[2600 Games Online]

A few weeks ago, I posted a link to my web page with about twenty 2600 games that can be played online.

 

Since then, I have been working on a site dedicated to that purpose. Now it is online.

 

The web site is www.2600Online.com.

 

Currently there are about 50 games.

 

Have fun!

[Enough like the arcade?]

I was quite satisfied with Moon Patrol, Ms. Pac-Man, and Space Invaders.

 

Not bad at all !

[My students' Atari VCS games]

Would it be OK to add them to my website to allow others to play via Java?

Interesting selection. Why did you choose Tom Boy over Pitfall! ?

 

BTW: Any homebrews planned?

 

Purely random

[Online Atari 2600 Emulator - Now active]

Very nice. Any plans for expansion?

 

I plan on putting about 25 additional games per week. Now I can play my Atari at work!

Hi All,

 

After being directed to JStella, I have placed twenty-five 2600 games on my website. The link directly to the games is

Please let me know if there is a particular game you would like to see on the site, and I will see what I can do.

[HSC Season 4 Week 67: Klax]

One of my new favorites! The translation of the game play is nearly perfect!

[HSC Season 4 Week 63: Conquest of Mars]

32,330

 

Never played before! Pretty good game!

 

[Java-based Atari 2600 Emulator]

If we had an online emulator, would we be allowed to have any games that played on it besides those by any Homebrewers that would give permission?

 

I would imagine the licensing would be the same as with any other emulator.

[People's top 5 games]

1. Jr. Pac Man

2. Pitfall II

3. Ice Hockey

4. Polaris

5. Moon Patrol

[Best variant of the 2600 to buy?]

I have a heavy sixer, a Darth Vader, a Jr. and a 7800.

 

The sixer, the vader, and the Jr. are sealed. The 7800 is what I have connected, and I have another spare in storage.

 

Sometimes when you get bundles on ebay, you collect additional systems.

[Java-based Atari 2600 Emulator]

Hi,

 

Is anyone aware of a Java-based Atari 2600 emulator?

 

Any help would be great!

 

Thanks

[Orlando...any retrogrames shops and places?]

In between Tampa and Orlando is a town called Lakeland (where I am from).

 

In the Lakeland Square Mall, there was a used game shop called Retro's. It closed in January of this year.

 

They had great stuff....used games from Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Intellivision, ColecoVision; even a Vectrex!

 

Of course NES, SNES, Sega Master System, and other ubiquitous game console.

 

I really padded my retro collection from that shop. Unfortunately, the cell phone accessory/fake gold/bling-it-up crowd that frequents that mall did not appreciate retro gaming.

 

From what I understand, there is a great retroshop in South Florida (Miami - Ft. Lauderdale area) but I cannot confirm that.

[Atari 2600 Videos]

Here is Berzerk.

[Atari 2600 Videos]

Those videos were great! Keep up the good work. Could you do a video of Berserk? If not that, how about Phoenix? That would be awesome.

 

Steve

 

I'll do both!

[Atari 2600 Videos]

I recorded a few videos to .AVI through PCAE and posted them on Youtube. How do you make your with sound?

 

I connect my console to my TV capture card, set it to channel 3, and use the ATI-All-in-Wonder software to dump it to a file.

 

If am doing it from an emulator, I use Camtasia Studio.

[Atari 2600 Videos]

Hi everyone,

 

I am in the process of creating online videos for all of the Atari 2600 games I can get my hands on.

 

The first one I made was Activision's Ice Hockey. I did this for the this week's high score club.

http://www.jimbogames.com/atari_icehockey.htm

 

The second is Superman.

http://www.jimbogames.com/atari_superman.htm

 

As I get more practice, the quality of the videos will improve.

 

Until then, watch these videos, and get a good snicker at my lousy game play

 

Let me know if you would like a video created of a particular game. I will do my best to create one.

[HSC Season 4 Week 50: Ice Hockey]

16 - 11

 

You can watch the video of my feeble attempt at http://www.jimbogames.com/atari_icehockey.htm

[Previous 7800 HSC Rounds]

 

92,000

 

Could have done better, but it was fun anyway!

[HSC Season 4 Week 49: Polaris]

 

14700

 

Once you get the level 3, the game picks up, and gets pretty challenging!

[HSC Season 4 Week 48: Amidar]

A little more respectible.... (just a little)

[HSC Season 4 Week 48: Amidar]

2289 - Ho Hum, better next time.

 

[WTT/WTB: Bare 7800]

I have a bare 7800 unit that I could sell.

 

$30 US

 

Send me an email if interested.

 

Thanks,

Jim

 

 

Can anyone PLEASE sell/trade a bare 7800 unit? I just received "Beefdrop" in the mail and, much to my horror, my 7800's bit the dust. I will buy the unit outright, but have the following to trade:

 

1) A boxed SC1224

 

2) 50 loose 2600 carts, all different commons;

 

3) A boxed "Ultima IV" for the A8;

 

4) Boxed copies of "Computer Baseball" and "Microleague" baseball for the A8

 

And, for the truly desperate, "Myst IV" (PC) and "The World of Harry Potter" (PC), both boxed.
