Radica Space Invaders > 7800 joystick

[Radica Space Invaders > 7800 joystick]

I saw a RSI today for 5 bucks at the local flea market minus the battery cover. Only thing worth a darn there. Hot Springs stinks for thrift store Atari love.

[Sega Genesis is the ONLY controller that will work?]

What he said.

MUST BE FIXED!

Much like my Colecovision with the dead fire buttons.... I can just use the num pads with an Atari stick, but it ticks me off! I feel ya brother!

[Anyone else heard back from PinchMyHandle?]

I would. That is freaky. How long since last pm?

[Selling part of my collection to help pay doctor bills?]

I hope Ax, Bretthorror and anyone else are aware and covering their bases with pp or however.

[Halo 2600 Pre-Order]

Yay!!!! Still want two, but since Its still early summer I can actually afford to get boxed now! very excited!!!!!!

[New game: Traffic Jam for the Atari Lynx]

Looks very cool! I came to AA as a 7800 collector/enthusiast, but it is great to see my beloved Lynx get new and cool software this close to 25 years later.

I know its 5%, but any plans to sell it on a cart? If so, put me down.

[Requesting a little help please]

Just pm me your address and I'll send them to you in a day or two. I have to make some room in my collection anyway.

[Selling part of my collection to help pay doctor bills?]

Bretthorror you have OutRun 3d or Line of Fire? Those are all I'm missing now.. just wondering if either are worth the effort to track down.

[Old thread 2600 / 7800 Arcade JOYSTICKS, modified NES Advantage]

What nes pad designs you got going lately? That Space Invaders is awesome btw.

[Requesting a little help please]

I have a spare StarMaster and Zaxxon if you need them still.

[Last day for this thread 25% off]

[Last day for this thread 25% off]

Do want turbo tap and Wing Commander SegaCD. Also pm'ed you about GG mod question.

[YAGRS]

Purchased an assortment of Atari, Nes, and N64; he was very helpful, polite and shipped quickly! Great AA'er!

[My VCS room coming together slowly]

I'd love to post a pic of my room, but during the summer I'm on an ipad... the app nor the standard forum website allows pic uploading from this thing. Those are some nice game caves!

[Radica Space Invaders > 7800 joystick]

I would love to buy one of you Donkey Kong or Mario Bros themed sticks! Let me know when you feel like selling one! Any idea how much you'd like for one? I'm totally interested!

[When did you first get a 2600?]

I had a heavy 6 from either my folks or I took it home from my grandparents house after my uncles lost interest. I don't remember since I was playing Atari since I could walk. My uncles used to take turns that lasted forever at Pac-Man and Frogger. I had the H6 until I graduated college and a ex roommate got creative about whose boxes were whose and it didn't make the trip home with me. Still gets me angry.

Until the NES, my spare time was dominated by C64 and Atari 2600. Good times.

[My VCS room coming together slowly]

Very nice! I see the MK poster.. is there a Genesis/Mega Drive side to this room?

[Anybody have all 59 7800 CIBs?]

Thanks.... I totally would not have guessed that. Too bad American boxes weren't like those.

[Anybody have all 59 7800 CIBs?]

Sorry... HES? What is HES? Its going to bother me all day.

 

Abbreviations make my head hurt. On another forum folks were referring to a game as StH and I thought they were talking about Sonic the Hedgehog.

[Question about switchbox RF - Coax adapter]

oh if you order the adapter, maybe get a ferite clip for your cable... those seem to help as well.

[Question about switchbox RF - Coax adapter]

Yes! The ebay link is what you need. What you have is an auto switcher, probably from a NES or Sega console. The Ataris don't fare well through those. The little doodad on ebay there is exactly what you need. Good luck and good gaming to you!

[Good deal or not?]

You can usually get cheaper from the marketplace forums, but you'd have to pay shipping. 4 games for 16.00.... hmmm... depends on the games. Of course don't confuse rarity and price with "good." The better 7800 titles are often the commons or the stuff in the AA store.

Commons:

Joust

Robotron

Food Fight

Dig Dug

Donkey Kong

The Atari Age store has a ton of spectacular games as well. You could also contact Pac Man Plus here on the boards and see if he has any of his homebrews still available. Moon Cresta, Scramble, and Rip Off were all great. I just regret missing a few of his releases before I started frequenting the boards.

[Question about switchbox RF - Coax adapter]

How is it connected right now?

Do you have a modern flat screen tv or an older tube style set?

Are you just running the RCA looking cord from the atari direct to your tv? You can get picture like that but you won't have sound.

The old switch box connector is not necessary and will probably make the image worse on a newer tv.

The little RCA to coax/cable adapter is what you need. You can run it in direct to your tv with that, but surprisingly I get better image running it through an old vcr with that adapter and then running RCA to the television.

Let me know if pics will help.

 

There are lots of cool things you can do to upgrade your 7800 play experience from video upgrades to controllers. One of our regulars here does an amazing job converting NES pads to Atari pads.

So the Xbox works fine without that cap? I was thinking about picking up a cheap xbox or two at a thrift shop just for Halo get togethers and would be interested in sending them in for you to do some clean up and cap removal.
