Very good question !

This is the biggest and most ridiculous retailer/distributor sticker i've seen on a console box ! That said, thanks for the pics ! 👍

I use a Sony KV-X2583B 25'' CRT TV with my PAL light 6er (svideo/composite modded) and Atari 2600 Junior PAL (original model with composite output on scart, right out of the box).

It's not a sword, it's a spear !

I just looked at your linked page and read on it that there was a 64K educational cart released in Brazil , for a clone 2600 console I guess ... I was unaware of that !

But !!! Why the hell did they stick the price tag on the front label ?

Jolie finition / Nice Finish

French Atari 2600 owner here French Atari 2600 owner here I confirm. My woody CX-2600 S was built in Sunnyvale too. That's not the case of later Secam models like CX-2600 AS (Ireland) and CX-2600 GP (Taiwan).

Considering your nice avatar picture, i'm surprised you did'nt mention Streets of Rage 😉

CX2600 Model CRP ?

Home made horror, poor little joystick

Look at the TIA Chip : CO104444D : NTSC CO11903 : PAL

Here is a good overview : https://atariage.com/system_labels.php?SystemID=2600

Impressive ! Is this chocolate ? Hmmmm ... Eatable paddles

Yes indeed SECAM was a good system. But look at the poor Atari VCS Secam system implementation ! The Atari 2600 games were so colorfull, but i played them during my childhood only with 8 (bad) colors ... 8 Colors vs 106 on PAL VCS !!! 😢 Atari VCS and games sales would have been better here in France with a good implementation of SECAM. Today I play only with good German PAL 2600 consoles

It works like a charm ! Thanks !

Hi guys, Is there a fixed version of the Skeleton + PAL ROM ?

Hi, This is a v5.00 RAR archive. It seems that only version 5.00 of Winrar (or higher) is able to create such files. Z-Zip is one of the few tools able to (only) uncompress v5 RAR archives

Merry Christmas !

Only 5 entries ... this is difficult, but here is my choice : 1) Yars' Revenge 2) Berzerk 3) Laser Gates 4) Centipede 5) Marauder

Velcro on a cartridge ? seriously ? This is not a solution. This is a problem.

You can still try Archive.org : https://web.archive.org/web/20011203083756/http://www.khryssun.cjb.net:80/

Wico The Boss is one of them. Far from being the best, but really unbreakable.

I think that it's a combination of many things. 1) It depends on people behaviour with game peripherals, on how much force they apply to the joystick during play. Some people are real brutes. They handle the CX40 like it was an arcade joystick. Other people are aware that this is not a matter of strengh, play with the CX40 with more "care", and restrain to apply to much force, which mades the joystick last longer. 2) It depends on what game type is played too. Games like Decathlon are Joystick killers. 3) Not all CX40 joysticks have the same build quality. So, if you're a brute, who plays only Decathlon with a poor build quality CX40, the joystick won't last 10 minutes If you're a "cautious" guy, who doesn't play Decathlon and use a good quality CX40, it will last for a lifetime (with may be some spare parts replacements for optimal and pleasant use)

Very Good Question !
