Almost Rice

I bought the same system. I think you also got a xm301 with it. I bought it for the drive, but got the bonus system too.

Ah, the memories. it has been 39 years since I installed my Newell. It was a miracle it worked. I learned how to solder doing this. Using plumbing solder and a Radio Shack soldering iron. Metalguy and Warerat would probably let me know the kind of shit job I did.

My favorite was a guy selling Ultima 4 disks with no labels because they fell off because of 30 year old glue.

1981-1983 Ti Basic in Elementary school I dont remember anything here since we lost all programs when we turned off the machine. 1984-1985 Apple Basic in Middle School 1986-1991 ForTran on VAX/VMS and Mac in HS 1984 to present Atari Basic on my own machines 1996-2000 Intel ASM, C++ on PC and servers in college 2001-2003 Perl and workflow. 2003-2007 ADAbas and Natural 2007-present Peoplesoft on Oracle DB. PeopleCode and SQR. my own stuff on Monday.com

What this is 5 years old? I will have to check it out too. Shamus was one of my favorite games back when you loaded from tape.

Nice 600xl bump to the top. Are these going for over $100 now? I have been out of the market for 10 years and did not realize. I may have to find my box of PoKey chips. I hear they have gone up in price too.

I have never seen a 410 with a switch on the back. Was this a feature for German equipment?

Not really any secret to docking in the review. I get really frustrated playing this game.

This game is hard to play. I just picked up a cocktail and wondered how people could get all 3 ships together. I too want to know how it plays on 7800 as compared to the arcade.

I got Rescue on Fractulus twice. First time was the alien was in the ship. Second, I spotted green helmet, so didnt open the door. Then got the attack on the windshield. I had no idea the alien was a thing. I got the alien the next time by going to the mother ship and turning on shields the moment you see them. Cool to kill it on screen.

But that Defender cab is so wrong. You should have gotten the Defender Partycade. The joystick layout would have been Defender all the way.

I'll just pop in the 2600 version of Defender Arcade.

I'll have to go with the OG CC2. 16 years of use can not be topped.

Didn't anyone pay you for those PoKeys? I have a Priority box full of partial BallBlazer carts with PoKeys. I just paid shipment costs.

Have you looked at the motherboard? Check if this has the 16 ram chips. Look at the brand on all 16. If you have one off brand and 15 Michron Tech chips, the ram is the problem. It would be intermittent and only in certain situations, but reproducible.

Looks like european adaptor. The list only applies to North American adaptors ~110VAC

This 64K 600xl is a factory or distributor upgraded 600xl sold in Canadia. Don't ask me why Atari did that. I have a boxed version somewhere in my closet. As you are from syrupland, I assume you are from land of maple syrup or at least adjacent.

I would almost care, but my Moon Alien cocktail used ask my desk gets me my galaxian fix. I may have to pull out my 7800 for another Bob game.

I got so bored of the game I played to kill those Pterries. Try it. Can be fun when you grow tired of playing normally.

I was hacking an adaptor to use on my wife's blinds. This is what I found around the house. After putting it together it looked so familiar, I checked my 7800 power supply. I guess we know where the molds went. Even the polarity is the same.

This is my arcade panel made into a Joystick. It is way fun in Robotron. Can also connect other joystick and trackballs into this joystick.

My off the shelf replacement was paper clip. cut into shape of 90 degree bend and put it back in place and solder the in just the pin that broke. Fast and I didnt need to get a replacement SIO port.

damn!!!

I am still around. I will have to dig the Canadian 64k 600xl out and make some more pictures. I have the corresponding box too.

I picked up a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro for $35 after my 30% discount. It is missing battery, ssd, and power supply. I got it working by removing the CMOS battery and installing a 1TB 850 EVO.
