    While we are on Rescue on Fractalus example:

    How could it look today on A8 ? would GTIA mode tricks and GPRIOR effects make any difference ? or could it be even faster ?

    I know it could look better and be faster on C64 using all the methods that were discoverd during years.....

     

     

    Of course, ditto on the Atari XL.

    Does anybody have any views on where any titles were launched on both Atari and Commodore - and the Atari version is the better of the two?

     

    Steve

    No, and I doubt anyone else has anything to say on the subject.

     

    Yes, but too numerous to mention

    How much did you get this for?

     

    For my soul! ;)

     

    I wonder why Iwan never can answer a question properly. I mean, he likes to show off, but if one ask a question, all his answers are always 'joke here, joke there'. ninoy ask a relevant question, maybe there are some sources for other VCS user to try and get a Heavy 6er, but no go with Iwan, for him it's all a joke. Shame.

     

    No one likes a dick Frenchman. Be good and maybe we'll bail you out again in WW3 :twisted:

     

     

    Are you saying the Germans gonna start one of those again? With Iwan at the helm?

    In one word: No

    What you need is a Philips TV Tuner from, lets say, Germany (not the British Philips TV Tuner of the same model), something like this:

    http://cgi.ebay.de/TV-Tuner-analog-PHILIPS...%3A1%7C294%3A50

    Which supports VHF, with that you connect to an 8833 or a Commodore Monitor, and ...voila works.

    Can't promise about colour with the Gemini though,as I don't know if the Gemini is REALLY PAL compatible. Or the info you got means that the Gemini supports PAL and NTSC carts on NTSC TVs, eg Canada.

    And don't worry about the German 2-pin power plug, it fits into a UK socket, I've done it many times.

    I was going to post the first 5 issues of 2600 Connection here on AA, but I got an 'Cease and desist' order from Tim Duarte telling me to stop doing so*

    Therefore I am going to post the 'first 10 years' article, read it, they almost made it 20 years, but I guess it wasn't to be.

    *Actually I got a very nice message from Tim Duarte asking nicely to stop posting 2600 Connection on AA mainly because he is still selling the first 50 issues. So if anyone's interested, and I know you all are, contact Tim (see 2600 Connection website), he's selling an issue for $1.50 each (Or maybe he still does the Volume packs, which in turn are cheaper). Can't say fairer than that.

    Can I post a swap here?

    I have two extra ITT games, boxed with instructions.

    PAL The Peter Penguin plastic box is slightly damaged, but at least it's a box to go with the cart.

    PAL The Alien's Return box is also not the best, the little flaps are missing, and there is other wear and tear.

    The Stargate is NTSC, boxed.

     

    I'd would swap for an empty box of Checkers from Activision, a cart-only Crossbow, and a cart-only Lock n Chase.
