Oh no it's not arcade perfect.

The controls seem to be pretty sensitive too but I assume I'll get used to that as well. The controllers are actually better than a stock one for games like Pole Position as they're more precise.

I'd never played the 5200 version until last night. The thing that really makes it for me is the voice. I hadn't realized any of the 5200 games actually had any speech in them. I always thought Berzerk for the 2600 was kind of lame so I didn't bother with the 5200 version.

How hard is it to push the keypad buttons?

I played it over Thanksgiving. It's a decent party game. I was quite disappointed with the fencing and the skeet shooting is pretty hard but the field events were fun. I didn't get to play any of the gymnastics stuff. One thing I found rather cool is you can actually have teams for relay events with fouls for handing off out of the hand off zone.....etc.

I got a CC2 and 5200 multicart. Those two purchases pretty much guaranteed I couldn't keep up. lol

Call of Juarez for the PC

Realsports Baseball for the 2600. You have a base runner on third. You start him towards home during the pitch. If the batter hits the ball he is immediately warped to first base when the runnner crosses the plate. So I'd try timing it so the runner would cross home plate right after the batter hit the ball. The computer wouldn't ever try to throw you out running back to third so if the batter missed the ball you could abort and head back to third. I could score all day on the computer doing this. I'd get to 100 runs just to watch it roll over to 0 just because I could.

I always liked the Wico Command Control joystick for the 2600. They were well built.

The sports games totally kicked the crap out of "sports games" on any Atari system. Utopia and B-17 bomber were cool as well.

That did it, thanks. So the proper line would use HSC_32K and HSC.

If I use 7800_32k and the 7800BIOS I only get one frog chirp sound on the menu screen then no other sounds. My CC2 doesn't have a pokey chip. HSC_32K and HSC as the bios do the same thing except I then get the high score screen as well.

I figure I'll be about 40th in line like I was for Beef Drop.

That's the update I was hoping for since it was hoped to be done early this month.
