I’ve been introducing my 10 year old grandson to the amazing world is Atari 2600 and 7800 games this week, and tonight while we were playing Food Fight, I had the best game of my life! I usually play with a Slik Stik, but one of mine is having fire button issues, so tonight I broke out my trusty CX-40. We were playing a two player game, and I made it to level 32. Couldn’t get my iPhone’s camera out quick enough to shoot a screen shot, though...[emoji19][emoji17] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Atari 7800 Custom Joysticks (Asteroids/Flight/Retro/Arcade)

I'm thinking about building my own 7800 controller with arcade parts. Is there any way to power led buttons? I'm assuming by using pin 7? TIA! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
As much as I tried, this was all I could get this evening. [emoji849][emoji15][emoji6][emoji23][emoji451][emoji451][emoji451] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! I tried that last night, and still got owned! Apparently, I'm not hardcore! [emoji15][emoji849][emoji23][emoji451][emoji451][emoji451] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What 2600 games are you playing right now?

Played me some River Raid, Seaquest, and a butt ton of Stampede for the patches tonight. I was successful on two out of three. Best score I could muster on Stampede was 1,983 points. Maybe tomorrow! [emoji451][emoji451][emoji451][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Put me down for patch number 5. Conquered Keystone Kapers! Nothing like a YouTube video to give you pointers! [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Completed Megamania and Pitfall today. I think this is my personal best game on Pitfall, as well! Sorry for the amazing Pitfall pic, but my 2600 goes wonky sometimes. Only when I've been playing for a while, though. Not sure what that's all about. [emoji15][emoji451][emoji451][emoji451] Read my writing at https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/ThatAaronGuy

Megamania and Pitfall today to earn the patches. I was actually successful, and I think this was my best Pitfall game of all time. I actually almost lived until the timer ran out. Any ideas on what could be causing my 2600's output to look so awesome after I play for like 40 minutes or so? It doesn't do this all the time, but when it does, it's always when I've been playing for a while. Read my writing at https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/ThatAaronGuy -

Keystone Kapers this evening in an attempt to score another patch in the 2017 Activision Summer patch quest. I guess a year is long enough to forget the trouble I had with this one last summer!

Yeah, I tried and tried to get Stampede done the last 2 years. Maybe 2017 will be the year. Or not...[emoji849][emoji23] Read my writing at https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/ThatAaronGuy

I'm a bit late to the party this year, but here's my first two, Chopper Command and H.E.R.O. I only made it to level 14 on H.E.R.O., but I haven't played it for a while, so I'm a bit rusty. [emoji15][emoji6][emoji23] Read my writing at https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/ThatAaronGuy

Pretty sure I had PAC-Man Picnic, as that album cover looks suspiciously familiar...[emoji15][emoji6] Read my writing at https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/ThatAaronGuy

Just went on an early evening Starpath binge, with quick rounds of Phaser Patrol (amazing game), Sword of Saros, and Rabbit Transit. How have I never played Phaser Patrol before today? I've had it sitting on my Harmony cart for like 3 years now! LOL! Read my writing at https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/ThatAaronGuy -
Defend your Castle, will be released on Christmas Eve.

Don't feel too bad! Apparently, I've been hiding under a rock of my own. That, and I've been distracted the last few months with my NES, but now I'm back to Atari goodness, and I just downloaded this great game. Now, if I can just convince my wife to play it with me...[emoji15][emoji849][emoji23] Read my writing at https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/ThatAaronGuy
