2600lover

Well I'll take a look at the manual, thanks for finding that for me, never thought about that!!!! And I'll give it a shot! Thanks

Yeah I have to pick one of those up cheep somewhere, or ask for it for my B-Day.

I dont think Im really understanding the game. I have it on the emulator and have played it a few times, maybe someone can answer my questions What are the numbers for under the launch pad when you first start the game? What is the little graph for at the bottom of the screen? What does it symbolize? And should I be heading toward the planet that looks like Earth? I never seem to be getting anywhere when I play And how do you refuel?

You all know what Im talking about right? The little door thing that goes back and forth when you stick it in the console? I think its a dust shield , anyway, I have a few that are stuck down, have any of you guys came up with a way to fix the problem? THANKS in advance!!

LOL, thats a good one to, but, if my collection ever gets off one shelf, see website below , I like the chip in the brain idea!!

Isnt that the damn truth!!!

Guess that means no, LOL. Yeah I would have to think you right up there. Pac-Man, and Pitfall must be on top!

I think he just printed the damn thing out and stuck it on the bottle, thats what it looks like to me! But if he did pick it up @ E3, all the better to him even though I dont think that .99 is going up anymore, lol.

LOL!!!

Well thats good, sure the hell cant throw the stuff away!!!!!!!

Well, I was just looking at some of your websites that have photos of you collection room and all that Atari stuff, and it came to my mind, "Where the hell does all that stuff go when they die?" so seeing that my collection is nuttin compared to yours, I figured I would ask you all wheres all this stuff going to go? Seeing you spent a ton of time finding and spending all the $$ on the stuff, your family cant just throw it out, have you made any plans as to what is going to happen to the stuff "afterwards"?

That was the best music video I've ever seen!!! No doubt!!!

Thank you!!!! Couldnt seem to find anything when I looked around.

It would be nice if I could have a link to a place to purchase it!

Hello everyone. I recentaly found a 2600 vader and a complete w/ box as well as all the inserts and all system manuals,5200, but took the 2600 instead because the 5200 had no games !! Do they make an adapter to stick in the 5200 to play 2600 games? If they do, I will ask for it for my birthday in September and go back and take the 5200 instead, ( in my grandmothers basement ) And it would be nice if you could list what exactly it does and the website you found it on!!!!!!! THANKS

Yeah its a 4 switch vader. Damn you guys sure know what your talking about!!

Well I do think it would be wise to open it up and clean it out seeing its been sitting in a basement for the past 20 some odd years. So can anyone advise me on how to do this? Obvisoly remove the screws on the bottom, but is there anything I should watch out for, like the flying spring with the controlers?

I want one!!!!!!

Hello again. Where would I find a authorized repair tec to do a check over of my system? Is there a website you go to and then mail them in? Whats the story?

Oh yes! There we are!! Ok thanks guys!!

So I downloaded Stella, so now where do I get the games?

Ok so I downloaded Stella, so now where do I get the games from?

Ummm..................yeah, Im not seein' it. It says something along the lines of, "Is there an emulator for the 2600?". Then where the A. for answer, there is nothing and it goes on to the next question.

Now I know that collectors download their games on to their computers in case of a "cart crash", but how do you get the emulator? Is it a program you download to your PC? Once you have it, where do you download the games from? If this has been answered before please forgive me, but I just see it used so often and wanted to know the details about it.

So lets say you were playing a game like Asteroids or Spider Fighter, would it be easier to play w/o a spring on the fire button?
