yes, I see the words (joystick and trackball) in the pic. Thanks
-
thanks..I bought one online, although I have seen some with a switch, I am not seeing a switch on this one. It hasnt arrived in the mail yet, but I didnt see in the photos. Are there two versions?

Ok thanks that's what I thought. So the Atari "Trak Ball CX22" vintage accessory is analogue then?

So I recently acquired a vintage Accuball trackball for my 2600, 2600+ and 800xl running a harmony cart. It does not not have a swtich for trackball vs joystick mode. It plays millipede really well, centipede pretty well also. For Missile Command, it plays OK, however its a bit sluggish. I tried the CTRL+T for true trackball mode (I just found out about this concept) and it does not really play at all. I can barely move the target around. It does play on the 2600+ Missile Command which is great, but its also a bit sluggish too. I have not tried Centiped or Millipede on the 2600+ yet Does anyone know if this is expected behavior for this setup and particular trackball? Thanks Frank

thats awesome! If I ever get a cart of RR2, I know where to go!
-
hey, not bad!
-
definitely 70s/80s prog for sure. I have a suspicion the Waichowski bros might have been fans of the artwork as well

Finding some image resources on the internet archive database site and pinterest, and through trial and error, I made my own photoshop versions. They are not exact duplicates, but they get the point across. The prints look great! Can't wait to cut out and paste these bad boys on to my carts!

yes, both have been missing their labels completley for some time now. All good.
-
Yeah, I tried to buy from the seller VintageRepros but that was over a week ago, and he sent me a rather cryptic message saying hes sorry but he was in the hospital, etc..And he hasn't responded again to further follow ups. So I tried to just find somewhere online where there are high quality scans to download and print myself but I cannot find anything. Its truly weird! I know the site you are talking about where it makes the generic 2600 labels (I used it myself years ago), however Im really partial to the BEAMRIDER and HERO artwork, and would love true replicas of those. I was thinking theres GOTTA be someone else other than the seller VintageRepros that is making these labels, but I have not found any. Very puzzling indeed. thanks for your help (this time, I don't mean that sarcastically, hah)
-
Thanks! Youve been very helpful! Have a great day
-
nobody can help out? There is really no repository anywhere online of label images?

Hello, I have scoured the web and even SoulSeek for these...I tried to buy on eBay but the seller is not responding (I guess he was in the hospital?). For whatever reason, I cannot find free labels ANYWHERE online...Would anyone be so gracious as to send me print quality PNGs or JPEGs of the HERO and BEAMRIDER labels for activision 2600 carts? I would really appreciate it. Would be nice to have them spec to size to be ready to print. If not, could someone kindly give me the correct print dimensions for these labels as well? truly grateful, thanks! Frank
