Just so you all know, I picked up a bit of an accent from watching those boys. 🙃

 

Also, I've been calling my cat Emmers. She's fat and doesn't wear a shirt. RIP Leaky Lahey

I'm really impressed with all of you for ignoring this thread almost a whole month. It got half way down page 2.

Nice, George Burns in 'Oh O-D!'.

 

I'd love to see Rock 'n Roll High School. Nothing better than playing my Atari... while listening to... the Ramones. Wait, ok, watching my Atari play the Ramones while I draw Asteroids or something. The whole idea of watching movies on the Atari is blowing my mind.

Hi I am looking for somebody that can fix and mod my Ataris and maybe Commodores in my area. I have a couple of heavy sixers that could use being redone. I hope somebody responds! I'll pay in cash or crabs.

Woah killer, slow down! You're not north of Fayette are you? Cause cash and crabs go very well together there. Like Chocolate and Peanut Butter. I need to get back to Crabby Dick's; it's been way too long. I miss Charm City. I'm so proud of our O's.

 

Sorry back to your regularly scheduled search for tech help.

[What type of controller do you most use for joystick games when you play on the VCS/2600?]

I got the 7800 ProSystem joystick back in 2016 and I still use it today for 2600 games. I also have an Edladdin twin stick controller, but I generally only use it for 7800 Robotron and a few other games that use two controllers.

 

 

I use a custom built controller and it looks a lot like this.

2600 Pac-man is kind of divisive.   Those who never played the arcade game or maybe not much of it, think the game is fine.   Those who were enamored with the arcade game think the 2600 port is an abomination.

 

And that is it right there.

Man this is messed up. I was doing a great job ignoring this thread until now. And then you bastards had to bring kittens into it. For shame! A pox on you all!

Screw this! I've been doing my best to ignore this thread. Wait what thread am I in?

Barnstormer bouncing off the barn. Eventually earned the patch legit, but yeah, Barn bouncing in Barnstormer.

I'm interested as well.

I just want to know if this incredible game will be achievable without an extra chip in the cartridge, because I'd like to know if it will be playable on the Atari 2600+.

You know years ago I would have taken the bet that this game would have come out before the new VCS. And look now, here comes the 2600+. I heard a rumor that if it sells well, they will come out with a slick black that has a red light that flashes back and forth. This will be the pack-in game. Never any love for the Vader lovers.

[What late bloomer Atari 2600 game made you go wow?]

Solaris. Hands down showed me what the 2600 was capable of. Unfortunately, Zelda and Final Fantasy showed me what the NES was capable of. But Solaris will always be one of my favorites. So many hours flying that ship around trying to map the sectors. It was the wormholes that screwed me all up. One day I will beat that game! Right after I beat Yars' Revenge. Love that game too.

Then why are we interrupting all the Hard Work going on with these shenanigans? Every email alert stops all the Hard Work. At this rate we'll never see this fcukign game.

Is programming hard?

 

Programming is Hard Work! or is it Hard Work is Programming? Nope, I suspect the first one.

[Ignore this thread.]

Except this is what I feel like Hacking or Programming for the 2600.

Would be cool if there was an app to enter all the games you have and pick one for you at random. I'm sure there probably is something like that.

😱 OMG!

What did I do? I cracked hundreds of them to put in PlusCarts and sell them at half that price.

All that work was in vain!

And I was literally coming in to make pretty much this comment. How many of the homebrews have we bought are housed in Combat carts.

The 2600 is ugly.

So is necromancy. Even if the chick was hot before she went into the ground, after a year of dirt napping, she ain't gonna look as hot as my mom taking me to prom.

 

My mom being hot was a popular opinion by the way. Spent the entire night dancing with all my friends at prom. I left early so Dad and I played Pac-man and Missile Command through the wee hours of the morning. We both knew neither of us was getting any that night.
