    First generation Camaros, classic consoles, vintage hi-fi, Hess Toy Trucks, Star Wars (IV, V and VI), RUSH, Led Zep and Baseball.

    My all-time favorite arcade/home console game is Asteroids. If you’re a fan of Asteroids, check out Space Rocks (2600 - Darrell Spice, Jr.) and Asteroids Deluxe (7800 - Bob DeCrescenzo). Both are excellent IMHO!

  1. They’re fine, just big & bulky. I have not tried them with the 2600+.
  2. I use mine every now and then. They have been known to make an appearance during our game nights. Our friends get a kick out of them. Btw, another company (GameMate 2) also made them.
  3. 💯 agree. I ordered a pair when they first came out and liked them so much, that I ordered another pair. They work well, have a nice silicone boot, and a seven foot cord. If you prefer CX-40, I would recommend this joystick. I also like the CX-10s and have a couple pair in my collection. @Ben from Plaion if Atari were to make/sell joysticks with micro switches, I’d definitely buy them. You can read about them here. In all honesty, it’s best to contact them by phone and ask for their Lifetime Gold CX40 with lifetime silicone boot and handle.
  4. We have a Pole Position Cockpit cabinet at one of our local "Game Preserve" arcades. Whenever I'm there, I never miss an oppotunity to play it. Totally agree that the CX52 works well with Pole Position. IMO the CX52 works well with Defender, Pole Position and Qix. Game-on everyone!
  5. Sadly, not much game play at all. You can move Charlie Brown around and extend his kite. With a 2nd joystick connected to Player 2, you can move the balloons, left & right across the screen. There's a write-up on the AtariProtos site.
  6. Opened and played. Yep, my copy includes the poster manual and a growth chart.
  7. How can we order a copy? Please don’t say facebook.
  8. It is a hard game. I’m not very good at it.

    Confirming that EXO carts run with latest experimental FW and updated dumper.
  10. Thank you. I’d like to make Time Pilot Arcade a Day 1 purchase. My SGM can’t wait.
  11. Yep…I have the 2600 version. My CIB came with a Sweepstakes Catalog and order form.
  12. Hmm...my Pigs in Space is sealed (as I have the ROM on multicart). I may need to open it.
  13. I was unaware of the poster instructions. I purchased my copy (an open box copy from 1986) years ago and it came with a black & white manual. A quick search on eBay shows other boxed copies with a color manuals (circa 1983) and one with the poster. So it seems that there are several variations of this title, depending on year of manufacture 1983 through 1986. The poster variant is pretty cool.👍
  14. Yeah, it’s a cool atmosphere. This arcade has two locations. The one near NASA is actually a bit further than the other one, but both have over 100 games (pinball and coin-ops). I played a few games of Phoenix. I’m rusty, my best score was just over 25k.
