a new 72-pin connector usually works, though mine is weird because it works only when the game is still up and I get the game started on the first go every time. So you could try that, I don't think the cartridges are at fault if all of them do the same thing.

that's the vectrex lightpen I made Very Nice....Does it Work Well? It works as well as an original I think, I only have artmaster and the circuit is from playvectrex.com

that's the vectrex lightpen I made

well I went there but it won't accept an order of 20 screws for some reason, as I have 6 games that need 18 screws

Just got an intellevision from my Uncle's house with about 30 games most of them having their manuals and overlays along with the intellivoice module.

Ok I have a batch of NES games that all have no screws in them. Is there anywhere I can get the security screws or am I stuck with using Philips head ones

can I get a pic and description of condition for that?

I have one because I just wanted to get the original three Atari home systems(aka Jaguar not included, might get one one of these days). I first heard about it through the AVGN's review which was really harsh on the system and marred my opinion on it until I was able to play one at midwestern gaming classics in 09. The game on display was pacman and the second I tried it all that stuff about the controllers being non-responsive was thrown out the window(I realize their not recentering but most people complain about them for games like Pac-Man and they actually work fairly well for it.) Decided to buy one later that month, and am still happy with it. I paid about 140 dollars for a lot from OldJD's ebay store, got 20 games all with overlays and most with instructions, two rebuilt controllers, trackball controller, and a fairly good condition four-port system. It's not the cheapest system to acquire, but the games are fairly cheap, I got the excellent Berzerk port for about 8 bucks complete. I haven't gotten into older computers yet so I can't really talk about the overlap with the A800. Rebuilt controllers are a necessity though as they will last much much longer then original ones. My one real complete is no end labels on the games, I'm tight on space right now for Atari games so I have to stack them all vertically. Meaning that whenever I want to get a new game I have to go through a stack of 22 games looking for it. I haven't gotten to many other games for it because there are really no more that interest me. Okay sorry for the long ramble but final thing, favorite games for the 5200 Robotron 2084, Qix, Pengo, Pac-Man

Alright, wasn't sure to put this in the hombrew forum or here so forgive me if this is in the wrong spot. Anyway I wanted to at least start programming in general. But I do have an interest in at making some basic games for the 2600. However I just wanted to know what programming language I would need to learn and if anyone knows of any good resources online.

I was thinking of running an experiment to determine which way of cleaning games works the best. I'm not sure if anyone has done this before but I would use a batch of NES games who have their contacts fully cleaned with one method to where it functions on the first go. Then I'll test them again one week later to see if they still function. I was also thinking of just borrowing a microscope to check the amount of corrosion left both on the first test and second test, just to see how quickly it comes back. As for methods of cleaning to try I will use Windex, Alcohol, rubber eraser, and one of those magic erasers also maybe the nail file method. Would like to hear of any other cleaning methods people have tried. Any input on this would be appreciated.

I have a complete Vectrex, 6 cib games, Artmaster, a homebrew lightpen I built, and Vecmania and Protector/Yasi hombrews nothing compared to some of other collections but the Vectrex is still one of the best systems ever.

Still looking for one, waiting on a few ebay auctions but this thread still stands, I'm interested in anything accessories you'd sell with it and any extra games you'd sell with it to me.

Hi, I have problems on both my NES and SNES. On the SNES every time I put in a super FX game like Star Fox or Doom there are green bars going down the screen, this happened on the last one I had only with red bars. I think it might be the RF adaptor as it's the same from the old system. With the NES almost no game will play on the first go and I replaced the 72 pin connector about two months ago, and I can't even get Total Recall to play despite thorough cleaning with alcohol. If anyone has any suggestions for these problems that would be great.

No Fear

I'm looking for an R-Zone, I'm looking for the head mounted version. I would like it in good condition if you have one to sell and at least one game.

I'm looking for a Virtual boy system in good condition with the stand, visor, controller with battery pack, and at least one game. Shipping would be to Atlanta, GA

I do have the question as to why anyone would want Ralph Baer to sign a game card and not the system itself? Is that signature even real, was it in the auction you bid on that these games came from? But yeah those games are ridiculously overpriced

Hi, I need a Vectrex test cartridge to do some adjustments to my vectrex's screen. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Still looking for an answer before I call in a repair

Hi, I have a No Fear pinball machine and I think the solenoid that shoots the ball might have a problem. At the beginning and other times during the game it's supposed to shoot a ball into the skydive hole which leads to the subway ramp. However lately sometimes this happens and other times the ball bounces around on the edge and rolls back down. I've tried cleaning the pinballs and playfield of debris but this still persists. I believe it's the solenoid as it does go in some of the time but I'm not sure and don't want to buy another solenoid to put in until someone with more knowledge on this can help.
