My old Atari

[Brian in Mesa]

...is not for sale.



Seriously, I have an Atari 2600 with tons of games, including my favorite 2600 game - Yar's Revenge.

Seriously, are you going to sell it?

Nope, it's going to collect dust for 50 years in a box in his garage, and by the time he gets it out, it won't even be able to be sold.

Yar's was a tremendous game.

I still have it somewhere at my folk's house.

funny you mention atari. moving up on the video game scale, i've been addicted to rbi baseball 3 for the origional nintendo latley. classic game. it makes the moaning sounds when you hit a foul, and it even has instant replay.

My favorite original Nintendo game was Mike Tyson's Punch Out. That game.... freaking rules.

I loved that game as well. I think the guy after Sodapop Whiskey always whooped me though.

Techno Super Bowl was also one of my favorites, along with this baseball game. I can't remember it's name, but the players were really cartoon'y (I'm sure that helps )

Hah yeah.. the one character I always think of when I hear about Punch Out, was that big fat guy with his crown and bandage over his bellybutton. He was a cool guy.

Techno Super Bowl Rocked!!!

I also like the Dodge Ball game were you tryed to kill eveyone off. China vs USA that was hard. Good times Good Times.

Why don't you guys download an emulator and some roms?

Where do you go to do that?

I had a pretty bad addiction to the atari system, Yar's Revenge was one I played but now I can't remember it.

My former roomie at college helped me get Punch Out last year - To this day I am still clueless on how she did it, but oh well it's a great way to procrastinate

My parents want to sell their working 2600 Atari in the future... what's the starting bid?

Check out this resource. The problem is finding the ROMs you like.

Also, MAME32 is really cool, it does old style arcade stand up machines in a windows GUI environment.

That site has a good list.

The Phoenix Cardinals just got pounded by Emmitt Smith and the Dallas Cowboys in Techmo Superbowl

You rock!! I used to play that game non stop. Did you ever notice on some of the big guys like Bald Bull that when you knock them down and they're on their stomachs it looks like their weiner is sticking out of their shorts. As a kid that is always amusing. King Hippo was great too, when you punch him and his pants fall down. I never could beat Mike though.

You poor child I sincerely hope you're joking. The Atari was the king of pointless, endless games that just went on and on and the only goal was to get as many points as possible. There was no ending to any of the games. Moon Patrol is one of the all time greats. Ah, the memories...

LoL can't say I ever noticed that. But when I watched Aladdin as a kid there was a part where if you turn it up really really loud it said "take of your clothes."

Those Disney movies have some hidden sexual innuendos, lemme tell ya!

What about the *****, in the background of one scene in the "Little Mermaid"?

If you can find one of the early releases, it is clearly visible. Disney edited it out in later releases.

Super Dodge Ball ROCKED!

I've looked for that game many times, and haven't been able to find it. Japan was awesome in the game (of course).

There are plenty of emulators out there, for any game system.

I have one for the SNES, NES, and Genesis.

Tons of free, old games, though one technicality: You are supposed to own the game if you have the computer rom file. It is illegal to keep the rom file if you don't own the game, though you can keep the rom file for 24 hours or something like that.

Just do a search for roms (system name) and emulators (system name). It can be quite time consuming, but the games can be a lot of fun!

And I always knew Little Mermaid was bad
