Blame the new guy.

Battlezone's short opening tune is from Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.

It's "eludes", not "alludes".

Cool a GXTV! I had one of those

Is that what that is? There's one on my PS2 digital optical out cable

Yes Jin, very comprehensive thx!

I use my 7800 or Colecovision with Atari adapter with real carts if I have that game; if not, I have the PS2 Atari & Activision Anthologies. Also have both Nintendo DS Atari collections. For last season's Oystron I used the GBA Activision Anthology. If I don't have the game onhand, I dont play that week.

I'm curious as to who's using what hardware, & if game systems' Atari discs (PS2, XBOX, etc) are ok?

Newcomers welcomed & encouraged! We can use some new blood in here.

We have relied on the honor system before.However Im the last one to promote it, as I was involved in a scandal last season, by posting a score I had used 3 years prior. I admitted my wrongdoing & now provide pics with my scores.

I've told my story before but I wont pass up a chance to tell it again! It's also on ferg's 2600 Game By Game podcast, the Laser Blast episode (you'll see why shortly). I had Seaquest & really liked its patch. After several attempts to reach the proper score and get a photo of the screen, I was finally able to send Activision a photo where the necessary score (40,000?) was barely discernable. I waited for weeks, & got the correct form letter...but the WRONG patch. This was a small rectangle, bordered in orange, with "1,000,000" on it, surrounded by exclamation marks. There wasn't any indication what game this was for, but I knew I didnt own it; it wasnt in any of my Activision manuals, plus I was pissed they didnt send the correct one. I tossed it aside in disgust & lost track of it. I didnt care. Years later I learned it was for excelling at Laser Blast, playing for an extended time to reach a million. & I found out people didnt get the patch because they'd set the controller down in fatigue & bump the button, starting a new game & missing the chance for a photo. This patch also later commanded a hefty sum due to the strenuous conditions players underwent to achieve it.

Timed, from the second you hit reset until the fireworks start.

Actually my English teacher wife says "you-know-who" is correct. It's never "you-know-whom".

Yay new XEGS episode!

A group of kids' germs ain't nothin. I have germs from THREE different schools coming into my home.

I'm like that with teasing/picking on ppl. The more I like you, the more I do it, unless I can clearly see you can't handle it. If I don't like someone, I won't talk to them AT ALL.

I perfect scored it on GBA Activision Anthology

Ahhh, that explains it. I suspected as much.
