Those ranking videos also help me to dodge some titles as well. I appreciate it. These titles do not disappoint. Eh, you are not going to agree with him on everything. He trashed Masters of the Universe, and I quite like that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have avoided buying a cart off eBay as I am convinced of this happening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having a physical cart with box & manual is better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha I have the 2600 version boxed, I am sure I shared that on here once, it's pretty fun too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those games I remember being better at as a kid than I am as an adult. Maybe I should try it a little buzzed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitsized Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 1 hour ago, JetmanUK said: Why, were you always buzzed as a kid? 🤣 It's not easy being a kid in the circus. Got this Mario Bros. 7800 this week off the Bay, and it was local pickup - no shipping! Purchased it for less than the usual $60. I've been obsessed with playing all the versions of this game. I loved the 2600 version in the late 80's and wanted to see how the play is on all the versions. The 2600 version is real smooth. 7800 is a bit rougher but still pretty smooth compared to the NES. With practice, this may be my go-to for Mario Bros. Waiting for the post today for another goodie... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario Bros and Dark Chambers were the most played games by two brothers 7 and 9 (or so) when I had my 2600+ set up at an event hosted by the Homecomputer Museum Frankfurt, two weeks ago🤙 It was nice to see how they stole each others points in Mario Bros and then worked together in Dark Chambers🤗 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good reporting, both solid titles. I just discovered Dark Chambers this past year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering what the interest would be on having a "parking lot" trading space for duplicate games. Has this been brought up before? I just picked up another Jr. Pacman because it had the box with it, and I could fill the gap of only missing the box, I would gladly put up Jr. Pacman (and some others) for trade. Most of my duplicate carts are probably common. What think? Might be interested in the Jr PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend and I were shopping for Atari games at some local stores when I saw E.T. for $10. I was about to buy it just for the sake of owning supposedly the worst game ever, but my friend stopped me and said I could just have his copy instead. He said he never liked this game anyway. What a nice friend! I just wanted to introduce you guys to @Calliser, he is the friend who gave me ET (see above post) and has been a good friend of mine for decades. He just recently created an account on AtariAge, and just in time for him to win a two button gamepad prize in yesterday’s drawing!

+Intellivision Master Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I bought 2 games today. They should arrive later this week. Edit: One of the games was not in stock. I was told there was an inventory error. I'll have to try getting the other game somewhere else later on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
