supaevil Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Howdy, me and my friend were playing the atari 2600 for about and hour or so then the screen started flickering. My friend said it overheated but ever since all my games just flicker i can make it out but it is jumpy how do i fix this? Anyone know? Laser blast is the best game. Mountain king had the best music.

Nukey Shay Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Did you check the cable and the box? I seriously doubt that it overheated...I was practically glued to my console when I was a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supaevil Posted May 31, 2002 Author Share Posted May 31, 2002 yes thats the first thing i checked was the connection to the t.v. i have a sega genesis wich is also connected through the radio shack tv to game adapter and when i turn the genesis on it works fine no jumpy picture.

+Mitch Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 If it's an auto switchbox then that's your problem. The older Atari system's require a manual switchbox. Mitch http://atari7800.atari.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
