    Some of the best games IMHO for the 2600 were the Imagic titles. Cosmic Ark (my personal favorite), Demon Attack and Atlantis are all fantastic.

     

    Cosmic Ark?! Are you kidding??, That game will turn off him forever...it sucks. You can have my cart for free, I'll gladly give it away.

     

    Thank you for your thoughtful, expert and insightful criticism 4 months after the original topic was posted (ROFL).

    Sorry if this got asked before, I searched and didn't find. But what are the ranks in Adventure 2? I managed to get Chalice Master tonight on difficulty lvl 3 and wondered how high up that is. Still enjoying this game even years after it's release. I would totally love to see and purchase an Adventure 3.

     

    Thanks,

    Hi Folks,

     

    I'd like to play the Adventure 2 from the Flashback console on my Atari 2600 but is the only way to get it by purchasing a Flashback? I can't seem to find it any other way. I'd really like to get a copy of the cart as I assume getting a ROM is out of the question since it's still being sold.

     

    Thanks,

    to hell with paypal and the irs, robbing everyone. as if we dont pay enough paypal fees over the years and as if the government hasnt been mishandling money for decades. our country is in debt, what, billions of dollars?! LOL why keep giving them money, our government is a BAD investment. I dont fear them, i fear nothing. the only reason people pay this shit is fear.

     

    most people are struggling bad right now myself included, good honest people. the government aint full of good honest people, neither is paypal, screw them and their 1099

     

    ps - i got the 1099 too. gee, wonder what im going to do? LMFAO.

     

    While I certainly share some of your sentiments, you could be made to pay alot more in fines and jail time for not reporting income or paying taxes. Be careful if that's what you choose to do.

    Not a critique on the auction, but how can something be "sealed without shrinkwrap"?

     

    You know, I thought the exact same thing. Only thing that came to mind was perhaps the boxes were taped during manufacturer?

    Hi Folks,

     

    I've found someone selling a CIB Atari 2600 4 switch system (woodgrain) with 9 common carts on craigslist for WAY too much money (at least I think so). Condition is important to me and everything in the pics (attached) does look very well cared for and in excellent condition but they're asking $300 which is not gonna happen. Since they're local and I'm looking to buy a system, I want to offer them a fair price but I don't have a really good feel for it. I'm thinking $75 to $100 tops which will probably insult them and I expect my email to go unanswered but I'll give it a try.

     

    Opinions please and thanks.

    The prices for Atari stuff on fleebay the last few years have gotten pretty crazy at times. Granted there is a lot of stuff in this auction but this by far takes the cake for the as far as asking price I've ever seen. Item number is 320669183978. Good luck to the seller, methinks he's gonna need it.

    Can anyone tell me what homebrews the Deluxe Harmony Cart comes with (quoted below from the website)? Also will the Harmony work with a 5200 VCS adapter?

     

     

    The deluxe edition includes a color printed manual, a USB-mini B cable, and a 2GB (or larger) SD card loaded with the programming software, drivers, online manual and homebrew games that you are encouraged to try such that you may one day purchase them from the AtariAge store.

     

    Thanks,

    I guess I'm one of the few people who actually likes the stock controllers. I've gotten used to centering them using hand movements. Replacing the rubber boots helps with that too.

    The fact they don't self center does not bother me. Its the fire buttons that bother me. Its not just 5200 fire buttons tho. also 7800 and coleco and intellivision all kill my hands

     

    I do understand where you're coming from. Until you get used to them they can be murder on the thumbs.
