I think I have an old VHS player lying around somewhere. I'll see if I can run it through that.

Well, a new TV isn't in the cards. And, it works fine with most of the games. I guess I'll have to locate an NTSC game.

Hey folks, First post. Bare with me. Dug out the 2600 after all these years. Some games work and some produce nothing--the latter is for another post. I have noticed that some of the games get the vertical sync/rolling/hold issue when turned on. Some don't. I recently picked up "adventure" (the original cartridge and not the sears artwork) from ebay and it was rolling as well. I'm using a Sharp 27" CRT (yeah, I still have one of those) and the old TV/Computer switch box with the screwtabs-to-RF adaptor, plugged into the RF input on the back of the TV. I run a DVD and WiiU off this screen and nothing else has issues--so naturally I'm focusing on the 2600. The TV has composite, component, and I believe S-video inputs as well. Perhaps a different line in would address this? Then there is a simple question I've not found yet as I have just started browsing your archives: Do the cartridges suffer from age? I thought that age might produce surface issues on the contacts explaining why some of mine won't even fire up. Thanks for the patience. Look forward to hearing back.
