Pong

Time to go to Craigslist for a different TV! (meaning I don't actually have another one)

Let's try naming all the other consoles, there's probably 20 of them, from the Odyssey to the N64, from the CD-i to the Intellivision.

Tried it, webcam made huge file with horrible quality. I'll see if I can get it on VHS with a few other stuff I want to record and then export it when possible. But it's the weirdest thing ever, no documentation at all.

Where do you rank Sega-16? Sega-16 failed to work on my computer once when I was browsing it, so I closed the tab and never went back. So, not a member.

Good luck with that! I have made several inquiries over the years (well above the individual store level) and nobody seemed to know what I was talking about. Remember that the vast majority of people do not care about old video games, and they are highly unlikely to remember a product last in the stores some 25 years ago. It would be very interesting to find out who the original manufacturer (or, at least, wholesaler) was, but that information is probably long gone to dust. Actually, I just want to play a joke on them, that's why. It would be hilarious to get a reaction of "what are you talking about" and then, if they actually do have it (horrendously unlikely), I'm going to buy them.

No issues at all with the VCR or the Genesis, or unless they're way off on the channel settings. Trust me, I've tried changing that, still nothing. I disconnected it from the switchbox and the VCR straight to the TV, and guess what? It still rolls the screen. Also, it started fuzzing out a bit for a minute, but quickly changed back after I stopped my character, probably light connection.

Well, all I want is a DRM-free Sims game that uses a method like Sims 1, but with cars, separate entities of AI, walking around the whole town, even to survive, and no Comic Sans font. Without any pay-for-pretty DLC, just expansion packs, and NO STUFF PACKS.

Why not plug it in and test it out? (I swear I saw this exact same thread just 10 minutes ago on NA)

Well, my TV only has the two forks/coax input, it's made of wood, and it doesn't support newer items (anything with the three RCA plugs) well. But, yeah, it's a rolling screen. So, this just happens and I have to live with it?

I'm on AtariAge, NintendoAge, and SegaAge. In order of maturity, it's NA, then SA, then here. I'd love to have a board here.

Looks really interesting, now all I need is $1.29... :3

I go, I build, I set it on fire. Just like any other normal game that is made out of cubes with a 16x16 texture on each of its faces that eats up at least 1GB of RAM when played made by Markus Persson.

Checked that list, but Scuba Diver's not on there. What.

Connected my Atari, finally, to my TV set-up. It's connected the TV in coax port of my Genesis switchbox, that switchbox is connected to my converter (modern RCA -> COAX, very useful), which is connected to my VHS, which is connected to the TV. It's a horrible method, yet it works. Anyway, I can play some games like Combat and Missile Command and even Mario Bros. fine on it, but once I choose something like Swordquest and move my character, the screen flickers like mad. I thought it might have been my channel signal selection, yet it changed nothing. My TV has no option on flickering, though, so I can't really do much. The other option was that it's a PAL cart, but I tried my duplicate and the same thing happened. If anyone wants, I can record myself trying it just so there's some idea on what's going on, but I think that data might be enough. Running on a Darth Vader. EDIT: Tried every channel combo possible, still nothing. I've tried a few puzzles like the nuclear waterfall, which flickers if you DON'T move, and the run-across-a-highway thing, which flickers whenever it wants.

It's loose, sadly, but it doesn't take up so much space on my shelf because of that. Amazingly, Zellers still exists here (meant to be replaced by Target), so I think I'm going to go and ask them if they have Atari 2600 games that they "produced". And film it.

Well, when I got my 2600 lot, it came with the Zellers version of Scuba Diver. I'm just wondering how much Zellers games are worth, why they exist, how rare are they, and if there's a demand at all.

Well im not one of them.im 15 and i LOVE retro games and systems like the Nes,Genesis,2600,Playstation,Master system,Gameboy,Gamegear,Lynx etc. Actually i like retro system and games more than modern games.I had fond memories of my Nes.My cousin gave me her Nes with 15 games and i loved it.remember playing Super Mario bros.3 with my sister on the Mario bros. arcade stage.remembers having to blow in the Nes carts too,great memories I'm not so sure I'd associate "retro" with Mario Bros. anything. Gameboy, GameGear, that too isn't really retro. Lynx? Perhaps in the right context. What is the definition of retro anyways? Is there a certain date or age point? A certain technology? Is it some event in the marketplace that occurs and the "retro" status is bestowed upon the device..? I think it's the fifth generation of gaming (N64) and earlier that's classic, and third and earlier (7800) that's retro.

Video Olympics is the only proper game of pong.

Emulation can not fulfill that and it will never replace the place of the real item. Trust me, I've tried, but it works a lot better if you're using a real console, cursing at the forks and cleaning carts with a q-tip.

Wait a second. I started gaming in 2000 (I was born in 1995) and I've picked up the consoles to relive the nostalgia of older gamers. I can't be the only one that falls under this category. (When people are asked about my gaming love, they think it's an obsession on the toys of your generation).

E.T. is far from the worst game ever made. I've played MUCH worse games, and compared to them, E.T. is like a gaming gem that's as great as Street Fighter or Mario or whatever was huge back then.

It's been a while since I started this thread, but I actually have an idea for a decent R.O.B. game. I guess the question now is, can I find time to learn how to program it? The only idea that I have is to disassemble Gyromite or Stack-Up and learning from that. And I'm aware that it's a bad idea, but it's the only one we got.
