  1. I use a Elmer's glue stick. Works great.
  2. Maybe this was a present and the person giving the game couldn't peal the tag off, so the person just ripped it off?
  3. Having an issue with the Driver installation. Windows keeps saying "The last USB device malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it". I have tried multiple times with different cords and same result.
  4. I have never noticed that. But, in some games, the joy stick acts as the fire button.
  5. I use the Colleco Gemini controller alot. My family had(I have it now) the Gemini system back in the early/mid 80's, so that was the controller I grew up with. I almost prefer this system to the VCS, even though I have a Jr. hooked up now.
  6. With everyone using this card for homebrews, I wouldn't be surprised if, one day, this is the actual price for this cart.
  7. Wow. I have never had a problem with Activision carts. Some of the ones I play was bought brand new and got alot of play time. Like Stampede. My dad, me, and my brother played that game ALOT back in the day and it still works great today. I guess I must be lucky. Now the M Network cart of Burger Time I got for Christmas like 2 years ago I can't get to work at all, even after multiple cleanings.
  8. I heard you can plug your 2600 into a VCR, then hook that up to a HDTV and that should work. I haven't tried it yet to see if it actually works.
  9. We didn't have an NES, but did have a Coleco Gemini that got a ton of play time in the 80's. A neighbor kid across the street used to bring his NES over so we could play. My brother really wanted an NES, but ended up getting a 2600 Jr. for his birthday. So, that got some play time. Not long after, a NES did come and the 2600 was put away. In the late 90's, my little sister started playing the 2600, while we played SNES, N64, etc. Then, about 6 years ago, I brought the 2600 back out and started collecting for it, so it is loved once again, even with a PS5 and a Switch in the house. Intellivision, Colecovision, Odyssey 2, and the 7800 has since joined it. But, yeah, for a time, the 2600 was played during the beginning of the NES years growing up, because that was all we had.
  10. I still play Pac-Man, Asteroids, Atlantis, Pitfall, Frogger, and many more.
  11. A little late, but I hope everyone had a safe and merry Christmas.
  12. For those of us in the USA, I hope everyone had a happy and safe Thanksgiving. I know I did.
  13. The 2600 was the "better" version. I grew up playing a Coleco Gemini and even that felt like a cheap knockoff at the time. Now, I almost prefer the Gemini and want a Sears console.
