I have an original Atari in a drawer.

Do I get a score for that? :ask:

Actually, I'd rather have money for it. :eddy:

I'm gonna have to try this when I go home today. My Atari 2600 has been gathering dust in my parents' basement for a couple decades now.

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

9390 - Got to the third level!

But I've just seen the top score for that game on retrouprising is 68,690. :shock:

Mind you, I do have the second highest score (was the highest at one point) on there, for Sonic 1 for the Master System. :dance:

If you are lucky enough to own a Supercharger, Atari 2600 games are also available as mp3s.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
