Atari 2600 Mascot?

[Atari 2600 Mascot?]

I suggest one of the dragons from Adventure. I even added the dragon sprite as a decal on my personal vehicle. 

 

[Signal issue on Atari 2600]

So I’ll be playing a game on my Atari 2600 4 switch woody and suddenly the clear image goes all wavy. The image and sound are nice and stable then just randomly this happens until I turn off the console and turn it back on, then it’s fine again for awhile. 
 

Does anyone know what might be causing this to occur?

[A better mario bros for atari 2600]

Love the widebody. I have a DK with DK2 and switcher for DKJr. DK was my favorite back in the day, but grew to live the original MarioBros. My best friend and I frequented a game room with 2 for 25 cents games. We played Mario all the time. We later played the 5200 version for nights on end. Great game. Underrated. Especially great with co-op, friend out against. I have limited space for more arcades, so I'm waiting for the right Mario to come around my area.

Ever played Mario Clash on Virtual Boy? It's a 3D version of Mario Bros with the ability to walk between two planes. It's really fun especially if you like original Mario Bros.

Since I cannot add to my former post, I will say that I also now have a Sega Genesis Arcade Motion. Honestly, not to bad with the exception of the Wii-like controller design which is kinda crummy.

A functional Primal Rage arcade for $40 from an estate sale.

Super Nice! Who cares if it's Primal Rage. It's a functioning cab for $40!

I have decided to put a different game inside the cab, just not sure which yet.

Europe missed out on FB2? Did you know of FB2+?

[PSN Outage]

The error is flood control; I have successfully got my 2 games, free theme and 30 days of PS+... just be patient.

 

Edit- I do believe everyone will get their turn eventually, it's just a waiting game.

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

So the local used everything store sells Atari everything (well at least 2600 games) for 50 cents each. This apparently includes games that are IN THE BOX. I scored the following:

 

Boxed:

Miniature Golf (CiB)

Haunted House (CiB)

Ice Hockey (CiB)

Pitfall! (CiB)

Video Chess (missing manual)

 

Loose:

Tennis

Maze Craze

Atlantis

Hangman

Fire Fighter

Breakout

Circus Atari

Venture

 

Total price = $6.50

 

Most of these were in good to very good condition (boxes were obviously frayed) leading me to suspect they all came to the store from the same source. If the place was only selling them for 50 cents each, I can only imagine the previous owner totally got screwed in trade-in credits. Still, one man's garbage...

 

If that's not a thrift find I don't know what is

 

Separately I acquired Demon Attack and Battlezone, so all in all I got a very nice boost to my 2600 collection today.

 

I only know of one shop in my area that sales 2600 games, it doesn't matter what game. $4.99 each, Nothing I do not already have though.

House of the Dead 3 is so amazing!!

[FB2 and the Sega controller]

@jadedrakerider -

Using whatever controller you choose is fine, many people choose to use unofficial controllers instead of the CX-40's or CX-41's. Do not be bothered by wongojack's purist beliefs.

Super Mario World

Together for $2 via Craigslist! Woot!

[FB2 and the Sega controller]

I can't use the NES gamepad for more than about 30 minutes without my thumb growning 100 calluses (it hurts). Is the Sega gamepad any better?

 

But really . . . whats the point of playing these games on Original Hardware or the Flashback if you aren't going to use the joystick? Just play them on your PC with a $10 gamepad for free.

 

I hate emulation personally and was not from the 2600 generation so using gamepads instead of the joystick seems quite fine to me.

Aren't those sort of deaths dating related? Also I always meet in very public areas.

My PSN is still up, I think certain states are having issues still as it's a new server... I hope every user updated their firmware as the update is also needed for PSN now.
