm maybe just a fluke thing? Anyhoose, all the atari stuff will stay up on the shelf when not in use! Yikes i can hear my mother now: I told you to pick up your toys young lady! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Dogs are made to chew up everything...just like cats are made to rip everything to shreds. If you have a table with all of it's original legs or something leather (shoes, jacket, purse) that has not been mated with yet, I'd say this dog is a little overdue.

moycon Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Who knew there was so so much nasal sex with animals in Tasmania... What a mad world we live in. I opened my copy of Video Olympics and found the chip was surrounded by Kibbles!!! Mystery solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukey Shay Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I'll never forget my old dad...when these things would happen to him...the things he'd say to me. ...what did he say? What the bloody hell are you doing in the bathroom day and night?! Why don't you get outta there and give someone else a chance?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Funny.... that's probably one of the few atari 2600 games that I actually have a cart for. Too bad it's the only one. But it looks like cpu wiz set you up. I was pretty sure I saw one at this place I frequent who sells atari carts loose a buck a piece.
