Yea. Keyboard sucks. The real Atari joystick is awesome for Atari 2600 & Commodore 64 games. For MAME (do you know about MAME? It is an arcade game emulator.) I have/use a $200 X-Arcade Dual Tank Stick w/Trackball. I also have 2, nice, Logitec game-pads. Hey, let me ask you this. Do you think you would ever be down with doing a little retro gaming online together? it's free & VERY fun! You just need the right emulator & game ROMS. I can teach you all you need to know. Let me know dude.
@KartKing4ever Oh, you mean my collection? I got ya. I do have 16 vintage consoles/200+ assorted carts, but unfortunately they are all packed away. I don't really use them. I use emulators because it is just easier and also, I have the ability to play every single game ever released for a specific system. Also, some retro emulators have support for online play. I do use a real Atari 2600 joystick though, with a USB adapter. Makes the gaming a little more authentic.
@gjc82071 Heh...you could say I'm into retro games. Like in out all around them. (That's maybe what she said?) Well I mean if all of your stuff is like near one place or room, make a video showing it and explaining it and maybe whee you got it and your history with retro games. Just basic stuff.
@KartKing4ever About what? Give me some ideas. I've never posted a video on Youtube yet, but i might. Cool username BTW. You into retro gaming at all?
@Xinn2000 Back in around '84, I remember seeing Intellivision carts for $1, in a big bin @ Kay-Bee Toy & Hobby. I have none of my "original" consoles, but back in 2001, I fell into a little $ & went on a console/cart collection spree. I have 14 pre-1983 consoles/150+ assorted carts. They are all packed away & I only use emulators now. I have like 50+ emulators & probably well over 50,000 assorted ROMs/games. I'm into classic gaming. Atari, Intellivision, Coleco, etc, & MAME (arcade games).
@gjc82071 I guess you can say I am. After the crash in 83 we were able to get a ton of Atari games for dirt cheap. We were kinda poor so we didn't really have that many game systems growing up. But we did eventually buy a Sega Genesis and one of my uncle's co workers gave him a Super Nintendo which he gave to us. I still have all 3 today, but there not the original ones I got as a kid. But I do have all my original cartridges, which is pretty awesome.
@gjc82071 I'm down to play if thats an open offer on the retro gaming just pm me

@gjc82071 At least you don't use the keyboard. The more originality, the better.

Holy crap, Don Pardo doing a video game commercial voice over!! Never heard him outside of Saturday Night Live. That's pretty cool.
Cheers.
