One more go! A big jump. 14,575

The 2600 High Score Club recently played Turmoil, which is an excellent game on the 2600, and that got me wondering if it was ever made for the 8-bits. And so I looked it up on Atarimania and sure enough, it was. Has anyone played it the 8-bit version? Is it good? And if so, can we maybe have that one in a future poll?

A little improvement. 8,840

5,570 I played on an emulator. Wish I still had it on a disk to play on my real Atari 800. But for now, my linux laptop will do.

One last go. 47,000

I'm very happy with mine. I hope they continue to make and support it. It's great fun to play old and new games on new tvs with brand new joysticks. Love the box it came with too for carting it around to new locations and tvs.

Slight improvement. 30,730

28,810 This one's a lot of fun. Similar to a later game, homebrew Oystron.

Pinhead is one of the greatest!

21,360 A little improvement.

19,240 Really fun game. I never knew about this one until 2003.

A friend of mine had one when we were kids. We had a blast on that thing. We also played 2600 at another friend's house, Intellivision at another friend's house, and 800 at my house. The systems were too expensive at the time, as well as the tradition being set, so each household could only afford one system. Unlike today, where people have multiple systems at once. The Video Pinball console definitely got eclipsed by the rise of the 2600 and then later other newer systems. But it was well built and is still fun today.

Playing on skill 9 is bonkers! I haven't laughed so much in a long time.

Here are the photos for the above scores.

And bonus and other scores highest score on first wave--- 3,350 highest score for waves 1-3 on first life--- 9,200 highest score on first life-- 11,880 highest score on skill 9-- 4,690 I have photos if needed. Also, littleman, jr. ,aka my son, played today. Here are his scores: high score-- 7,630 highest on first life-- 3,380 highest score on skill 9--- 1,060

New high score for me: 18,730

I bought it to make using a modern TV with the 2600 easy. I also bought it to support what Atari is doing right now. And I bought it in hopes that it will be sturdy and last a long time. I currently own one dying 2600, one perfectly working Video Arcade II, and one working 7800. So it's extra assurance that I'll be able to keep playing 2600/7800 games for a good time to come.

16,630

Late to the party, but just got a foot in the door. Here are a few scores: Tut 400, Dark Cavern 47,000

That is awesome. I hope I can drop by there next time I visit relatives in FLA.

That sounds promising, and likely. In any case, Seawolf is a great game, and I enjoyed playing it on the 2600+ and a big, modern TV.

10,130 The cornering is getting me. I keep missing turns. I'll give it some more tries and see if I can get a little better. Great game.

Maybe it's my cartridge?

Tried a few more. Incoming! works Flap Ping works Dark Mage works Seawolf works but has a small glitch. Sometimes your shots and the bad guys' shots vanish from view but are still there and can hit targets. Swoops mostly works. Game 1, 3, and 4 work. Game 2 seems to freeze.

Reindeer Rescue Space Treat Deluxe both work. Zippy the Porcupine Seaweed Assault do not work.
