[Ms Pac pcb run in Pac cab with Pac wiring harness?]

Is is possible to pull a Pacman board and stick a Ms Pacman board in it's place and play without any rewiring? I believe I've read somewhere that the harnesses are virtually the same but I can't find the answer to this question anywhere on the net. Should I be worried about anything else if attempting this (power supply)? Basically I don't want to worry with soldering/replacing chips to convert the Pac board to Ms Pac or a multi-pac.

 

Thanks!

It is a straight board switch. http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=10816

[Guess What Game It Is]

I think I killed this thread. Did anyone bring a shovel?

O.K. Random (or whoever) I have one for you, I will make this one fairly easy.

 

Clue one - Charleton Heston

Clue two - Kung-Fu

Artillery Duel (Charlton Heston liked things that went boom)/Chuck Norris Superkicks (He likes to go punchy/kicky)

Next clue

 

David Carridine

Oh, both were in the movie Gray Lady Down, so the game has something to do with a submarine. Could be one of these:

 

Submarine Commander

 

Bermuda Triangle

 

Airlock

 

Seaquest

 

Fantastic Voyage

 

James Bond 007

Last clue

 

I am Legend (by the way it is an Atari 2600 game)

 

I've got it. "Gray Lady" is a common nickname of the "New York Times." 20th century newspapers, as we all know, are printed on wood pulp paper, which contains large quantities of acid (and therefore must be de-acidified in order to preserve them). "Gray Lady Down", which starred Charlton Heston and David Carradine, is clearly a code for "Acid Drop," which was programmed by Dennis M. Kiss (a clever reference to the 1982 K.I.S.S rock anthem "I'm A Legend Tonight")

 

 

What do I win?

Holy crap, that was incredible reasoning if at all true. Unfortunately wrong.

[Do you have any pics?]

UM, click on "See other items" - his Atari 2 game boxes Super Cobra CIB Astro Chase CIB rare auction is even more indicative of his craziness

 

BTW, he is KENNETH MARTIN DOLAN, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER 317 84 6287

WTF, here's the auction:

 

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 290391267294

After reading the bottom of that auction I now feel like an ass for messing with him. He is obviously at least a little crazy or completely insane. Either way I am done messing with him.

[Do you have any pics?]

Sounds like some messed up cross between Pig-Latin and Shakespeare. lol Decrypting his response, my guess is that he's really trying to say: "buy it and try it. I want you to be happy. If disappointed, let me know so I can regurgitate more nonsense".

That's funny. "Sounds like some messed up cross between Pig-Latin and Shakespeare"

 

[Do you have any pics?]

I just asked him for pictures ha ha. what a weird individual. Hopefully we can drive them mad

I had to get in on this one so I wrote him. Here is my question and his response.

 

 

 

> Q: What is a "Decethlon"? If it is an Atari 2600 game I am very interested in your sale. In all my years of collecting I have yet to hear of this game. Please give me some more info. on Decethlon.

 

Thanks, Eric

 

 

 

Heh, probably deserving of a "smart ass" response somewhat maybe ...

 

 

Decethlon Game Description: (SOLD SEPERATELY FROM THIS AUCTION) throw javelins into mean collectors warranting through smartassedness a smartassed response (yet fun never hurtful and congruent if lawyer), run races with asinine video collectors racing to snipe auctions, but who are fat slobs of computer geeks who make stupid jokes 100 out of 100 random persons never understand who know-it-all-

Nick-the-computer-guy-MADTV episode as a hobby that ONLY 100 persons "belong to" as collectors unlike 1 or 2 million potential market (what aren't "leaders" of hobby millionaires by now, THAT IS WHY! (combined with being dirt poor like self here) of Atari-love.

 

WAIT, THIS HAS N O T H I N G TO DO WITH MY AUCTION ! ARE YOU THE "RELEVANT TOPIC ONLY" HYPOCRITES ARE "HYPOCRITES" WHO CALL PEOPLE "HYPOCRITES" PEOPLE ?

 

Thanxs for being a smartass, that is fun.

 

I WOULD R A T H E R A MILLION OR TWO COLLECTOR MARJET INSTEAD THOUGH (OR BOTH)

[Guess What Game It Is]

New requirement: State how each clue is related to the game.

 

Also, here's a rare 4th clue, as we seem to be having trouble here.

 

"Who was the actor in X-Men: The Last Stand that played Kitty Pryde?"

My last guess is Juno First:

 

1. Net Yaroze was made for homebrewers / Juno First is a homebrew game.
   _
   
2. Barb Wire has nice boobs / The programmer of Juno First has nice boobs?
   _
   
3. X-Men are mutants / The game has mutants.
   _
   
4. Kitty Pryde was played by Ellen Page who was in Juno / Matchy matchy.
   

Great guess R.T. I had never even heard of that game.

[Need help with some 2600 problems.]

Try the 7805 voltage regulator on the unit that fails when it heats up. The earliest models were good for that.

Earliest models? 6 switch? 4 switch? I also have to say the topic starter sure is good with every suggestion thrown at him. My suggestion...... Get 3 or 4 other machines , maybe one or three will work.

[What were the hardest arcade coin-op games?]

Played Donkey Kong on an original cabinet today. I forgot how hard it was. I could not get past the 1st elevator screen in 3 attempts, I stopped playing after that. I might be going out on a limb here, but this is one tough game.

Centipede or Millipede.

 

It has bugs.

It has a lazer (ray of light).

Not sure what the third clue means.

[I just got my 1st non-functional 2600 cart]

I knew the streak had to end at some point. Unfortunately it's Jawbreaker, a game I've been wanting for a long time. Just happy these things seemingly last forever =). It was an ebay auction where the seller says it "worked the last time I tried it". I'm not too disappointed because it was only like $10, which isn't too bad for a broken Jawbreaker =).

Wow, I did not get a heads up at all from e-bay about a Jawbreaker cart up for grabs. When was the auction?. I also got a non-working cart. Custers Revenge. I did everything I know to do to fix it and no luck.

[Unfricking believable! RROD 30 min. out of the box!]

That is freakin' weird. I've left my Jasper on for days at a time and still no problem.

Guess you got a good one.

[Games you loved back in the day, but now suck.]

I can think of some right off the bat.

 

Combat - 2600

Sneak-n-peak - 2600

Satans Hollow - arcade

All mechanical pinball machines

[Human Wrecking Balls smash arcade games on G4]

When I saw the perfect looking Scramble machine that they were going to destroy I changed the channel. I could'nt bear to watch that. That is one of my favorite games.

[Mastery of classic games]

Asteroids, Space Invaders, Battle Zone, Q*Bert... These are classic games I played as a teen and young adult. I felt like I could never get to where I was really good at any of these, because to get in the amount of practice I would need would require an expenditure of more money than I had access to, or was willing to devote to that purpose. Now, years later, I have access to these classics again - through emulation, ports to home systems, and MAME. In theory, so it seems, if I were willing to devote enough time to any one of the above mentioned games, I should be able to get progressively better, shouldn't I? And yet, as I play them, I don't feel like my playing (...or the resulting score) is even remotely near the level of skill that I recall observing demonstrated by the arcade "Masters" of almost 30 years ago. Is that just the way it is? Is there just some kind of "twitch zen" that some players have and others don't, propelling them to the tops of the high score lists? Fortunately, I'm not a particularly competitive person, so I can still derive a great deal of pleasure from the game play itself, even with the knowledge that my skill would not impress anyone and would be laughed at by any group of serious gamers. Just wondering how many here have had a similar experience?

I can play a few coin ops. as long as I want, Asteroids and Matmania. I was able to play them as long as I wanted as a kid and now as an adult. I own some of the classic machines that I played as a kid and still can't marathon them. I think you have a really interesting point in saying that you are not able to substantially improve in some games. Maybe, your "twitch zen" is a valid point. I will give you two examples that help prove your point. I own missile command and still to this day can't marathon it. I own Hyper Sports and can't get any better than when I was a kid. I think you either have it or you don't. One other thing I would like to say is I got (finally) a PS3 slim, and I suck ass. No matter how hard I try I can't get use to backward, opposite, or whatever controlling. I mean if I go up on the controller the targeting goes down. I am wired opposite of that, so I think the way your brain is wired is going to be the ultimate result on your play.
