I have to update that I purchased the 2/3 size Arcade1up machine of Defender (with 11 other games). It almost hit the spot. For now I'm going to replace it's control panel with one that more authentically represents the arcade and stick a raspberri pi in it so it is closer to the actual arcade machine in how it works.

Sorry if this is a retread because it makes sense that it would have come up before but I didn't find anything in the search option so I figured I'd go ahead. Has anybody made aftermarket end labels for the 8-bit computer catridges like they have for the 5200, SNES, N64 and Jaguar to cover up thos Left Cartridge ends with the game name? images.jfif

I can't seem to find any record of it existing but I remember clearly playing a bar top River Raid at my mom's work The Blue Goose Inn when I was a kid in St. Clair Shores, Michigan.

I have a wierd issue with my roller controller. It works perfectly fine on Slither, but the buttons become almost completely unresponsive for Centipede. To me this makes hardly any sense at all. It's baffled me for years.

The Redemption is basically the same thing as what Bohoki does except he often ads a start button. I use original, and two bohoki adapters for my 2 makopads... I don't like the angle the makopads dpad is on though. I look forward to trying other solutions when I'm no longer broke.

So, as a kid I used to have Frogger 2. It was one of my favorite 2600 games. At one point I think I accidentally knocked it onto the floor and stepped on it in middle school. A few weeks ago I wanted to get another copy and was discouraged by how high it was priced on ebay. I ended up finding a copy that had a really crappy label for a lot cheaper than the other offerings. It had what looked like coffee stains, tears, and a name written on it in black sharpie. Sorry about the poor image quality, it is from the original auction photo. I restored it using a rubbing alcohol wipe to remove the name (don't try this on a regular printed label it will remove the ink from that... I used it on the metallic part) a silver sharpie to make all other corrections. I then cleaned it up nicely... check out the restored version.

no doubt! I do hope that the XG-1 works on the C64.. that would be cool, although it may not... I saw one site that said it didn't but that was translated from German so who knows.

okay, I saw this Amiga lightgun by actionware on ebay. It's still live: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Commodore-Amiga-Actionware-Light-Gun-Gray-Phaser-/272807926381?hash=item3f849e9a6d:g:NrAAAOSwutpZlGZK The gun looks exactly the same as my xg-1 lightgun. It even looks like there is red left from a peeled Atari sticker. Also, note the insane price (dunno... seller may just be delirious). I read somewhere that Actionware often repurposed and resold nintendo zappers with their lightgun games. I haven't seen evidence of this, but it sure as heck looks like that is what they did with the xg1 here. Now I'm wondering if the xg1 works on the Amiga and C64 or if there is some mod done to the guns. I have a c64 and I love lightgun games so having it work on another computer would be a plus. I'm also thinking... heck... maybe I should just do the mod and sell my xg1 for 120 bucks on ebay lol (okay not really but there may be others that might want to).

What I'd like to see is a conversion module that connects into the cartridge port that takes 5200 and 7800 games. It would come with a controller that has a D-Pad and an analog thumbstick as well as two buttons, start, pause select and a numpad. Extra controllers available for purchase. Subsequently they could also even release an intellivision and colecovision conversion module using the same controller design. I'd be in heaven!

I dig it a lot myself.

I just wanted to write a quick blog entry here to show my intention of acquiring a Defender Arcade cabinet someday. This game means to me more than I can properly convey. My younger brother Joey, and I (he much more than I) played for countless hours on the Defender cabinet that they had on the pediatrics floor of St. John's Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. Defender is a really complex game which really takes a lot of practice to get good at. Joey was really great at that game despite often having to adjust his technique because of where his IV was on any given day. Cystic Fibrosis took him away from us when he was 10. He wasn't able to grow up, graduate high school or get married and have kids, but he was a wizard at Defender.

done, in the least ceremonious of ways... lol as you can see in the pic... half of my Carts are not that pretty.

I have 23 of the 69 5200 games. Here they are: 1 Berzerk 2 Blue Print 3 Centipede 4 Countermeasure 5 Defender 6 Galaxian 7 Gyruss 8 Kangaroo 9 Keystone Kapers 10 Missile Command 11 Pac-Man 12 Pengo 13 Pole Position 14 Qix 15 Real Sports Baseball 16 Real Sports Tennis 17 River Raid 18 Robotron 2084 19 Space Dungeon 20 Space Invaders 21 Star Raiders 22 Super Breakout 23 Wizard of Wor

My 7800 game list isn't very impressive yet. I have two systems that aren't currently working which is unfortunate since I really like playing Centipede cooperatively with my daughter and the 7800 port of Centipede is the only one that does this. I really love Robotron and Kung Fu Master as well and look forward to trying out all of the other 7800 games at some point. 1 Tomcat 2 Robotron 2084 3 Pole Position II 4 Xevious 5 Kung Fu Master 6 Double Dragon 7 Asteroids 8 Centipede

This is the gaming youtube channel I started with my daughter. We are taking a break until I pass my nursing boards. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_rvmpMzox7UJ0Qwxu0CzGA

I have Keystone Kapers and Wizard of Wor for the 5200, so I'm familiar with those. I am very fond of Wizard of Wor. I will probably nab all of the other ones at some point. I just nabbed Battlezone and repurchased Frogger II: Threedeep yesterday (I had it as a kid but I think I might have stepped on it or something.

I'm sick of people saying that someone is sexist for just not thinking this movie comes close to the original. It's okay... I think it's slightly better than Ghostbusters II but not much. If they wouldn't have moved the dance scene to the credits (at least thank heavens for that) GB II would have come out on top. I think the fact that it is still nowhere near as good as the original and the fact that it exists essentially tries to decimate the reality of the original is enough for me to wish it didn't come into existence.

I'm nearing the 100 game mark for my Atari 2600 vcs collection. I'm not someone that collects for money or value other than my own enjoyment, gameplay fun and nostalgia.
