Goodwill Awesomeness!
dethstryke \| 1:39 PM on 05.18.2008	6 comments

I think I've said it before, but I work at Goodwill, and like Dyson, I find some cool stuff on occasion. (but not as awesome as he finds)

I went to Goodwill on Saturday and was browsing the electronics, when I noticed a bunch of Atari 2600 games! Games I didn't own!!!! So I snapped up Superman, River Raid, Adventure, Joust, Donkey Kong Jr. and a Star Command controller with the overlay! Now that I have 2 touch pad controllers, I can tool around with BASIC PROGRAMMING! And...I guess I can now play Star Command and know what to do. LOL

I set them aside and I'm paying for them on Monday. I'm excited. Now I really need to add a cartrige slot to my Atari Flashback2, so I can play on my new HDTV. (I don't know how to do electronic work though...anyone that knows how to add the cart slot to the flashback and wants to help, tell me!!!)

BONUS FIND!!!!
This made me laugh and cry at the same time. 9/13 of these apply to me. ;_;

(The too many buttons, dating Ms. Pac-Man, the game crash and hooking Atari 2600 up to hdtv don't apply to me)
