What's the most insane thing you've done to get a 2600 game?

[What's the most insane thing you've done to get a 2600 game?]

I once spent an entire day with a shovel in New Mexico trying to find a copy of ET..

[Good day at GoodWill!]

I always called them ratshack.  What I did was get a nice large metal case and make a multi-adapter that will power all my game systems.  Only one ac plug but for each adapter you can select the voltage/polarity/ac,dc and i used the plugs from multi-adapters so you can use whatever end you need.  I did have to install a few fans though

 

Nice! Do you have pictures?

That Stampede shirt is awesome!

 

I found this at a thrift store recently:

 

 

 

And made this one:

 

[What's your highest score on Space Invaders, var. 16, dif. a]

3,920 so far.  I thought I could do better.  

 

1920 so far.  I'll get better.

 

What?!! What's your strategy?

[What's your highest score on Space Invaders, var. 16, dif. a]

What's your highest score on 2600 Space Invaders, game 16, with difficulty set to a? Mine's a whopping 75 so far.

[Name your three desert-island 2600 games]

Space Invaders

Kaboom!

Adventure

[Anyone collect Timex Sinclair 1000 stuff?]

I found a Capitalization Master tape, still sealed. PM me if interested.

[Pathetic things you did to play two-player games alone]

I used to play Combat tanks with my eyes closed.

[Atari Funnies No.6]

What software do you use to create those? Do you only modify screenshots from your emulator or are some of them made from scratch?  

 

I use Photoshop, and they're mainly just modified screenshots from PCAE.

 

I just might post an atari comic myself for all to enjoy!  ( Unless you have a copyright on the idea or something  )

 

The more comics around here the merrier!

 

Are you planning a book to sell?

 

Nope.

[Game Chambers Comic Strip #25]

When's the Anthology going to be published?

 

 

[Atari Funnies No.5]

No.5 is a variation on No.3:

[Atari Funnies No.6]

 

More comics everyone! Let's see some more Adventures of Pitfall Hairy!

[Atari Funnies No.5]

It's been a while. Enjoy.

 

[NES Advantage]

I found an NES Advantage controller at a garage sale yesterday. When I use it, there is no sound. What gives?

[Games your parents enjoyed]

My dad loved Activision Tennis.

[Post screenshots of your favorite bit-mapped Atari art!]

[Best 2600 music?]

I like the music at the beginning of Crazy Climber.

[Atari computer newbie here]

I'm kinda awkward. Is there a page with tons of info on Atari computers? If so, I would check it out for answers.

[Anyone own a CoCo2?]

I grew up with one. I think it might be time to finally get one. I remember having a subscription to Rainbow magazine. I remember a company called Tom Mix software. I remember a program called CoCo Max. So many fuzzy memories....

[best looking carts]

like the original Atari labels. Very clean (and modern for the time). I always thought the pic labels were too busy.

 

Agreed. The lower case type is super cool.

[Most common cart?]

I'm always seeing Star Raiders.

[VCS Drinking Games??]

Trying to play Kaboom! while drunk is no mean feat!

 

I know, it's impossible!

 

Same with Indy 500.

[yet another NES question]

I'm always having to track down power supplies for consoles I find at thrifts. It's quite an ordeal. Does anyone know of a site that lists all the specs for various systems? I'd be willing to host one.
