I know. It's fine, as long as it doesen't happen on real hardware.
-
The one I;m using is even shorter than the 2600's controller cable... It just gives a really nice quality picture. That's all, so I reccomended it. My dad just gave it to me because the original one was very flaky and bad. I would have to tape it to display right.

After I complete a level, it changes back to Hangly... Prosystem is so buggy!
-
Yup. You are right. Odd. I thought pressing F5 would just move thw switch. It looks great, though!

All the sudden were talked about grammar?

kaboom

It gets zen like. I think the trick comes in the extra lives, and learning to do circular breathing between the different waves. If you can program your brain at the top speed, it should be something you can keep going on until fatigued.

The only "trick" I can think of is to not worry about the location of the bombs, but to just move back and forth across the screen really fast. That's what I do when my eyes have fatigued and my brain can't keep up with the action any more.
Me too.. I rarely do, though.

Oh... My dad just gave it to me to use. It looks fantastic. I had no idea it was $70...
-
No. I use a regular heavy duty RF cable labeled MONTER VIDEO. They're much thicker than the original ones and have a matte finish. They aren't made just for Atari.
-
I use a really heavy sheilded MONSTER video cable. It works great.
-
Nah. If it was Pitfall II, SURE!

I was in camp... Gosh! It shows I'm online all day because I just put my computer on sleep without logging out. School starts in August.

I just went WAY over the 6 and pack-maned Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Man, Super Breakout, Kaboom! (in the box), River Raid, Warlords, Dig Dug, Space Invaders, Frogger, Combat, and Enduro.

For crying out loud. It's "would have", but who cares? All this nitpicking about grammar ... for what good?
Why has this thread become a place for people to throw up on each other? The kid proports to be 10, and I see no reason to think any differently based on his posts. Let him have his fun. Its not like he's trying to start fights or anything. He's just really excited about his hobby.
Now that I have that off my chest ...
When you get back from vacation, Jr. Pac, would you mind posting a pic of your homemade center? I'd be interested to see what your capable of.
I can take pics today, actually. It's just made of an old Toppling Towers wood block set all glued together. It took 2 says to make. Thanks for defending me. All the sudden all these fights start.

Here is the music mock-up. It's in my gallery. (the video is not aligned with the audio and everything's transposed to C major. The 1st one is the arcade and 2nd is 7800.) You don't have to change it. Are pre-orders ready?
-
Awesome!!! Is it supposed to always be Hangly-Man? It always is in Prosystem. Are there any pre-orders coming?
-
It works like new now..
-
I took all you listed except Pitfall before the voting was over.
-
It died WITHOUT the cable.. Just a quick clean of the controller end and it's fine.
-
Sorry about that... It was a normal common 9-pin one male one female end cable. I don't really need it now that I have a little game center/display in my room.
-
Actually, it just "broke" again. It turns out it was a problem with the extension cable I was using, not the system or joystick.
-
The wat I clean contacts is I cut off a piece of a cleanwhite t-shirt and an expired credit card, any card you don't want anymore. I wet the peice of t-shirt in alchohol, stretch the peice of t-shirt on the card, and push it into the cart slot. All around. To get to the pins, you're supposed to have a small flathead screwdriver and put into the very ends of the black cart slot part, and the door to the pins will open. After, just take another peice of shirt and repeat, without putting on alchohol to dry. It does wonders.

Thanks, Slowcoder! Now it works just great. I guess my original cleaning wasn't good enough.

Yes. The joystick works great on my other 2600, plus the stick is brand new.
