Yep, right=A. When I move it to B the background gets darker.
I just compared the old C= monitor to Stella on my Mac and the monitor's picture was quite a bit darker so I increased the brightness on the monitor. That probably explains why I had to change settings on my camera to even get a picture for the HSC. Even then, the image outside the display is really dark. I've included the original(non-cropped, not resized) version so you can see.

8655 with right difficulty = A for accelerated speed

It was a very original game at the time. Also Dungeons & Dragons was really popular when it came out. My brother, sister and I spent the summer collecting aluminum cans to buy it.

Hmm - this game supports both the joystick and the paddle. Is the choice up to us? The instructions say "The paddle moves the base faster, and we recommend it for a better game. "

You can find most of the manuals online here at AtariAge. Here's the manual for Donkey Kong. You can click on each page to view it full size. Here's the rules for the 2nd screen.
To find them, go to the main page and use the Title Search, which is the last blue box on the left side of the page.

1690 - think I've had enough of this game. I think the main problem is the negative scoring. It's very frustrating to have a score around 2500 just to have it decimated by them damn bats and the pool of acid.

Made it to the 6th round.

That was my first game ever of Frankenstein's Monster. I'm sure I'll improve

Get a FlashBack 2.0. It's a mini-Atari with 42 games plus 2 brand new joysticks that can be used with a real Atari as well as the Stelladaptor.

Rolled it!
My tips
1) - for the dragon - continuously fly left/right against the top of the screen. This way you can avoid getting stunned multiple times in a row(which leads to a molten death).
2) I noticed that if you can make it to the top of the screen then you can always be higher than THE KILLER DRAGONFLIES and THE INVISIBLE INVINCIBLES. It's very difficult to do and will take a lot of practice. If you fly up to fast you'll bounce off the top and most likely die. Fly to slow and the enemies will outmaneuver you and kill you. Once you make it to the top, you'll need to keep an eye on which direction the enemies are coming from because you're dead if you're facing the wrong way.

Yes, it does happen while the screen is flickering blue, but it is in Splatform, not Cave 1K.I just checked on the real thing. No problems for me.
It does seem to happen all the time. I have a joystick in the left port and a pair of paddles in the right one...Again, I cannot repeat this (Jacob, your SC is modded, right?).
Anyone else having similar problems when testing on real hardware?
Same problem here - Splatform screen rolls during the death sequence. I'm using a Krok Cart.

I haven't yet, but I plan to.

The Supercharger Mod is not difficult to do. It was the first soldering I've every done. It really helps that the old technology is large

I think the Cuttle Cart supports more(all games except Pitfall II if I'm not mistaken), but they're no longer in production(there is a Cuttle Cart II, but while it supports 2600 games it only works in a 7800). The Maxicart supports the least.
One really nice thing about the Krok Cart is you can load a bunch of games onto it at the same time and then use a menu to select which game. Both the Cuttle Cart and the Maxicart only support 1 game at a time.
The Krok Cart and the Maxicart both remember what was last loaded into them. The Cuttle Cart does not.
The Krok Cart and the Maxicart are both sold out. There's supposed to be more Krok Carts produced, don't know about the Maxicart.
