Video Game shops in your town that sell Atari 2600
TheHoboInYourRoom replied to slosu's topic in Atari 2600
Well, in Springfield, IL I know that Game X Change and Recycled Records sell VCS games. I haven't tried any other places, though. -
Okay, I put these items up for claiming: Sony Playstation Breakout - manual included, crack on case's front, disc in good condition Reboot - manual included, small crack on case's front, disc in good condition Game Boy Advance Banjo-Kazooie Grunty's Revenge - cart only, good label, PCB's pins are clean Kao the Kangaroo - cart only, good label, PCB's pins are clean

Thanks for the links, NE146, cool stuff, but I was really wondering about human players trying to beat the VCS on level 7; are there any accounts of that?

TheHoboInYourRoom replied to Albert's topic in Atari 2600
The book arrived today and I am overjoyed! This is incredibly good stuff! Great job, guys! -
How does the game generally differ from ordinary chess at those levels?
-
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?
-
VCS games definitely look better on CRT sets, especially since LCDs look wonky outside a certain range of viewing angles.

why Do ebay stores Overprice every atari 2600 game
TheHoboInYourRoom replied to zach1845's topic in Auction Central
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. -
Which Atari 2600 Games Have the Best Title Screens?
TheHoboInYourRoom replied to Random Terrain's topic in Atari 2600
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). -
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.
-
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.
-
Yeah, well, I thought that was kinda the point anyway.

Are you getting buried in snow like I am?
TheHoboInYourRoom replied to Rhindle The Red's topic in Poll Forum
Two or three inches on the ground, but nothing to cancel school over.
