Qb 2600 Available for One Week Only!

[Qb 2600 Available for One Week Only!]

Awesome game! I've wanted this for quite a while and it doesn't disappoint. Thanks Al and Andrew!

[What rare 2600 games have you found in the wild?]

What rare 2600 games have you found in the wild?

How do you define "rare?"

 

Well, in any case, I snagged Submarine Commander and Racquetball today for $1.95 each.

[What is your favorite 2600 platformer?]

It's a tough call between Pitfall II and Fall Down, but I chose Fall Down because I haven't gotten it "figured out" as much as Pitfall II, if that makes any sense.

[What is your favorite 2600 Space Invaders type shooter?]

Demon Attack, though Phoenix and Spider Fighter are very close behind.

[Have you ever given up playing video games?]

Sometimes I won't play for a few weeks, but I've never really given up. Besides, homebrew games are just too fun to pass up .

[Do you have a blog?]

Ugh, blogs.....

[How many hours a week do you spend gaming?]

Less than 5 hours, because someone else is always hogging the TV and it's too much trouble to connect the VCS to the other one.

[I got one, lol. Now the fun begins!]

and any so-called 'adventure' games such as Pitfall and Pitfall 2 that have zero replay value.

 

You shall be beaten with the body of a dead scorpion for saying that .

[NES -> Atari 2600 port]

Man, oh man is this thread making me crave Metroid on the VCS, and I'm absolutely loving the music and the mock-ups.

[2005 AtariAge Holiday Sale and Holiday Cart!]

Waiting dutifully for my Fall Down, 2005 Minigame Multicart, and Reindeer Rescue..... I'm gonna have SO much fun with these!

[what game is your guilty pleasure?]

I quite like playing Star Ship on the 2600. I just think it's so fun!

[Boing2600! update]

Here's the updated version BTW!

In this version (AmigaBoing2_0.bin) you can:

 

- steer a little bit left/right.

- influence and even reverse gravity (up/down)

 

The spin and horizontal speeds are randomly changed on wall bounce.

I have also included an experimental flicker version.

The final version (not this version) will have an easter egg.

 

enjoy...

This one is awesome. The ball now bends to my will! MUAHAHAHA!!!

[What system do you play the most right now?]

My good ol' 2600, followed by the GBA.

[It Does Exist! Sears Superman Picture Label Scan As Promised]

Then again, most of my family thinks I'm crazy with the collection I have

Heh, so does mine.

 

 

*snip*

I'm not jealous . Funny version of one of my favorite songs, though .

[It Does Exist! Sears Superman Picture Label Scan As Promised]

I dont care whether its fake or real, you guys are F'ing NUTS!

$157 bucks already 2 hours into a 7 day auction for a label variation of a dirt-common game?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

Sheesh!

Annoying, isn't it?

[How many 2600 systems do you own?]

I don't really see the need for more than one, maybe two (and only if you don't know how to fix the other), systems. I have a 4-switch Woody and a Long-Rainbow Junior.

[What is the worst 2600 game you have played?]

I know it's a holy grail but Quadrun really stinks.

I happen to like Quadrun, and the voice only makes it better!

 

The worst one I've ever played is Skeet Shoot. I mean, heck, Fire Fly is more playable!

[A li'l game...kinda fishie...]

Oh, wow! This new version is excellent! I love the new music!

 

But yeah, it should be ready to go for OVGE.

 

Damn the fact I have no money and no way to go there.

[Friend's son gets pi$$ed off at Atari]

Hmmmm... I'm thirteen and play my 2600 more than my other systems... I love atari. I would much rather play it

Well, it's good to know there's another teenager on this forum. I'm fourteen and the Atari is pretty much all mine. My brother, however, tends to hate everything that has to do with Atari and has threatened to crush my cartridges, but he never does anything.

 

 

I hate sports games but RealSports Tennis for the 2600 rocks!

I prefer RealSports Volleyball.

[Nightmare ROM (2600)]

That's a neat little game! Music isn't too bad, either.

[The best EMU for the 2600? Best rom dump sites?]

I use TheOldComputer.com to get ROMs.

[Collecting the 2600, we'll we be cool in 30 yrs?]

We're cool?

857068[/snapback]

I was surprised also.

[Collecting the 2600, we'll we be cool in 30 yrs?]

Nope we won't be considered cool in 30 years. We'll be plaid golf pant wearing, colored socks only, grey haired, falsed teethed old men.

 

Sorry.

What about the teenagers collecting these things?

 

 

That was funny about Final Fantasy, Lord Thag.

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

I went to Game X Change on Sunday and got these 2600 titles for less than eight and a half bucks (Thank God for Buy 1 Get 1 Free):

 

Demon Attack (Text)

Yars' Revenge (Picture)

Skiing (Standard)

Chopper Command (Standard)

Grand Prix (Standard; defective so I'm returning it for RealSports Tennis)

Othello (Text)

Video Pinball (Lower-case Picture)

Target Fun (Text, Red font)

 

But, God dang it, there are so many games there I want, including one of those weird-label 1987 re-releases (but it's Home Run. Hmm.....).

[strange places to find atari stuff]

Ooh, neat. I just hope they're not keeping any rare ones there.
