BigO Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 (edited) I scrolled through this stuff fairly quickly, did I miss a Stunt Cycle in there somewhere? It's one of a very few dedicated units that I'd like to have, just for the nostalgia of the many hours played with a long gone friend. I saw that there's a 2600 version of Stunt Cycle (unreleased, or hack, or something). I was tempted to make a set of handlebars with throttle (paddle controller) to fit on to a 2600 for use with that cartridge to make it kinda like playing that console.

Atariboy2600 Posted September 10 Author Share Posted September 10 Physical gaming manuals and booklets are an endangered species and only shown online pages and none with gaming case and for years I been keeping and collecting extra manuals, books, catalogs and comics just in case I lose any with my box games. GOD I missed manuals in todays gaming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy2600 Posted September 10 Author Share Posted September 10 It’s a miracle that the Atari was still selling the VCS under the model name 2600 Jr a 1986 cost-reduced version but what many don't know is that the 2600 was in market from 1977 and did not discontinuation till 1992 even with systems from NES, SNES, Master System and Genesis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy2600 Posted September 12 Author Share Posted September 12 I was 9 when I first played Ms.Pac-Man at the arcades in 1981 and played her on the Atari systems. And even if Bandai Namco wanted to remove her from there list to me she will always be my first female video gaming character. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy2600 Posted September 12 Author Share Posted September 12 I love Dig-Dug! Played it at age 10 in 1982 arcades and still own the home ports for all three Atari systems 2600, 5200 and 7800. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy2600 Posted September 12 Author Share Posted September 12 Just unboxing some of my old childhood crap from the before times. Many old junk from Happy Meal toys and what not. Its like a treasure hunt you many never know what shit you could find. Many are needed to have some good old TLC with some cleaning and restoring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitanClassic Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 (edited) Looking at all these old toys reminds me of Silly Putty. That stuff was a amazing at making perfect color transfers of Saturday morning comics onto its surface. (too bad it causes cancer or something) Looks like I was wrong, it is still sold. Maybe the formula has changed, or maybe the formula for the ink used in newspapers changed. Kind of how everyone used to love McDonald's when they used beef tallow, and people still say they are good (using vegetable oil) because they don't remember how great the original recipe was.

Yeah before and during gaming video games we all grew up with toys at the time and I like a pack rat never got ride of any. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine from our local Woolworth (Bronx NY). From 1970 to around 1997, there were versions of Talking View-Masters, which included audio technology with the reels with three major designs with increasing sophistication. Here's one playing one of the Talking Superman Reel. test.mp4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy2600 Posted September 13 Author Share Posted September 13 In 1976 Mattel released Pulsar, the Ultimate Man of Adventure! Pulsar was a little taller than Six Million Dollar Man and instead of bionic parts, he had pumping organs! GROSS! But as a 70s kid it was cool. 1976 TV ad https://youtu.be/F2Dqoawk6k0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy2600 Posted September 13 Author Share Posted September 13 As a kid I had a blast with this toy using what ever small figures I used. Had this extra BIG TRAK in storage and just now added stickers on it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
