Episode 33 -
In this week's pick up video Atari 2600, Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo get a hold of the majority of my finds. Just in time for next weeks paycheck and big game finds no where else than right here. Enjoy.
Hey everyone. Ive been working on my new video game channel on YouTube for a little while now and wanted to talk a little bit about what you are seeing and can plan on seeing in the weeks and months ahead. Most of my videos are Atari 8 Bit related ( hence the name ). But I also try to include games from other consoles that I collect.
Some of the systems I collect and you may find on the channel include the Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, 8 bit computer line, NES , SNES, Gameboy, Genesis, and any other system that is cartridge based.
Each week I do at least 2 videos.
- One based called "The Gaming Moment Back In Time" which focuses on a game from my collection that either I grew up playing and enjoyed or something Ive added to my collection and has been overall a big hit to play.
- The other video is my Thursday pick up video that covers all the finds Ive picked up from flea markets, garage sales, eBay, and video game forums like this one.
The channel can be found here : http://www.youtube.com/user/atarian83
I hope you all will enjoy these videos and like usual it's a learning process for me. Feel free to subscribe, like, comment or share personal memories of the games featured. Also I'm learning as I go and sometimes make mistakes; feel free to drop a line with comments, suggestions or ideas. The more I can learn and share the more everyone benefits.
Look forward to sharing amazing memories and gaming finds.

This weeks Gaming moment is going to be another one of Parker Brothers' more popular titles Q*BERT.
The rarity of this game isn't too bad and should be rather easy to obtain online but due to the popularity of this title you will be spending $8 to $12 for a copy.
Please subscribe, share, leave comments feedback and memories you might had playing this title on the A8 or any system.
Thanks everyone hope you enjoy this and check out the Thursday Pick Up Video coming up. ( Might get done Wednesday due to work schedule ).
This week I was going to go high tech and do a video game of the week segment. But due to time restraints I wasnt able to get it up and running by this time. I might try to do one and get it up with this blog. Either way I do this each Tuesday so I want to make sure this gets up in time. Either way, on with the show.

I figured this week to do a classic that every one has played at one time or another on some system at some point. PACMAN. From the humble beginings at the arcade to the home console here is a symbol that is recognized anywhere and everywhere.
On the Atari 8 bit this game has 256 levels that you need to figure out and complete. The idea is real simple eat all the pills on each board while avoiding the 4 ghosts that chase after you. Along the way you get 4 power pills you can eat that will turn the ghosts blue. At this point you can eat them. Also along the way you get special bonuses ( Fruit, Keys, and lighting bolts ).
I enjoy this version of the game and can spend hours playing it in either 1 player or 2 player action.
Collectors Note:
There are a few label variations for this cartridge. A black case brown label 400 style label ( CXL 4022 ) and a later re-release on the silver label 800 style ( RX8022 ).
So is the case with the manuals a REV A which shows Pacman running on the cover has a bit more info packed into the manual to the REV B which shows a more computer model of Pacman chasing after pills.
I would say since this cart is easy to find in the population its a worth while title to pick up and play.
Please feel free to let me know what you think of this title and memories from playing this game. Please check me out on my Youtube Channel : Atarian83 and as always on my website www. A8Museum.com
