  1. Recently been playing my light sixer allot again, and since today i noticed that im getting some interference/ snow on screen, I believe its coming from the console since its the same with every game i tested. I made a video to clarify what i mean. Sometimes it dissapears for a minute or so, but it returns each time. What is the cause of this interference and what can i do about it? I do hope my light sixer is not on its way out ? IMG_1974.MOV
  2. Nice! Is the contest sticker on the seal or is it on the actual box?
  3. I clean every cartridge before i plug it in for the first time ,I think that its the contacts that are a bit worn from previous owners. My atari is PAL ,i do have 1 NTSC game and it works fine. I never used a switchbox, mine is plugged right into the TV since its only used to play atari Well its been 4 years since i got him last weekend.... Could explain allot...cant blame him though ,everyone likes to celebrate.
  4. sometimes while playing a game i get the same jitter like you get when pressing the reset button ,its this normal or is it a sign of the system giving up? Id love to know if other people also have this, i would hate to see my 6 switch die... Some games also dont have this at all.
  5. Hey everyone. Im looking for a copy of General re-treat/Westward ho ,the European version of custers revenge. Unboxed would be nice but boxed would be great! So If anyone has one for sale please let me know! Thanks in advance.
  6. After seeing numerous documentary's about the upcoming 3d printers ,i also started to see the possibilities with it. ive seen joysticks where the white base inside of them is broken or got one of the pieces broken off, & I also had one with a rattling noise inside it when i first got it ,after opening it up,i discovered that the small ring thats around the joystick has broken into tiny little pieces. After getting both of these off a relative for free to try out my first ''atari repair" ,I managed to get 1 perfectly functioning joystick. So i started to wonder ,will we soon be able to reproduce our own atari parts with the click of a button? If id ever encounter anything like this again And have no spare base's or controller parts lying around ,it would be pretty easy to just place a file in a printer and wait a couple of hours. So what do you think? will all this soon be possible without leaving the comfort of your game room?
  7. i bought a box of atari games at a garage sale today, and the game was in it. at first i thought it was the standard 32 in 1 released by atari but when i noticed the switches on the front i knew it was a completly different game.
  8. I recently found a cartdridge containg 32 games, Ive tried to find more information about it but i cant seem to find anything about it. So id like to ask you if you happen to know more about it. The game says made in taiwan on the back,and thats all information i found. I do believe that its from the same producer that made the 160 in 1 game.
