    Here's what I need:

    • Waterworld
    • 3D Tetris
    • Jack Bros.
    • Virtual League Baseball
    • Golf
    • Galactic Pinball
    • Panic Bomber

    They don't necessarily need box or manual; I'm mainly interested in the games themselves. Japanese versions are also okay. And any Japanese-only games you may have are good, too, like V-Tetris, etc.

     

    PM or reply if you can help. I've got a list of all of my games for various systems here; most of them aren't for sale or trade, but we could probably work something out. Just let me know what you're interested in, and I'll let you know if it's available. Mega Man games are definitely NOT up for sale or trade. ;)

     

    Thanks!

    I'm sure everyone's heard of this by now. Anyways, I just received the card today, and I'm playing on a Palm Tungsten C. It's got the 5-way navigator (aka "nipple") for control, so they're great for games. Plus, since there's a button in the center, and the 2600 games only use one button, you can play one-handed! The card will also work in Pocket PCs and certain Nokia phones.

     

    All the games look and sound great. All the classic bleeps are there (though they sound a bit different), and the control is tight. The only thing that takes some getting used to is controlling paddle games like Breakout, Pong, and Missile Command; using digital buttons doesn't give you precise control like the analog paddles did. But for games like Adventure, you're golden. That game's my personal favorite, and I was most pleased to see it translated so well to my handheld.

     

    The cost may put some people off ($30 for seven common 2600 games), but Palm's got a special offer going on right now where if you order any Palm or MDM card, you get a second card for free. For the freebie, you can choose Atari Retro Card, Merriam-Webster Crossword and Word Challenges, Rayman, Sega Classics, Game Essentials, or PopCap Puzzle Pack. Not a bad deal.

     

    Regardless, I think the Atari Retro card is a worthwhile investment. I'm enjoying sneaking in games while my boss isn't around. ;)

    woah.. fan base? :) hi guys!

    Any chance you'll update the G&W ports to work with a Tungsten C? ;)

     

    Anyways, I just got the Atari Retro card at work, and I'm sneaking in games when my boss isn't looking. Very slick job, indeed. I'll post a full review a little later.

    As much as I love my Atari 7800, the NES tops it. There's just too many of my favorite games on that system: the Mega Man series, Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3, Contra, Jackal, Bionic Commando...I could go on and on. It's no wonder the NES is my favorite system of all time.

     

    However, when I want some classic arcade action, it's the Atari 7800 or nuthin'. I still have a blast playing Ms. Pac-Man, Robotron: 2084, Rampage, Asteroids, and plenty of others on that system. :D

    No, stay away from ebay when buying 72 pin connectors.  Half the sellers there are selling 'bentback' connectors that they took out of an nes.  These last a very short time if they ever work.  Buy them from mcmelectronics.com.

    I bought a gold-plated one to avoid that problem.

    I wish I had a dremel.  I tried to take the tabs inside the SNES out with pliers, but they only snapped off partially and left nubs behind.  I figured as hamhanded as I am I'd better quit there before I did something stupid and ruined the console.

    A hacksaw would work, too. I took apart the entire system, and removed the cart slot itself to work on. You can get the bits needed for the security bolts at a bunch of different online retailers (NCSX is where I got mine).

    If it's any consolation, I don't have one either.  I only have the U.S. version.  I do however have import versions of Rockman & Forte and Rockman 7 for SFC that I could really use a Super Famicom to play (the converter route has been a bust, and I can't even hack up a Game Genie enough to be an adaptor thanks to the damn stupid plastic notch).

    Cut the notches out of the cartridge slot with a Dremel. That's what I did, as I have the imports of Rockman & Forte and Rockman 7 as well, along with Rockman X2. :D
