    In Ladybug, I like how the flickering was taken good use of, by superimposing two different colors that make a third one to the eye. There are so many interesting feats in this one, I'd love to see them listed and commented upon.

     

    Imagic really pulled their titles above the rest, at least visually, by paying attention to the visuals and hiring professional artists. Demon Attack looks good, even though the speed isn't "all that" and the variety is lacking compared to its inspiration, Phoenix.

    Imagic games are great quite a few were starting to look almost like colecovision titles. :lol:

    Seriously though until i played dragonfire i didn't even know that the 2600 was capable of such graphics.

    Just tried my other colecovision and i still get the black screen but it is a bit fuzzy not just a flat black screen is that a good sign?

    Did you use the same Power Supply for both units?

     

    IF so have you tested the power supply with a multi-tester to see if all holes put out the correct voltage?

    (VOLTAGE), I dont have that information in front of me at the moment, any else know what they are suppose to be? +12V, +5V, and -5V?

     

     

    What are you using to hook it up to the TV?

     

     

    Stay Calm ;)

     

    Yes the same one but there is no way it is the power supply because the atari module works fine and also the voltages would be different here im pretty sure.

    EW was indeed available in stores.

     

    Yes but to start with the games were only available through atari club then they later released them through stores. Anyone know how far they got with worldwide release i want to try this for myself.

    I don't think so. When the SwordQuest series and contests were first announced in Electronic Games magazine-- before EarthWorld was released-- I started watching out for EarthWorld, and bought it at someplace like K-Mart or Roses or Lowes (yes, Lowes used to sell Atari 2600 games; that's where I bought Pitfall! when it came out). When I heard about a game that I wanted, I would go buy it the day it was released, and I bought EarthWorld the day it was released. I don't think it was available through the Atari Club before that, because I was a member of the Atari Club, and I'm sure I would have bought it through them if they'd had it for purchase before the retail stores did.

     

    Same with FireWorld-- available at retail stores on day 1 of its release.

     

    WaterWorld was definitely a different story, available (at first) only through the Atari Club. And let me tell you, that had some of the EarthWorld/FireWorld contestants crying foul. In particular, I remember that Robert Ruiz (who was in the EarthWorld constest, and who I met at the FireWorld contest) was highly pissed about that, as well as about the fact that the WaterWorld contest would be limited to 15 contestants instead of 50. He went on and on about how "They're changing the rules on us!" I think he would have been only too happy to take Atari to court over it-- that is, if he could have afforded a long, drawn-out lawsuit.

    Ah so i was thinking of Waterworld my bad and anyone know if these got an Australian release?

    I just recently hacked together a new power box for my A2600 and for a while it worked fine but just now about 10 mins ago i plugged in Threshold switched it on and... nothing i flicked the switches around a bit fiddled with all the plugs... nothing i desperatley tried all my games and nothing there does not appear to be anything wrong with the wiring of my hack-job power box. Please help.
