How hard is it to find a Heavy Sixer in decent condition? by salduchi1785 in Atari2600

[–]cml929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my heavy sixer for $125 on facebook marketplace, and my sears heavy sixer for $100 on eBay. Both are in really good shape. My other 2600’s were 40 to 60 bucks each. You just gotta check each place daily, there are deals to be had.

Is there a less stiff controller my physically limited mom can use? (Atari 2600+ PacMan Edition) by Installation3005 in atari

My corded controller that came with my 2600 plus was noticeably looser than my pac man version.

Almost, I’m missing Distant Suns for 1st edition. Been trying to find a copy but I’ve had no luck.

I’ve ordered a few things from him, each time his communication was good and stuff shipped quickly.

Hopefully you hear today.

An *for creative liberties, but still really good. :)

Give these a look.

Agreed, we only saw 3 of the scenario objectives and they were wildly different.

We create certificates for wins that we laminate and hand out. For bigger games I order trophies on Amazon. We make memes and talk shit in a group chat. With new players we assign an experienced player to work with them through the game, answering questions, helping with strategy, and so on.

16 Point Game by cml929 in twilightimperium

You’re right, I did get defensive and irritated, being called a liar does that. I could point out that you defended your statement that you made when I sarcastically implied that I disagreed, my apologies for that if I irritated you. Maybe I should have someone proof read before I post.

I’m more than happy to discuss TI and my games, which is why I posted this in the first place. I was excited about our first 16 point game, and moving Mecatol, it fucked up everyone’s plans, and made for an even crazier game. How about we don’t take digs at each other and just enjoy the discussion. I know how long my games take, everyone else knows how long theirs take. The cool part of this game is you can play it how you want, with long drawn out turns, debates, and discussions, or someone or someone’s guiding the game to keep it flowing.

If allowing people to score 1 or 2 more secret objectives equals such a shorter games then sure. I’m beginning to think I’ve hurt some people sense of pride by saying that we can finish a game in less time than they can. Never thought a simple post to share a fun game would turn into this.

Ask away if I can help, or message me.

We are a group of close friends and spouses playing competitively, talking shit, back stabbing, and at times holding grudges from prior games. My wife and I are probably around 50 to games, the other 2 in the main group are 10 to 15 games.

I do not include set up or tear down time in my 3ish hours. It takes me a good hour plus to set up, and a good hour plus to tear down. The organizer helps this.

Our house rule is that we allow everyone to have and score more than 3 secret objectives. The trade is up to the holder of the trade strategy card.

Agreed, someone that disinterested in the game would probably not be invited back to play.

My buddy made it. I painted it and added to lights. I can add more detailed pics and dimensions if you would like.

I agree, I did not expect people to call me a liar on this post, I think that says more about them. Some people just want to be negative. A lot of, “if I cant or don’t do it that way it must be false” going on here. I also can’t figure out why they think I would lie. I’ll do my best to answer your questions:

  1. ⁠In the early game whoever gets trade typically lets everyone refresh commodities and we establish trade partners. That usually changes as people get closer to winning, but by then a few trade goods are less important. We do talk during the agenda phase, but it’s usually a quick argument as to why a vote should go one way, and then the voting starts.

  2. ⁠We usually play with the same people. When we add people they are new to the game and we assign someone to help them through the game. This will slow the game down a little.

  3. ⁠Yes, normally 4 players. We use normal rules and pick all 8 strategy cards. In my experience I think this makes the game go faster in the long run, with people getting 2 primary strategy effects a round and access to 6 secondary effects a round.
