phaxda #1 Posted January 14, 2010 I searched for instructions online but didn't find any, just mention of an overlay at Atarimania: They also had unintuitive keystroke controls, and in order to clarify, they came with vinyl mats that you placed over the Atari's keyboard to help kids (and adults) figure out what button did what. These of course would get lost (and they'd get warped and not align correctly with the keyboard anyways) and so users would have to try pressing random keys. Big Bird's funhouse was the worst for having mystery keystrokes. Kids though still loved this peek-a-boo style game. I bought this on eBay because apparently I can't resist even the silliest of 8-bit purchases these days. So, anyone have an overlay or know where to find one?

I picked this up a few months ago for my 5 year old. I found the overlays at Best Electronics. They have manuals also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking about Big Bird's Egg Drop for the 2600. I checked my catalog and didn't see BB's Funhouse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
