Dammit, why is all the good stuff so far away- isn't anybody else in CA, OR, or NV?

The Atari/Kee Tank games did a couple thousand units. I am fairly sure that OregonPacman on klov.com either has one now, or used to have one.

The thing about black and white games is that most of them are just GONE. I currently own non-vector black and white games and only one of them actually works (Stunt Cycle works, Maze, both Sprints, Atari Basketball, and Super Space Stranger are all non-working, as was my other Sprint and my old "Snake" game that I have since forgotten the name of. The thing about these black and white games is the boards and the power supplies, as those monitors are dead reliable. I have NEVER owned a black and white monitor that didn't work.

Have a 2600, but no Combat. Actually, I have the Sears branded version of the 2600, and that came with Air Sea Battle.

Back to B/W games and discrete logic etc. - these should be emulatable. Simulating discrete logic is pretty easy, especially if the thing is well clocked. I really want Death Race--used to play that lot. Maybe I should start working on MAME. I guess the real issue is getting the original schematic.

I just got home from Vermont... had to take the wife to Stowe for an overnight (with my mother watching the kids) so it would all go down.

I have the game in my station wagon.  It's in REMARKABLY good condition.  It's completely intact, no water damage at all, it's very dusty but even the artwork is completely intact.  In fact, some basic cleaning and new T molding and it will be in excellent shape.  I haven't tried to power it up yet, but everything inside also looked in excellent condition except for some rust on the power supply and it probably needs a new power cord since the plug is decayed to the point that I wouldn't trust it enough to walk away from it while powered.

Pics are forthcoming when I have the chance.
