Muzzleloader season for deer ended a few days ago, and anyone who has ever shot a muzzleloader knows one thing, the only way to unload it is to shoot it.  So I had to "unload" it before I could clean it and put it away until next year. Unlike my dad who just shot a log, I did something a little more interesting involving an Atari 2600 game. It was either Pac-Man or E.T. both games that are generally hated.  Since I've already sealed up an ET cart in the wall when we remodeled the bathroom, I figured it was time for Pac-man to get the spotlight. 

So, I took the game outside propped it up against a big ol' log and shot it.  I was actually surprised I hit it.  Amazingly, the bullet went right through without doing much damage, I missed the board inside, so this thing will probably still work, once it dries, I'll try it out.

So, in conclusion;

I just tested it out and it wouldn't work. Once I realized the Atari wasn't plugged in Roll Eyes it worked perfect.  The game still sucks, but it looks really weird seeing through a game while playing it.

This thread is possibly the greatest thing I've seen on this site.

You have done a service to humanity. I applaud you.

However, I don't applaud your mistreatment of ET. Smiley

Awesome thread, we should keep this going. Any destroyed gaming rigs or games be posted here. Smiley

Here's what happened to a gaming PC with Intel inside about 8-9 years ago. We used 12 gauge buckshot, and 20 gauge magnums:

No AMD or ATI products were harmed while documenting this momentous and joyous occasion.

I have broken controller while playing games and snapped one CD game but thats it game related.

I did break one of my old PC's after I replaced it. Oh and I destroyed a printer. Damn I hated that printer.

Those magnets are pretty sweet. It's amazing how powerful such a small magnet can be. I've got a few of them, but I'm always looking for old PCs in the trash so I an get more.

I almost killed my Twin Famicom a week ago by accidentally plugging in a power supply of the wrong polarity. Luckily it was only a capacitor that blew, which I plan to replace soon.

I'm thinking about buying a CIB one and posting the pics here when it's destroyed. It's worth a couple hundred to do that easy.  Wink
