    And I would love to do a game like Star Raiders on the CV (it would make good use of the CV controller keypad, for one thing) although I would probably steer more towards the Starpath game "Phaser Patrol" because it's the same kind of game but the space battles seem a little more intense. :)

    I'm surprised nothing like Star Raiders or Phaser Patrol never was done for the CV. The Inty got Space Spartans, and the 2600 got Star Master, Star Voyager and... I guess some would call it Star Raiders... The 5200 showed how the controller could work.

    It is not SCART it is RGB. And yes RGB is Awesome! RGB is the very best Analouge signal you can get..light years better than S-Video.

    Your in the USA so say JP-21 Japanese 21 RGB, Scart is Euro and PAL...try to avoid that.

    It's my understanding the Genesis is doing native RGB output then? What mystery cable is needed for RGB output in the US?

    Clues for the clueless please? I see a lot of raves about using SCART output on the Genesis for the best picture quality, but is that pretty much a European only solution? I don't think I've ever seen a TV in the US with a SCART port. Beyond modifying the motherboard, is there a clean, easy way to get RGB output from a Genesis to run on something in the US? What type of Monitors should I be on the prowl for to upgrade to to get the BEST image quality out of my Genesis (Mod2) SCD, 32X combo?

    I'd love to try this but I shut off my land line last year because we never used it anymore. I wonder if I can emulate a land line via wifi or cell? Also wonder what protocol is used and at what Baud rate.

     

    Are there latency issues to think about at such slow baud rates? Or because of the slow baud rates, do you not have to worry about latency? I know zip about this, but at 300 baud, how long of a pause can you get in a ping and not disconnect?

    I posted on the Collectorvision facebook page, but what are peoples thoughts if the boxart was available as a digital download for folks who like UGC's? I would prefer a real box, and I got a great DK & Turbo from Phattyboombatty awhile back.

     

    This would help out the artists, and let folks also keep some cohesion in their collection.

    I think there was a differentiation between toy and videogame rights. On the latest Intellivisionaries podcast, Keith Robinson said that Mattel was confident that it would get the rights to Star Wars. That is why Star Strike resembles the trench scene.

    I wonder what was up with Mattel licensing properties for the Inty? The deal for "Battlestar Galactica" fell through too, and "Space Battle" got the catchy name it has. Yet they got "Tron"...

    Back in the true 8-bit console days, I was transitioning to computers (Atari 800!) and missed out on that gen of systems. I have an NES now, but don't ever recall seeing a SMS in the wild or anyone actually owning one in the late 80's, pre-16 bit days.

     

    As an Atari fan, I was aware of the 7800, but never bit.

     

    So folks, what are the impressions of these systems tag-teaming it? Over at Classicgameroom.com Mark just did a system review on the SMS, and I'm intrigued by it.

     

    The 7800 was supposed to be real competition for the NES, but technically, was it really? How does a SMS stand up to a NES?

    OK, I also gave it another whirl after this thread came alive. And it is pretty good for a version of the "classic" Star Trek game. I'm playing it on the "Atari Anthology" on PS2, which does include a scan of the manual. One stupid bit on the emulation though, when I lose a mission, it is bumping me back to the menu so fast I can't read the screen. Grrrr... Had fun with it today though.

    I love Looping. I ran into the Arcade game while at Summer Camp as a kid, and was super excited to find it for my CV back in the day. I think the music is some of the best on the CV. Successfully navigating the pipe-maze WITH drips is one of the hidden treasures/joys of owning a CV.
