Does any who owns both games for both Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo systems have a preference as to which game is superior for either system, thanks.

Would anyone know of some sites that provide Genesis game instructions like AtariAge does with Atari games?

Rescue on Fractalus - Atari computer Star Raiders - Atari computer Jumpman - Atari computer/C64 Ultimate Wizard - C64 Sonic The Hedgehog Series - Genesis Ultima Series - C64 Pitfall I and II - Atari 2600 Gunstar Heroes - Genesis Classic Text Adventures (Infocom/Scott Adams) - C64/Emulator Super Mario World/All Stars - SNES

Hi, Does anyone have ideas regarding a substitute for the Commodore 1702 monitor? Does anyone even manufacture small monitors with A/V inputs anymore? Thanks!

I've recently been collecting for the Atari XL and am considering starting a collection for the 5200. After reading about the 5200 controller problems I was wondering if anyone here has been using the stock 5200 controllers with all Gold contact pads, and if so, how have they been holding up over time (in other words, how is their reliability)? Thank you.

Does anyone know of a website that provides detailed descriptions of each issue of the magazine from the early-mid 80s issues. Thanks!

Atarimania has many scanned manuals for A8's. Also, for quick downloading, here is my collection of text A8_Game_Manuals.zip. Of course these are for games only. If you need other types of manuals there are places for those too. Enjoy! 951296[/snapback] Thanks guys! Awesome websites :!:

Would anyone know of any sites that provide instruction manuals? Thanks!

I also noticed that there is a MUCH larger library of cartridge based games for the Atari than Commodore (Rescue on Fractalus only comes on disk for the C64 ). With the exception of the text adventure games which I load up on occasion, I generally avoid disk based games these days because of the load times + carts last forever with only a bit of care I agree, each system has their own pluses and minuses. Now I can understand how Star Raiders was the hottest thing in computers/video gaming in the early 80's due to its originality, depth, and playability - and at only 16K :!: It proved 25 years ago that megabytes of memory doesn't necessarily make a good game, innovation does. As a born-again retro-gamer, I think it would be pretty cool if there was a compilation of text adventure games on a cartridge (for example, the Infocom Adventure or Sci-Fi compilation) and just save your place on disk or cassette. Also, i'd love to see Dino Eggs on cartridge for the Atari!

I recently bought a used 800XL with some classic cartridges... One on One Archon I Rescue on Fractalus Star Raiders (awesome!) Pengo Miner 2049er Zone Ranger Centipede Galaxian Qbert and i've noticed that many of the games for the Atari have superior graphics/colors than the Commodore 64 that i've had for many years. I guess it's a give and take where the C64 has superior sound for many games and the Atari has superior graphics for many games. Also, i've read a lot about Star Raiders on this board and finally got the chance to play it (after 20 years) and it's AWESOME! Just like the C64 has it's share of space/adventure games, the Atari has really surprised me and right now i'm addicted to Rescue on Fractalus and Star Raiders! It's the best of both worlds - I love all the classic systems now :!:

Has anyone found that joysticks using the gold contacts have improved reliability or longevity than those using the older contacts - thanks.

Does anyone have a system preference with regard to Rescue on Fractalus? I have a 5200 system that i'm now rediscovering and just order a brand new XEGS computer system. I understand both systems play the game but which is the best one to play it on? Thanks!!
