someone care to explain?
I'm sorry, if this is obvious, but I don't get it. could be a play of words or similar that does not work for non-native speakers?
I build pedals to hide my lousy playing.

Juan-song sounds like "swan song", a term for a  performers last performance before retirement (Comes from an old legend that swans were mute until just before they died. They're not, by the way, they goose honk all the time)

Sorry Felix. It's a play on "swan song." It's kind of a metaphorical final act. Just popped into my head.

Latest Project. Advertised as a 'loft find'. Let the repair/restoration commence. If this one ends up nice, I'll RGB mod it and do some shuffling with the UAV (S-Video) board that's in the Junior, and put that in the 7800, then just composite mod the Jr.

Woohoo! Nice find. I found a classic Atari with 100 games built in. We love it.

This was the thing that it seemed like every one in the universe had but me. It put me on a downward spiral of always sucking at video games. Oh well. Sweet score. That brings back lots of '80s memories.

Nice 6-switcher! I had terrible luck at yard sales last weekend.

I'm hoping I'm not the only person who owns a copy of Journey Escape for the Atari 2600.   ;D

I probably own seven copies of E.T., but we can talk about that another day.   :P

Ebk I knew I liked you. I believe there might be a copy of the journey game at my brothers.

We collected some choice games a few years back.

I'm with you guys.. I probably have a few dups myself. Over the years I would pick up lots of 2600 & 5200 games at yard sales and storage clean ups. Every few years I would go through them all and keep the better of the dups and give the others to friends.. or foes if its 5200 games. LOL

Man, I played the hell out of Journey Escape. No one else ever seems to have heard of it.

If I find out any of my friends haven't heard of the Journey Escape game, we go our separate ways.
