thanks m8, your worthy of worship

I found these 2 catalogues in the bottom of my atari box, are these rare?

Hi, I just have one game that I don't know the title of? I used to have all my games labelled on the side because I stored them in a cassette box 'side up' It was labelled up Tank Command (by myself) about 20 years ago, it was bought off a market as all my games were, the label has come off, any help? Ok I can't upload pics on here, it just freezes, so I'll add a photobucket picture instead

I took my atari back to work like I said and got it working by twisting the aerial lead at the back, the one thing I could'nt do is get it working on my Sanyo tv at home, the console was stored with no carts in the slot, I took frostbite apart and cleand the contacts with a rubber and some pure alcohol, still doesn't work, I used to hammer river raid and frostbite but never played enduro the carts that don't work are RIVER RAID - FROSTBITE - PRESSURE COOKER - PITFALL - CHOPPER COMMAND - ENDURO - SPIDERE FIGHTER - STARMASTER

Ok I'm getting nearer to sorting it I took the woody back to work and set it up with my work tv, put it on channel 36 and nothing, I gthen wiggled the aerial plug which goes to the back of the tv and whooo hoo it came on mint, clear picture and sound! had a good game on circus atari So then i brought it home but it still wouldn't work on my home tv? so im just gonna test all the games and bang it on ebay some games have stopped working since storage such as rivver raid and frostbite but I have the remote control joysticks and the romscanner so should get a good price

Ok m8 thats great help, so do I put it on channel 36? and then tune it in using the pot? thanks I'll try that

no, what I did, I tried it on a tv at work and it worked on channel 99 but it was really fuzzy with no sound, but the console played alright, some games worked some didn't, I then brought it home and tried it on my home tv but it won't come on at all on any channel on my home tv? any more help?

Hiya, thanks for your reply, yes I am from the UK, I'll have another messa round with it tonight and get back to you, also some games will not work, I just got fuzzy lines, and some games will only work if I keep plugging and unplugging them and then finally they eventually work? I have frostbite but it just won't come on and that was one of my fave games

Hi guys, how rare is dream flight because I can't find it on the rarity guide or ebay? also has anybody heard of a game called TANK COMMAND because I'm sure thats what it was called but the labels come off

ok i read those other posts and I'm still no wiser, do I just connect the lead from the atari light sixer to the back of the tv aerial socket???? I can't get any picture at all on my tv? I looked for the channel switch underneath but there isn't on, the hole is there but when I took it apart there is no switch? is there anything else I can try? heres a pic of the inside

I don't know how rare they are, but I have a romscanner command center which can house 10 carts, and also 2 remote control (no leads) joysticks

Ok its been 5 years since I played my woody, I got it down from the loft and dusted it off, I plugged the lead from the woody to the aerial socket at the back of the tv but it was really fuzzy and with no sound, I quickly read the FAQ and saw that I might need a rcv, do I really need one of these or have I just got to tune it in to my tv, I tried it on a different tv and went through channels 0 to 100 and couldn't even get anything? thanks guys
