Nope. The 5200 Controller is the primary controller for console and it’s used for every game. The Star Raiders Video Touch Pad is used for ONE game. Out of hundreds of games. That makes the CX21 a 4tier controller because the CX40s are used for the vast majority of games on the system and next the paddles and then the standard Keyboard Controllers because there are at least multiple games that use them. The CX21 and Driving Controllers are used for one game. Best Electronics would ever sell enough of them to pay for the R&D to produce them. It’s a losing proposition. I suppose you would also want a Gold Lifetime Encoder Wheel Driving Controller while we are making lifetime replacements. Just buy another one and hope for the best. 🤷🏻

I am assuming that you know about the Harmony and Harmony Encore. You just want a version of those with RGB out like the 7800 GD. Because the Harmony Products are solid other than not offering the RGB out component.

Yes, welcome to the party. This has been in development for 3+ years.

Multicarts with an OS/Booting on-screen menus do not work with the Atari 2600+. The Harmony cart will work in developer mode for 2600 games, which basically removes the Harmony menu system and flashes a single game rom to the card, thus it's no longer a multicast until you put the Harmony OS back on it. The Dragonfly cart will work for 7800 games because it loads the ROM from an on-cart screen menu and then you turn on the 7800 the 2600+ dumps the ROM. Unfortunately this was a limited run Cart that is no long available.

So are we watching "A Perfect 14" on the 2600 on the show tomorrow night? 😉

I would love to add this box variation to my collection. Was it primarily distributed in EUR PAL?

Don’t tell him that. Now he is gonna go cry in a corner. 🤣😂

Nice, thanks for the update. I have expressed interest here and added my name to the unofficial list here but also added my email to your store today. Very excited to try this crazy thing that everyone wants and no one really needs.

I think that option ended long ago. When did @juansolo do the build your own option. I thought that tep quit offering them mainly because of supply and sourcing reasons. 🤷🏻

Nearly all of these have NTSC conversions already. They are in the Rom Hunters ROM Archive. World End doesn't But most of the others already do. You just haven't looked very hard. They have been available for years in his ROM archive. --- Actually, I just checked and there is a ROM named - The End Of The World in the collection so I think all of them have been done. Just download the 19.0 version for AtariMania.

I don’t know. It just looks like someone who didn’t take care of their stuff. Mine is very clean. No price tag in sight.

I just had ANOTHER successful transaction with @eightbit. I bought a new 2600 game. It was packed well, shipped promptly, and arrived safe and sound. Thanks again.

They should also show a picture of the manual in the product picture. Atari's last two standard releases, Berzerk and Mr. Run and Jump don't include manuals so I think people will just assume these other releases are not going to come with manuals when they are not listed in the product description or shown in the pictures unlike the "Limited Edition" versions of Mr. Run and Jump, Fatal Run 2600, Outlaw, etc.

Well, they should probably update their product listing because all of their standard editions state that they only come with box and cart. The limited edition offerings the product details say Game Cartridge and Instructions. 🤷🏻

I still don't understand the philosophy of not including manuals in these re-releases.

I entered this community in 2016. And immediately started buying homebrews from Al in the AA Store. The homebrew scene has exploded since then. With the advent of multiple 7800 multicarts the 7800 scene really took off. I am thankful that I had been buying “ports” here a little and there a little all along the way. Every year I noticed the orders taking a little longer to ship. Which I had no problem with. From early on I understood that the AA Store was a one man show. Many people had no clue that something so big as the AA Store was a one man show. So I would constantly see people on the AA FB group that basically were complaining after a two week wait. I always replied that in the instant gratification world of Amazon Prime we have become very impatient. My first reply to these complaints were that it was a one man show and not Prime. Literally every game was built to order for the most part. When the Last Chance Sale was announced I didn’t have to make hard choices. There were basically 6 ports that I had passed on originally because of other games that I wanted more. I basically ordered about the same of games that I usually ordered each year. I knew this announcement was going to bring people out of the woodwork. People who had never ordered for whatever reason were having to make difficult decisions to be able to pay for large orders. I remember a particular person stating that he was not going to pay his rent on time and was going to be subject to some serious service charges because he just had to have all these games that he had just always assumed would be there. This kind of choice was inconceivable to me. But even more new people entered the scene with the Last Chance Sale announcement. Again, this was primarily people who didn’t understand how the AA Store operated. Even with Al’s multiple email updates some of these people had no concept of the sheer amount of games that Al was going to have to deal with for the Last Chance sale and this was on top of the upcoming new PRGE releases that he also needed to focus on and build. I can’t imagine the stress and pressure that this placed on him. In the end everyone is gonna get their Last Chance games. People just need to be patient. The other problematic situation that this delay creates is all of the even more NEW people that the 2600+ has brought to the scene. As those of us who ordered games in June and July start getting our orders and post our mail calls all of these newbies don’t understand what that have missed out on from discovering these games way to late and make posts complaining that they can’t get these new/old games. It’s a very frustrating situation.

It might be Shark Attack which is essentially the same game with the bug fix that CPUWIZ mentioned above, but there is no way that it is Lochjaw with the green PCB and masked rom.

I think you have a LATE version of Shark Attack and not Loch Jaw. Apollo used Eproms in their early releases. It wasn't until later on that they used masked ROMs. Loch Jaw was recalled and discontinued very quickly and renamed Shark Attack after the Universal Studios lawsuit. That is why it is so rare.

I would have to disagree. This is not an authentic LochJaw. I have an authentic moving cloud variation Loch Jaw and all early Apollo games used White PCBs. it’s hard to see in this picture but the PCB is White and not green. As a matter of fact I think nearly all of my Apollo carts have white PCBs. Even my Guardian which was their last retail release before they folded and had a very limited distribution has a white PCB. What makes you think it’s LochJaw and not Shark Attack? But even then my early release and late release Shark Attacks have white PCBs and not green PCBs.

So they paid Garry to write a crappier version of DK so that people would buy a ColecoVision because it was better. Why did Coleco even bother making games for a competing console? Why do that? Doesn't make economic sense. They made 2600 versions of games because the 2600 was a monster system that some many people had adopted early and some people weren't gonna buy ANOTHER video game system. You are comparing apples to oranges in this case. The original DK was 4k. 4k. This is 32k. There are more advanced programming techniques that have been developed over the DECADES. If Garry had been given more space he might have been able to do a little bit more with the game. You can believe that they built a crappy version for the 2600 and I can believe that they did the best that they could do at the time with the resources and system constraints.

Let me guess. You’re new here. You should probably google some Garry Kitchen interviews. With your opinion your trying to tell me that the guy that programmed Keystone Kapers and Pressure Cooker made a terrible game on purpose. 🙄

@pboland I have sent 2-3 people your way from FB. I don't know if they are dropping my name or not but there have been a few people looking for replacement labels. I told them they could waste their time and money with the garbage that is on eBay & Etsy or they could come to you.

If it has an analog tuner then this is the least expensive and simplest solution if you just want to connect it without modding. https://www.amazon.com/VCE-Adapter-Connector-Coaxial-Commodore/dp/B08BYD8GV4/ref=sr_1_3?crid=23SAP8H9OZ2NU&keywords=rf+to+coax+adapter&qid=1704582831&sprefix=rf+to%2Caps%2C208&sr=8-3
