I use a Starpath Supercharger to load roms from my computer directly into the 2600. I use a program called makewav to turn the .bin files into .wav files, then plug the supercharger into my headphone jack, and play the sound. It's probably the next best thing to burning your own cartridges, but unfortunately, it has problems with some ROMs. I don't know if this is even close to what your looking for, or you may have already known, but I figured I'd pass the info on anyway.

Well, I love my 3DO, but I dont' know if that's considered a classic by most (it is by me). If I had to pick other than that, I'd say my Intellivision. Maybe it's just because I own the most games for that system (75+), lots are doubles though...

I'd have to say that Stampede is next to worthless.

The way I see it, a system is a classic if the company that owns the console no longer produces it, and the system still warrants a purchase, and is still worthy of play. So I can consider my TG16, Jag, 3DO, etc. classics; whereas I don't consider my, oh... 32x (I know its an addon, but it's late, and I can't think) to be a classic. I instead consider my 32x to be a collectible, which sits and collects dust, but I won't sell it. It's almost to the point where I can consider my Dreamcast a classic. Sega not producing consoles... sad, sad times we live in. Anyway, I digress... As for the SMS and NES, I agree that they go in the same generation as the 7800. Afterall, same time period, even if they were technologically superior.

I have to admit, I never played Panzer Dragoon or Burning Rangers, but I HATE Nights into Dreams. I fail to see what was so great about it. DAYYYY-TO-NAAAAAAAA!!!!

I am holding Dragon's Lair for Atari-Jess. Baldies is still up for sale. If someone wishes to reserve baldies, I need to get an email sent to me, as I do not check the message board often enough to reserve it that way. Thanks for your interest. As for shipping to the UK? I don't know... I'm in Michigan, and I'll ship either standard mail or USPS. Your choice since you'll be paying for it. I'll try and get some shipping prices up soon.

Come on! You can't beat 5 bucks! Think, you could either spend that $5 on a cheeseburger and some fries, or you could have a shiny new game to play with! How could you possibly go wrong with a deal like that? If you don't have one of these games, now's the perfect time to pick them up! 5 a piece! Come on! Your mom wants you to buy these games!

Well, call me whatever you like, but I couldn't bring myself to call any of my Atari systems worse than the other. I love 'em all the same. As for the worst system ever? I can't believe no one mentioned the Sega Saturn. That god damned thing is only good for a doorstop. You can't even prop your tv up on it, since the top's not flat (besides, that's what the Mac Classic is for ).

<--Look over there! My avatar's back!! Thanks!

I've been meaning to upload a custom avatar for myself, but that's not the problem. What happened to my Atari 2600 Pitfall Harry icon?!? Now there's just 2 of the "Pitfall Harry Sillouettes." I miss my blocky 2600 Harry already...

No, I believe you misread. I'm selling Dragon's Lair, not Dragonfire. Dragon's Lair is the Don Bluth classic interactive FMV. Baldies (from what I understand) is a citybuilding/management game. Something like Tropico, I think. If anyone has any better descriptions of these games, feel free to post!

Oh come on!! You know you want 'em!

I've used many different controllers on many different consoles, and I'd have to say the Jag's are my favorite. I've never used a controller that fit my hand so perfectly. The only other controller that comes close to it is the Dreamcast controllers, and those are a very distant second. Unfortunately, the Jaguar controller is the only Atari controller I've ever been happy with. Oh well, I suppose it just took them awhile to get it right.

Where can I get composite cables for the Jag? I didn't even know they existed, but that doesn't mean anything, since I'm pretty new with the Jag. I think part of my problem may be my TV too. Maybe I should stop buying so many consoles and invest in a new TV.

Does anyone have anyt info about boosting the sound on the Jag? It's just so damn quiet. In games like Flashback, I can barely hear the game over the sound of my TV speaker screeching (I have a very crummy TV). I've been looking for a catbox, since I know it did something like that, but those are realy hard to find from what I hear. Thanks!!
