Gravitar at Goodwill for sale

Thats a super nice game..

yah sadly most "charities" pretty much spend most of what they make to pay bloated salaries for executives and waste money on other things like excessive advertising.

Gotta be careful who you give money to.

When I lived in NYC I never donated anything I would just walk up to homeless people and give them stuff. At least I knew the right people were benefiting.

I pretty much just give to St. Jude's and Levine's children's hospital in Charlotte... I keep going into my local goodwill hoping to find a CRT... despite realizing several years ago that it ain't going to happen...
 
I've got some decent scores at Goodwill, but the pickings are very slim these days. Best I've found in recent memory is a 2600 Big Bird prototype cart for $2.

I know this is a command string for the Commodore 1541 floppy disk drive but I can't remember for the life of me what it does. God I loved the C64. Still do. I'm gonna set mine up this weekend; I've procrastinated on that long enough.

I have rethought my position on Gravitar. I used to hate it but now I just recognize that I suck at the five button control scheme that I don't like. I do think Gravitar is possibly the most impressively programmed vector game ever, though. It is seriously complex and beautiful to look at.

I was always terrible at the 5 button control scheme, but adding Gravitar to my collection made me better and enjoy it a lot more than any other game, changed my asteroids/deluxe, space fury, etc game a lot
 
Likely will relist or just have it in-store. I'm surprised there were no bids. That thing looks pristine.
