Making the most out of stuff that you already have, can't get any better than that.

And it even works AFTER transport... Nice!

Not exactly chess, but strategy none the less. http://www.arcade-history.com/?n=checkmate&page=detail&id=444

Bought a Wico command control joystick for him. Item was exactly as described, tracking provided immediately, and he followed up several times (especially for such a low dollar sale). I look forward to more dealings with him.

It's pretty rough at the moment. I'm going to recap the power supply before I even think about plugging it in. On these old ones, in my opinion anyhow, they should never be plugged in until the power supply has been recapped, and the voltages adjusted. I'm hoping that the proms are ok, on account that I don't have an i/c writer . The rest of it I can pretty much handle.

To be honest, it's not the game that is impressive, it's the fact that you are immersed into it. Ledzep makes a valid point. While I truly like the 2600 game, it doesn't stand up to the arcade. Not on account that it's not enjoyable ( it is), but because it can't put you into the game...

Picked this thing up today, it's pretty rough, but I'll have it lookin like a diamond in a goats rear end in a month or so.

Excellent point. If you're a later generation player, or don't like jerking the hell out of a non -precision controller, the Sega controller is the obvious choice. To be honest. even I can pick up a few points by using one, but again, it's all in what you want.

godzillajoe, is this the same cart as the one I posted?

Most of these things were more or less made to be able to be laid on their backs. Problems come about from repairs operators have done over the years. I always check, as previously stated, that all of the shipping hardware it still there before moving them.

Didn't really mean to post the same reply twice, I thought I didn't post it. Anyhow, I don't know how thick these are, but here ya go. http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/6-x-4-acrylic-box-631911/

Old aluminum bread pans turned upside down, like you get at goodwill for a buck or two. Could use a Nintendo, could even shove the cord in the door when not in use. I saw some clear high density boxes at hobby lobby one time. I think folks put flowers in them. You could get pretty creative with them.

Aluminum bread pans turned upside down maybe? The old heavy ones like you can get at goodwill for a buck or two. Could use an old Nintendo, could even shove the cord in the door when not in use. Ran across some high density plastic boxes at hobby lobby once. They were clear, so you could get creative there. I reckon folks put flowers in them or something.

It's hard to go wrong with flat black formica.

Um, should have said NTSC only.

I've got a 3 terabyte Western Digital my book with usb 3.0 and usb 2.0 to trade. I had bought it for a Wii hack, and even played it for 3 or 4 hours. This thing was around 160 bucks when I bought it a few months ago, though you can get it on Amazon for 120. What I'm looking for is Atari 2600 stuff. I'm looking for a couple of cx 40 sticks that are in good shape cosmetically, a pair of cx30 paddles in good cosmetic shape (I don't care if they work or not, I'll be rebuilding them anyhow. Though, it would be nice if the cords were good.), also looking for a Suncom Tac-2 and a Suncom Slik Stik. I'm in need of games. I'll list the ones I already have at the bottom. Like everyone else, I'm looking for the Activision ones, and whatever duplicates you might have. I also am looking for an ElectronicSentimentalities A/V mod board for 2600, and a 2600 pause kit like Atariage sells. The games I already have are as follows: Jungle Hunt, Stampede, ET, Space Invaders, Adventure , Deadly Duck, Pac-man, Kung Fu Master, Chopper Command, Combat, and Fast Eddie. Send me your extras lists if you are interested.

How do you get older consoles to run well on an HDTV?...
in Hardware

In the 2600 forum, most folks say to run it through a vcr. I can tell you that my 2600 that has the component mod kit, looks better run through a vcr first. A lot of folks claim it is the difference between the resolution of a crt and flat screen that makes them look bad, but in my opinion, it has more to do with screen size. Kinda like having an ugly spouse, take pictures far away, and they look great, up close, not so much. Also, some newer TV's won't recognize the minute signals old consoles put out, hence the vcr trick. And yes, when Goodwill was putting out TV's at 10 bucks a piece (crt's), I would physically hook my console up at their store and check em. (this works better if you prepay for one or two, so they know you're not wasting their time). Mileage may vary,but barring spending the big bucks on hardware, expect it to look like a low quality blown up picture. Now, you can play with the screen size and usually get them to look pretty good, but I've never seen a game that has lots of written words that are easy to make out on a lcd.
