    I'm in a Rodney Dangerfield mood today, RIP. Thought up more one liners he could use if he we're around today.  "My wife's cooking is so bad our kids go running around to the neighbors and beg for leftovers!"  "One time I had a piece of meat that I could't eat so I tossed it to the dog...he tossed it back!"   "Awhile back and I put my plate on the floor for the dog and he bit me!"

      I'm not a good-looking guy.  At Hallowe'en I open the front door and the kids give me candy!

      In fact, I was such an ugly kid that my parents had to hang a porkchop around my neck just to get the dog to play with me.

    Hi, Anyone have the companion cassette to Xenophobe for the Atari ST? Love to hear the music on it!

    There is this version for Windows that has different backgounds, views and a bonus round to try to take out the dragon before he destroys your castle!

    I got thinking about someone doing a hack of Activisions Grand Prix with the players car as Pac-Man and the cars as the ghosts!

      idk why but I feel like that's basically what's recently happening with some Atari 2600 games that never made it due to its initial 1992 discontinuation. This includes the latest Swordquest iirc.

    What's a good glue for re-attaching a label?

    Here's this to play on your computer! bbemulator.exe

    Your right! You'd think I'd remember after doing a few mods myself!

    Forgot about that. And if memory serves, doesn't it short out the power supply on the 5200 if someone tries it in an unmodified system?
  11. SoundGammon
    Wish someone would port this over to the Jaguar! Played it a lot on my old XP computer.

    Easy to repair. Haven't had one apart in years, just a little tricky taking it apart. Start with the 5 volt regulator and go from there. Any 2600 will make a great parts donor!

    I tried a couple converters before and didn't like the picture. But I found this Samsung dvd recorder that puts out a beautiful picture on the HDMI output. I run my 7800, 5200 & 2600 through it! No lag as long as the 3D enhancement is turned off! You can set the output all the way up to 1080p!

    Any update to Lunar Patrol, Moon Patrol, for the 7800?

    Hunt & Score, Concentration, would work easy with a joystick! Move an "X" around the screen and pick the square with the fire button! Wish someone would hack the 2600 version to play that way!

    GCC did a version of Millipede for Atari for the 2600. Is that available anywhere? http://www.atariprotos.com/2600/software/millipede/millipede.htm

    Here it is, Saturday afternoon, and I'm all set to watch the Mariners spring training baseball. Nope, can't do it! Only way to watch it is to subscribe to Fubo! Root Sports is busing interviewing the cook for the Seattle Kraken hockey team! What is WRONG with this picture?

      To be fair, Root Sports was going to air a live NBA game with the UTAH JAZZ. A live REAL game has priority over warm-up games!

      Back in the good old days of C/Ku band dishes, you could see a lot of the uplink feeds. Those were a lot of fun because they were unfiltered and you could usually hear the announcers talking trash when the network went to commercial.

    At the time the 5200 was released, GALAXIAN, would have been a great pack-in game! It would have been a good exclusive for the system and a lot of people were familiar with it and not release it for the 8-bits, yet! I don't believe Atari ever planned a 2600 adapter for it because the original version of the 5200 had to be MODIFIED to use it! Also, if Atari would have released hit games BEFORE the 2600 version, the system would have really taken off! Imagine Pac-Man coming out first before the 2600 version!

    I know I have all three Back To The Future movies and the Aliens movie, cool cover, hard to see the Alien queen on it!
  20. SoundGammon
    I know I have Monty Python and Terminator II. Also Ninja Turtles, all three Star Wars, second edition widescreen. Also 5 KISS laser discs! I got a cd size music video of Dire Straits Money For Nothing. I'll have to dig them out.

    I just read that scientists in China have developed a disk the size of a DVD that will hold the equivalent of 220,000 dvds!

      Plus you might get a post credits scene,  probably just setting up the sequel...

    Not too hard. I wired the left joystick switch to the the left flipper and the right joystick switch to the right. The "big" button to the fire for launch and a the up & down to the other free buttons. Run the ground or common lead to the other side of the buttons.
  24. SoundGammon
    I have 2 of those and one I "hacked" to a 2600 cable to be able to use the flipper buttons on Video Pinball & Midnight Magic! Works way better! My scores went up!

    What do you get if you put 2 pancakes together?  Two pancakes that are thicker than any Subway sandwich! Gotta pay big money to those football stars instead!
