    I bought the Atari/Genesis to PC one and I like it quite a bit. It did get stuck in customs, though. I had packages from UK and Japan reach me sooner. I also got a 2600-daptor D9 to tide me over in the mean time, which turned out to be a similar shaped adapter.

    The Dig on PC has a Lunar Lander clone. 

    The original versions of Pitfall the Mayan Adventure have a port of the Atari 2600 Pitfall hidden in it.

    Not quite the same, but the GB Space Invaders has an actual SNES version that can be played when the game is used with a Super Game Boy.

    The Goemon series has various versions of older games, most of them only having one level, with the exceptions being Time Pilot in Goemon 4 SFC and Quarth (aka Block Hole, aka Block Game) in Goemon DS.

    Maniac Mansion DoTT has the original game hidden in it (the files included can also be used to play the original in Scumm VM).

    Donkey Kong 64 has the original Donkey Kong and Jetpac hidden in it. 

    Pac-Man 2/Hello Pac-Man has Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man (or a clone of Ms. Pac named Pac Jr in the case of the Genesis version, not to be confused with Jr. Pac-Man) hidden in it.

    I wonder if a similar distribution scheme to some movies would work. Buy the physical and get a code for the digital version. It has mostly been avoided in the games' industry, though the re-release of Horizon Zero Dawn for PS4 came with the digital (though the digital and physical can't be installed at the same time).

    I know right?   Talk about mixed messaging 🤣    I wonder how this commercial worked out for them BITD?

    Not to mention that Atari actually did plan to publish a port of Pac-Man for the Colecovision (though it was never officially released). And Jungle Hunt was released by Atarisoft for CV with better graphics than those on the 5200. Of course, these versions were made afterwards, but it's funny that they ended up publishing games for a system they trashed.

    Here's the link for Galagon in the AtariAge store:

    Thanks for the link. I plan to buy the rom when it's made available for purchase so I can play it on the encore. I'm also curious about updates to the website since I heard merchandise will be made available there too. I tried searching for more information on the site on the forums, but came up empty. Oops, I thought the Champ Games site was linked in the last post, but it wasn't (I meant to quote the previous post that mentioned the site). It has direct links to the store and some of the links there point to a sign in page.

    I'm playing this via harmony on my 7800 using edladdins  Seagull adapter for using genesis controllers.
    it only detects 1 button and checked it with my 7800 Xevios cart and two button works there with difficulty switch set to different setting.
    I look for my prolines and see if will detect two buttons and get back to on it

    Did you try using the Genesis controller on the 2600 without the adapter? The adapter is used to make the Genesis controller work like a 7800 controller, but I heard that it's not possible for the 7800 controller's second button to work in 2600 mode?

    Looks very impressive. I wonder what the heck happened with the SG-1000 port. It doesn't even try to pull off an isometric perspective and only has 2 levels.

    I will say that using composite with the DAC is not a great experience. Kev seems to have perfectly replicated a very bad Model 1 Genesis composite output (which, respect, but not really what I was looking for) in the sense that there is a lot of rainbow banding or whatever you call it. Unless this was revisited, it's not a great way to play.

    I have a TMSS model 1 with excellent sound quality and it doesn't have the rainbow banding that the Mega SG has when using composite via the DAC. S-Video looks awesome, though. Super NT doesn't have the issue with composite.

    Yeah, my mom's room was completely destroyed (thankfully we weren't home at the time), but we're all ok. Most of the other rooms were intact, but there was some water damage and the roof needed to be replaced. House is currently being repaired and they started on the roof. 

     

    DAC is a digital analog converter. It lets you use the Mega SG on a CRT. I used an adapter for S-Video. I tried composite, but it has a terrible rainbow effect. Looks nice in S-Video, though.

    At least Sega CD works via Mega Everdrive Pro, including a few of the problem games that wouldn't work on the latest firmware with the Sega CD model 2, on Mega SD using the Sega CD 1 bios. Too bad I'm without a CRT currently so I can't play Lethal Enforcers in S-Video with the DAC until I move back in to the house (tornado knocked a tree into the back of the house).

    I mean https://www.nintendoage.net/ goes to a new Nintendo Age site rather than gocollect now, but gocollect is still there and I'm not sure what the deal is with the new site (attempt at revival? It currently has less content than video game sage). Confusing. 

     

    doh: nintendoage.com still goes to gocollect. Not sure how I ended up at the .net site.

    The problem fixed itself after I ran an older version of Stella and then 6.3. It seems to have been a configuration error. After going to the older version and going back, every game that crash worked again, including the Champ programming games.

    Another Mega Sg issue that needs tending to concerns playing Lunar on the Sega CD. The game literally reboots when you push Start on the title screen, and a quick Google search reveals that this has been outstanding for quite a while.

    The latest update added more Sega CD issues and both Final Fight and Sonic CD had issues when I used my model 2 Sega CD. I still had issues with bios loading, if I remember correctly, as well.
