Classic Gamer! Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

jeffgamer: The spot is an unusual one that I thought begged for a geocache. There's an alternative spot in the same area for an unusual magnetic nano on a signpost nobody would think would be back THERE. And I LOVE the container I used for this one.

Buuuut.....

More than once since this one was hidden, people have complained about bad smells from nearby. And twice, dead animals have made their way back there...and PEWWWWWWW!

Given the choice to replace with a similar container or let this one go, I've landed on "let this one go." 😩

Thank you to all who have found it since it was hidden!

Geocache Description:


Why did I choose "JeffGamer" as my pseudonym, you ask?  Because, since 6th grade, I've been a video game collector, of course!  From around 1978 through 2012, I was collecting games for dozens of systems.  While the more modern systems are obviously far more sophisticated, for me, there's nothing like the Classics -- Colecovision, Intellivision, Odyssey, Vectrex, Bally Astrocade, Microvision...even Pong...ahhhhh, the memories!  And the one that started it all for me was the Atari.  They released a lot of Atari systems -- the 5200, the 7800, the Lynx, the Jaguar, the 400, the 800 -- though nothing beat the Atari 2600!

This geocache pays tribute to the Classic Games...heck, add a zero and the west coordinates even match an Atari system; subtract 4 and the north coordinates do the same!  Before you grab the cache, go check out the nearby store front at the coordinates in the "additional waypoints"...you'll not only find a cool place to visit (owned by someone who has one of the largest collections of classic and modern arcade games and pinball machines in the world) but you'll ALSO find a clue -- a PICTURE -- of what you're seeking!  Then head on down the street and try your luck in this real-world Jungle Hunt!  Just watch out for the Pitfalls surrounding you...!
