Hi everyone, I made a "grail" addition to my collection this weekend and thought I'd share. I finally found the elusive Magnavox Odyssey 4305! I'd love to know who else on here owns one, as I 'd love to work up some numbers on how many are left. I bought it with 2 sets of paddles, and the guy said his grandmother had originally bought 3 (I gathered that this was the last one they still had), which explained the extra controllers. I never thought I would find one, especially since they dont stand out obviously, But I am ecstatic to start the cleaning processes and a few minor repairs to make it a bit safer. (sorry for the picture being sideways, I can never get it to post them correctly )

Recently picked up a pong variant arcade curiosity: Allied Leisure Hesitation The thing has a unique cabinet design and numitron scoring. I wrote up an article about it with an embedded video demo. http://www.arcade72.com/allied-hesitation-1974/

I have an Atari Hockey Pong that is overall in pretty good condition and works quite well in all respects except one; when the ball hits a paddle in game, it fails to register and just passes straight through. Anyone know what might cause this?

On Saturday, September 29 we are arranging this year's edition of Retrogathering, an annual retro gaming and computing expo since 2006. This year we have two international guests in form of Rob Fulop who probably doesn't need any further presentation on this forum, as well as Terry Diebold who makes a visit to showcase the Nintendo PlayStation prototype. We also have Gunnar Lindberg who was the editor of the Swedish magazine called Nintendo-Magasinet, once with 50.000 subscribers plus 15.000 copies sold in the newsstands. Since Rob visits us, we'll showcase some of the Imagic games plus that one of our crew members displays some of his huge collection of Software Projects games, including but not limited to all the Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy titles for every computer you could imagine. There will also be a market with some 60 tables and vendors selling retro games and systems, t-shirts, merchandise and more, plus that we'll host an auction. Our gaming section will consist of some 25 different consoles and computers, plus a small selection of arcade games provided by a partner. The gaming competitions will include a highscore competition in Night Driver on the Atari 2600 and of course the inofficial Swedish championship in Atari Hockey-Pong. Location: Växhuset, Västerås Date: Saturday, September 29 Opening hours: 10-18 (members in our association get in at 9:30) Entrance: 100 SEK Website in Swedish: http://retrogathering.se/?page_id=4469

I just stumbled across these exclusive games found in the Atari Flashback 2 while I was surfing the web. I do believe these roms aren't available for download anywhere on AtariAge. The games I found were Adventure 2, Arcade Pong, Asteroids Deluxe, Lunar Lander, Space Duel, and Yars' Return. NOTE: I REALLY had to search for some of these!

Thanks in advanced! =) --- Sly DC ---

http://www.arcadeattack.co.uk/al-alcorn/ Needless to say, if this guy had ballsed up Pong, the video game industry may not have existed today. Now we’ve blown your mind I’m pleased to see he absolutely smashed Pong so let us introduce the gaming legend, godfather of the industry which we love, Al Alcorn. Enjoy Adrian

Next Saturday, September 30 we are arranging Retrogathering 2017. It will be our 16th event counting since the beginning as a forum meeting in 2006, now clocking in at around 800-1000 visitors on a day. This year we will (of course!!) have a major exhibition on the Atari VCS/2600, including displaying a few games that were dug out in the desert the other year. We'll try to display as many commonly available models as we have access to, including Sears Telegames and the 2800, as well as having some overlap to Activision while it doesn't celebrate any even number of years (ok, 38 is an even number). We will also have an exhibition on the Street Fighter series of games, movies and memorabilia. The market will have a bit over 50 tables of vendors selling video games and vintage computer stuff. There will also be an auction for those who didn't make it to get an own table. We'll have a gaming section of some 20+ different consoles and computers (mainly the common ones this time), plus a half dozen arcade games. There will also be game competitions such as Warlords tournament on the Atari 2600, Pinball Dreams highscore competition on the Amiga and our main event, the inofficial Swedish championship in Atari Hockey-Pong. Our reigning champion since three years ago is unable to make it this time, so we'll be crowning a new champion. There will also be a quiz relating to old advertisements. There will also be a speaker in terms of Per Håkansson who approached the Atari agent Cherry already in the late 70's to introduce the VCS in warehouses. Per later moved on to introducing the Pac-Man franchise and much more. Another new item for this year is that we'll have a decidated children's room with beads and some video games, for those parents who prefer to enjoy rest of the expo on their own and children who prefer doing something creative instead of just tagging along. Location: Växhuset, Västerås Date: Saturday, September 30 Opening hours: 10-18 (members in our association get in at 9:30) Entrance: 100 SEK Website in Swedish: http://retrogathering.se/?page_id=4123

ive just leared of the little oddity known as "marx tv tennis". its an electro mechanical pong console, I never would have guessed such a thing existed. I know electromechanical arcade machines were popular before affordable displays became avalible, and ofcouse in timeless classics like pinball and skiball, but never had heard of such technology in a home console. does anyone know of any other electromechanical home consoles? the marx tv tennis 1974 odd isn't it? you know, in that I must find one now kind of way.

ok i had one of these when i was younger or rather my parents did and let me at it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252584920795and i manage to break it so it got thrown out, now i decided to get another to have a go with. so i found the above on ebay and purchased it as it was quite cheap etc. the description said they the guy cant test it, so i thought thats because he has a new fancy flat screen that would not be compatible with rf and thought that after plugging it into a crt it would be fine. so when it arrived i tried this and it just outputs bad noise, it sounds like the ball is moving between two walls that are 5mm apart if you can imagine that type of noise. i took it apart and it looks like some batteries had leaked and possibly some electrolytic capacitors have leaked. i can get new capacitors as they have values on and try those but there are other components that i dont know what they are. i have tried to look for schematics and diagrams for this specific model but there dont appear to be any as such apart from a pinout of the processor it uses which is basically pong on a chip. does anyone know of any schematics for this specific item so i can see a parts list etc? i have my friends atari pong machine in bits too as im putting in a composite mod so it can be played on a new tv, my aim it to eventually do the same with this i will add innard pictures later when not at work thanks

today my vga to hdmi converter arrived i ordered from ebay so i decided to plug everything together and do some games playing i had already installed the f18a the other week and know that it works fine because i have played games using it briefly to test it the games i attempted tonight that a[[eared to cause issues are the following: pong from the pong / computer space box set, this game does nothing at all. i know the game works because it works fine on the same machine using the vdp chip and still works on my French board the re release of moon patrol, this game works however it crashes in about 2 seconds once the game has started (in my case beginner mode) the issue occurs if the vga to hdmi box is connected or not can anyone confirm this or know what could be the issue? could changing the f18a jumpers offer a fix? anyone have any ideas?

Let´s have a look at the very interesting Pong game console ES 2201 from Philips. This came out in several European countries in 1975, the system had even game cartridges and the controllers plugged into those cartridges and not the main unit!

Bought it at a local Recycler/Resale Shop for $10, had all controllers, cords, and light gun. all works. -
The original circuit was only splitted in functional groups and divided out of 3 circuitboards. The first board generates the video-signal and the second board generates the ball and the paddles and controls both. PONG is already playable. The third board generates the 7-segment-display, counts the scores and displays they and controls the whole game. The schematic was redrawn complete, the most parts of the logical circuit are identical with the original. There are no great changes regarding the original schematic.
