  1. I want an Intellivision, I bet it'd be a fun system to collect for. The carts aren't impossible to find at locl game stoes either, Iv'e seen some.

      Big fan of the INTV! You will not regret owning one and very fun to collect for.

      That's fantastic to hear! I'll get it tested at the store too.

      Good common games to look for: Space Battle, Astrosmash, Demon Attack. I have an extra boxed Las Vegas Poker and Blackjack if you want to pay for shipping.

      Chewing tobacco is probably one of the grossest things you can do. Glad you agree.

  3. Ladybug and Conquest of Mars look like very fun games. I'm gonna buy one after my next paycheck.

  4. It had black screens and bad connections, I took it apart and tightened the cord. No modding or anything. After I got that fixed, 9 times out of 10 my games would never work because the cart slot was so dirty, I cleaned a cart stuck it in and out 10 times (without turning it on) and let it dry and I haven't had a problem since then.
  5. Been collecting for a year tomorrow.

  6. Hey guys, this is my collection. It's been a year ago tomorrow my Grandparents gave me there broken Atari and I fixed it. It's 68 games. I'll probably keep going for all the common games I like for a few years. Then when I got my own place I'll start collecting rare games (I'm only 15 and storage is limited).
  7. When I got my Atari 2600, I had to take it apart and tighten the Audio/ video cord. It could be loose like mine was. If not, try and buy this adapter. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcompare.ebay.com%2Flike%2F181093323602%3Fvar%3Dlv%26ltyp%3DAllFixedPriceItemTypes%26var%3Dsbar It's tiny and easy to use. I bought it for like 4 bucks at my local game store and you can find it at radioshack or the internet too.
  8. Hi, I'm considering the idea of making an arcade machine with my Dad. The cabinet won't be a problem but what should I use for electronics? Like the screen, programming, etc.? Also some suggestions for games would be awesome!
  9. I found my Grandparents Atari 2600 in there storage room about a year ago. They had 2 joysticks, AC Adaptor and like 8 games. I was curious, because I had never played one before. I plugged it in and it had a horrible connection, so I opened the system up and tightened the video/ audio wire and it worked fine. They bought the system back in 1981 and they let me have it. I've just bought more and more games since then.
  10. Pen and thumb on top. It depends on what joystick game I play.
  11. Playing (obviously), and it is something to say you have.
  12. I won't support it, unless it's a handheld. Maybe plays 7800 and 2600 games. The reason why is, anybody can pick up an 2600 for 30 bucks with 10 games. A handheld would actually stick out and be something new besides the real Atari consoles or the flashback clones. I've seen NES and SNES portable clones at my local game store. Why not make an Atari one? What if we can make an AV out on the thing too?
  13. My little bro saw my 2600 and asked where to plug the HDMI cord! lmao

      I sure wish there was an HDMI mod for the 2600! :D

    2. 2600Guru

      2600Guru

      Yeah but this is a completely normal unmodded system! lol

  14. My girlfriend doesn't know I play Atari...

      If you have an Atari, why would you need a girlfriend?

      Ah, so you're in the closet.

  15. I am wanting to buy some games on here. I don't want to pay a lot, so if anybody has some loose carts for the 2600 please message me. No really common ones like Pac-Man or E.T please.

    1. 2600Guru

      2600Guru

      Nah, I'd take free games. I just don't want lots with like 1 game I don't have and stuff.

    2. 2600Guru

      2600Guru

      Like maybe if somebody put up the games on here and made them a few bucks each and we could pick what games we want, that'd be awesome.

      Make me an offer on anything you need that I have. My lots are not set in stone.

  16. Man, I was literally thinking about a pool game for the 2600. I didn't know they had any. I'm gonna follow this topic because, I want a pool game.
  17. Activision rocks

  18. Hey guys, I have a game called 'Combat', which I am sure everyone has... Anyways, I know it's not rare at all because I always see copies of it at Tradeposts and Game stores. I have always been the kind of person who will fix something (if it can be done) rather then spend a buck. I fixed my paddle controllers, and 2600, they work like new. I was wondering if there is a way to fix a dead cart. When I put that game in the system it goes all black screen on me! All other 66 games I have work so it's defiantly not the console. Anybody know if I can repair it myself? I appreciate any help!
  19. Man you guys have a grip... Besides the 2600, I have an NES, SNES, X-Box 360, PSP, and a Gameboy Color.
  20. Finally i'm back.

  21. Some chicks at school asked if I have played M*A*S*H before. I was like "Oh yeah, I have that game!". So we ended up playing their version of M*A*S*H. Which is not a video game... The one I play is much more fun.

  22. Check out my ScoreClub 3, if your up for a game of Lock 'n' Chase!

  23. Your the only one complaining. I actually had some people doing this. So stop wining,
