Atari 2600 games added to Retroachievements.org

[Atari 2600 games added to Retroachievements.org]

You can play by downloading the RetroArch emulator and using the Stella core. You have to set some options in RetroArch to log in to Retroachievements. It will tell you when you start the game if you're logged in and how many achievements you have.

 

I learned that hard way that Leaderboards have to be turned on because they're disabled by default. I lost a 91,563 Pitfall! score just now. Hardcore mode also has to be enabled for you to show up on the leaderboards.

Nope! They just never had Atari games before.

[Does anyone know more about this joystick?]

It looks like I was reading it wrong. He has Challenger GX112 in the description for the line above that.

Thanks to Bohoki for the adapter! It's working great. I went with the Performance PC Propad (new in box!) for my gamepad.

[Repairing a 5200 door]

 

Unfortunately, my Atari 5200 controller storage door was damaged in shipping. What should I do about this? Is normal super glue my best option? Is there any kind of plastic epoxy that works well?

[Does anyone know more about this joystick?]

Thanks!

Hi all,

 

I've been trying for a long time to find a joystick that I had as a kid. It looked like a Quickshot, with a black plastic body, two red buttons, and a turbo fire switch, but with a round base and suction cups on the bottom. Not matter how much I looked I could never find a picture on one on-line. I started to wonder if I had owned a rare joystick as a kid. I wondered what this joystick could possibly have been. Until today. I was trying again to find it on-line and I stumbled on a forum post from a guy in Germany with pictures of joysticks that he was repairing:

I finally found a picture of one of the joysticks that I owned as a kid:

The one with a round base and suction cups on the bottom.

He says in the post:

"Antech, looks like a Atari clone with suckers on the base and a better stick."

 

Does anyone know more about this joystick? Is this really rare? Why is there only one picture of one on-line?
