nice avatar.

went looking through my big box of 2600 carts for the first time in a while to see if i had any of the picture labels that have been discussed recently (fun with numbers, hunt and score, ect.), and while i didn't find any of those carts, i did rediscover these two wonders of late 80s quality control. who's got these? (there's no black tape on the canyon bomber, it's just blank where the "use with...controller" line usually is.)

Yet another possibility is that the stick could be rotated about its axis to act as a paddle. This would be similar to the Sears Video Arcade II combination joystick/paddle controllers. The 7800 Pro-Line joysticks were able to be rotated, but the rotation didn't have any in-game function. Perhaps the designers of this unit have added that functionality.
this is the way you use to steer in pole position on the jakks namco ms. pac-man plug 'n play, so i wouldn't be surprised if it was somehow employed here.

i apologize if this has already been posted...got this in an e-mail from a friend who works at G4...
GO 'OLD SCHOOL' FOR THE HOLIDAYS WITH THE
'ATARI FLASHBACK' CLASSIC GAME CONSOLE
-- New Plug-And-Play System Offers 20 Vintage Atari Titles, Including One Never-Before-Released Game --
BEVERLY, MA, September 7, 2004 - It started a revolution and redefined entertainment for a generation...and today, Atari (Nasdaq: ATAR) proves you can go home again with its Atari® Flashback Classic Game Console. Coming in time for the holiday season, Atari Flashback is a stand-alone, plug-and-play unit filled with 20 classic Atari games, including Asteroids®, Centipede®, Breakout® and the never-before-released Saboteur. Atari Flashback, a hybrid of the classic Atari 2600 and 7800 consoles, is modeled to resemble a smaller replica of the 7800 and plugs directly into the TV, for easy access and instant gratification.
"Today's huge universe of video games fans got its start with these vintage Atari games and the old Atari consoles," said Wim Stocks, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "For those gamers, Atari Flashback is a rush of nostalgia and retro fun; for younger gamers, it's a chance to see where it all began and try their hand at gaming old-school style. It's a must-have gift for the holidays."
Returning 20 years after the introduction of the Atari 7800, Atari Flashback is a smaller replica of the original Atari 7800 system and comes with two joystick controllers, power supply and a TV cable so gamers can quickly and easily connect to their TV and start playing. Atari Flashback features 20 classic games that defined a generation of players, as well as one previously unreleased game, Saboteur.

i have to say, i didn't think that the black jack cart would end up upstaging the silver gravitar i found with it...

picked up what would appear to be a standard-looking 2600 joystick for the coleco gemini system today. it has "Gemini" and "vg-170" molded on the joystick base. was this something that was available as an alternate to the gemini's stock combo controller perhaps? or something else entirely?

i've got the '86 "homerun" cart with the "use with joystick controllers" tape covering up the label mistake...

i'm looking for a converter that will allow one to play PAL super famicom games on an us snes. primarily because i have a super fam multicart that i can't get to work on my snes (the tabs have been removed) and i'd like to see if it is in fact PAL and not DOA. lik-sang is sold out of the honey bee super magic converter. would a game genie work for this purpose? thanks in advance for any info and leads.

Beastie Boys Appearances in Video Games
didn't know about this...
The Elusive Beastie Boys Arcade Game
If things had been different in 1992, you could have been guiding Adrock, MCA or Mike D around the screen at your local video arcade. A game was actually made by the Kaneko Company where you and two friends could control each of the Beasties as they travel through different platform style levels. A prototype cabinet was made using the 'Check Your Head' logo on one side and a white picture of the Beastie Boys on the other. The control panel had each of the Beastie's names next to each joystick. A CD player inside the cabinet plays tracks from "Paul's Boutique" and "Check Your Head" and as expected any swearing is beeped out.
The different levels consisted of:
Dodging eggs being thrown at them for 30 seconds
Standing on a giant moving turntable while avoiding "The Turntable King"
Get their microphones back
Get their instruments back
Get back to PJ's for their live performance
When all these levels are complete you win the RIAA Award and it all starts again. The game was never released as it never received licensing from the Beastie Boys or Grand Royal.

the hidden level is also in the 5200 (and i think 8-bit) version of the game. the 5200 version also has a secret message (similar to the adventure easter egg) to be found in the hidden level too...
-
cool! please pm me your address.
-
i have manuals for nes rad racer and atari 5200 pac-man up for grabs. first come first serve. :wink:
-
Island was the only thing from that auction that I need' date=' but I am holding out and saving up for the time a boxed copy will go up for bid. I have bad luck with buying a rare loose game and paying out the ass for it, then a boxed copy comes around a week later that sells for the same price I paid.[/quote']
i don't think survival island or sword of saros ever came with boxes. IIRC, they were shipped out with the manuals in plastic bags.
-
i actually got my copy of fatal run from o'shea, ltd, who had them in stock for a little while. i can't remember how much it was exactly; i think it was more than $.80 but definitely less than $5.00.
-
Man, that price sucked.
Too much for a manual for me though. 
you're telling me...at least it's a little bit more than what i paid for it.
-
you shoulda bid on this one

(yeah, i know have this going on)

luckily, i found this in a game store in london when i was on a family holiday years ago. unluckily, i don't have a tv that has a manual picture adjust. i do like how the title is spelled differently on the manual though...
-
boxed pal 2600 commando-there is a tear across the middle of the back of the box and on the right spine. $6 shipped worldwide. paypal preferred, will also take money orders. thanks for looking.
-
has anyone seen any significant difference in listing classic items under "games" or "vintage games" on ebay in terms of the attention they get? do the "item specific" details under the "games" listing make much of a difference when searching ebay? thanks for the feedback, and i apologize if i've missed a previous discussion on this...
-
No worries, I will not forget about you, I keep my promises.
i'm not worried about that at all, was just hoping things were coming along ok
-
very nice cpu...how's that dump of Nuts coming btw?
-
it is funny how the shrinkwrap mentality works. i put a complete (even w/ styrofoam block) hogan's alley on ebay twice recently for a low starting price, with both auctions ending without a bid. oh well...
-
ok...here we go...
-
hope this works...and unfortunately they wouldn't let me keep the crazy climber end label...
