I always associate "Eye of the Tiger" with those male gymnasts that twirl those things...yeah...not that good of a picture. I find that the rocky theme song, or the Mortal Kombat theme get the adrenaline pumping pretty good. ok..maybe not mortal kombat so much...or the rocky theme song either... you know what, nevermind.

I just beat adventure on game 2 for the first time...took me about 30 minutes and i'm going to go play game 3 right now.

If anyone on here lives in Pinellas County, Florida, where do you buy your atari stuff at? I've been to all the thrift shops around me, and the flea markets are horribly overpriced.

1. Adventure 2. Harry 3. Hold reset down while turning on the game 4. David Crane, and IDk 5. Activision, Colecovision, and Mattel?

Does the chord that comes out of the atari, the video chord, have any sharp bends, smashed points, or exposed wires anywhere, especially on the male end?

Mine has a lot of static too, and the colors run and the audio is very low. When the static gets too much though, I tap the system lightly on the "ribs" part, and a few of those usually clears up the picture.

Thread over. Beerfest? And, I didn't know game 3 was always random, thanks.

The third socom for psp is called tactical warfare. It is a tactics game meaning you can not move freely, only attack and hope you hit the enemy.

How do you know the name of the joysticks you use (CX-40)? One joystick that came with my light sixer, doesn't turn right, and the other one the button doesn't work every time you push it. The genesis controller works on my light sixer for a couple minutes then stops, but works on my flashback 2. So I use the flashback 2 controllers, CX-42 I think. Oh and another question if anyone feels like answering it, how much does a heavy sixer weigh?

I know that a lot of you love the game Adventure. I Just wanted to know what you guys find fun about it after beating it so many times that you've lost count? Sorry if this sounds mean, im just curious.

socom(3 for psp), rainbow six vegas, splinter cell(if you consider it an army game) theres probably more still

I just tried it, and it seems to have worked.

I've had my atari 2600 for a little over a month now, and the picture that shows up on the tv is really fuzzy. I can lightly tap it and the screen will usually clear most of the way up, and sometimes fully, but i'm scared that even how lightly i'm tapping it, that it can hurt the system. It is a light sixer, is there anyway I can easily fix this problem?

DragonmasterDan, yours is a lightsixer.

On my atari flashback 2 console, when I select "asteroids deluxe", it takes me to missile command, when I select missile command, it takes me to missile command. Is this normal? UPDATE: found new problems adventure 2 redirects to video chess secret quest produces a blue screen and high pitched noises lunar lander produces a blue screen and high pitched noises yars return is unplayable, everything is distored fatal run produces a blue screen and high pitched noises space duel redirects to a glitchy human cannonball off the wall produces black screen no sound radar lock produces a blue screen and high pitched noises save mary produces a blue screen and high pitched noises and of course astreroids delux redirects to missile command all of these games are completely unplayable, but the few games that redirect to a different game, i can play the game that it had redirected to. i hear the voice in quadrun though... ...does anyone else have these problems?

Ha, wow, can't believe i missed that, thanks.

I've played the 2600 version of asteroids for years on emulators, and never messed around too much with the game variations. Now that I have a real atari, and an asteroids cartridge, I have been playing it a lot, and put it on the game variation to where pressing back doesn't do a hyperspace, because I am still not used to the atari joystick. Well while playing this variation, I got hit by a UFO, and all the blocks turned green(and me), I couldn't move, or fire. Eventually a block hit me and I was able to fire and move again. Is this supposed to happen, or is it some sort of glitch? I've never seen it before.

Thanks for the replies, it makes since that coming with a nice box and manual would raise its price, not how the game plays. Some other systems, people will price the game on how many people want it, so I was just making sure.

If i buy a homebrew game from atariage, does money go to the developer? Also, why are some games more expensive than others, the games that were $40 got worse ratings than some at $25.

I know about the high score forums, but I mean flash versions of arcade games are built in to some forums. I thought that would be a good idea for the atariage forums.

I'm posting here, because I am not really sure where else to post it. Please move it if it is in the wrong section. A lot of forums have an arcade section for their site, with high score boards and games like Asteroids, Space Invaders, etc. It seems like this site would be perfect for an arcade section like this. Just a suggestion.

Maybe a home-made cartridge? I don't know how hard that would be to do.

nevermind

I'm thinking of buying an atari 2600. Would spending $50 for a Jr. be a better deal than spending over $100 for an original (EDIT: I see they have 4-switch 2600's for $60 at atari2600.com)? Or does the Jr. have horrible compatibility?

I got mine modded like that by Ben Heckendorn for a very reasonable price and he did it very quickly. See the following post: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=112267 Give him a try. how did you get in to contact with him?
