    A cleric of Selune somewhere takes over 9000 times 9000^9000^9000 points damage.

    Apple is sure to follow Atari, they were both made by Steve Jobs

    You have an original 2600 in your room?? Man that's gotta be worth a big bucks, certainly to a collector.

    MOON PATROL Fk Yeah!

    Atari really isn't Atari it is the abomination Infogrames hiding behind the Atari name....that company was such a laughing stock in the industry it started using the Atari brand...and quickly turned that name into a laughing stock as well.

    When I remember Atari,I remember that awesome company that gave us Centipede, Astroids and Robotank.

    I buy fix and sell Cartridge based consoles as a hobby(when I have cash). I have a NES in my room also, I tried to get my hands on a Commodore 64 a few months back at an estate sell but they wanted like $60 and I knew no-one would buy it, in the end it never sold but all the stuff was taken elsewhere and I couldnt buy it.

    I know how to clean it all and fix a good bit of stuff, I can also add LEDs turn off the regional lockouts and more.

    Because I avoid the word like wailing plague and had dealings with a god (ex-devil but now a god) to keep it away from NW - I only read the news now.

    Well, although I kind of feel they deserved it for destroying games, I was hoping on their reformation instead of their destruction - but that Selunite in me speaking ...

    Strange I feel no satisfaction but a regret (or is it pity) for them.

    Yeah, they were great once, long long ago. Then, for whatever reason, they went downhill and never got back up it. I am not suprised and I am glad this daemon may finally be put to rest.

    I remember Neverwinter Nights, I played the bejeezus out of it, and its expansions. I also remember being super excited about NwN2, only to have it see like I'd been cheated when the game was full of bugs and clunks and general oddities...and then there was hope...Daggerdale. Well...that escalated quickly.

    Say what you will about Apple, but that was a pretty epic run by Steve Jobs. The iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPad, etc were all ridiculously successful and ended up being massive trend-setters.

    Yah but every time Steve Jobs ever left one of his companies even for a few months they started to go to Hell-in-a-Handbasket if you know what I mean. When Steve Jobs went to work at Atari, Apple nearly went out of business.
