  1. I was playing Defender a while ago for the first time in many years, and I actually enjoyed it. It does play like a reasonable facsimile of the arcade game - it just doesn't LOOK like the arcade game.
  2. If you don't have a local retro videogame store with old Atari carts, just go pick up a bundle of loose carts on eBay. You'll get a whole bunch of game for relatively cheap per game. Some will be crappy, but no doubt some will be good.
  3. It all comes down to money. To fit a working keyboard and a cartridge slot would have raised the price. A bean-counter somewheres decided that to maximize profit, some things would have to be sacrificed, or they would have to charge more to the consumer. I dunno; I like what I see and I pre-ordered one.
  4. I have to say I've had really good luck with my Plus. Even before the update, I only had a handful of carts (out of 100 or so) that gave me any grief.' With cleaning and a firmware update, the only cart that gives me a problem now is Tac-Scan: it runs, but doesn't recognize paddles. I understand that the 'experimental' update fixes this but I haven't tried it yet; I figured I might as well wait for the next update.
  5. There are a few exceptions to the rule. Activision's Ice Hockey and Tennis are actually pretty decent, and can be played solo as well as 2-player. I also like Golf and Miniature Golf.
  6. Sounds like the 10-in-1 had some kind of residue on the contacts that was gumming up the cart slot, and eventually was scraped clean. Perhaps it is the Plus slot that is dirty and that explains all the other carts not working.
  7. I know some folks will consider this heresy, but I prefer Lost Luggage over Kaboom! 😆
  8. Of those, Lock n Chase is my favorite. I know some folks think the 2600 version is not that great of a port, but personally I quite like it.
  9. It's also common and affordable - and seems to get decent reviews. I've thought about picking it up but I just don't enjoy most sports games.
  10. Activision Tennis, Galaga 7800, Miniature Golf (2600+)
  11. I definitely need a new label for my copy of Boxing, so thank you!
  12. There are some newer releases I'd like to order but I'm waiting for the backlog to clear.
  13. I found it amusing how he superimposed the image of the production model over the black prototype... I thought things looked pretty good from the review.
  14. I've played a ton of Food Fight and have had zero issues. I'm running the 1.x.x.9 ROM dumper and firmware beta 1.1 release 1. No freezing with this or any other game. 1) What version of the dumper/firmware are you running? 2) Have you given the cart a thorough cleaning since seeing the issue?
  15. I saw a posting by Alex_813 listing several 7800 carts for sale. I asked if I could buy a copy of Galaga 7800. The price and shipping were fair. He shipped it out from Florida and it arrived in British Columbia within a week, which is something of a minor miracle. The cart was wrapped with bubble-wrap and in a small cardboard box. The cart is in nice condition and works great in my 2600+. Thank you!
