Yes i realize that i checked there first coudnt find an exact mach.. only a 32-in-one system and it dosnt have the rainbow stripe this one does.

A friend just realised they had a unit that looks like a Junior model B but appears to have 30 inbuilt games. Manufacturing label says made in china, while my regular junior -B says taiwan! here are some pics: Games appear to be seleceted by flipping colour/ black and white switch Games identification coming soon!, however the games dont appear to follow a order! flipping the colour switch to change games changes it to a random game! but ill try to ID what games are in it! If anyone knows anything about it ( looks at Cpu-Wiz and Rom hunter) or has any questions, post away!

WOw i won. Proves that a young man + determination + competition + VCS = Success! i must be dreaming. i died and gone to gorf heaven. ( or is it hell?)

Yep i love game 3. Adventure Rocks! That pesky bat! the game actually has depth!

Rom hunter drove me to it. He makes me better at VCS games by providiny competition. and to me the game is a bit easy, you only die through mistakes in moving or predicting, not because the game is hard. The invaders really dont get any harder after thr 4th - 5th time around, laser atack dosnt really change, bomber things get faster but if you move your ship to the left a littl and watch the way the bombers come out you always will know when to fire to hit it when it comes around. the motherships missiles get faster and faster though and if you dont one hit kill it the odds of you bieng killed increase rapidly when you get as far as me and hunter have. no offense intended to anyone

Yep nothung like a gorf morning, or in my case night

58,200! my wrist hurts! thank you god for the one hit kill mothership.

damn you rom hunter EDIT: 39,700 so bleah

entombed or commandor raid. both fun

My colours are different cause im PAL. also im using an actual 2600 so ita a bit easier. Personally the game is easy till after ive killed the mothership for about the 5-6th time! Here is a tip for after you have been through the cycle three times or so. At this stage the bombs dropped by the first two rows of invaders ( purple and oraange on PAL system) are extremely fast and if you are trying to shoot them from bieng underneath them you will run out of lives quickly. what i do is whittlee at the eges and then them move into my bullets. thats one of the things i used to survive to get my 30,700.

30,700. best gorf game ever!

has working ac adapter, game cartridge and two fully working controllers. The system is old and prodces its own sound internally and doeas not use tv sound. Its a pong clone system. im looking to sell it but preferably trade it for 2600 games. PM me if interested.

13,000 on real hardware with a tac2 controller! EDIT: 1 game later my new high score: 22,400!

8,950

damn you hunter! lol i still have 7 1/2 hours... lol nope only 24,480 that time. Lousy canyon bombers at end of level. i stand by my 36,380.. no more moon patrolling for me!

lol rom hunter i sorta picked you to compete against directly..no reason in particular lol 36,380.. yay im 2nd so far at least! yay im half decent at a game for a change ! lol

Im looking to trade these for other commons / commonishes ( in particular common 20th century / u.s games) NTSC or PAL is ok. All of these carts are PAL ( click to enlarge pictures) ATARI ------- Space Invaders ( Black picture label + manual that comes with the text cart version) Raiders of the lost ark(silver label) + manual Pole Position (Silve Label) Activision ------------ Robot Tank ( this is the actual activision version, not HES)(has actiplaque! but not too bad) Pirate ------- Panda Rescue ( action hi tech) Please PM me if interested!

23,540 and still playing.. i bombed out in last leg of first course. EDIT: finsihed first course but screwed up on first leg of second.. I HATE TANKS My final score: 36,380. ill keep trying but i doubt ill get any better than that. and just so ppl know you have yourself another player here! as long as i have the hardware for it ill play. i dont believe in emulating unless you dont own the actual game. I love the competition! and i achieved my own personal goal.to beat the first course! thanks guys for picking this game or i'd never have done it!

ep. I dont mind the flicker eiter!

11,550 but im gonna keep trying. the wierd thing is in my moon partrol cart game 3 is HARD not medium difficultiy, however it was stated above that it is to be medium, so thats what i set it on... EDIT: 2 games later at 10:30 pm AUStralian time..i coudnt resist it..Yes, whoever said it was right, if you play it you eventually become easier at solving the problems, i can now clear the mines with no life loss. 19,460! sorry i cant post pics i dont own a digital camera and i cant exactly scan my TV. lol

As i said, the COST of these devices and games arnt worth it only for a handful of good games. ok, so thats a few ppl my age who are like this, like me, who play 2600 and a few of the new games..im guilty of playing civilisation 3 on pc, now thats a good game! But thats only 5 or so ppl ( if even that) in my age bracket so far who actually understand this. So people dont agree that alot of sales out htere are simply because to fit in with friemds, the tremd or be cool?

Yep i like the NES..mmm metroid.. i have a emulator on my ps1(the most modern console in my house!) i use the ps1 for a large amount of RPG'ing, as the ps1 dd have tons of long, good rpgs.( final fantasy 8!) please note the views i take are on my generration and are generally my opinon, as no one else i know at my age has any brains. Its great you oldies ejoy both modern and old, but as i said i simply dont believe its worth the money. even when the 2600 was brand new it didnt cost $800 for %$^ sake! I know a friend who bought a xbox 360 and didnt have any money left for food and so begged his mother for food.!

If it was 1977, lol, id still think the 2600 beats the crap out of anything else.

im only 17 and i REJECT ALL modern consoles. (This is from a teenagers view and looks at his generation, not the oldies, so no offense intended oldies!) I have many reasons for this. 1. i AM NOT GOING TO PAY $800au FOR A CONSOLE AND THEN $50-100 au A POP for games, then accessories and then a few years time buy the new console and repeat the cycle. I am not going to do that just to be cool with my friends, or follow the trend. ( Which accounts for ALOT of sales, wether youd like to admit it or not) 2.i pride myself on bieng different if they want to follow the fad and believe graphics are everything (and hence gameplay is for loosers) than thats thier mistake, and i m said alot of the youngies i know feel this way. its disgusting. im not saying the games are bad, 3. Modern games, with the exception of a few, dont keep you hooked. Thats why half of you who have modern consoles come back to the VCS. 4. SAVE FUNCTION! Any game that has a save function will be beaten eventually. Yes, save is important uif you have to go to work, or sleep, but in reality the game with the save function is 99% of the time insuffiecently challenging and can be broken in about 12-24 hours of gameplay. If developers are going to do this, they s hould make the game exceptionally hard -OR- exceptionally long. With 12 hours of gameplay, at $100 a pop, its not worth it in my opinion. A few games are the exception to this rule, but im not going to pay $800+ just for a handfull of games that are actually worth the price they command. How usefull would a save function be in 2600' space invaders? WORTHLESS, amd thats what makes it a great game, it never ends, unti lyou can take no more. 5. CONTROLS! Nowdays controllers have upwards of 8 different buttons. DOnt get me wrong, these buttons do serve a purpose, but alot of modern controlls are needlessly complex, and if you dont have the manual to the game depending on the game it can take a while ( 30 mins) to work out. Hell, people still buy cart only space invaders off ebay, i bet it dont take them long to figure out the controls, maybe 15 seconds at maximum? The VCS offers so much and asks so little. And yes, bieng poor i did grow up with one. but before you say Aha! Lopsided view! i have been exposed to modern consoles PS2, Xbox 360. yes the graphics are good, but thats not the point im arguing. VCS games generally dont have a end, but the ones that do( Raiders of the lost ark, etc) actually take time to figure out and play. and with no save function you either leave the 2600 on, or turn it off and start again, which to me enhance the challenge. And the later levels of secret quest. many people say having to map the harder levels of it bring the game down. i think these people need to go cry and play on thier xbox 360 cause i like mapping things. pulling out a pencil and paper. its fun to me. My friends just dont understand how i can play in thier eyes "a inferior piece of crap". i say " If my 2600 is so crrap, why can i play phoenix for ever while a few days later your taking your new copy of flat out 2 down to gametraders to trade it off cause youve beaten it?" this usually shuts them up. Hell, any older system like NES, Sega MASTER system, SNES and megadrive all most all games on these consoles like lufia or Super Metroid all have save functions and have sufficent lengthy gameplay and diffucilty to make these classics. So what went wrong? Still i prefer the 2600. cheap, easy to find, some great games like phoenix and adventure and raiders of the lost ark ad space invaders all avaliable cheaply, i know what ill be buying. you just cant compete with ataris pickup and play. i collect for 2600, knowing its impossible to get every game. im not going to hunt down a NTSC motorodeo when i can easily pickup a PAL version much cheaply and easier. im just aiming ti get as many games as i can, and im not concernd about buying prototypes, im happy to see a dump of a new prototype, exciting! My issue is not with the graphics, its the gameplay and the price of these new games and the associated console and tthe shocking trend in people of my age. Its sad whats conisiderd retro by my age group. if anyone actually reads this please, please comment.! 2600 FOREVER!

Condor Attack - sprite collision detection is awfull, screen jumps every 5 secinds and the birds can fire even when youve illed them ( while explosion sprite is on screen) if it wernt for these problems it'd be actually enjoyable.
