VCS games definitely look better on CRT sets, especially since LCDs look wonky outside a certain range of viewing angles.
-
Ooh, this looks good. I'll definitely have to get a copy.
-
My rarest VCS game is Shuttle Orbiter.
-
Wow, wow, wow!

This is the greatest display of VCS badassery I've ever seen! You should be very proud.
-
DVD and VHS, though as NE146 said I could watch video CDs if I wanted to.

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 is GONE.
-
Airlock and Super Football are claimed.
-
I want to claim Wario Land 3 for gameboy. I'll post up something in the morning.I feel I should mention that Wario Land is actually the first in the Wario series (ie., not a GBC game), it's just titled as the third game in the Super Mario Land series. Do you still want it?
-
If they're still available, I claim the following:
Mirage1972's Dig Dug (VCS)
midnight magicman's Mario Bros. (VCS)
Christophero Sly's Pocket Fighter (PS1)
lgallair's Leather Nintendo chain wallet
In return, I offer:
Face Ball - Cart only, lower label corners slightly lifted (Game Boy)
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 - Cart only, near-pristine (Game Boy)
Daedalian Opus - Cart only, near-pristine (Game Boy)
Airlock - Cart only, highly creased label (VCS)
Super Football - Cart only, minor scuffs and very slight label tearing (VCS)
I will send PMs tomorrow morning.

Hi guys,Yeah, i've noticed that as well. $20 bucks for Pac-man for the 2600. That's highway robbery!!
Anthony....
I once saw a Pac-Man cart going for 5 cents short of $50(!!!). It didn't sell, obviously, and the worst part is that the seller probably didn't learn their lesson.

Star Fire's title screen is very cool, with great music to boot!
EDIT: How could I forget Go Fish!? That's what made me really fall in love with the VCS's animation abilities. And the music was kickass. I'd say that an attract mode certainly endears a game more to me, but I really prefer music (and then there's Lead, which has the best of both worlds).

Even if you could do something useful with it,Isn't there a text file somewhere that gives you Basic Programming versions of Mario Kart, Pitfall, etc.? I'm know I've seen it before, but I can't for the life of me remember the title or the author's name.
Yep, it's here: http://www2.gvsu.edu/~brittedg/BasicProgramming.txt
Thank you so much! I've been looking to try some of those programs out myself.
-
Still, you'd have to type it in. Done that for the Commodore VIC-20 and Commodore 64 when I used to buy magazines like Compute. At least you could save what you typed in. When you can't save what you type in, it feels like you're trying to hold water in a strainer or trying to walk up a down escalator that is moving faster than you can climb.I'm not saying you're wrong, but is this really that much of a problem with Basic Programming? I mean, the longest a program for it can (reliably) be is 64 characters, and you have to exploit a glitch to get the last two! Personally, 64 characters is quite manageable, even with volatile memory.
-
You couldn't even get close to remotely-almost-kinda-sorta-maybe replicating the gameplay for those, even in a extremely watered down way.Yeah, well, I thought that was kinda the point anyway.

Two or three inches on the ground, but nothing to cancel school over.
-
Never mind. After a lot of trouble with the thing, I've decided to get a refund for it.
-
My Odyssey 500 just got delivered today and it powers up just fine. The knobs, switches, and beeper all work, but I can't get the actual players to appear on the screen no matter what I do. The screen just shows the playfield, ball, and two "W" scores. Perhaps I'm forgetting something? Also, does anyone have/know where I could find scans of the manual?
-
E.T. on the VCS is pretty much awesome.
-
Wow, did my hand ever hurt after playing. Fun game, though. I got to the 14th and choked on those infernal monster trucks
. However, the music is AWESOME. -
Has anyone had any problems with Lady Bug on a 2600 Jr.?
-
There are a lot of people who don't like RPGs, but those that do tend to like Pokemon if they give it a try.*raises hand*
-
I don't have Lady Bug yet, but I really want it. Also, it would be worth it to buy X3V0LuX just for the awesome storyline in the manual (not to mention Astroblast is fun anyway).
-
Platform - Honestly, I like Sunshine the best.
Sports - Never played any.
Puzzle - Dr. Mario all the way!!
Kart - Mario Kart: Super Circuit (the Japanese version, actually).
RPG - Superstar Saga is pretty neat.

Video Chess level 7
in Atari 2600

I have to wonder, has anyone ever played a full game of Video Chess on level 7? If so, how many of these freaks are there and how long did their games last?
