Godspeede, good luck.....this may take a while...lol.

I am partial to the canadian 2$ coin...its about as big as a u.s. silver dollar but made of two different types of metal.

Wow...thanks for the screenshots. Yars Return looks very good, I will have to see. Ive never played Caverns before. Who could be dumb enough to judge an entire game on one screenshot? Just kidding. The one I cant wait to see a peview of is Lunar Lander. This is a good time to be a classic game nut like me. Its like Christmas Eve type anticipation for us. Thanks again to Curt for this little nugget. P.S. I still have my fingers crossed for Video Pinball nd Breakout as hidden games!

50060.......dig dug and combat sittin in a tree....

For the past couple of years i have kept my high scores on a spread sheet. As a kid I just had a 3 subject note book full of high scores. Any body else keep a high score list? If so, how is yours set up? My spreadsheet has the following columns left to right: game title, game variation, #of games played, high score, date, game description, comments.

37000 Ive played alot this week and although you guys are blowing me away as usuall, i have improved a bunch...this game is more fun than it looks.

I read in one of these threads that the fb2 console unit was going to be 2/3 the size of the original. I wonder if anyone has the dimensions of the original system (i guess were talking about a heavy sixer). I have a cabinet that i bought back in the day that holds the 2600, controllers and 15 games, i have it rigged to hold my 2600 jr now, but if the fb2 is similar in size i may put that badboy in there.

ah....but isnt that part of the charm of the 2600? i remember wishing it had a pause button, as i once lost a chance at a high score in defender because of a sneeze...

frustrating game...but fun 1957

12240 i would have done better but two old guys were heckling me the whole time!

I also am into classic as well as modern gaming. I have a Gamecube and in an evening I might play Resident Evil 4 for an hour, and then pop in Midway Arcade Classics for a while. For me it depends on what im in the mood for. I too have had every generation of system, and if i had to choose 1 to keep forever it would be the 2600. I cant really explain why, other than it is what it is...just plug it in, grab a cartradge and go. There are no x, y, z, a, b, c, l1, r1,l2, r2 buttons...just a big orange one. If ps3 and 360 and revoulution were food, they'ed be steak and lobster and caviar. The 2600 is a burger, fries and a shake. All good stuff, but different. Tonight I am cleaning my old 2600 controllers to get them ready to use with Flashback 2.0. Then if I have time, maybe a little MVP Baseball.

Hey, anybody know if fb2 will be shown at E3? Will there be a presentation or possibly even a playable demo?

ive always liked this one, but alas, i am used to playing game 2 (perpendicular beams) game 1 is much more challenging! 640

while i understand why breakout and circus atari will not be part of the fb2 collection, i guess i just want to know why it was decided that the original games could not be altered just to allow for joystick control. i keep hearing "real mccoy" and "original versions" and to me the important part of those statements is that the look and feel of the game is true to the original. if pong was written to accomodate joystick as well as paddle, why cant breakout be "edited" to do just the same? would that really destroy the integrity of the original? on a lighter note, what does anybody know about Wizard? i know its a proto, but whats this one about?

4250.... deathstar - alive, me dead

wow...nice look. Are you going to leave the front open or have a glass or plexi door? How did you do the logo? looks great

i like it...i play on my gba....cant quite earn a patch though....frustrating

WOW! video pinball....thx for that little leak....i am having fun speculating on the games that might make the cut. my wish list includes video pinball, along with phoenix, galaxian, and defender. i figure pac man is a longshot and space invaders is probably a no can do because of licencing issues...oh well this 2.0 seems to adress all my complaints about the first one when it came out. 1. not enough games 2. most are 2600 games, why did the unit and controllers look like 7800 3. 1/2 size controllers...why? my hands havent been shrinking since i was 12. 4. price a little high all of these seem to be taken care of. awsome job! i will be first in line for this thing!

ok wait a minute...you guys are ripping pac man and defender as i remember doing as a kid, but the thing i hated at the time was that they didnt look like the arcade versions. here are some games that suck faaaaaaarrrr worse. sea monster- this game not only utilizes only about 1/3 of the tv screen, but try..just try to identift any of the characters on the screen. add some of the choppiest gameplay ever and there you are. pac kong- i dont even know what its supposed to be. laser blast - this is actually a pretty cool game...if you like doing the same thing over and over and over and.... karate - not quite mortal combat

5038..... i think this score will end up on the dark side

changed my strategy a little.....31300

i got 6 out of 10 from the start position at the bottom. of my 4 misses.... all 4 were on the landing...never waited too long to jump. fun to try!

22300 this game is activision at its best, good choice. 1 thing i like to try is skipping the elevator the 1st time and trying to time my arrival on the third floor just as the crookgets there. also, why is he in prison stripes.....he hasnt been convicted yet.

i sucked 20 years ago at this one...and i suck now....4740

hey all, my 2600 jr just died last week and seems beyond repair. Also only about 10 out of my over 40 carts still work, so i have made the decision not to get a new one. (i may post a list of my working carts here soon if anyone is interested....i have nothing real rare) I play the emu games on my computer, but i was wondering who recommends the flashback console, or does anyone know what titles may be included in flashback II. I was at a friends house last week and played atari anthology on ps2...that is really well put together and has lots of titles, but alas, i have gamecube and there is no such product for it.
