    The 2600 was *almost* my first video game system. The first was an Atari 400, which we got in '82, but several months later we got the 2600. So I guess technically the 2600 was my first "Video Game" system, since the 400 was designed primarily as a computer, but it was was purchased solely for the purpose of playing the games and not once ever used for its computer features. :P

    Thanks CPUWIZ. I can't wait to get 'em! :D

     

     

     

    Do these games need to be 'finished?'

     

    They seemed pretty 'done' to me? This isn't like Chuck Norris where you need to use the cheat to get past certain levels or Klax where it won't work on some 7800s.

    Well, yes they are pretty finished, and very enjoyable to play, but if some POKEY-powered background music and sound effects could possibly be added it would make them even better. That's all. :)

     

    I'd love it if Rampart could be finished though, since the proto-demo isn't really playable. It's one of my favorite games on the Lynx and I would love to have a playable cart for the 7800.

    Thread back from the dead. |:) :evil:

     

    I was going to post a topic about this show, but a quick search proved there are already many discussions about it. This one seemed like it was as good as any to post in, so here we are.

     

    Anywho, I stumbled upon this site a few years ago, though I can't remember now how I did. I don't think the show aired in my area, so I had never seen it before. I really enjoy watching these episodes, as they're all new to me. There are a lot of games I honestly don't even remember back then, so it's awesome to discover them for the first time after all these years. One of them is Juno First, for example, which since I first saw it on Starcade has been made into a homebrew. Now it's one of my favorite 2600 games to play.

     

    When I first started watching these online, there were only around 15 episodes, but they've put up many more since. I'm still loving watching it and hope they continue to upload more episodes, and release more on DVD.

     

    One thing that stands out to me is the theme song. It's so '80s cheesy, but I can't help it getting stuck in my head, with those goofy bongo drums and all. So great. haha

     

    So what do more of y'all think of the show? Do you still enjoy watching it?

    If you are actually considering assembling and selling some of these, please mark me down for a copy of each.

     

    In case CPUWIZ is busy, there are others here as well that can make these carts for you. Not sure the policy on asking for repro carts in the AA marketplace, but that may be a good place to start. :)

    Thanks for the tip, Austin!

     

     

     

     

    If it hasn't been mentioned already, I really hope there are plans to complete these to play on the 78XM.
    Nobody has directly asked for them to be done.

     

    Hi GroovyBee, please finish these games for the Atari 7800 Expansion Module.

     

    PS, please add music.

     

    ;) :D

    Haha, yes GroovyBee, will you or any other 7800 programmer please finish these games for the Atari 7800 Expansion Module (with POKEY enhanced music please :D )?

     

    - Robby

    Awesome Pac-Collection! I have been collecting Pac-related things periodically through the years too, but don't have a an actual "shrine" set up like that yet. Very cool.

     

    So what's your favorite version of Pac-Man? The two-legged, red-eyed one on the arcade cabinet? The Hanna-Barbera cartoon one? Etc?

     

    I am currently really liking the modern version of him, as featured in my avatar. :)

    This is my first time hearing of these for the 7800. I just dl'ed and tried them and... WOW. Sirius and Plutos are amazing! If it hasn't been mentioned already, I really hope there are plans to complete these to play on the 78XM.

     

     

     

    I have many parts around to make more of these, although at this point, pretty much most 7800 fans have these already. :)

    If you are actually considering assembling and selling some of these, please mark me down for a copy of each.

    This is something my younger brother and I were just discussing a few days ago. I personally consider the Intellivision controller the first version of it. Sure, it's wierd and awkward to use (I remember playing my cousin's INTV when we were kids, and never liking the controller), but it does serve the same function as the traditional D-pad.

    A few of my favorite 2600 homebrews include:

     

    Pac-Man Arcade

    Juno First

    Thrust Platinum

    Lady Bug

    Berzerk Voice Enhanced

    Halo 2600

    Lead is pretty cool too

     

    I just ordered K.O. Cruiser because the demo video looks like a lot of fun, as well as Defender Arcade. So I'm looking forward to those arriving. Also I have Turbo that I ordered before the store's vacation, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Sadly, my consoles are currently not accessible.

    One way the Module can be theoretically previewed right now is by trying the POKEY enhanced version of Pac-Man Collection via dl'ing the A78 file in the other thread in this forum. The improved sounds make worlds of a difference.

     

     

    Regarding the unit itself, will the casing plastic have the same texturing to match the 7800, or will it be smooth and glossy? I can't quite tell by the photo.

    Man... I'd be all over a handheld 2600.

     

    I wonder if it would be marketable if they did a handheld system in the Plug and Play fashion, but with a screen and 20 or so games built into it, but also have a slot on the back/top that would accept carts. Maybe it could have a jack to plug it to a TV via RCA cable like one of those handheld Famiclones. Couldn't it be possible to eventually release something like this as an update or replacement for the current Atari Plug and Play joystick? Personally, I think it would sell if it were kept in the $40 range, but I guess I'm just dreamin'. :-P

     

    On another note, that's a sweet avatar Heavy26R. :thumbsup:

    Wow, just got my Turbo and T-shirt today! :lust: FAST shipping - I just place the order a couple of days ago!

     

    Thanks again, Al. The Turbo cart, box and instructions couldn't get any better looking. And the shirt rocks! Excellent quality, and bravo for using real screen printing instead of heat transfers like what is so commonly used today. Top notch stuff. :thumbsup:

    Hi and welcome aboard. I'm fairly new here too, but this is the best place to be if you want to learn more about Atari.

     

    To answer a few of your questions, that I'm capable of answering:

     

    If you're considering getting a 2600, you may want to think about which version you'd like to get. Or possibly you may even consider getting a 7800 since it plays 2600 games as well as dedicated 7800 games. If you want a 2600 for total nostalgia, you may prefer to stick with one of the older models with the woodgrain panel on the front. Check the main AtariAge front page menu to see all the different models that were avaiable.

     

    A few of the best and most reputable Atari sellers online are Best Electronics and B & C/MyAtari. Not sure of their exact url's off hand but try Googling them. Then there's also the AtariAge store right here for many new homebrew games and hardware accessories.

     

    A few of my favorite 2600 homebrews and hacks are Thrust Platinum, Lady Bug, Juno First, Berzerk Voice Enhanced, to name a few off the top of my head.

     

    Wico made the best arcade quality joysticks for home systems. They are actually the company that made the controls in many arcades throughout the '80s, and the home versions were built the same way.

     

    IMHO, the Wico Command Control joysticks are the best that money can buy. The standard Atari sticks are fine too when they are working like they're supposed to.

     

    That's pretty much all I think I know. ;) Hope that helps.

    Here are the two label variations. The black one is from CGE, the gray one is the one available here. New school and retro - both equally awesome. :D The more I look at them though, the more I am preferring the art on the gray label. I really like how you can see the Halo in the sky.

    I just saw this thread in the Arcade Coin-Op section about the first drawings of Pac-Man:

     

    http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/164972-original-pac-man-design-sketches-circa-1979-surface-online/page__gopid__2072096

     

     

    Now, I don't know the first thing about programming, so I don't know how difficult it would be to do this, but what if the updated POKEY version of Pac-Man Collection also had the concept maze added to it? Would that even be possible, or feasible, considering time or memory capacity? Whether it would or wouldn't be, I think it would definitely be awesome!!!
