  1. Bob Roberts, cross-shipping in jeopardy.

    No, I didn't, because in most cases I have payment sent out within a day or two. So I mailed Bob's payment out a week later than usual. That's reason enough to immediately jump the gun and label a customer of several years a 'bad trader'? If so, it's more than enough reason for me to order...
  2. Bob Roberts, cross-shipping in jeopardy.

    More than most people realize :) I started writing for the 2600 Connection newsletter back with issue #2 (1990) and continued with it right up until the last issue in 2009 (#100). I've also done plenty of work with both Digital Press and the Classic Gaming Expo in the past 10 years, not to...
  3. Bob Roberts, cross-shipping in jeopardy.

    I never saw that on his site, and he never mentioned.. and he should have whenever I or anyone placed an order. Cross-shipping it typically done for replacement parts (and you usually get charged for it), not orders. Honestly, does that sort of business practice make any sense whatsoever to...
  4. Bob Roberts, cross-shipping in jeopardy.

    As far as Bob's little list, the whole issue I had with him concerns an unwritten rule of his about not receiving payment within 10 days. I say unwritten because nowhere on his site is this mentioned. I used to order parts from Bob for years, and always paid with a money order. The last time I...

  13. Q about Galaxian -1st game with 100% RGB graphics?

    Berzerk used the famous "bull shit color" board (literally, according to Berzerk hardware designer Tony Miller - http://briandeuel.swift-mail.com/briandeuel.com/tminterview.html ). I suspect Indy 800 (which I forgot about - that came out in 1976!) generated color in a similar way. Regardless of...
  14. Q about Galaxian -1st game with 100% RGB graphics?

    Both KLOV and MAME state that this game was the "first video game released with 100 percent of its graphics displayed in true RGB color". This info isn't mentioned on any flyers that I know of and it's not in the manual, so where did this come from? Also, Galaxian wasn't the first color game...
