New use for broken Atari Video Pinball

[New use for broken Atari Video Pinball]

Hi ..

 

I rewired a broken Atari Video Pinball to function as a controller! So the side buttons now work with Atari 2600 pinball games.. and the Vectrex Spinball game .. I had to wire some switches to make the buttons compatible with the various games .. and it brings those games alive! I still need to rewire to be compatible with Bally Astrocade Pinball.

 

In place of the paddle controller on top of the deck, I have placed an Indy 500 driving controller for use as a spinner for games coming out that use that function (2600 Thrust, Vectrex Tsunami).

Chad:

 

I love my Cuttle Cart .. I had a blast showing it off in Cincinnati last fall .. running Thrust and Combat2. It is the only way I can keep up with all the new BINs coming out .. And I used it extensively when helping Thomas test a bug in Thrust last year ..

 

The only other comparable product that I enjoy so much is the new Vectrex RAM cart .. by which I programmed the Pythagorian Theorem (Vectrex).

Pick-up has a girl and a guy and a hotel and scoring ? Woeah! I wonder what the sound effects are like? Racy!

 

The other games look cool ..

[Thrust Plus High-Score Contest]

Wow! I'm impressed with all the high scores .. I got 104,040 the other day .. but I didn't take a pic of it ..

 

BTW: I'm playing Thrust with the Starplex 5 button controller ..

[New 2600 Homebrew: Space Treat]

Hi Rasty:

 

I just loaded your Space Treat into the Cuttle Cart in a real 2600 console .. Nice work .. and nicely addicting gameplay too! The colors and scrolling objects are all nice and smooth .. I like it!

 

BTW: Your game made me get registered at atariage just so I could post this reply ..
