  1. This Yahtzee is an amusing diversion... A warning to Stella for Windows users: the display's a little off. The image for the die in the upper-right is repeated, so it looks like you have six dice rather than five, with these two having the same value. It wasn't until I tried the game with PCAE that I figured this out. (I also was surprised by the lower-than-expected scores I got for some items because of it!) Also, it took me a little while to figure out the interface. In order to roll the dice, move the joystick up or down until no die or line item is highlighted. I accidentally rerolled all five a number of times doing this. Otherwise, it's very enjoyable. Nice for a quick game break...
  2. My TV is actually a TV/VCR combo, so I definitely don't want to mess with the VCR part of it. Is there any sort of off-the-shelf device that will convert an Atari switch box output to AV? I'm definitely not handy with electronics (I can use them, but that's it), so I'm hesitant to try cobbling anything together. Thanks Eduardo!
  3. I would like to hook up a Playstation (pre-redesign), an Atari 2600, and a DVD player (eventually, I don't own it yet) all to the same TV. The TV does not have an antenna, so there is nowhere to hook the 2600's switch box. My questions are: 1. What do I need to hook a 2600 up to a modern TV that uses audio/video cables rather than an antenna? 2. Is there something that will allow me to switch between the three systems at will? I've seen boxes that will let you switch between four printers. My apologies if the answers are in the 2600 FAQ. I don't have its handy so I can't refer to it right now.
  4. The new site is very, very impressive. Kudos to everyone who put in such hard work and creativity. I would like to see more information on the authors of the games. Perhaps the best way to start out would be to provide links to known author sites. For example: Rob Fulop Warren Robinett Howard Scott Warshaw This could be particularly useful for the authors of modern games for classic systems.
