Just a quick holiday wish for those that are still monitoring the group.

Keep hunting, and may your stockings not be filled with 2600 ET/Pacman.

Curse you, too. <j/k>

Hope all goes well for you, also, and may Bira-Bira guide your way.

You did. I misread. My apologies.

And now, I am starting to see people who think those games are indeed
rare for that reason.

No worries. Get anything good for x-mas? I got an ION iCade unit -
decent joystick, and real arcade buttons in a mini arcade cab that my
iPad slides into. Atari Greatest Hits rocks on this. Not quite like the
real thing, but pretty good.

I got the family an xBox w/Kinnect. Daughter wanted Disneyland K. I've
already downloaded a few classics from xB arcade. Son already destroyed
headset and is now grounded from it for a few days. Sheesh.

And on the whole, I haven't figured it out. Not like the real classics.
You can't just plug in a game and turn it on. I keep having to look
things up in the inadequate docs and on the internet. The Wii is much
closer to the classic user interface, fairly straight forward. This
one, well like my Macs vs PCs, I can tell this thing is Microsoft. It
has that clumsy feel about. I wonder if ps/3 is easier?
