That's the only place I've seen them too. Guess there's not much info on them, my friend has about 50 of them.

So I was over talking with my friend who owns a game store in town. He just recently bought out a flea market shop as a second location. So far it's been going alright for him and he's found a whole lot of cool console stuff. I'm going to try heading over there tomorrow and help him figure out what some of it is. But anyways, he found a whole case of these sorta cool NIB Atari Lazer Quick Fire joystick accessories. Apparently you plug your joystick into it set the knob to your desired rate of fire and play. Another nice feature is it also has an off position so you can basically use it as an 8 foot extension cord for your joystick. I haven't had a chance to test them yet, but he gave me two of them to play around with and find more info on them... So anyone have any info on these? According to the box they are made by Texas Hi Tech Inc. of Oklahoma City, OK, Model: QF-201 I'm getting ready to search Atarimania and see if there's anything there about them but wanted to share some photos here: If anyone wants more pics or any other info I can give you let me know.

My question is Why? I mean don't get me wrong, I love playing the NES when I can get a game to play, what I don't love about the NES is the unpredictability on whether it'll read a the cart or not without the added voodoo-mojo-magic of getting it to work. Ah, the importance of cleaning your carts. The NES's major flaw was the 72 pin "zif" connector that wasn't really a zif. If it's causing you major headaches trying to get a game going on an NES, it may be time to replace the 72 pin connector. It's a very simple process, involves no soldering, and can be done in about 10 minutes. The part you'd replace only costs a few dollars. I have a tutorial on it here: How to Repair a Nintendo NES I'm aware of the problem and the fix. Just too lazy to do it when I can turn to my Atari and just play...

I have a set and it's worth adding to your collection.

this is what I'm doing with my Missile Command marque... If you are going to hang your marquees you should build them in boxes with a light behind them to really make them shine....

Alien Invaders Plus is a great one to have too....

Subchase/Armored Encounter claimed by Artiecoon

#2 looks much cleaner

that actually might work better for what I had in mind... thanks I also joined your group....

During some research, I read that the CV box showed a screenshot of Chess Challenger, a game that never was produced. Can anyone with a box confirm this and maybe take a picture of this for me? I think the screenshot was on a catalog cover too, unfortunately I can't find a decent scan of it on the internet. Here's the best image I found so far: (second row, right side) If you don't have a box, but can get me a better scan of this catalog with the screenshot of Chess Challenger, I'd appreciate it. Thanks

Mirage1972 gave away a bunch of stuff and I can understand him charging shipping. He was upfront with it in his post. If I were giving away that much I too would need to charge shipping as not to break the bank.... I see no problem with it.

I had these offered in the last thread, they just never made the list: O^2 Games Subchase/Armored Encounter Alien Invaders Plus

best of luck to you, and here's to a speedy recovery....

opps double post

interested in the Colecovision Donkey Kong Jr. I have a couple Odyssey games to put up: Subchase/Armored Encounter Alien Invaders Plus

you can also try www.chasethechuckwagon.com and keep your eye on your local Craig's List. Just be patient and you'll score one cheap. Also keep an eye on the marketplace forums here as well... creating a console museum is a bigger challenge than you think, you'll find that there are quite a few must haves out there: Colecovision Intellivision Odyssey 2 Sega Genesis Commodore 64 (technically a computer but has some great games) SNES just to name a few must haves...

From my experience with it, your going to need a program to map the joystick if you can't map the controller within the game. You don't install any drivers for the USB CX-40. Windows detects it as a standrd USB joystick. EDIT: nathanallan if it's an online game, send me the link and I can check it out.

I have a few of them, I wouldn't mind finding more of them... Edit: I think I have these episodes at home Icons-Episode102-Nolan_Bushnell Icons-Episode103-Pac-Man Icons-Episode105-Activision Icons-Episode106-Miyamoto Icons-Episode201-Atari Icons-Episode208-Arcade Icons-Episode220-Yuji_Naka

Bought a few O^2 boxed from this guy. Great transaction. Each game was individually wrapped and care was taken to make sure they arrived safe. I would not hesitate to buy from him again. Thanks again dude....
