  1. So I've wanted one of these for years and never got around to getting one. As a kid in the 70's, I had baseball and the Tiger Raceway version of this. Both of which I re-bought when Ebay hit the scene 20 years ago. Today, these mattel games still only go for around 20 bucks EXCEPT for auto race. They are going over $60. So I bought one in "Not Working" condition, figuring I can fix it. First thing I did was turn that adjusting pot. It woke up and ran great on batteries. But it still didn't work with an AC power pack. I cranked up that pot to the limit. Now the AC port works, but it's WAY too fast on battery. So fast, you can't play it. I tried replacing the electrolytic capacitor, but it made no difference. For the life of me, I can't figure out why it won't run the same regardless of power supply. The wall wart I'm using works fine for my other 9v games.
  2. Hey guys. Is there a functional final version of this for Stella? When I download the main link in the first post, I get a non-functional version of the original game. If I download the portable version, it looks great. But only the middle cannon works. Thanks.
  3. Hi Guys. I have this Scramble ROM and the ROM for SuperCobra Arcade. SuperCobra Arcade fires the same way the vintage Parker Brother cartridge did. Bombs and bullets alternating from one button, the only button the CX40 would have. But I'm using a Logitech wireless controller with extra buttons. On Scamble, two buttons are needed to fire bombs and bullets. How would this work using a Harmony or Concerto cart and a cx40 with only one button?
  4. I've been following this thread for years. I guess this project is dead?
  5. I don't know if you got your coupon yet. But if you ask a manager nicely at the service desk they will comp you a coupon. They punch in their code in the register, and it prints a 20% off single item coupon on a register tape. Then then you go to the cashier with it.
  6. Hi Guys. I finally found one last unit tonight in a Bed Bath And Beyond. Over the past week or so, Ive been in a bunch of stores. They're always sold out. So I got the only unit I could find. The display and sound on mine seem weird. The display has an annoying polarized effect when looking dead on. If I hold it slightly to the left or right the screen looks good. But looking straight on, it hurts my eyes. The sound is good and loud but makes a humming noise an other noises, like ther's a short or something. Sometimes it clicks and clacks like there's a hard drive in there. Are they all like this, or did I get a beat one? Other than that, it seems great. The controls and buttons are precise. It has a quality feel to it. I read some complaints about the sound being cheap or tinny. Aside from the hum and clicks. To me, it sounds as good as my NDS.
  7. Is there a final, or latest version ROM of this? Looks good.
  8. I got the rom somewhere, but it's one of those game that the happenings on the screen seem kinda random. I'm not ready to dismiss it as just another crappy, barely playable game yet.
  9. Is there a manual for this game floating around? I see pictures around the web of the cover but no scans or even text anywhere.
  10. If they weren't in such a rush to market with so much garbage, it's amazing what could have been with the 2600 back in the day. With games like this and Space Rocks, and that other Mars game, there's no reason why Atari couldn't have competed with later consoles.
  11. Hi Guys. I have no idea where to ask this question. When I go to my profile, how do I read my older posts? I don't see any setting in user control panel/dashboard. The way its set now, I only see about a year of posts. Thanks, Rocco.
  12. Can I have a link to the final ROM for Astro Blaster? Is it post #320? Thanks
  13. All new. never played by human hands....Nice. The other day I bought a boxed stick on ebay. It was in the last packaging atari used, silver with the red band across it. The seller assured me it was unused, and tht's how he had it listed "Vintage, Never Used". He had (0) feedback. I figured I'd take a gamble, being that Ebay now issues refunds practically no questions asked. I'm hoping it's at least the controller that belongs in the box, and it has the revised inner stick. It was only $24 with the shipping. If it's not what he says it is, I'll get a refund anyway. How do you start an Ebay business on zero feedback? For the first 250 items or so, you'll have low bidding resulting in low sale prices, or you have to give your stuff away on BuyItNow. We started an Amazon businss last year. Feedback really didn't apply to us, we went the FBA route. Almost anytime we get a bad feedback Amazon will reverse it, because they handle ordering, shipping and customer service. They also inspect our items before they're entered to inventory. 9 times out of 10, our poor FB is a postal problem, customer didn't read discripton, ordered wrong item and is pissed. or is trying to scam something.
