You mean Combat wasn't in the first batch of games released? Thats a shocker to me as I always assumed it had always been given away with the system Oh well learn somethin everyday

Thanks Random you are indeed the Linkmeister It appears that Circus Atari would probably be the first Arcade to VCS port ever instead of Space Invaders which is what I had always heard. Cool stuff indeed Go blow a goat Space Invaders, Circus Atari just took yer lunch Just kidding I love Space Invaders

Is Circus Atari and arcade port? I am attempting to organize my games into games that are ports of arcade games and games that were solely for the home market (All the Activision games I suppose) and wasnt sure about this one, any help appreciated

I was sitting here enjoying my Vader model VCS thinking about all the years of enjoyment I have gotten outta what is probably the best birthday present I ever recieved I got it for my Bday in '82 and though I now own three other VCS systems it is the only one I ever play. I was just wondering how many of you are still using the same 2600 you had in the Pre-Crash days? I know several of you have had to buy new ones due to yard sales etc. but who is still groovin on your original?

Thanks for the info I have never played Seafox, will have to look it up. I must say all the mixing and matching you did really made for an excellent homebrew, I have been playing it as much as I play Wizard of Wor and thats ALOT Thanks Manuel.

Hello, I have been enjoying Manuels Seawolf cart since buying it from the AA store a couple months ago, I remember a Sea Wolf machine from the skating rink when I was seven or eight and a Sea Wolf 2 machine from the arcade here in town a little later on, my question would be which of those is the Seawolf homebrew based on? As I recall it the original was a b&w game and I think the second one was colour, I may be wrong on this but for some reason Manuels game reminds me more of the second one, am I right or wrong?

I have never cared alot for Pro Wrestling for the NES but I must admit it is leaps and bounds over this Wrestlemania game. The dude wanted five bucks for it at the thrift but I talked him down to a dollar and still feel stiffed

I bought Wrestlemania for the NES this morning and either I am not takin enough time with it or it is pure crap I thought it would be vastly better to Pro Wrestling for the NES when I saw it but so far I cant tell much of a difference, am I missing something on this one or is it just a bad game?

I have Seawolf and Climber 5 and its hard to pick a favorite between those two as they are both exceptional games

I picked up a Star Raiders pad with a box of Atari stuff last week, question is are there any other games it will work with? I dont have Star Raiders but may hafta pick it up now that I have this thing.

I know it will never happen but I bet Nintendo could make a fortune if they would make one final Zelda game and one final Mario game for the NES especially given all the NES nostalgia nowadays Am I wrong?

Been playing Wizard of Wor for the past couple days, ya gotta love this game The Wizard lives in a world similar to the one Pac Man lives in if not the same one but he is waaaaaay more Badass than those wuss ghost the Pacster has to deal with plus he can teleport and shoot at ya with a sawed off shotgun or somethin When I first bought this game I thought "Mousetrap with a dude with a gun, boring." I was dead wrong this is definately one of my favorites of all time

Ok, I recently bought Legend of Zelda and Adventure of Link for the NES for three bucks each at a flea mkt. I have played Zelda a couple times back in the eighties but never owned it before (Video store rentals ) I have been lookin forward to playing both of them as I have never played Zelda 2 before but all this talk has me bummed out, is Zelda 2 really that bad? I was gonna try to play em both all the way thru in a weekend but now I dont know if thats such a good idea

How odd, I have bought many systems at thrifts and as far as I know none of them have put any Vodoo curses on me, or MAYBE thats why I suck so bad at certain games hmmmmmm. Will have to think on that

Ok other than guessing your opponents plays is there anything else you are supposed to do defensively in Tecmo Bowl? I didnt get the instructions with the game and cant find them online anywhere, any help appreciated

I just loves that Tecmo Bowl Halftime show Hot eighties chicks shakin that pootnannie Just had to get that outta my system

Ok , I know the Vader model was made only a couple years after 82 and the Jr. was made only post crash but which model of the two is the most rare/desireable? Maybe some of you console collectors can answer this for me. Thanks

I play the Atari probably two hours or so a day, maybe thats what wears em out.

How long does a standard Atari Joystick usually last you folk? I dont know if its the equipment or the operator but lately I have been wearin em out like crazy along the lines of one every six months or so My console is a Vader and I only buy the all black sticks, do I need to switch to the orange stripe ones or something aftermarket? Any help appreciated.

AAAAAAH ! Takin advantage of old people! Ya coulda took her ET cart you know :wink:

Breakout, as a kid I thought it was the least cool game ever but I have learned to appreciate it in my old age

Ok I topped my previous best deal ever today I got the following for five dollars total. 1 Atari Jr. console minus controllers Turmoil Seaquest Maze Craze Word Zapper Air Sea Battle Pitfall Defender Pole Position Freeway Oink Flag Capture Realsports Volleyball Street Racer Stargate Boxing Millipede Sky Diver Mario Bros Donkey Kong Donkey Kong Jr. Venture And 3 Pacman 2 ET 2Missile Comand 5 Space Invaders Got it all in a box at a thrift in Tennessee that was going outta business. Can this one be topped this week?

Do you mean it was a bit different than Atari Combat? Different variations or gameplay?

Howdy folks, Could someone tell me what Sears Tank Plus is? Is it just Sears version of Combat or another game altogether? If it is another game I wanna pick it up as I see it everwhere I shop for games but if its just Combat I shall leave it for someone who needs it , Thanks for the help

Ok first off I know this thread is a bit "venerable" but I have a couple questions maybe someone can answer , first off what is Best Electronics? Were their Ateam and Dukes carts real or repros? How much are their games worth and how hard are they to get? Ok Sorry to bring an old thread back from the dead but I was curious bout these things
