  1. The dueling fallopian tubes alone have peaked my interest. I'm going to have to pick up a copy for that alone!
  2. I just picked up Realsports boxing and I find it to be a pretty decent game based on the system's capabilities. How does Activision's boxing compare to the Realsports version?
  3. The 45 degree angle trick worked like a charm. Thanks!
  4. I just picked up Winter Games and I cannot for thge life of me figure out how to land during the ski jumping event. Anybody have any tips for a successful landing?
  5. NIAD is definitely great to deal with. Great communication and fast to ship!
  6. Thanks for the info. Usually poorly designed websites indicate bad companies, but I guess they are the exception to the rule. I definitely want to get their catalog as it seems to be the ultimate resource on everything Atari related.
  7. Sorry, there were no posts on the first two pages under the search results dealing solely with the reputation of Best Electronics. Didn't feel like going through all 19 pages.
  8. Anyone have any experience with this company. They seem like an excellent resource, but their webpage design makes it hard to take them as a serious company.
  9. Can't forget Towering Inferno and Ghostbusters.
  10. I'm looking to buy either an original or a homemade "Y" adapter so I can use the Gemini paddles on my 2600.
  11. Thanks for saving me a trip to the store. I'm not exactly a wiring whiz so I guess I'm going to have to keep searching the internet.
  12. I tried doing this and it had no effect. Being I can't find one of these Y cables anywhere, I'm going to attempt to use a Y cable for a 9-pin serial port and see if that works. I'll be picking it up from Microcenter on friday so I'll give an update after I try it out.
  13. I just picked up a pair of Gemini controllers thinking that it would be great to use one controller for joystick and paddle games without having to disconnect anything (I'm using a 4-switch 2600 system). The joystick works fine, but the button doesn't work when I use paddle games. The button works fine with joystick games. If I move the joystick when playing a paddle game, it does the same job as the button. Before I start taking apart the controller, I was wondering if anyone has has similar issues with these controllers. The only non-malfunction issue I can think of that could cause an issue is that only one controller is attached to the port unlike the standard paddles. Any help is appreciated.
  14. The game isn't exactly FIFA 12, but it is still pretty enjoyable. Much like regular soccer, the key to winning is good passing. On a side note, is there any difference between this and Championship Soccer? Championship Soccer states its approved by Pele, so I'm guessing it came first and then they just renamed it. On an other side note, its kinda interesting how the downfall of soccer in the US in the early 80's is related to the video game crash.
  15. I just picked up a PAL version of Crossbow by accident (plays a bit funny on my TV). It came with a worn box with many languages on the back. Any idea of its rarity? Please don't flame me if its super common, I'm new at this!
