My card arrived and as I was checking the roms included (to make sure the cart is working) only two work, Ace of Aces and Choplifter. When checking for others I'll sometimes get the Atari splash screen then various squares. Nothing looks like a game or NTSC/PAL screen rolling. Is that normal? I'm going to check the Vectrex cart I ordered.

I found one on eBay but passed since it was $20+. I have a Ball Blazer cart and was going to check some local computer repair places next.

It's funny seeing the right hand love. The first arcade games usually offered buttons on either side of the joystick so I was a right handed player. Games like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, etc forced a change. Man I had my ass handed to me for so long...by kids far too often. Never really got my timing right for fighters...

There's one less now;)

How much did you pay for the last game you bought?
syn replied to Rhindle The Red's topic in Poll Forum
Wow, were you right. It had potential but the game play...yuck! -
I'm in but I want all your projects! Don't forget to vote everyone! It's fine to say you want one, voting gives him a easier way to gauge interest.

Sold: Modified Atari 7800 system and games.
syn replied to guitarmas's topic in Buy, Sell, and Trade
Bummer, I was pretty interested. -
I joked about having a glass coffin made so I could take my collection and have it displayed. That was a few years ago.

I don't know about most of you guys but I get spare consoles (accidents happen unfortunately) just incase something like this occurs. I'd sure take the chance as the odds on in your favor.

Was the Atari 2600 your first video game system?
syn replied to Rhindle The Red's topic in Poll Forum
The 2600 was my first. My stepmother bought her son a Pong game but I rarely got to play it. I beat him twice in a row so he wouldn't play me anymore. -

I'm interested not sure what to offer. -
Edited lead sentence, Problems with Yurkie. On 7-22 he said "I have your Colecovision finished." On 8-9 "Sorry I have been super busy. I will get it out to you in the next day or two." On 8-29 "I'll ship it tomorrow when I get home" On 8-31 "Priority (tracking number)" He can't drop it off at the postoffice apparently. I really hope I get my system back based on his customer service. If I were to every use him again, I'd ask a lot of questions to make sure he can do the mods in a timely fashion. I was so excited for this...very disappointing so far. EDIT 9-17 My console arrived and I'm very pleased with Yurkie's work. The mods look good on the screen and on the console itself, very professional job. Another member contacted me saying he was going through the same thing with Yurkie while I was. I think it was just a series of unfortunate circumstances that happened to the both of us and nothing intentional...it happens. I still felt it should be mentioned.

I'm in the process of ordering one of these (and the Vectrex multi) right now. Looking forward to adding both and can't wait. Edit Thanks for that link Trebor!!!

Are CRT-style scan lines important to you?
syn replied to Flojomojo's topic in Classic Console Discussion
i voted other. I own a few CRTs and a lcd but will play consoles on any of the sets. Most of my old systems are modded with composite, s-video, component or VGA and look different on any set I use than I remember, lol. I just haven't encountered a game that would help me choose a preference. -
I played Death Race a few times back in the day so Death Chase is a more than welcome addition to my collection.

Where Did You Get Your First Atari 2600 and What Type Was it?
syn replied to TheAtarianGuy's topic in Atari 2600
1978 from Highland Appliance, a heavy sixer iirc. My birthday is in September so I conned my father into doing a b day/Christmas gift. I ended up playing more at a friend's house since I hardly had any games. His dad liked playing so they always seemed to have new games. -

syn replied to Rhindle The Red's topic in Poll Forum
Well then I'm glad it wasn't too much. -
I have a light sixer and a flashback 2 with a cart slot. I also have a 7800 and a 2600 expansion module for a Colecovision. I'm hopefully getting my modded Colecovision back soon. My 7800 is also out being modded.

My girlfriend got a good laugh out of it. It plays well.

$17.95 shipped for a new Mat Mania Challenge. I own the arcade versions and wanted to try the 7800s offering. -
I love how "cnut" is complimentary down under. I intentionally mispelled it since the rest of the world has an issue it.

You'll probably want to try sending a pm too. Last I heard from him, he's really busy atm.
