So I got an old 7-up can off eBay. It's kind of dirty, and was wondering if there was any way to clean it. Don't worry, I didn't pay a lot for it. The shipping was more than the can. I'm still waiting for my other package to arrive: Princess Rescue for the 2600! There will be a new issue of the 2600 Scene coming up here soon, the June...

I spent all friggin day working on getting the jumping in level 6 just right. I tried various things, including threatening the computer. Finally things in level 6 went my way. I had to make weird code in order for it to work, though. Level 6 is a lot like Blinky Goes Up where you will keep jumping up and up until you reach the top. Working on the compute...
So I finally made the leap and made Plim 32k. I figured the game wasn't long enough with only 5 levels. So now with 7 banks, I hope to at least get to level 10, that is, if I can think of 4 more levels! I said 7 banks because I figure by the time it's all done, bank 8 will be filled with nothing but player0, 1 and playfield info (There's a...
I've decided that I'm going ahead with this anyway. if I needed to learn how to solder in order to make it, then now would be the time. It looks like I need to learn also a fair bit about electronics, also, including how to read the map thingy. I just have one more question. How would I test my propeller game? Would I test it on a real Microvision...
Racecar is the first title for the 2600 that is a palindrome (as far as I know.) This is just a side project since I got bored working with Plim. I think it's nice to have two projects going at the same time so if you get bored on one, you can go work on the other one. Not only does it keep you from going totally insane, it also keeps up your coding s...
Hello. Today I got three GBC games. They are GEX 3 Deep Pocket Gecko, Croc 2, and Nicktoons Racing. I spent $18.85 on the trio. Most of their Game Boy Color games I saw are $6.95. They didn't have very many games I wanted, though. None of the more popular titles like Zelda or anything (not that I would buy Zelda). So the three I got were con...
So I tried to record just the audio of a side of a record. At the end, I pressed stop, rewound the tape a little bit and pressed play. No sound, just a static-y black picture. How disappointing. I also worked on Plim and gave level 4 an ending and a hint on what level 5 is. What is level 5? Go to the Plim topic in the bB forums and download version 26 to...
So a while back, I stupidly and accidentally (and unknowingly) ruined the cord that goes from my record player to the computer. Turns out it was a weird cord that wasn't the usual USB cable wire. So I put my record player in storage. I got to thinking about the HTDA vinyl record I bought three (!) years ago. So I got my record player out of storag...
I wanted to stop at Arctic Circle's Salem location after my visit to the doctor, but found out they had closed it! Anyway, got a blood test, had to poke twice, couldn't get anything out of my right hand, so they got the left. And even then it was slow. But my left hand doesn't hurt. My right one still does a little. I just got home. If I s...
I bought a used PS2 slim. I had a little trouble turning the thing off. It just kept resetting because the reset button is the same as the power button. Now I need some (non-sucky) games and/or recommendations. I have Pac-Man World 3. The game is stupid, but it has the original Pac-Man on it.
