^ I was under the impression that only the one had been found.

Damn, I missed that one!

I still have mine from back in '87. There were a few bug fixes and a couple of minor changes from the 128, the only one I remember off hand was the video RAM upgrade from 16 to 64k. I remember some of the Kracker Jax copiers took advantage of it (even in 64 mode) as a swap space for single drive disk copying. Basic8 would also allow 640x400 graphic commands that you couldn't do with a plain 128. I JiffyDOS'd mine, put switches up front to change the drive number from 8-11, a dedicated drive reset button, moved the system reset to the front, had a battery-backed RAMLink and SuperSnapshot 5.0 for which I also moved the enable button the front. I don't remember ever having any incompatibilities with 64 mode software, and I had a ton of it! (still do)

Damage control. That's like saying "we designed our new car to be horribly uncomfortable and a real bitch to keep control of. That way we're sure to get only the best drivers behind the wheel of our new beauty"

Wonder007.

^ One of the ones I sent in was a PAL cart - Al said it should be fine.

Atari Heavy 6sw (junky) Light 6sw 4sw (several) Vader Short Rainbow Jr. Large Rainbow Jr. 5200 CX-55 (does that count?) Sears Heavy 6sw (boxed - hex discs & all ) Light 6sw 4sw V.A. II Coleco Gemini (junky) Colecovision Expansion #1 (does that count?)

I got this reply regarding the shipping rape: Insurance and signature confirmation is included. That alone is 7 dollars.

I picked one up cheap with a bunch of games several years ago, but I've never even hooked it up.

Me wants!

Very Frankenstein - I love it!

Probably Fast Food.

I don't fix the cartridge - I rig the console instead. I keep a couple of small screws nearby and wedge them into the slots on the console for just such broken cartridges. Simple & stupid, but it works.

What about Domino Man or Space Zap?

I should have a bunch. I'll dig around when I get home.

As far as 5200, Intellivision & Colecovision versions go, better graphics & extra levels mean nothing to me when I have to use those damn controllers! Gimme the clunky 'ol 2600 version of any game with a real joystick, thank you.

Good stuff there! Times of Lore & LoTA are two of my favorite Commie titles!

Don't think so. Nice red collection!

Nice grab!

I think Chicky wins

This is the reason it won't happen anytime soon. It has nothing to do with then "being able" - so long as it's left up to folks like comcast & verizon, the boonies will never have access, as it's not profitable for them to do so. It's going to take broadband being classified as a utility to make that happen.

At least in North America, there's no way games could go totally to online delivery, not without a massive change in our infrastructure. There wont be anywhere even close to that amount of bandwidth available in the foreseeable future. Optical drives will be with us for a while yet.

I always liked that label. Funny, yet creepy at the same time.

I like the Atari nod, but I absolutely despise Lexus commercials. That stuck-up, pompous-ass, snooty sounding narrator always game me the impression that Lexus thought we should be honored to buy a Toyota at twice the price.

1: How many different titles, counting same game by different company as a different title, do you have in your 2600 collection? Around 1200. 2: What's your favourite 2600 model? (Clones included) Telegames heavy. 3: What are your 5 favourite games for the 2600? Demon Attack Enduro Kaboom! (despite the fact that I suck at it) Phoenix Fast Food 4: What company made the best looking games as far as casing goes? Love the Tron T-handles. 5: Do you still own the first system you ever bought? No 6: What other game systems do you own? 5200(2&4 port), 7800, Intellivision(1), Colecovision, Vectrex, Odyssey2, 360(although I hate it!), C64(many versions), C128/C128D and I'm certain I have a Vic-20 somewhere, but can't seem to find it as of late. Aside from the 2600 however, I've been pretty much exclusively a PC gamer for ten years or so now - I rarely touch these other systems anymore. 7: Do you own any of the "adult" titles for the 2600? All but one. 8: Do you buy games online, in the wild, or both? Online pretty much exclusively. The wild market around here is virtually nonexistent. 9: How do you store your games? http://www.atariage.com/howto/storage_tips/LooseCarts.html 10: Do you have any complete collections from any maker, not including homebrew companies, for the 2600? Yes.
