Thanks to mclemore and others for creating this section.

(I love the smell of a virgin forum in the morning.)

Let's see some b/w love!
 
I like black and whites and I can not lie...

i like it !

Q: would this section be for repairs, restorations, WTB, FS and anything else bronze aged ?

i feel i need clarickedfrickedcashuns ........
 
I need a fiberglass Space Race. Who wants to part with one. (notice I said NEED...)
I would settle for a Rebound or a Gotcha. :)

BTW, thanks again for creating this forum!
 
I miss my Sprint 2.
I was poor when I sold it, as opposed to being dirt poor now.
Either way I needed money for the Defender that I had bought.
 
I have a Pong Deluxe 4P cocktail.

It's nonworking.

And dirty.

When Gamefixer's out here in <2 weeks, it might just magically spring back to life. Who knows? :rolleyes:

I don't think Asteroids counts, but if it does, I have 5 of them. :D

Oh, and a cabaret Space Zap. Is that a Bronze Age?

Can I get a hells yeah.

One of the local collectors out here also has a cocktail, which I didn't know SZ existed in.

One of the best Bronzes, IMO. Captures the essence of the period well (simple graphics, simple gameplay, but very fun and addictive).
 
Starship 1

I have one of these B/W classic atari monsters..Cabinet is so big on these games but looks so cool ! Fun game...

Any pictures of your Midway Clowns machine? The wife and I are fans of that game. My wife loves anything clowns.....including me. I guess that's why she married me.

I'll get some pics as soon as I can if all of them. Most are I storage.
 
So did we decide that anything B+W is bronze age? Vector or raster?

In the Bronze Age pic thread, I saw a pic of an Asteroids Deluxe with a Monaco GP in the background. One could argue that the Monaco GP is more deserving of Bronze Age status than AD. It is pre-1980, has no CPU, however it does have a color monitor.
 
Monte Carlo

How about this one.

Atari's Monte Carlo says (C) 1979 in the game.

The Manual & KLOV's entry say 1980.

The game can produce B&W Video on a 23" or Color on a 19".

Where ya'll put that at. :D
 
To me, Space Invaders and Asteroids are the turning points.

1978 and earlier = Bronze
1980 and later = Golden

1979 is a crapshoot, depending on whether the game more closely resembles Bronze or Golden.

I'm sure there are debatable cases, but that's basically how I define it. (And I consider SI and Asteroids to be Golden, and the start of that age.)

Let the debate continue...
