What's wrong with this picture?

[Krytol]

OK, here's a little contest just for fun.

 

Here is a (blurry) picture of me playing my Atari 2600:

 

 

How many unusual/out of place things can you find in this picture?

[inextremis staple]

well

im not sure but are all of those games 2600 games

and mega man II is playing on the tv

other than that im not sure

 

oh and not necesarrily out of place but is that a promo system?

[Lemmi]

heh yeah the Mega Man playing on the TV and the colecovision cart in the 2600 and the Cart on top of the Gorf cart looks odd to me

 

Oh and the nice looking 70's lamp in the back ground

[minorleagueguy]

that is an atarisoft pac-man

[MikeMika]

Mega Man II

Coleco Cart in system

AtariSoft Pac-Man(?) above the Gorf not 2600 compatible.

Your taste in lamps?

The power switch is in the off position.

[Scooterb23]

Does anyone else think that Kaboom! cartridge looks funny? Both of mine have a pink / purple label.

[Krytol]

WOW! You guys got everything:

 

Megaman II on TV

Colecovision cart

Atarisoft Pac-Man

Kaboom! is green instead of pink/purple

Power switch is OFF

and

Taste in lamps (!)

 

Two "bonus" things are:

 

The TV is on ch.4 instead of 2 or 3 (but could be possible if played through VCR)

There are 3 Pac-Man carts stacked on top of each other - I probably wouldn't bring all 3 out to play.. but you never know.

 

Good job. I'll make the next one tougher.

And maybe with a prize.

[The Night Phantom]

WOW!  You guys got everything

Yay for us!

Thrice the fun!! (3×0=0 )

[Lemmi]

Nevermind im goofy

Oncec again I was kinda late on this one, but it was a great topic.

[DeV0]

And the Astroblast cart looks like an intellivision cart,,,

Yeah, those Mattel carts are basicaly an Intellivision cart on a 2600 adapter.

Ha! Good one.

Hi,

 

The only other thing I see that wasn't mentioned is the color/black&white swith is in the b/w position.

Welcome, 5th Ghost! Are we relatives?

 

I noticed that switch’s position also, but for some games it doesn’t affect color. Still, it’s more relevant than that hideous lamp-thing; so, maybe it’s better that you pointed it out.

[CrazyImpmon]

I was late in this one but I can tell it's Megaman in FLashman stage on TV. Also that Atarisoft cart, I think it's for Intellivision. (unless Atarisoft did C64, then it'd be impossible to tell apart)

[ROBOTRON2084]

Oh look!

 

A kool-aid stain on your Atari! Did anybody get that???

[CrazyImpmon]

Hmmm... On top of the stack with the 3 Pac Mans, there appears to be a Parker Bros cart with no end label. A sensible collector wouldn't be caught dead with a badly ripped or missing end label.

[AtariDude]

I am not sure if someone pointed this out but the picture looks like it is in color and I think the 2600 is set to Black and White. Am I correct in this?

[Albert]

Cool idea for a contest. I started looking at the picture noticing the various things that were awry, but of course I was much too late to contribute anything new. Guess I'll just have to wait for the next one!
