I don't play it as much as I should, but yes... Damn fine feat of programming and fun too!

Easily the best for the 2600.

while I wouldn't say it is the best game, it certainly is technically impressive (though I'd say the sweat prototype tops it) and an all round good game,

No kidding, I didn't realize he was that old. Great actor, will be missed.

Can't go wrong with Full Metal Jacket.

R.I.P.

All great games that are still fun today, 'cept for Fire Fighter IMO.

That sure beats picking up crappy games for expensive.

Can't beat that! Funny to think that BITD those'd be $20-$30 each!

I swear it's not what it looks like! I had no idea that was your dog! =O

Achtung! Yes, the singen the sounden vigashiznu and a shnachdog hog hunden and the Red Baron! After the turn of the century, in the clear blue skies over Germany..

Errrr...? I have a feeling I don't know what is going on here...

The durability of the lubricating surface coating is the #1 issue. Metal oxide is not very slick by nature. Some brands have been very reliable and some went to crap after a few years.

So what y'all saying is pour some KY on them and they should run fine.

Use a rolling head that doesn't slide. Thus no friction.

Darn that sucks... maybe i should code one that does on my Oregon Trail Engine (OTE)...

You have a TI-99 or a decent computer, right?

Is that the one that tells you to invoke the character's name first, as in "Scott, beam me up!" (not "beam me up, Scotty!")

Kobayashi Alternative?

I have a TI-99/4A, a Apple II+, a Commodore Vic-20, and a TS 1000. I think they are all decent. And Flojomojo, its that one and the Promethean Prophecy

Over here I'm mixing old and new power supplies and generally I don't see any difference on function or quality as long as the supplies match the spec regarding volt and of course ampere. Perhaps you have "dirty" power that makes cheap switching PSUs unbehave?

Yeah, I had a feeling it was one of the new third-party supplies. The ones I've seen are light and flimsy and feel as if they're made out of paper. Newer supplies of higher quality should work as well as the originals; the challenge is to find them. Glad the genuine Atari supply fixed the problem.

Amazing that electronics work when they're in spec..!

But I have nowhere to put any arcade machines.

You need this sign

That didn't work very well lol

"I'm a Dolly, bread and butter"

Horse and carriage.

Pan y agua.

Excellent port. I have more fun playing it than I do the version on the PS3. Little bit of lag. Much too much too much.

Yes.

Also yes.

That's pretty funny actually... LOL

A 4 year old on meth could've created a better game

See here:

It's one of those games I have Now, but I haven't actually gotten around to trying it out. I've kind of got a lot of stuff like that haha...

And "Reactor TB" with true Trak-Ball control is even greater IMHO.

(Late reply I like Reactor (Had it BITD, traded it, got it again)...Got Coconuts at the Pawn Shop a while back, but haven't cleaned it or tried it yet...

I dunno, Coconuts isn't a bad game, just a bit slow.

Let's start a thread in the Atari 2600 forum!

"New Fairchild Console that Channel F Mini?"

I'm waiting for the HD edition of the Studio II, this time with extra sturdy buttons to push.

Sign me up!

I like "Hunchy II". We played it in the 2600 HSC this year.

Hunchy II is spectacular and surprisingly challenging.

Sounds Great!

LOL

Somehow I'm reminded of a friend BITD playing Demon Attack while listening to Dr. Demento and saying the demon birds were now singing "Bra Size 45".

I think it's a decent looking 2600 game as well.

Definitely!

What did you get?

LG G5, so not newest but new to me.

Done with Br0derbund's Arcade Machine.

He was a great Bond but was stuck in some of the goofiest of all the Bond movies. Live And Let Die was awesome, though. And The Man With The Golden Gun.

Total classic. I love the steadycam trench walk early on in the film.

Great movie.

Turn my hearing aids off. It's what I do when I hear bag pipes anyway, they sound like someone's torturing a banshee.

I'd make you drink well-used toilet water.

lol@Trekker

I have Definitely been there...

There every day!

I changed jobs partly because of that very issue. I was working part-time for the Army as a student, and I could have gone full-time once I graduated, but I had learned enough about the job to know it would have been a mundane, mind-deadening existence. I left and started teaching a few years later, and even though I probably walked away from a lot more money, I've never regretted it.
