Wanted please help: 2600 hook-ups and joystick(s)!

[Grundy]

Hello all. We went to the storage unit this afternoon to paw through some boxes and I located my 2600. (We also found some other 'goodies'...PSX cases and a few games, two Genesis systems,a few NES games, etc..)

 

Anyhow, DOWN side? For the life of me, I couldnt find EITHER of the hook-ups or a single joystick. This sucks beyond words as I recently got three 20th Century Fox games that I have never owned before, and cannot PLAY them...RRRRRR!! I have the cord that comes from the system itself, but need both the AC and the little game/TV switchbox. I had a BOXfull of various joysticks and pads at one time, but hell if I know what became of them. I had heard something about using a Genesis pad on the 2600 because they have the same pins, is this true?

I took the housing off and washed the body in hot soapy water, using a toothbrush to get into the grooves and all, it looks brand NEW now!

 

Anyhow, if anyone can help with hook-ups/sticks, please let me know! Oh...I'd love a set of GOOD paddles as well...Super Breakout is one of my favorite games of all time.

 

Thanks.

The Genesis controllers will definitely work. The "B" button is the fire button. The other two buttons do nothing.

Thanks. So then the D-pad behaves as the joystick, or?

 

Do you happen to have a spare AC or switchbox, or have any leads on where I might grab either?

 

Thanks again...

I definitely have an extra AC adapter, maybe an extra switchbox too. PM sent.
