[Atari ST games for my show]

Hi Dave,

 

for the ST how about Starball? The best PD game for the ST ever IMHO. I've also been playing a good bit of Super space Invaders on ST. Pang is also cool and a more untalked about title.

 

Anyhow welcome to the forum!

 

All the best,

Chris

[2600 vs 7800 picture quality]

The rf output on my pal 7800 is dreadful. 2600 looks better than 7800 games, this is apparently to do with interference from Maria chip. Well know picture is rubbish on most uk model 7800's, I have owned 3 and they have all been bad.

[What TV channel(s) do PAL consoles output on?]

What you have is probably PAL-I standard, so normal would be channel 36 UHF (NOT VHF).

[Quick look at 1983 Video Game vendor ads]

You're right, so the poster must have gotten the years confused on that ad.

Sorry folks it was late. Top page is 1980, next 3 pages are 1984.

Atari stuff circa 1984.

[Commodore Amiga Keyboard Membranes]

Well in the A 500 side I would take 2. Both mine have faulty keys, and eBay just supplied another dead board. 500 & 500+ keyboards are compatible btw.

[ebay and smoking]

All this stuff is from 70's or 80's. The chance of it being smoke free are pretty tiny.

[how to quiet down an Xbox Crystal]

Thanks guys. It has quietened down somewhat with some use. I think it had been sat unused for a long time. I need to buy the correct TORX tools before looking any further.

[Attack of the clones!]

I love that Russian Megadrive clone. I wonder if it's even entirely a clone? It may be using actual tooling from the Genesis 3. May I ask where you got it?

No problems, it came from eBay UK, the seller has a bunch of them. Highly recommended for the price.

The PSU He supplies is an original Atari Jaguar PSU, kinda neat too.

[WTB TOS 1.0 Atari 520 STFM]

Hi All,

 

I would like to buy or trade for a Atari 520 STFM with TOS version 1.0. Not too worried if single or double sided drive, but must be version 1.0 ROM. It's gonna have to be UK for the shipping etc, bare computer, no cables etc is fine but must be fully working.

Thanks!

Forgot burgertime in bedrock, it's a little slow and you'd be better od with the old Gameboy Bergertime Deluxe, but it's still fun.

Is Chitaiku the same as Super Cobra, sure looks like it in the above link!

 

Thanks for sharing!

[Arcade Action II Console?]

I have one, it's a Famiclone & it's PAL.

[Any games worth downloading for Android?]

Plants Vs Zombies.

Need for Speed Most wanted.

Real Racing 3.

Hungry Shark Evolution.

 

All run flawlessly on Kindle Fire Ver2 so your Galaxy should be more than fine!

[7800 Serial Number List]

Mistake in the first post list buddy, you have my console listed as owned by dustygraves, serial is X938381666. It's definitely mine and has been for a while!

[Attack of the clones!]

Just though I'd share these two recent pick-ups with you fine folks.

 

 

This is a Russian Sega Megadrive/Genesis clone, check out the Pokemon on back of box! What's with that? Anyhow this is a really neat console. Uses a GOAC SM 801A, the sound is fine, and it has an overclock switch along with PAL/NTSC, 50/60 Hz & language switches on the bottom. The 2 included 6 button pads are really OK, not the usual shite. I have tried this out with Japanese, USA and UK games and it runs them all flawlessly, the overclock really helps F22 & LHX in the frame rate stakes.

 

 

This Famicom clone I bought at a local carboot sale for £1, gotta love the N64 syle case it comes packed in. Anyhow this is also kinda cool, it's cart compatible with the famicom and comes with a 101-1 cart. Many of these games are copyrighted 2001/2002, however loads of classics on here.

 

Anyhow, just thought I'd share some less often seen consoles.

[how to quiet down an Xbox Crystal]

Hi folks,

 

I recently bought a Xbox Crystal console from a car boot sale in box with a extra crystal pad, DVD remote and couple of games very cheap(£5). It works fine and is in fantastic cosmetic condition.

However it is really loud, I mean jet plane loud, a constant loud humming from the thing regardless of what it is doing. I want to use the system for both a few games and as DVD player(my old PS2 is having trouble reading DVD movies now, although still plays all games fine), but the noise is drowning out the audio form movies etc.

Is there any easy way to shut the old beast up? I can't even figure out how to open it up???

This reminds me of my old 360 consoles, howling piles of s@@t. Thankfully I don't have those anymore.

Anyhow any advice on quieting it down much appreciated or even how to open it up!

 

Cheers!

[The NEW High Score Club S2 ~ Week 3 ~ Space Invaders (Game 6 B/B)]

no really worth bothering with pic! I need to practice, a LOT.

[Someone convince me that the PS1 is worthwhile]

I'll add a vote for Parasite Eve, it is NTSC only tho, but you can always chip your PS.

 

Ridge Racer Type 4, is awesome, still one of my favourite racers along with Rage Racer.

 

X-COM Enemy Unknown & X-COM Terror from the Deep try and find yourself a PS1 mouse for these brilliant strategy games.

 

Puchi Carat., a Arkanoid inspired puzzle game by Taito.

 

Starwinder. Hilarious space racer with the best cut scenes ever.

 

Sorceror's Maze, another Arkanoid clone, this one is practically free on ebay.

 

Area 51 & Crypt Killer. 2 fun quirky light gun games, you will need a Konami or Predator 2 light gun, not the Namco G-con for these.

 

Muppet Monster Adventure. a really fun 3D platformer.

[Genesis Shmups]

Few of my favourites are:

 

Bio Hazzard Battle.

 

Arrow Flash.

 

Insector X.

 

All are cheap enough and fun games.
