    Impressive. I am completely new to retrobright, and your method sounds very

    simple, so i could test it. Could you provide (apart from the UV lights you have mentioned)

    some more details? Dissolve some Oxiclean in water (how much?...), submerge it

    and then just use the UV lights on that for a couple hours/days? That is all?

    Thanks!

     

    It's far from scientific. Enough that it's effective, not so much that the water is too cloudy to let light through. One good sized scoop for every couple gallons of water, I guess. I never really measure anything.

     

    You can also use liquid developer from a hair care store. Submerge it in the developer completely and hit it with the UV lights.

    Is collecting a full set still doable?

    Ug, I keep just barely losing ebay auctions for games although I am still slowly chipping away at the ones I am missing.

    Just be patient. Set up eBay alerts so you know when new items are posted. Don't forget that PayPal does "pay in 4", if you need to break up some of the more expensive games into easier to manage payments. Games like tank comment, you're just going to have to accept that you won't get a deal and will have to dish out a few bucks. Sooner or later, a buy it now listing will pop up and you won't have to worry about being outbid. 

     

    In the Grand scheme of things, the 7800 is a very doable and still fairly affordable library to complete, compared to most other consoles.

    Some of my personal favorites:

    Ninja Golf

    Alien Brigade

    Fatal Run

    Commando

    Ikari Warriors

    Dark Chambers

    Xenophobe 

     

    I usually don't include games like Ms Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Asteroids and other arcade "classics" in best of lists for the system. While most of them are good ports, none of them are the definitive version of their respective game and there's dozens, if not hundreds of other ways to play them.

    Odd that Ballblazer is listed as passing compatbility, but that Commando is untested? Does Atari not have access to all the physical carts I'm guessing? They should have reached out to the public to try and secure some of these untested games to see what is up with them.

     

    I would doubt they do. This isn't the OG Atari, with a vault full of original cartridges. Ballblazer is easy to find and test. Commando much less easy and cheap...
