Video Game "Look what I found"

If you need a new 7800 power cable, get one from here:

http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/


If you've never heard of this place, it's run by a guy who bought out a few warehouses of actual Atari stock in the late 1980s. Anything you order is real Atari manufacture. His print catalog is amazing and well worth the $10.00 dollars as a resource guide to anything Atari ever made. As far as the 7800 goes, pick up a couple of the European joypads along with your power cable. I bought a pair new a few years ago from him and they were only $15.00 each (shipped in an actual Atari box with sealed with Atari tape!)

Wow, this is the ugliest website I have ever seen. Unsurprisingly, the code indicates that the site was built with Microsoft FrontPage 6.0 in 2002. I thought we had rid the web of this nonsense by now. The funny thing is that he still updates the Page with the same software. Last update = June 13, 2015.

That said, I must admit that his stock is impressive.

It can be a very difficult website to navigate...but if you love Atari, it's quite an experience. Fortunately, you can e-mail or call with stock or general questions and get an immediate response. Interestingly. I found an article about the owner and it noted that he processes all orders on an Atari 800XL and prints the invoices on an Atari dot matrix printer. Best product he has IMO...his rebuilt Atari 5200 controllers. That was how I first found out about the place. I spent a month straight studying/reading his print catalog (it's a bit like the website...packed but a little challenged organizationally.)

I always thought it was a fad or no one cared for Atari until I owned the 7800 and got into Atari. I didn't know what a following Atari still have and the games and people who and are involved.
I actually wrote to Howard Warshaw while I had the Atari and just told him how I'm thankful for his work and being a fan of Atari and even asked him if he still plays or has an Atari. He actually wrote back and yes he still has and plays Atari when he ever has free time lol. Made me even a bigger fan.
Damn I miss my 7800. It's just feels right saying I was playing dig dug on the Atari last night.

Yeah Best Electronics is legit... HORRIBLE website, AMAZING prices and stock.

No "Look what I found", but bragging anyway:

Found a pair of the limited edition Messiah NES controllers (the ones that work on any system), in the lunchbox, for $60 at the con this weekend.

...Now if only my NES wasn't in storage

Handful of things I found.

I got two Xbox 360 games; Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year edition, and Titanfall. $10 each.

Haven't played either of them yet, but I'm kinda disappointed that I HAVE to be online to play Titanfall. Wouldn't be an issue, if I had Xbox LIVE Gold.

Except I cancelled my Gold subscription months ago.

Still gonna keep it, since Microsoft is bent on giving users free Gold for a month, every now and then, but still.

[Fragems]

Hit the pawns and found a few things. Got Silent Hill Downpour and Fist of the North Star Ken's Rage 2 on the 360 for $5 each as well as Star Trek Shattered Universe(PS2), Arc The Lad Twilight of the Spirits(PS2), Hunter the Reckoning Redeemer(Xbox), and a Best Buy Exclusive Forza Motorsport Presell(Xbox) Demo for $1 each.

Hadn't seen the Forza Motorsport Presell game before so I'm kind of interested to see what all is on it back says demos/vids for Forza Motorsport. Out Run 2, and Project Gotham Racing 2. It also mentions that the Xbox Live Arcade is included as well, but it's not clear if that came in a separate case or is on disc already have a few versions of it anyways.
