There are two versions of this game out there. One that has an instruction manual (Just a piece of paper) and nothing but an image of a controller on the back, and one with the instructions printed on the back. This is the version with the Instructions on a piece of paper. -

I've been REALLY curious about the tap locations for each of the polynomial counters. I already know these for the 5-bit poly counter, which are bits 3 and 5 If anyone knows what these polynomial tap locations are, let me know please.

Hello All. Finally got myself a Harmony Cartridge {Probably 10 years after everybody else it seems}. AND, it seems I'm living {or am going to live} the nightmare I've feared with these {multi}carts in the past {fortunately, I've had no major problems with any of the other multicarts/flashcarts I've obtained up til now}. First, I've only got an AV modded 7800 {2 actually} to test it on. When I first received it, I was able to briefly {1-2 seconds at most} on occasion get what appeared to be a garbled menu screen on one of my consoles. Other than that, it has been as if no cartridge is inserted in the console {i.e. single or multiple solid lines or blank screen, etc.}. I've since compounded the problems, and believe I have now deleted some of the main files/directories {i.e. program files that had the loader etc..-My SD card only has the following folders now: Drivers; Homebrew; Manual}. So, my 1st question is, can anybody guide me on how to rebuilding the directories that I've deleted? But, from there: Am I perhaps just out of luck with this thing? I've definitely cleaned the contacts as well as they can be cleaned. Is there any chance the problem is with the Cart itself? I've been attempting to contact the seller {I think Batari}, but have not been able to do so before extending the problems with this. If it's potentially the consoles causing the problems, then I do not wish to start fumbling with them-so that might be a dead-end for me because I do not want to buy a spare 2600 if I don't know pretty much 100% that the problem isn't with the hardware/cart? This concern is particularly real because I think I did the re-install of the Firmware properly before deleting everything tonight {only thing I struggled with was: What's the root directory? I chose E: for that choice}.? But, would that briefly appearing garbled menu indicate the hardware/cart itself is fine? or might it indicate the problem could be with the hardware/cart itself? {A note here: After attempting to reinstall the firmware, I no longer was able to get that garbled menu anymore}. Lots of questions. So, sorry this inquiry is all over the place. {I went back and put bolds where the main inquiries are for this topic}. I hate to think I've got an unusable "BRICK" on my hands, which, of course, was by no means cheap, but I also don't want to piss anyone off if I were to pursue recourse in that regards {Some day I'd like to be ahead of the curve with all of the great products out here to be had - such as, perhaps, a 7800 multicart?}-{Note here too-I'm currently licking my wounds after "discovering" the latest SGM for C-vision, only to realize I just missed the pre-order deadline-so I surely am a hard luck story here}. I'd hate to accept that my knowledge of the 2600 might remain limited to Seaquest, Phoenix and the several other titles I have, but am afraid the current can of worms I see open before me is not going to resolve itself anytime soon, and, if it can't be resolved soon, then I may have to bury it in my backyard or crawlspace until I forget it and stop trying to resolve it. I hope someone can make sense of the mess here that lies above, and help me on my way to resolution? {or make me an offer to get it off my hands? lol - I hope?} Thanks.

So I received an Atari 2600 a while back and in the box was this. They seem to be chips but I have no cart to plug them in. Was piracy widespread when the 2600 was in it's prime and what would this be plugged into? Here is another picture mind you I own proper carts for all of these titled carts. I am just interested on how this process worked. What are your thoughts or information on this, have any of you found anything like this when collecting? -
Publisher Collection Completion Show and Tell + Tips. Like many new collectors who come to the Atari 2600 getting a new fully complete collection in 2018 is a nearly impossible task. However getting a subset collection is a doable feat. Do any of you have a complete collection of any given publisher, Activision, Atari, Coleco, Sega, Imagic, Konami, Mattel, CBS, Fox, M-Network, ect? Does anyone have any advice or any publishers that may be an easy goal? Also if you want to show off a complete collection feel free to show it below. If you have a collection goal other than a complete Publisher collection what subset are you perusing? Feel free to give any advice or tips / tricks you found along the way.

Hello from a Greek Atari fan since 1986, when my parents bought me my Atari 800XL and later my Atari 520STFM... Here is my hardware collection of Atari Computers and other systems. There is a magazines, handhelds and software collection too which I'll post it in the near future, I hope... Thanks for keeping the Atari spirit alive!

Label variant fight: Which one is your preferred label variant and why? For Atari carts do you prefer the Text labels, Picture Labels, Silver Labels, Red Labels. Do you like the classic Activision labels or the later variants? Imagic text labels or picture labels. You get the picture.

Though I've posted about my channel and videos before, I figured keeping a central place in one thread would make more since. While I have done more videos than I will likely ever post in here, I thought it would be good to start off with my 40th official video for my channel and to start off April right. I present my unboxing and game play review for the Neo Games home-brew release of the limited boxed edition of Spies in the Night for the Atari 2600! Enjoy and thank you for watching!- 57 replies

Does anyone know why the controller ports are on the back of the machine. It seems to be an interesting design decision that was not emulated really by any other companies unless you count the PC. Did it serve a purpose other than to make room for the woodgrain. Even the Atari 2600 Jr still had the back controller ports but no woodgrain. What gives?

Data informs our decisions it helps us keep track of what we have and what we may want to get. Some people are creating database apps for managing their collections but these rely on outside data providers. I want to add an extra game provider section to Telllico my collection database app of choice as it already can manage everything from movies to book or your own custom collection. I am wondering are there any mostly complete databases of Atari 2600 games that can be downloaded and used? If not are there any open APIs for querying any existing databases that can be used in an Open Source database app? Any information or experience is appreciated.

It's a simple open and shut case, has anyone tried to come out with (even in prototype form) a playable (and graphically faithful) 2600 version of this great 1981 arcade classic from Taito. I have Qix for the 5200, and while there were two versions of Tempest that were made for the 2600 that never got released on cartridge form, including the original now-infamous blue-speedo patterned version, to go along with the Keithen Hayenga masterpiece we 5200 owners were so delightfully treated to, nobody ever tried their hand at developing let alone releasing a faithful-enough version of Qix for the 2600. Will someone, anyone, try and come up with a finished, cartridge-ready version of Qix? Even a working binary for us to include on our Harmony Encore SD card multicart will do us just fine. It should be just simple physics, the 2600 should not have any trouble being able to display it, although we know the qix on it will be flickering (it was also flickering on the 5200 version especially in later waves with two qixes) so we can deal with that easily

Swordquest podcast: http://www.arcadeattack.co.uk/podcast-march-3-2018/ Hi guys, Please see above link to listen to my tribute / story of the infamous Atari competition; Swordquest for Arcade Attack's latest podcast! I also have a few exclusive quotes from Tod Frye (the games creator) thrown in for good measure. A proper podcast interview with Tod is scheduled for the near future! I look at the main drivers of the competition, the history of the four games, the comics and prizes, the winners and losers of the competition and what could have been... FYI: Sorry about the sound quality of this particular podcast. We had a few issues with the file export and rather than scrap the pod completely we wanted to give our listeners a warning. This is not out usual sound quality. Sorry. Kind regards Adrian
