In HS I gamed more on a my Atari computers.  Kid I went to school with had a couple hundred games he pirated.

 

 

I think I will check out the Atari 50 game collection.   The documentary part of it will likely keep me more interested in it then just a collection of 50 year old games. We have one of the retro consoles and I think used it less then 2 hours.  But the history part playing through it as it evolved sounds cool.  And I missed years of Atari games.

Nice post man I always dreamed of owning an Atari computer back in the day. I ended up getting a Commodore 128 I pirated many C64 games.  Those were the days. Go to a friends house and copy games to floppy disks

 

I spent a good hour playing games and checking out the extra content in the Atari 50th Anniversary collection just now. In my opinion this collection is well worth the $40.

 

 

 

First console also was a Colecovision and I loved the shit out of that thing. Had all the stupid controller add ons for baseball and racing. Those were the days when something like Donkey Kong Jr. was able to be on every console out there.

The Colecovision was another console I desired back in the day and never got to play on. 

 

Since my birthday is in January, starting in my preteen years, if I held onto my Christmas money, I'd usually have a good amount by late January when the birthday cards came in.  I think it was 1988 when I used the double windfall to get a 7800.  The first console I bought myself.  Not sure where I have it.  I think it was included in a bundle of stuff I got from my parents a few years back when they wanted to clear stuff out of their house.  My parents had bought a 2600 for the family, and my grandparents did as well for when we visited, which my parents got when my grandmother passed.  I have at least one of the 2600s, maybe both.

Thanks for sharing that. That's cool how you worked out your Christmas/Birthday gifts.  I was never that smart lol.

Most of my friends actually had Commadore 64 or Vic-20 when I was in middle school.  I never had one but remember going to their houses and playing on those computers.  One game called Rat Race I think.  Played many hours of that one. 

 

As for copying floppies did a ton of that on the one kid's Atari 800.  So many games I don't think I booted up 1/3 of them.  lol

Found an extra redeem code for what I believe is the original Halo Wars 2 season pass and Halo Wars: Definitive Edition.

 

First person to quote this post with a great dad joke I haven't heard gets the code.

I guess I never thought of it until now.  My back log goes back to the mid to late 80s.

I should be all over it, yet here I am with a big dose of hopium going back to WoW.

I did that with WotLKC and it was fun for a month or so considering I skipped it in retail long ago. I've debated trying this expansion, but I think unless it goes F2P there is no real appeal for me to ever play retail again. I don't raid, PvP is a joke, and all I ever do is hit level cap and grind dungeons for gear or farm for gold. Even knowing that I'd still play, but I won't pay for the experience.

Yeah I used NWA.  It's the full name of a rap group featuring dr dre, cube, and easy e.  It's a terrible joke, but I laughed out loud when I heard it

That looks great.  The collection has Food Fight, which I played the hell out of in the old Arcade Room (and can still probably get some playtime achievements out of if it still works).

 

Missing a few games I enjoyed on their systems, but I'm not sure how the rights line up for them.  It looks like Desert Falcon would've been eligible.  The 2600 version was in Arcade Room, but the 7800 version looked a lot better.  Midnight Magic would've been nice.  Looks like Atari licensed the name from Broderbund, but developed their own take on it.  Not sure where that leaves it.  Looks like a bunch of others are owned by other companies, even though Atari was the developer for the 7800 port.

Jeff Gerstmann, host of the new podcast The Jeff Gerstmann Show , had on Mike Mika from Digital Eclipse this week and they dived pretty deep on Atari 50th. One of the interesting things they touched on was Mike mentioned "DLC". Long story shorter... he basically said there are games they were close on with rights holders and getting the devs to interview and contribute but they weren't able to make it happen. Now that the game has come out and they see what Digital Eclipse created and what they were going for they've recontacted them about getting involved. He didn't mention anything specific and yeah I doubt I'm ever going to live the dream of beating Raiders of the Lost Ark (on one controller) but hopefully something interesting happens.

I jest. 

 

Considering this forum is mostly dead, I appreciate the occasional tangential topics that come up. At least it's a little break from whatever Xbox discussions we do have in here and some nice communal tomfoolery. I love that the forum still replaces the N-word with 'Ninja'. Reminds me of the olden days when this community was still thriving.

We could talk about those Gamecocks. I was rooting for them to beat Tennessee. But now I’m scared for Clemson next week!

That should be good, but I think Clemson wins it.  I'm sitting here sweating watching the battle of LA

This site says Argentina has Marvel Puzzle Quest for $0.91

Does anyone have any experience with traveling there? Do I pay with paypal? 91 cents with all the DLC included is a steal.

What I always find more amusing is the one that puts it out front that they are "The Old Guy" usually isn't the old guy.... shuffles off to a corner

I have done some more testing on the Series X.  After I reboot the Series X I get the weird errors with the ethernet not working. I have to do a full shutdown, remove the expansion card, and start up the Serie X. Ethernet works and then I can insert the expansion card and everything is happy until I shutdown the XBox. I guess I can try keeping the XBox in instant on power mode for now and see how long it continues to work. 

 

I never had this problem with the 1TB expansion card. Maybe there is some firmware update with the newer expansion cards causing this issue?

The "Sleep" power option seems to work well. If i have to shutdown the system I will just have to remove/reinsert the 2TB expansion card to get the ethernet port to behave until Miccorsoft patches the OS.

You can't travel there to shop.  You have to have somebody send you a post card.

 

I finished the Deer Simulator game, mostly out of spite by the end.  I played Fight Club on Xbox afterwards as a palate cleanser.

Does anyone here need another follower/friend for the Xbox Ambassador mission? For some removing and re-adding existing friends doesn't work anymore...or maybe I'm doing it wrong this time around. I need two more! Thanks in advance!
