Stella's day out in Cornwall

[Buckaroo]

Picked up a SONY Trinitron KV-1400UB CRT TV today (about 80 miles away from me) for playing Atari games. 

 

On the train home I hooked it up to a TV Boy II and got some cool pics of some 2600 games backed by the Cornish coastline and countryside.

 

Thanks to "We Have What You Need" in Penzance for supplying the TV and to the GWR staff for not kicking me off.

Loving the NTSC Atlantis colours running on a PAL machine..... 

 

not.

 

 

Nice CRT though.

Cool!

 

I never would have considered that a "portable" system... ?

 

(I am also impressed that British trains have proper electrical outlets.)

PAL monitors showing NTSC colours suck.

 

I was annoyed at myself for not bringing a PAL system. 

I've got loads of other Ataris. I just grabbed the TV Boy because it was small.

They're meant to be for charging phones or laptops. 

 

Some of the staff were laughing like crazy when they saw it.
