Joust - is Pterry worth it?

[Joust - is Pterry worth it?]

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.

[7800 power supply mold]

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.

[What controllers do you have ? (poll)]

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.

[Broken pins in 400 data socket.]

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.

[...just an old 64K ram extension for the 600XL]

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.

on the edge, you can cut a millimeter or two off the edge. It will get you a part is less oxidized.

[Modding the JVC TM-A13SU Monitor]

I got this monitor back in 2010. I got it because it could do PAL.

[What is your retro computing most "irrational want?"]

Coleco Adam system. I remember my little 10 year old mind just dying to have one. Good thing we never got one and they disappeared so quickly that I never got a change to get one.

[Atari 800 Incognito kit for sale on Ebay 3/10/2016]

Wow, should sell mine. Been too busy to install it. I thought these were less than $100 new. $255 looks pricey to me.

[Bentley bear on cartridge?]

I have a few from BallBlazer carts. LMK how many you need.

 

Had to reply instead of PM since your inbox is full

The only thing stopping this from being released is the lack of Pokeys. Kinda makes me wish I had done TIA from the start, as this would have been released 3 years ago.

The background music would have suffered, but I think it would have been ok.

[GONE - Sony Wega 32" Trinitron CTR TV with Matching Stand - Houston, TX]

hehe, I got a 40" free in 2012. I threw it out in 2014. It was freaking huge.

[Spreading the Love with Free Games and More... Edicion Cinco]

That is why I suggested the giver post the name of the taker when the giver updates their post. Any excuse on this part is just an excuse. Giver always updates so they stop getting PMs.

 

That way we will see if the taker follows up.

[7800 XM update]

confirmation email? not sure which email that was

[Shades of things to come....DEFENDER!]

This is going to be great. I hope to build a Stargate panel to play it more authentically.

[Ultima IV Remastered for C64...]

Yes, lack of U5 for A8 really annoyed me.

[wip]

thanks for bumping this. I need to put this on my cc2

[Spreading the Love with Free Games and More... Edicion Cinco]

Maybe there should be a requirement to update the offer post with information of those who got the items.

 

btw, bump

[Poll: Atari 7800 vs. NES (Ms. Pac-Man)]

looks like I need to put the 320s on my cc2

[Atari 7800 Arcade cabinet]

If you put that much effort into making a cab, at least finish the job with an arcade joystick.
