BigO

I had actually pulled the CPUs and RAM and boxed it up for somebody online who expressed interest before I dropped off the case for recycling. The aforementioned interested party subsequently went dark. If you're interested enough, you can find some PIII XEONs in a landfill. So I've heard.

It's a VGA PC monitor and I'm pretty much done with hoarding old PC stuff. I do have a 19" Trinitron TV that I'm keeping around for the old game consoles. My daily driver TV for old consoles is a 32" CRT. I wish it was a Trinitron but my back is too old to tote one of those up and/or down stairs now. I carried the monster 32" (at least 700 lbs I'm sure) up myself 10 years ago. I may have to just drag it out on the deck and ]push it off when it dies. Of various sizes, I have at least half a dozen CRT TVs stashed around just in case. On 2600 I like Circus and Kaboom. Digital TVs just have too much lag to play those paddle twitch games on.

Last chance.

I was never a monitor geek so I don't know how to answer that. I bought it because it was cheap, new, in shop-worn packaging from a surplus business down the street from where I worked. It was a great monitor except I could never unsee the two horizontal lines that are apparently characteristic of a Trinitron. It's been sitting for years and i now need the extra shelf space to store a new tool i recently bought. I recall that it did go to a pretty high resolution but don't know that I ever had a video card that would take it to its max performance. I assume that your horizontal scan rate question would be answered by a specific resolution and refresh rate combination.

Anyone?

I ended up donating mine to a well known Atari-centric YouTube+Twitch channel.

Local pickup only @ north central Phoenix, AZ, or might be talked into meeting near-ish ASU. In good cosmetic condition beneath the dust. Worked when put on the shelf x years ago. I can still test if anybody is seriously interested.

I think if there were a fixed, standard value that made everything right then there would not be a variable resistor in the circuit.

Thank you for the feedback. I'm pretty sure I paid less than $10 back when I got mine. Inflation is a killer. ? I don't have any tapes or a tape player. When I used it I played sound files either through a portable CD player or an MP3 player. I found that the MP3 player worked best as it had "tone control". (Got more successful game loads with more treble.) I doubt any OS would now support that goofy little media player now. Today, my Supercharger started its journey to a new home where it will provide more value than it was providing here. I might even get to see it one more time.

I'm simultaneously and equally hoping and fearing that the artist will show up here and explain this drawing.

Interesting. I wonder if there are any must-collect-every-variant maniacs like there are for the 2600. I'd give this one up pretty cheap as the back side of the cartridge is cracked and the plastic in the cracked area displaced, like maybe it got stepped on at some point. I suppose I should test it.

I have a Starpath Supercharger that I haven't played with in eons. Been there, done that, don't really care if I own one any more. Ebay prices (sold listings) are all over the place. What do you guys think would be a fair price? I also have a "Stella Gets a New Brain" ver 2 that I bought like 15 years ago. I'd certainly have no use for the CD without the Supercharger. No recent sales come up, but the unsold ones seem to be unsold for a reason. I'd definitely sell mine for the $175 or $225 starting prices of the current O.B.O. listings. They don't seem to be selling like hotcakes at those prices. I don't buy or sell very much these days. Is there a better reference site or non-insane pricing guide?

Still no clue here. I thought someone familiar with the game might identify it as an element of the game. Dare we try a Google image search?

Played Acrobats for a while. It wasn't terrible. Had I not already experienced Circus with a paddle, I could see it being a favorite. My joystick is a bit clunky. That long throw without a distinct, detectable switch actuation kinda lacks. I may bust out and adapt an arcade controller with microswitches and see if my experience improves. Haven't tried KC or Pete yet. I'm not big on platformers and I think I seem to recall PAP being one.

Agreed. The sophisticated nature of the commentary expertly layered into the original ephemera is at first not apparent, owed largely to the crude instrument employed to effect the overlay methodology employed by the as yet unknown pundit. Thorough exegesis and decoding of the knowledge and wisdom presently held captive in this newly discovered work will likely take decades. Deeper analysis will undoubtedly uncover a foundation upon which future society will become inexorably, inextricably anchored. You know, like Wyld Stallyns.

Not the greatest image captures ever. But it's the best I could do with a few minutes, an aging cell phone, a piece of glass salvaged from a dumpster dive multi-function printer, and cobbled together yet-to-be-diffused LED array lighting on my IKEA table/workbench.
