Greetings friends! One competition not enough for you? There's also a competition over on the Atariage Facebook Group! It's the 2600 High Score Showdown! We play a new game every week for most of the year. Season 8 started last week. Original hardware or emulation allowed, just no save states or cheats. Currently we are playing Crackpots. Click here for this week's game or message me for more info! https://m.facebook.com/groups/atariage/permalink/10160915375000255/?mibextid=Nif5oz

Trying to play this game. Can't seem to figure out the absorb stages. The manual suggests pressing fire does something, but it does not appear to for me. Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

Anyone besides me manage to 99999 this one yet? Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

So the power switch on my light sixer was getting a little fiddly and I waited way too long to fix it. My Harmony stopped working after the most recent accidental bout of intermittent power. Is this something that can permanently damage a Harmony cart? I went to try and reflash it but the program utility did not recognize my Harmony cart when it is plugged into the computer. I may have the wrong cable though also; any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Most likely. Sea Battle is a port of a pretty complicated Intellivision game, so I wouldn't be at all shocked if it's the same issue as He-man Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

Before we get too into the weeds... have you looked up the manuals online and figured out how you're supposed to start the game? Or have you at least tried the game reset switch, which is how a large number of 2600 games are started? Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

Midway only ever obtained distribution rights to the arcade version, and they were purely an arcade company at that time anyway, so there wasn't anything amiss at all with Atari getting the console rights. EDIT: in fact, Midway had to license their own arcade games to other manufacturers, first CBS, then Sega, to get them released on consoles... that's how NOT a console company they were then Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

I'm not quite sure how I made it happen, but basically I found myself in a position where I could just stand in one spot and constantly shoot and I don't die and the bad guys just kept running into my bullets. So I just sat there with my finger on the button for 3 hours and rolled the score Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

I haven't played Dog Patch, or the Astrocade at all, but based on your description it must be much better than Skeet Shoot Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Infiltrate could have been good, but thanks to the poor programming all you need to do is get it stuck in an infinite loop Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

No, but I'm willing to hear your argument. What Apollo games do you think are good? Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Technically true, though it doubles as a difficulty setting too considering the lasers use 10x energy than the torpedoes.

Wow. You deliberately mistreat the product and then blame the manufacturer for it breaking? Is this really the world we're living in? BTW third party has little to do with it. First-party 2600 controllers aren't exactly known to be tanks lol Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
