  1. Judging by that photograph of Doom you attached, I'd say the first thing for the Jag you need to invest in is at least a composite cable, if not S-video. That RF picture just doesn't cut it if you really want to enjoy the Jaguar. Of course, since your a long time Atari fan, it's probable that you have an ST RGB monitor, in which case a custom Jag RGB cable can be made or bought for the best possible picture, if you don't mind the small screen. I use S-video and RGB (on an SC1224 13") and it's always a tough decision if I want to play it in S-video on my 32" TV in my Lazyboy, or on my monitor with the incredible picture, but less comfortably at a desktop. Yeah your right. its not as bad as it seems seeing how the camera took the image but it definitley could be alot better. I hate rf boxes but thats all it came with. I have a 32 sony wega and a mitsubishi 46, both with s-video and composite so i can go with either connection. I'll definitly be picking a cable up for this. Unfortunately, the only monitors i have are my 2 1702 monitors for my commodores. How much would an s-video cablr for the jag run these days?
  2. if i get this program, how do i register it?
  3. http://members.fortunecity.com/aking1/tapes.html Go here, then scroll down for the list. He has season one and two. i wanted to send you some of the videos i have of it on here but i don't knoe how to transfer the files. Their in .flv format and i need to convert them as well. It was good to see them again as i hadn't seen them since they were new out. I used to watch it everyday.
  4. i have the video power episodes from youtube but the quality sucks on them too. its ok but i'd rather have the real thing. i have a guy thats gonna sell me the vhs with all of them on it for 15.
  5. i have the youtube episodes too but i dont have a full version program to convert them
  6. does anyone know a good source or where i could get the vhs volumes of the old show back around i think 91 with host J.D. Roth?
  7. I had a feeling it wasn't the greatest thing in the world but figured i'd throw one in my collection anyway since i have Wargames and The Wizard and The Last Starfighter original vhs
  8. Has anyone seen "Joysticks" from 1983? I've never had the chance to see it. only the trailer and i've always wanted a copy of it on VHS but can't find one. Any ideas?
  9. How can you tell what rev. Your flashback 2 is and what is the difference?
  10. Just curious what is a heavy sixer joystick (sans disc) and do you have a picture of it?
  11. Very nice. How much did the whole spread cost you, if you don't mind telling us? Just curious if you got a good deal on it or if it was "regular price." $229.99. Not sure if that was actually a steal but i thought it was pretty good. I see the jag CD players are a little hard to come by.
  12. Just got me Atari Jaguar with the Jag CD player both complete in original boxes. Back when they first came out, we had a game shop back in Arkansas called GameMart. I got to try one out there but at the time and for the price, it just wasn't me. i had a chance at one time to get one from a friend but i still wasn't interested. as the years have passed, i've seen the popularity of the Jag rise with all the collectors out there. Especially the Jag CD. I figured being a collector myself and being a big fan of Atari since the 80's, i figured, what the heck. i'd better get one while i can. I really am impressed with this machine. It's just a shame it didn't do better than it did. I have another sealed Jaguar coming that i'm going to keep put up on display and i'm looking forward to getting Black Ice White Noise. Right now i'm playing Doom. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what good games to look for, especially the collectible ones? I've posted a pic of my Jaguar set here.
  13. Thanks to all those that helped me in a previous post. I had mentioned that my 5200, which i had bought off ebay mint in box and complete, wasnt working. The problem was, when turned on, the sound was normal but the video was bad. There were objects and characters such as letters, dollar signs and numbers in places where they werent supposed to be. A few people mentioned it could be the GTIA or the Antic chip. Best Electronics even suggested it could be the 6502 CPU. They said if i ordered all three chips, i would have a 95% probability of correcting the problem. The other day i got lucky and found these chips and started swapping out till i found the right one. Turns out, it was the CO12296 Antic. Everything is running normal now. Again, thanks to all those that helped.
  14. Does anyone know where icould get a board for a zookeeper and is it the same as the Qix hardware? If i get a qix board, could i use it and what would i have to change to get it to play zookeeper? Ican't find a zookeeper board anywhere.
  15. Hey I'm in Philly too. Looks like I got me a FB2 connection! If i do get a seconf one, i'll definitly get it from you. Unfortunately, money is tight right now just starting my new job this week. My collection is bigger than my wallet.
  16. I'm in the process of restoring a zookeeper and i need a lil help. Does anyone have pics or know where i can get pics of the inside of the cabinet. I'm not sure exactly where evrything goes or how its supposed to be laid out. It was converted into something else. Just trying to find out whats missing and where it all goes.
  17. See your selling them for 30 on ebay too. plus with shipping would be more than what i paid. Now if you sell at 20 plus shipping, thats still going to put it close to 30. maybe 25 plus i'd have to wait. Are they in their original boxes?
  18. I think you mean 200 Flashbacks, not the Flashback 2's. The Flashbacks are on closeout all over. I agree. u must be talking about the first ones. if they are 2's, how did u get them and what are u asking for them? i only paid 30 because i didnt want topay shipping and have to sit and wait for it. Plus it was sitting right there unopened and it was the last one. from what i understand, the 2 is more poular and nobody really wants the 1.
  19. Yeah i kinda figured there would be cheaper places but i have trouble getting around usually and it was there so i said heck, now's the time. save me from having to order it on ebay, pay shipping charges and then wait for it to arrive. I seen one earlier today on ebay that was being bid on up to $51
  20. Finally got my flashback 2 today. Got it at Game crazy for $30. Is that a good deal??
  21. Do you think it is a major fault,or one i can live with....thanks http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Space-Invaders-Arca...1QQcmdZViewItem Probably nothing major. looks like it would be worth it. heck if it ever got any worse, u could always have someone that knows what they're doing check it out. definitly be worth saving.
  22. i'd like to know the answer to that question, myself. even for other systems as well.
