AtariAdventure 2600 Review #1: Combat
Hello everyone, and welcome to my 2600 Reviews blog! On here I will review through my current collection of 2600 cartridges and when my collection continues to extend. I will also gladly take requests for games to review, if I have the game in my collection. Let's get this started!
Combat was released on the same day as the Atari 2600 on September 11th, 1977. It would be the pack in game for the 2600 from 1977 to 1982, the golden years of the console. Combat was included with the console, along with an AC adapter, TV box to plug the system into your television, two joysticks, and a pair of paddle controllers. Eight addtional games were available at launch, but sold separately.
Combat boasted of having 27 games in one cartridge, but they were variants of the Tank, Biplane, and Jet game modes.
The main objective in all game modes is to shoot the other player more times than the other player can shoot you before the time runs out. (The game was two player only.)
The first and most iconic mode is the Tanks. Using the Game Mode switch, you can switch between straight missiles, guided missiles, Tank Pong, in which the missiles you fire are deflected off the walls, and Invisible Tanks, in which your tank is only seen if you fire a missile.
The second mode is the Biplanes. This time there are no walls, you only come out on the side parallel to the side you exited the screen on. This time, you can decide between straight missiles, guided missiles, and machine guns. You also have the option of a one on one, two on two tandem, or a three Biplane tandem against one giant Bomber that equals the size of the three Biplane tandem. Instead of the maze with the Tanks, you had the option for two clouds you can fly behind to hide yourself from your oppenent.
The third and final mode are the Jets. This mode is very identical to the Biplanes, with the same map being used as the Biplanes. You could decide between straight missiles or guided missiles, the same map options as the Biplanes mode, and the option of a one on one, two on two, and a three on three dogfight.
Opinion:
I really love the Tanks and Biplane game modes. Tank Pong and Invisible Tanks are the most entertaining along with the Bomber vs. Three Biplanes. Only if your the three Biplanes. (LOL!)
Only complaints I have is there is no single player mode, as this game is two player only. The Bomber is one large target and only fires one giant straight missile while the three Biplanes each fire their own missile, which you almost can't avoid as a bomber. (Bullshit and Unfair!!! But fun if you are the Biplanes.) The Jet mode is almost an exact clone as the Biplanes mode excluding the Bomber matchup, and is pretty boring.
Overall Grade: B-
Final Thoughts:
Combat was a solid launch title and helped get the system off the ground, along with getting consumers to buy the other games. This game is lacking a single player mode, leading the game to be super boring without a second player. But, with the second player this game is fun and entertaining with the Tanks and Biplanes, but boring with the Jets. This game reminds me of Tank Trouble, without the powerups. The Tank battles and different game modes, along with the dogfights with the Biplanes are also fun and oddly intense, with you trying to avoid your potentially competitive friend or family member. Overall this is a fun and intense game for two players, but very boring for the single player.
Tell me the next game you want to see in the comments below, and I will also gladly take other's opinions on the game I reviewed.
Happy gaming!

Thirteenth (13th) Leader BBS
June 8, 2018pjones1063
Telnet: 13leader.net:8023 SSH: ipnot.click:8022 Software: Mystic Connection: Telnet Nodes: 24
Location: Vineland, ON, Canada
13th Leader is a reboot of an 8-bit Atari 800 XL BBS from back in the late 1980’s! Originally hosted out of Hamilton Ontario Canada! Back in the 80’s we ran on 8-bit “Home Grown” BBS software on 2 x 5.24 floppy drives. Still hosted in Southern Ontario but now on an Ubuntu LXD container running Mystic BBS. New users are always welcome!
A reboot of a ATARI BBS?!! Nice!!
Some good starting message activity. Actually enjoyed that because there is a lot of conversations about the Atari 8-bit there and other talk. Check it out! Hard Core BBS

Free speech for all. The place on the Internet to come if you have an opinion about something, and without worrying about being Zucked or censored by The Zuck (Mark Zuckerberg).

[5] Freedom of Speech 2Which, Quit, or [1]:
So I sent a message. It is nice when you have the control keys and live editing. I had this in Wildcat mode so maybe that had something to do with it.
There were two messages in the freedom of speech area, so I checked them out. And I've decided going forward, especially from this visit, that what is said on a BBS needs to stay there. But saying that for a new BBS they had messages, and so we'll see how this goes.
Sounds promising. I like the idea of old BBS craziness! Love the name. The telnet address defaults to port 23... I bet that gets a lot of hits from Chinese spammers.
So this was a C=64 C-Net BBS. My favorite BBS software of all time since that was what I used on the Unknown BBS back in the 80s.
So from there to Amiga 3000 and then to a Winserver. The future is a "old school with a touch of today." Sounds good.
250 games with 6 discs of PD software for downloading. Nice!
Local message base had four messages on it. First message May 29th. Tried to reply but I guess I need to be validated. Fine.
Looks like this sysop has alternate set ups going...
Four new BBSs down, 16 more to go.- Read more...

Next music to compose after Africa by Toto?
The way I've selected Africa by Toto was by searching the Greatest Hits of 1982. The number of views on Youtube for the song Africa released in September 1982 is very high, but the song isn't present in the Greatest Hits of 1982, but in the one in 1983, which surprised me.
Anyway, the list of Greatest Hits included the obvious "Survivor - Eye of the Tiger", but also a whole bunch of songs that could have been interesting to Coleco-fy.I'm curious what could be your picks of 1982 Hits. I've set a poll but couldn't include all songs in it.
Since I don't think I can compose any song with the ColecoVision sound chip, I'm asking you to pick several of your favorites in the poll.

Project 65XE: eh maybe we should do something
Yea its been since September of 2017 since I actually did anything, but I was re-arranging my shelf of stuff the other day and said "hey you do not have any projects that are paying you money for a couple weeks, put down the brand new (to me) coco 3 and work on the Atari!"
In my last update I cut a gigantic hole in the front of my case to accommodate the LCD that goes with the integrated SIO2SD, since then I have trimmed it out, added a acrylic front and replaced the 65XE name badge. The badge I had was actually in pretty good shape, I did not want to cut it in half, so I gave it to a buddy who needed one. I ordered a silver and black plastic replacement off of eBay, and it looks good, but my only complaint would be the material is a bit too thick so it stands a tiny bit proud of the case, though not that big of a deal.
With the LCD fitted into place its now time to figure out where the SIO2SD buttons will live, which is when I noticed the LCD screen crashes directly into the keyboard. The only sensible choice at this point is to cut a notch in the keyboard! I took the keyboard apart figured out where I needed to cut and how far I could cut before I would need to cut the Mylar circuit sheet, I did not want to cut that so if I ever have to replace it, it would be a drop in without a problem.
Now that the keyboard is able to fit back into the case, I can go about deciding where to place the buttons. I am leaning to a row above the function keys, as that seems like the most logical place without accidently hitting buttons while using the keyboard. I had considered going down one of the sides of the keyboard (and yea I would have clearance, I checked) but in fake typing I hit the cut tape of buttons off the keyboard pretty quickly ... not that they would be standing a full quarter inch off the top of the case, but its something to think about
I also obtained a ultimate cart in a trade deal, I printed a new case matching my blue black and grey color scheme (remember the power LED is now blue, the LCD is black text on a blue background, and the buttons are blue), but our beater i3 printer at work is leaving some funky artifacts in the starting layers. That sucks but I am not bothered to fiddle with it too much since I already spent time printing a cart shell at work heh
eventually I need to give a strong dose of retrobrite to those keycaps, but not today

Remember, i was looking a tutorial about Atari 2600 programming.... my idea in that moment the same that now.
YAY!! AYE!! WANNA KNOW HOW TO PROGRAMME A VCS PYJAMARAMA!!!
i was a little less anxious than now, lol, and i think i was reading :
Session 21: Sprites
Started by Andrew Davie, Aug 20 2003 7:59 PM
so... IS POSSIBLE TO READ A TABLE GRAPHICS?! WOW!!
when i read the excercises on Session 21 i wasn't able to do them all, but.... that table thing..... wtf is a table?!! read a table?
then i remember my hunger of code, just to see what is all this about, graphics....sound!! BUT HOW?!! (we are always on the run)
then, i read code... and code and code, being a newbie is something stresant and sometimes even confusing.
and may be--- that afternoon i found a table related to a playfield, then a playfield editor, so i think i found THE TABLE WORD.
That was enough to lead me at google and search again about graphics.
there it was, the SKIPDRAW thing!! jesus!! was too much for my newbie brain so in a matter of days i did at GOOGLE a new search .
SKIPDRAW site:atariage.com
SKIPDRAW couldn't use or understand it so i did it work my way, a bad and erroneous version of skipdraw, but it did work lol ...... the important thing was that I had learned my rainbow (from davie's tutorial) and my first graphic.
funny to remember. pure anxiety

Opinions on Harmony
I have a question for those of you who code homebrews: What is your opinion on the Harmony Cartridge? I found out about it yesterday(3/18/18) and took interest in getting one so I could play Princess Rescue and DK VCS along with other Homebrews using the Binaries acquired from the website, but, I want to support the homebrew scene by purchasing physical Homebrew games from the AA store. My question(s) for you guys is: what is your Opinion on Harmony? Would it be better to purchase the physical games when possible or save money and just get Harmony?

IBM Writing Assistant
MEMORIES LIMITED TO 640KB - IBM WRITING ASSISTANT
Sometime around 1985, I got my first personal computer, an IBM PCjr. Sure, sure, laugh... the Junior was and continues to be the brunt of many a joke.
But I learned a LOT on that PCjr. It's not really an exaggeration to say that it launched my career. I learned to program in BASIC and Turbo Pascal on the Junior. I learned a little about Assembly Language. I was introduced to the early online world of BBSes using its slow - even for the time - 300 baud modem. I played lots of games on it. And, I wrote papers for school on it.
Our PCjr came with a copy a word processor called IBM Writing Assistant. While I had used a computer before we the Junior, I'm almost positive that I had my first experience with a word processor on that Junior, and it was Writing Assistant.
Honestly, Writing Assistant was a pretty good, if basic, word processor. It had all the features I needed at the time: a nice WYSIWYG text mode interface that allows you to lay out text on the screen pretty much the way it will print out on paper, easy intuitive keys to move around the text, on-screen help, spell checker, the ability to mark text as bold and underlined, basic cut and paste operations, headers and footers.
It was good enough that I don't think I ever even considered switching to another word processor the entire time I used the PCjr. I think I stuck with it right until I switched to Windows 3.
I was dedicated to Writing Assistant to a fault. In fact, after I had been using Writing Assistant at home for many years, they "introduced" us to word processing at school. They taught us to use a program called "PFS: Write" on the Apple //'s. The first time I saw PFS: Write I blurted out, "They ripped off IBM Writing Assistant!" Of course, much later, I would come to find out that it was much the other way. "IBM Writing Assistant" was in fact an OEM rebranded version of PFS: Write, which had started out in the MS-DOS world.
Eventually, I did move on from Writing Assistant. Sometimes by force. In college, we had to use Enable. I had a job that forced me to use WordPerfect. That Windows word processor I mentioned earlier was WordStar Legacy. Eventually, like everyone else, I settled into Microsoft Word.
Recently, in a fit of nostalgia, I wondered if IBM Writing Assistant was as good as I remembered it. I still have the manuals, and the original 5.25" disks. And thanks to the wonders of DOSBox, it is now running on my modern computer. In fact, I wrote this little article using it. And the truth is, it's not that bad. For all the years of "advancement", the truth is, if you just want to write a short paper on something, it still works really well. Maybe I'll actually continue to do some writing with it. And thanks to its "print to file" feature I'll be able to import the text into
whatever I want.
How about you? Do you have any old programs that still hold up many years later despite being "obsolete"?

Just met Gerry Conway, the man who co-wrote Atari's original Swordquest series for DC and creator of the Punisher. I asked him about working on the unreleased Air World comic and he told me they never got far beyond a basic plot sadly and couldn't recall how the story would have ended. He did tell me about the process of writing a comic based on games though. He was invited to Atari's Sunnyvale HQ several times to test play and even take home many games for the VCS in order to get a feel for the direction and tone the comic should take. He even told me the story of how he was a tester for Tempest.

Atari 8-bit Game Scene
I've been watching videos of upcoming game releases on various platforms and I've noticed that sometimes developers get in a rut and we see far too many of the same types of games and not a lot of innovation. I guess what bothers me most is hearing of some new game coming out and then finding out it fits the following template:
1. Amazing full-color RastaConverter title screen. Probably a bigger executable than the game itself.
2. Amazing title screen music.
3. Pressing Start dumps you into some ho-hum puzzle game or some other simple concept that doesn't live up to the extravagant intro.
I realize we have tools to make impressive images and music now, but they make a simple game look worse by setting the standard too high. What I really want to see on the A8 is innovation. Either bring something to the A8 library that's been missing or come up with an experience no one's seen before.
I look at what's going on in the (admittedly larger) C64 community and it's pretty incredible what people are attempting there. People are writing impressive game engines for the Spectrum too even though they know they'll always look kinda mangy in the end. Of course, they can do stuff we can't do and we can do stuff they can't do so let's find more of those things. Then we can slap 70 color title screens on them.
And oh yeah, why do I find SID music to be so irritating after a while? Somehow I find myself suffering from sawtooth overload after just a few minutes. -

XEGS UAV Installation
I recently purchased a couple of UAV kits from Bryan, so I thought I'd document my installations.
http://atariage.com/forums/gallery/album/2096-uav-installation/
Initially I found it difficult to find installation information, but I soon realised that it was in all the forums, it just wasn't all in the same place.
The installation of the UAV mod in the XEGS was extremely easy. The most difficult part was deciding how I wanted to implement the mod, and my decision changed a few times and still is not yet complete.
I usually want to keep my machines in mint condition, unless something about them indicates that its not really worth it...maybe a broken case, repaired electronics, or I have more than one machine of a particular type in my collection. In this case, the machine I chose to mod had already been repaired by me.
http://atariage.com/forums/topic/258432-xegs-repair/?hl=%2Bhawk+%2Bxegs
I had originally planned to remove the 4050 chip when I installed the UAV but realised that if I did that I would lose the RF output. I don't use the RF output if I can help it but I wasn't sure whether I wanted to totally remove it. From the monitor photos you'll see that I went to the trouble of replacing the original LCD driver board with a TV tuner LCD controller board. https://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-controller-board-Kit-diy-VGA-HDMI-USB-TV-for-LCD-LED-Display-Monitor-Panel/152446068465?hash=item237e7e66f1:g:PlsAAOSwdGFYxLsS that allowed me to use RF in for some of my older machines including my 400.
I ended up soldering the socket that came with the UAV kit directly onto the pins of the 4050 chip and then plugging in the daughter board. It almost worked first time, however I hadn't realised that I had to provide a colour input signal to the daughter board. I removed the centre pin of the composite out socket from the motherboard and wired the UAV output directly to that. I also included the extra ground wire. I didn't have any small shielded cables so I used regular hookup wire.
You'll see from the photos in the album that there was not a great difference in the compisite signal before and after the mod. To be honest, the image was pretty good to start with. However, the S-video output made a big difference. I'd forgotten that my LCD monitor couldn't handle S-video, so I had to test it out on a CRT TV. I had yet to take photos of the S-video. I am also deciding how to fit the S-video socket on the rear of the XEGS. The socket I was able to buy locally is not the one that I'd prefer so I'm putting off installing that for a little bit longer.
I'll update again after I've completed that mod...then it will be on to the 400.
The 400 will be delayed until I can receive an Audio mod card from Bryan so that I can also get sound after bypassing the RF.

Install - UAV & AC in the 5200
Recommended board: Plug-In (if 4050 soldered in)
The 5200 may either have soldered or socketed 4050. This will affect the procedure somewhat so we'll start with instructions for a soldered in 4050:
Position the main PCB with the cartridge slot toward the back.
Soldered-in 4050:
1. Solder the 16-pin socket on top of the 4050. It is only necessary to solder pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 11. Soldering pin 16 is probably a good idea as well just to secure all corners of the socket. With a reasonably small iron tip, you should be able to work between the 4050 and the Antic chip behind it.
2. Connect a wire to the front pad of R17. This is the rightmost 1K resistor in front of the 4050. This will be the Color In wire.
3. Make sure the jumpers are configured for the 5200 and install the UAV in the socket with the green terminal toward the back.
4. Connect the Color-In wire to terminal 1 (the terminal closest to the right back corner). Make sure the wire is clamped in securely.
5. Attach your video cables to the UAV. The remaining terminals (2-6) are Ground, Chroma, Luma, Composite, and a 2nd Ground.
Socketed 4050:
I am currently revising this section as the 4050 is necessary to retain the reset hardware and the jumper method isn't reliable enough.
Removing the 4050 to plug in the UAV will disable the RF video. If this isn't a problem, then follow these steps:
1. Remove the 4050.
2. Connect a wire to the front pad of R17. This is the rightmost 1K resistor in front of the 4050. This will be the Color In wire.
3. Make sure the jumpers are configured for the 5200 and install the UAV in the socket with the green terminal toward the back.
4. Connect the Color-In wire to terminal 1 (the terminal closest to the right back corner). Make sure the wire is clamped in securely.
5. Solder a jumper across the back pads of R2 and R3 (only do this if the 4050 is removed!)
6. Attach your video cables to the UAV. The remaining terminals (2-6) are Ground, Chroma, Luma, Composite, and a 2nd Ground.
If you wish to retain RF video, then you'll need to keep the 4050. However, soldering a socket on top of the 4050 will raise the UAV up too high to replace the shielding which is necessary for decent RF performance. For this reason, it is preferable to get a Kit and build the UAV according to This post and then follow the instructions above (skipping step 5).
Installing an Audio Companion board:
1. Locate C37 and solder the Audio Companion board across its leads with ground (G) toward the front. Apply the soldering iron to both the capacitor lead and the large pads at the bottom of the board while applying solder until they flow together. This will provide power and hold the AC in place.
2. Solder a wire from input iA (the first pad at the top from the back) to the back pad of R50 (1K). This resistor is just inside the shield area in front of where the AC is now installed.
3. Connect the audio out wire to the last pad on the Audio Companion marked out. If you're using a coaxial wire, you can connect ground to the back pad of the capacitor in front of C37 (C51) or any other nearby grounded spot like the exposed shield strip.
Carefully check your work against the pictures before powering the system. Route cables carefully out of the shielding during reassembly.

I stumbled across this video presentation about reverse engineering the MOS 6502, and of course I had to watch it. Quite an interesting watch!
I always wondered about the LAX/SAX instructions, and why there aren't similar illegal opcodes for other register combinations. Turns out that the opcode's lower bits define which register is to be worked with, %00 for Y, %10 for A, and %01 for X. %11 is not intended to be used, but when it is used, it causes both A and X to be affected, explaining why we don't an opcode for, say, LAY.
As stated in the video, visual6502.org has a lot of information about the 6502 line of processors, and many others, as well. The ultra-high-resolution images of the chip are there, and my nerd wants to print them up and frame them on a wall.
I'm not really a hardware guy, more of a software guy, but for some reason I love learning how computers work (or trying to). I guess that's why I prefer the low-level programming languages. Assembly is about as low as you can get without getting into machine code, and it's a lot of fun for something like the Atari 2600. It brings you closer to the machine, and although it doesn't let you see the physical chip layout, it gives you an idea of how it must theoretically work.
I would love to try programming for the other old 6502 systems like the NES after I have a 2600 game or two complete, but anything other than that is better suited to a higher-level language. C++ is my favorite language for programming, although Python is nice for simple tasks that you just want to write quickly without worrying about code efficiency.- Read more...

Christmas with Lord Fortescue!
Going somewhat off piste here, but as it's nearly Christmas, I thought - just this once - I'd post something non-Atari related - Lord Fortescue's Christmas Episode. Bobbety's lost Arabella's present, so he calls on his old chum, Bunty Norris, for help!
I hope you like it. Normal Atari-related service will resume after the twelfth night:-)

MSX Colors - Food Coloring Style
This is the second installment in computer food coloring. This time, it's the MSX palette. It's also used on the ColecoVision, and the TI 99/4A. Therefore, it could be called the TI palette. It consists of 15 colors and a transparent color.
Color 0 is Transparent.
Black: 8 parts Black
Medium Green: 9 parts Green
Light Green: 5 parts Green
Dark Blue: 7 parts Blue, 5 parts Neon Blue, 5 parts Neon Purple
Light Blue: 2 parts Neon Blue, 2 parts Neon Purple
Dark Red: 30 parts Red, 1 part Blue, 1 part Green
Cyan: 3 parts Neon Blue
Medium Red: 13 parts Red
Light Red: 5 parts Red
Dark Yellow: 8 parts Yellow, 3 parts Red, 2 parts Green
Light Yellow: 3 parts Yellow
Dark Green: 24 parts Green, 1 part Blue
Magenta: 7 parts Neon Purple, 2 parts Green
Gray: 2 parts Black
White: None
The transparent color was achieved by using plain water. The medium used was Sargent Art Art-Time white tempera paint, which is opaque.
And here's how it turned out:
That certainly looks cool! It's pretty accurate.- Read more...

Collectionof 72 Atari 2600 Games for Sale
Looking to Sell my collection of Atari 2600 games & boxes. A good mix of standard games with a mix of a few rare & in demand titles. . Wife said time to let them go. I need to determine which boxes have cartridges, believe most if not all are available with the game. If interested I will confirm which cartridges if any are missing from the box once I go through the entire collection and open the boxes.
