YarsRevengeFan Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Ok, So Atari Master writes a fictious story about an Atari sign on his head, and gets 14 replies as of this post. I write about a hook-up for an arcade game at the philly classic expo in the General Classic Gaming board, and get ZERO responses! What gives?

I havn't read your post but there's occasions I won't reply. One reason may be that I'm not interested. For example, I don't have an Atari Lynx. Therefore, I never even click on that. Or, if I have no idea what the hell your talking about, like arcade stuff probably, I won't reply. I also have two year old twins running around that are making it VERY hard to reply to THIS post!! It's nothing personal, and as a matter of fact, I've never seen the kind of helpful replys anywhere on message boards like this page....

StanJr Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 I read your post in Classic Gaming, but you didn't say anything about me getting to pretend I'm a Rhino, or anything about pirates. Seriously, there are only a handful of people here who do the Arcade Cabinet thing. Maybe try posting it here or in the Arcade Coin-op Forum. Or include stuff about bologna and XBOX. That seems to get people talking. Always off-topic Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubersaurus Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Technically, it would be impossible to have limiless potential, since everything has a limit to what it can do. It's simple logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Unless you're me. I've got unlimited potential...but the problem is I can't decide on what to do first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 OH NO! Not the infinity debate again!!! Don't get me started. And I would like to formally apologize for mentioning the "you know what-box." I promise it will never happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Well this thread is getting a pretty good response!!! I could post a sandwich in the other thread and see if it gives it a little boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 XBOX: best console ever? What do you think? Gamecube: does it suck? Thoughts please... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 WOW!! Calm down big boy, I didn't read your story on the Arcade hook up but maybe the way you wrote it gave the others all the infromation they needed so they didn't have to respond. I post here and there and only got a few responses my self then one day I posted about these jerks on ebay who are ripping people off and got over 140 hits. We all here love to read other people's posts so don't get upset about not having any posts. (Be Happy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 We all know that the best consoles ever the 2600, the NES, and the SNES and the Genesis. Now onto the second question, I like the cube alot, and it has potential, however, its too early to say if it sucks or not. Give it a year or two, then we'll talk.

NE146 Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 quoteWhat gives? Probably because this is mainly a console collectors board and I doubt more than a small fraction of the posters here actually collect Arcade Games (although I'm sure most would love to). Then you also cut down your list of potential responses by asking "who's coming to the Philly Classic and bringing arcade games for sale?" which probably is an even smaller fraction of the local denizens. Good luck at the Philly Classic. However if you're really looking at buying arcade games here's a great set of faq's which make great reading if you're interested in buying an arcade cab beyond that. Of course the newsgroups rec.games.video.arcade.marketplace , and rec.games.video.arcade.collecting are the standard "hang-outs" for trading and selling cabs as well. Check 'em out.

zanza Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 If I count the posts which get only "0 " replies, I could open an "0" shop Calm down, man, real life is more important than replies to post....00111011010101110 that's basically what we all do when are posting and replying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Jess Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 if its so great, then someone will just have to show me so buy buying me one. and Xbox that is. and if you say, no go buy your own. I cant. and if you say, no go rent one. I cant afford it either. and if you say, no get a job Ive been trying. and if you say, no try harder ive been trying very hard. I want a job. and if you say, no then take co-op i cannot get paid unless its an apprenticeship and there isn't one there i want and if you say stop being picky were we not talking about Xbox or something? so, the moral of the story is, if someone buys me an xbox, I will love it. the end.

jahfish Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 xbox sucks, gamecube sucks, and atari rules! anymore questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malix Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Here is a solution to the Xbox vs PS2 vs Gamecube dilema. I own a Sony but do not have any true love for any of the new systems. Adrian buy me and xbox and I will buy a gamecube. Then I will have all three. I will play Halo for the box, GTA3 for PS2 and whatever game you guys recommend for the Cube. Then my unbiased ass will pick one. End of arguement. Of course that is if Adrian will back up his love for the box and send me one. I know he has the money, we all know he makes bank.

So you see YarsRevengeFan, you simply have to talk about Gamecube vs. Xbox (even though this is a 2600 forum) and you're pretty much guaranteed a couple of replies. However obviously you don't always have to be so blatant. Here's a couple more helpful tips from the newsgroup world if you're interested.
