Anyone know what the second level of Donkey Kong on the VCS is supposed to be? Maybe some strange place where you trap ducks by leaping over them? I have been curious bout this for years.

is it all nostalgia? or fun?
sandmountainslim replied to kevin242's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I suppose its both for me , I still have the Vader console I got as a kid and all the games I had at the time (only 16 of em) but over the years I have picked up almost seventy more games to add to those, I want all the games I didnt have back in the day and I am slowly but surely gettin there, I do love the gameplay of the VCS. -
Systems that just arnt worth it
sandmountainslim replied to sega saturn x's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Do you like Super Mario 3 for the NES SaturnX? That is a favourite of mine, I am glad you are trying so hard to like the Atari, I dunno if you have Star Voyager for it or not but I think you will be impressed with it, hang in there -
Still not sick of GTA: SA

I agree that enough stuff isnt breakable, I would like to be able to break into and trash every building in the game, maybe thats askin too much -
Hack of Coleco's Venture: Level 3 implememted!
sandmountainslim replied to batari's topic in Atari 2600 Hacks
Yeah, I definately wanna buy this one on cart, what is the usual cost for a one timer cart from AA? -
I found something odd today (to me anyways) I was shopping at the Salvation Army and found a woodgrain wall mounted 2600 cart storage unit, had never saw one of these before but it looks good on my wall.

What the.....? People born in 1990 are talkin, typin and playing video games? Feel like I am in a friggin time warp or something 1990 still sounds like the day before yesterday to me or worse yet THE FUTURE!!! Geez I'm sounding/feeling old. -
Hello all , Does anyone know anything about a dedicated handheld called "Senario VS Maxx"? I saw it at a thrift today for three bucks but am unsure what it is, there was no listing of games as it was without a box or instructions. Is this a famiclone like the Super Joy or something else altogether? any help appreciated.

Hello All, I had read where Genesis controllers would work with the VCS and hooked mine up to try it out, it works fine on some games but others like Beamrider , Robot Tank and a few others it either will not work at all or just fires constantly as is the case with Robot Tank. Is this true with all Genesis controllers or could there be something wrong with mine?

Got 5 2600 carts today for four dollars they were ET, Journey Escape, Vanguard, Realsports Tennis and Mouse Trap. Unfortunately Realsports Tennis was the only one I didnt already own but I couldnt turn the others down at that price not even ET -

sandmountainslim replied to sega saturn x's topic in Classic Console Discussion
There are plenty of enjoyable games for the 2600 like Kaboom and Star Voyager just to name a couple and what about Zelda and Mario 3 on the NES? The only two systems I own that I just cannot get into are the SNES and Genesis but I am sure there are others who think they are the shiznit. -
Oh yeah one more thing, does this game have an actual ending or just repeat over and over? The manual speaks of saving the capital starport but I didnt know if that was actually part of the game or just part of the story, as you guessed I havent mastered it enough to know the answer to this.

whats the most that should be payed for a nes
sandmountainslim replied to awsomo3000's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I have two working NES consoles, I paid ten bucks for one of them with fourteen games and a PSX without hookups and the other I gave one dollar for , it was missing the rf adapter but I just used AV hookups on it. Both of these came from thrift stores -
I have to stick up for Home Run as it is a pretty fun game when played on variation 3 , I also enjoy Bowling I suppose my least favourite of the early Atari games would have to be Golf which is not alot of fun.
-
Yeah I am lookin for a copy, I dont care if its in a Pac Man or ET cart, just want it to play.
-
It surprised me but I love it, then again I wouldnt put too much stock in my opinions after all I am the dude who dissed the worlds most beloved game Desert Falcon!!

Been playing Star Voyager today and boy it is an addictive little game, I have owned it for weeks but just go around to playing it today, I still havent figured out the purpose of the missiles fired from the #2 joystick yet as far as I can tell they just use up all your energy and I do just fine only using stick #1. Anyone have any insight or musings on this game? I think I will go ahead and declare it one of my favourites.

I am 34 so naturally I have memories of both systems, the VCS from my preteen and early teen years and the NES from high school however recently say the past three weeks or so I have found myself playing the NES more than the Atari, maybe its just because I bought a Game Genie, I hope thats all it is as I am starting to feel guilty about it, anyone else go thru fits of NES and recover from it?

I am looking for a copy of the A Team prototype in cartridge form, Anyone got a copy of it for sale?

Super Joy question
sandmountainslim replied to sandmountainslim's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Ok I bought a power supply at a thrift today and it does work however the bad news is there are NO built in games on the Super Joy but I plugged in the multicart that came with my Power Joy and it works fine, now I gotta try to find some more famiclone multicarts any ideas where to pick those up? -
Super Joy question
sandmountainslim replied to sandmountainslim's topic in Classic Console Discussion
So am I to assume any six volt power supplo will work? I have looked thru all mine here at the house and they are all nine volt with various amps, if any six volt will work I will be off to the thrifts to find one. -
Super Joy question
sandmountainslim replied to sandmountainslim's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Thanks for the info Senor Huevo, I looked at my box of assorted power supplies and ALL of em are 9volt so I might make a trip to Radio Shack and try to find one that is 6 I am really curious about what games are built into this thing.
