    Cleaned up and still not working. I tried to adjust the bit in the box that goes to the aerial out socket and that had little effect. I think I'll flog it for spares and either sell my games or buy a new jr.

    Is this issue happening with all of your games?

    Good choices. Pac Man collection is one of the highlights of the 7800 library, and Mappy is FANTASTIC. I actually prefer the 2600 port to anything else now, much like I do the Wizard of Wor port.

    Also, I always turn into Ralphie waiting for his decoder ring when I order from AA. Maybe, MAYBE it'll get here TODAY..... 😝

    update, ordered Baby Pac-Man tonight as well. I’ve actually played the arcade cabinet pinball hybrid at a retro arcade near me, really like the game so i had to pick this one up!

    Check on eBay for this one, Ballblazer, IMO, is an underrated game. I have easily put most of my time on my 7800 playing Ballblazer, very good game and it has a POKEY chip which makes the sound effects and music awesome!

    Update: It literally arrived today, nice timing.

     

    Though shipping times this long without any communication are still concerning.

    This is my first batch of orders from AA, but from what I've seen, it's worth the wait and what you get is of the highest possible quality! Bonus points for the box upgrades!

    I agree. Mappy, which I played a TON as a kid on old Plug n Play's, is represented EXCELLENTLY by Champ Games, really looking forward to plugging that cartridge into my Atari! As for Pac-Man, who doesn't love it? Seemed like a must-have homebrew for my 7800.

    That's an old post but is probably still pretty accurate. I know Al hurt his hand or wrist recently which slowed down the manufacturing process. That may still be lingering. My past experience has ranged from a week to maybe a month or so. However, the quality is always top notch, he's a great guy and there's something about getting a new game that still excites me.

     

    Which games did you order?

    Mappy for the 2600, Pac-Man Collection for the 7800, K.C. Munchkin for the 7800, and an AtariVox+!

    Hi everyone! I ordered some homebrews and am VERY excited to start playing them. Out of curiosity, what is the wait time typically around this time? I understand these are ALL made-to-order and am not rushing at all! Just curious as to when to expect them to ship!

    They are temporarily unavailable for ordering, as of the last batch I built for customers, a good number of them did not work upon receipt.  They did work on the 7800 system I tested them on, but apparently failed on several customers' systems.  Until we can resolve this, they will not be available for ordering.  We have designed some new 7800 boards and are in the process of testing them.

    I see, guess that’s what can happen to 35+ year old technology! Still awesome that homebrews are still released for Atari’s

    Hi everyone! I'm a little new to the AtariAge forums. I recently purchased Pac-Man Collection for the 7800 and am excited to get my hands on it, but I had a question. What happened to the POKEY homebrews which required you to send in a POKEY chip to be made? I understand not having POKEY homebrews with the POKEY chip already installed when you purchase it, but why the removal of the cartridges where you supply the POKEY to be installed? I'd love to get a copy of Pac-Man Collection with a POKEY that I can supply if/when they ever return!
