Kaboom! was a wash.  I've never been good that this game.  This is the best I can do with the paddle controller.  I'll try it again on the PS2 Activision collection later, but I don't have any ambitions that I will magically get better.

banana, the only person to request a title from the first week is Addicted - I'll be sending him Kaboom!. The rest didn't have any requests for Pitfall! or Kaboom!

Weekend was a wash. Envelopes with carts are being sent out this afternoon, as I need to send out my mortgage payment anyways (and yes, it's late).

No worries Shadow, I am trying to work something out to help keep everyone who hasn't started playing yet "alive" in the competition. Thanks for offering up the carts to everyone.

I fired up my Atari 2600 last night to play some Kaboom and Pitfall, only to discover that the button on all of my controllers was not working.  After doing some searching on the internet, it seems that it's a problem with the controller port on the Atari itself.  Oh well, I might try to hunt down one of those PS2 collections or something, but otherwise I might be sitting this one out.  Sad

Sent out a copy of Enduro to douglie, and Enduro and Kaboom to Addicted. I think I've got some more carts at home I need to go through, but those were the only ones people requested that I ended up having in the box. I've got a ton of other Activision carts - just not those.

Yeah, PS2 and PSX have collections/anthologies. Try and pick up one if you can. Usually pretty easy to find and under $5.

There's also the Game Room on Xbox 360, if you want to purchase games towards the gamerscore on that.

@Shadow: Thanks! Let me know how much it cost you. I haven't had a chance to start the games yet. I've been working a lot and had to cancel a vacation day just to keep up.

Know the feeling. We're gearing up for production/Alpha, I'm working to evict my roommates (they've gotten the notice), and now everyone suddenly wants me to have a life. I'll look through the rest of my titles in my collection and see if there's stuff I'm not interested in keeping due to quality or very minor label variations.

I agree.  I've played Pitfall! using a total of 6 different controllers (Dual Shock 2, Logitech Dual Action, Original A2600, A2600 from Flashback 3, Genesis 3-button, and Genesis 6-button) and can only seem to use two with any sort of success: Logitech Dual Action and Genesis 6-button, with the latter being my fav.  Hey, at least you've done better than my Kaboom! score.  Man, that was just embarassing  Sad
