LYNXGUY

The problem I have with joysticks is the little round metal disc that is supposed to be dome shaped is flat and that makes the movement alot harder.

I currently live in a small town in P.A. and I can't find diddley but I am originally from Cleveland Ohio and you can go into any thrift store and find Atari 2600 stuff all the time.

I had that problem with my 2600 and I bought a new switch box and it didn't work so I bought another new switch box and that worked and I got both of them from Radio Shack, weird huh ?? You might have a faulty channel switch or a short in the wire going to the switch box or maybe not, just a few ideas that's all.

I remember that too, Am I that old too ???

YES, YES, YES Home Run and Footbal and Basketball were the worst.

My best friend had the same problem and it turned out to be the power supply. I hope this helps

Hey DarkLord , I thank you and my best friend thanks you and we can't wait to start playing the game again.

An email is on the way, thanks

Yeah I need a copy of the manual if possible

I tried to hook my Lynx up to a TV and a VCR thru the comlynx port and the Lynx would appear to shut off (blank screen) and yes I did have a game in the Lynx. Does anyone have any ideas how I can do this ??

I have 2 Lynx II's and I cannot remember why they don't work and I would like to send them somewhere for repairs, any ideas where I might send them ??

My best friend and I had a menu creator system by Walt Load (or Lord)and all you had to do is use a joy stick or keyboard to choose what game you want to load. We had a few different menu systems but I can't remember the names right now. One system had numbers next to the game and all you had to to was press the number corrisponding to the game. If Pac-Man was Number 3 then we pressed #3 on the keyboard. If this is what you are looking for I will be visiting him in 2 weeks and I will copy them for you.

I remember preppie 1 and 2 and if I recall I did pretty well on those games too.

I have 2 ATARI fonts on my PC and I could email them to you, if you want you can send me a PM with your email addy.

The ones I remember and used are. . . . . DOS XL DOS 2 DOS 2.5 DOS 3 RANA SMART DOS

My buddy and I were given a bunch of diskettes with games & programs on them that were in DOS 3 format. I don't like DOS 3 and any DOS is better than DOS 3

Are you making fonts on the Atari computer or do you want an Atari font for your PC ??

I remember that and if I am not mistaken my buddy still has that on a floppy.

I like DOS 2.5 because it can read DOS 3.0 format as well as DOS 2.0 and DOS XL. I also like Rana Smart DOS because you can easily go from single density to double density and also format in either density.

Looking for the .ATR file for States & Capitals and any help would be appreciated.

I will email my buddy and I am sure he will do it because it will only take a few minutes to do. I will let you know when I am ready to send it to you and then you can send me a PM with your addy.

My best friend and I went to a goodwill store and we found an ATARI 800 for $15 and all it neded was a power supply and my best friend and I split the difference and got one.

My best friend CHRIS has that game on a 5 1/4 inch floppy and if it helps I could try to get him to copy it for you if you want.

Hey miker why so mad I only typed what I believe is true and I am not and I don't claim to be an Atari know it all I just don't know everything Atari, I know alot but not everything thanks for the info anyway, I always learn something new whenever I log onto this site. There are probably hundreds of games for the 8bit that I am not aware of It'is a surprise to me that there is an 8 bit game that uses a mouse Where would one buy a mouse when Shanghai or Operation Blood came out ?? I wasn't aware that atari made a mouse until I bought an ST. When was the 8 bit mouse made public, I never seen it anywhere
