  1. Thanks Lid. Only just pipped you. We're about 12 hours ahead down here in Western Australia. I went to bed this morning, after nightshift, fully expecting to wake up and find my time trounced by you! Well done and good luck to all remaining
  2. http://www.rfgeneration.com/ Has a phone app for easy collection listing on your phone.
  3. I use craft shop aerosol spray glue. I mask of the entire cart, except label area, with painters tape and then lightly sptay the required areas.
  4. Time Pilot - Game 1 B/B 35,300 Improvement. Challenging. Always the god damn UFOssss
  5. Time Pilot - Game 1 B/B 27,300 Played on: Retropie with original CX40 (via DB9 adaptor) Getting close to Lids score. Those flying saucers are kicking my ass. Soldier on. Never played this before. Quite impressed with the port considering.
  6. and here as well ... http://atariage.com/forums/topic/277061-fakerepro-venezuelan-2600-carts-on-ebay/?hl=+venezuela

  8. Good luck Lid. Never played this so looking forward to having a go. Might be a few days due to work! Game On
  9. I like the idea of Non-Activision and Homebrew patches. Especially No-Acto. That way, there is no confusion. Plenty of legendary Non-Acto games that have a viable difficulty level and relevant playablitiy to suit. Eg. Turmoil, Pole Position, Millipede, Defender/Stargate, Ms.Pac, Wizard Of War, Gravitar, Mouse Trap, Dragonfire, Q*bert .. and so on. Obviously game selection is important. Eg Gravitar is a perfect choice based on its difficulty and parameters imo, however this has also caused it to be loved and hated for the same reasons. However, imo, games like Pole Position, Millipede, Defender/Stargate, Q*bert are iconic and probably a more solid choice. Still nice to throw in some gr8 players that maybe not everyone knew about bitd. The AA Top 100 / Atarimania Top 100 and 2600 HSC would be your best mates. But what do I know?? Good luck.
  10. If I may steal your formatting KaeruYojimbo' ... Favorite games: Beamrider - Gr8 game. Excellent replay value. Taz - Smashed Asterix bitd and still love it 2day. Hence Taz was a no brainer. Pity I didn't have the cart or a cx40 adapter at the time of playing this gem on Week 15. Got both now though! Surprising games: River Raid II - Never played RRII ever, that was until Week 7. Pleasantly surprised .. after reading the manual that is! Challenging. Loved it. Went and got the cart because of HSC! Dark Cavern - Another game I've never played. I enjoyed the strategies and pre-emptive playing style required. Fun. Worst games: Space Jockey- #killmenow Red Sea Crossing - #yawn
  11. Likewise congrats to Leto and all who played. My 1st season of HSC. Came in at Week 4 ... and had some gr8 Atari fun! Big thx to Vocelli for keeping us rubbing our hands together for more #pewpew #bangbang #jumpandrun #duckanddodge Nice to meet you all
  12. Tunnel Runner - Game 1 B/B 1,583 Played on: Stella No damn time Put in a single game to at least post a score.
  13. Woo Hoo Obtained, probably, my personal 2600 Holy Grail. Asterix. Had it bitd when it was 1st released. Loved it then .. love it now. Gr8 old memories having sessions on this baby. The prices of these on fleebay are stupid imo, hence have been waiting and lurking. Scored a nice one at a good price from Italy. Game on!
  14. River Raid - Game 1 B/B 58,330 Played on: 'Vader' & CX40. PAL cart. Sadly could only put a score down 1/4 games last round. Nice to sit back in front of Mr Vader. Classic game! Nothing more to say. .
  15. Another vote for Fishing Derby and Indy 500 More-so for 2 players...... and beer
  16. Likewise. I'm a few off 200. I'd say around 160-170 was my threshold. I've been using the AA top 100 as the main player guide, as well as favs from bitd, and of course lubetube reviews. Also playing in the HSC reveals some personal gems. That allowed me to have a bigger want list.
  17. Gr8 game. Loved it bitd. Fastlane is also good fun. Timing, patterns and the use of the double lane changes. From memory, I usually clear the outta lane as much as possible at the start, then double lane change to get to the center and work my way out. Haven't played in ages and currently @work.
  18. Raft Rider - Game 1 B/B 21,517 Played on: Stella #nothingtoseeheremovealong
  19. Woo Hoo! After 30 years .. got me another copy of 2600 Asterix .. for a decent ebay $$, compared to the other stupid prices. Still cringed at the price though. An emotinal buy. Gr8 80's memories smashin' this little 2600 egg!

      Asterix, eh? Now that's one you don't hear about often!

      Yeh. Go figure. They deemed that Taz was not so relevant in Europe .. so went with Asterix? Pal .. Hence ended up down here. I remember liking the Asterix & Obelix books .. but the Tazy Devil seemed more relevant. Hindsight :) Either way ... Childhood memories!

      Down here meaning Oz.

  20. Got the 'Vader' new when it was released down here in OZ. Always known it as 'The 2600'.
  21. Night Driver - Game 2 B/A 68 Happy with that. Spewin' I'm away from home again .. hence couldn't give it a try on my Vader
  22. Night Driver - Game 2 B/A 61 Played on: Stella
