I can't find any pics of the unit. I was just wondering if it is easier to make diagonal movements with this model. I personally like the older model better, but if you could go diagonal in bosconian this model might be the one to pick up. I heard that there is a konami model coming. I'm not sure if it's jakks or radica that is making it, but it is coming. I also have no idea what games are going to be on that model. -mike

Hey, Jakks Pacific just recently released a new version of their pac-man handheld. The new version has the same 5 games (pac-man, bosconian, etc), but the joystick is different. It actually is smaller with a disc that you use as the joystick. Has anyone seen this yet? Does anyone know if this will move in 8 directions instead of 4? -mike

I would have to say that games that are worth owning for the 2600 that I don't believe have been stated yet include the following Joystick games ----------------- Millipede, pengo, thrust+, human cannonball, sky diver, entombed, adventure, jammed, crystal castles, bump and jump, saboteur Paddle games ---------------- Warlords, marble craze, super breakout, canyon bomber, video olympics, street racer Keyboard controller ---------------------- Brain games, star raiders There are many other great games, but these are the ones that come directly to mind. -mike

Would it be possible to get a copy of this as well? My email address is spudboy a t optonline d o t net Thanks, Mike

My vote is for hard hat mack. -mike

What about adding some kind of password feature? -mike

I'm game. -mike

How have I ruined this thread? I'm sorry about the picture size, I just took it and loaded it into the computer and sent it off. I really should have photoshopped the image size down, but I wasn't thinking. I also did this as a joke because I own the arcade in my garage. I didn't get a chance to play the 8 bit version and post a score for that. I'm sorry if I angered people or ruined the thread, that wasn't my intentions. -mike

15,720 -Mike P.S. Oops, wrong system

I'll give $60.01 -Mike javascript:emoticon(';)') I'm sorry I just finished watching the price is right

I remember playing the odyssey one when I was really young, my family used to own one. When I got the atari 2600, the odyssey was put away in a closet. Only to come out once in a blue moon. Although when I was in the forth grade back 18 '84 my teacher left halfway through the year, the new teacher Mr Treblehorn (or Mr T for short) brought in an old pong clone that we got to play if we finished our work. I remember thinking that this was really old, but I didn't care as it was a game to play. -Mike

I have had much love for pitfighter. I got it when it came out and it played like the arcade, which I enjoyed. -Mike

Thanks for all the answers and the links. Shannon the atari 810 emulator is a discdrive emulator for the pc. You connect the atari computer to the pc via the sci2pc cable just like you do with the ape program. Thanks, mike

Hello, I'm just wondering what the difference between the APE program and the atari 810 emulator. Can APE load in .bin files or is it only .atr files? Can APE do more than the 810 emulator? Thanks, mike

When I went on opcode's website to check out the space invaders collection, I noticed that he had listed a Pac-Man Collection. Is their any info on this game yet? What pac-man games are going to be on it? Thanks, mike

I'm also in. I will destroy all at Mr. Robot -mike

Hello, I recently posted a question at the vgwiz.com bulletin board about the possibilities of a maxicart for the colecovision. Their was a couple of questions that arose and I'd figure I would post them here and maybe get some answers. Ronin wrote: Given that, I'd think that the current A52 MC design sould work for the Colecovision as well. Actually, to test it, I could try and hack something from the A52 version - to a Coleco edge connector and try it out. What I'll need to know for that experiment is - where is the ROM start address mapped to? and so on. I plan to rip off an old Coleco cartrdige and use its edge connector... I'll keep you posted. If anyone know where I can find some more information about the cartridge pinout and HW related projects, that would help. Ronen also wrote: Okay. So here is what I was able to find: First the Colecovision FAQ: http://www.geocities.com/newcoleco/cvfaq39.html The FAQ has the following description of the cartridge slot: Looking from the top of the unit: D2 D1 D0 A0 A1 A2 SHLD A3 A4 A13 A5 A6 A7 E000 GND 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 C000 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 A11 A10 8000 A14 A000 A12 A9 A8 +5 Notice that there are 14 address pins - A0 to A13. There are 4 Chip-select signals. According to the FAQ, each CS enables a different bank of 8KB. Does that mean that A13 is not really needed? Also, If I had an 8K game, which bank would it use? The one selected by CS of 0x8000 or the one of 0xE000? Thanks, mike

I'm in also. Am I too late for circus atari? -mike

Did Ron Rosen make any other games? -mike

In another topic somebody had mentioned the game Polar Pierre. This sounds very familiar. Was this game programmed by the same guy that made Mr. Robot? -mike

Hello, About a year or so ago I stumbled upon a website that had atari 8 bit games to download and some info on them. I found a game that was programmed by the guy that did "Mr. Robot and his robot factory". I can't remember the title of the game, but it was supposed to be similar, but a better game overall. Mr. Robot is one of my favorite games for the 8 bit and I was wondering if anybody knows what that other game is? Thanks, Mike

Hello, There is just about an hour or so left on the auctions. Some good playstation games. Thanks for looking. http://cgi6.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewS...&sort=3&rows=50 -Mike

Hello, There is one more day left on this auction. All of the games I'm getting rid of are in excellent condition. Most where not even played (although I opened them to read the manual). I have some hard to find rpg's and some shoot'em up's (raycrisis, etc) and I have 3 of the namco classics up for auction. Here is the url http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?View...&sort=3&rows=50 Thanks, mike

I noticed on your webpage a new Odyssye 2 game called planet lander, do you have any info on this game? -mike
