I've been collecting for 4 years now and have only seen it once. I'd definitely consider it a 7. Yellowdragon

Anyone Help Me Get Remote Sticks Functional?
yellowdragon replied to AtariKari's topic in Atari 2600
You don't happen to have any other wireless devices near it, do you? Cordless phones, cellphones, pagers, etc... That would be the first thing I'd look for. Yellowdragon -
Starpath Supercharger for trade
yellowdragon replied to yellowdragon's topic in Buy, Sell, and Trade
Wow, guess no one here wants this... oh well, guess after I move I'll just put it on Epay... Yellowdragon -
Of course it ends... when you lose all of your ships! Yellowdragon

Sounds like a nice batch of stuff you got. The O2 reminds me of way back when, a friend of mine had one and had the delusional belief that it was a better system than the Atari! As far as collecting goes, I'd rather for someone to start collecting rather than to clean out the town to sell the stuff on Ebay... Yellowdragon

That's certainly a good way of looking at it... I don't have deep pockets so I really shop around a lot before I purchase anything. Naturally I just keep hoping I get lucky as I cruise the thrifts and swap meets and occasionally I do. Crazy Climber for $2 not too long ago. Someone wrote a date on one side in paint marker but I really can't complain given the price! Yellowdragon

Their prices are pretty high for everything but the most common games. Yellowdragon

Man this game is hard, I got a whopping 575 points before I got killed, they run across you like 3 times before you can kill 'em! Yellowdragon

Well, I've been playing some Atari games on the Dreamcast and the colors and screen size are perfect. There's no sound on it though. The games play at pretty good speed though some of them slow down from time to time. Otherwise, it's great to be able to play them on another console, just have to get used to the Dreamcast controller. Had to use Windows to burn the CD but it's worth it! Yellowdragon

The only bug in Warlords I've ever noticed is that the ball will suddenly appear inside a castle and destroy it from the inside out, or simply remove a brick or two from the center of the wall. If I remember right, to do this, simply hold the ball on your shield and flick the paddle back and forth really fast. Yellowdragon

I have a Starpath Supercharger I'd like to trade. It's in good condition and unmodified other than for additional audio cable added. You can view my Atari collection at http://members.tripod.com/~mjman/atari.html Looking to trade for some games that I don't have. Yellowdragon

I tried doing this once on a 4 switch Atari and while everything seemed to work ok, some games like Super Breakout had invisible side barriers. All I could see was the wall and the paddle and the ball. Of course all I did was route the wires from the proper spots so maybe the other methods work better. Will have to try this again.

Got my collection page online...Finally!
yellowdragon replied to Cassidy Nolen's topic in Atari 2600
I'm glad I moved from Geocities long ago, they must now have some kind of bandwidth restriction. Couldn't view the site. Yellowdragon -
Your comic was very funny, I almost fell out of the chair! Keep up the good work! Yellowdragon

Combat of course, Outlaw, Space Invaders, Casino, Blackjack, Home Run, Slot Machine. Yellowdragon

I restore vacuum tube equipment. For cleaning contacts I use "Pro Gold G5." Besides cleaning 40 year old sockets, switches and potentiometers it also works great on atari carts. It's a bit expensive at $15 a can but so far it's been well worth its price. Yellowdragon

Right now I don't have a trade bin. I've thought about buying whatever cartridges I could get whether I have them or not (for this purpose) but given that the majority of what I usually find is common games, and what I need are the rarities of 4 and up, chances are I'd never be able to trade them away for anything. At one place they had 5 each of Pac Man, Space Invaders and Missile Command. Yellowdragon

Looks like the auction you guys mentioned a bit ago ended at $20.50. Now if the stuff works, then it was a good deal for somebody. After all, it was sold as-is, so god knows what shape it's really in... BTW found a 4 switch unit for $14.99 so now I can play all of my games again! Yellowdragon
-
I only collect unique games also. I don't care so much about the label variations, etc. I'd just rather increase the number of different games I have. Right now I have just a bit under 200. Seriously though, I don't think I'll ever get them all as I don't search huge areas for games and I try to spend as little as possible to get them. I occasionally get lucky though. Yellowdragon
-
Years ago I rolled the score on... Pac Man! Figured out some pattern that let me clear board after board without losing a life. Don't remember it anymore and not sure I want to try that again, took a good bit of time! Yellowdragon

Worst 2600 game I have and what is the worst ever?
yellowdragon replied to bergbros's topic in Atari 2600
Too many to pick from for "worst game." I guess to narrow it down to 4 in my collection, ET, Pac Man, Warplock, and Shark Attack. Yellowdragon -
I always liked that you could stand on the other cowboy and hammer the fire button and kill your opponent repeatedly, and win quickly. Seems when playing my brother one of us always won this way. Yellowdragon

Haven't had any bad deals yet. Best so far was a couple of weeks ago at the local swap meet. Got Crazy Climber, and 10 other games of rarity 4-6 for a total of $20.00! Yellowdragon

I'm looking for just an Atari 2600 console. I've already got games and other items necessary, just need to replace a dead 4 switcher. I'd prefer 6 switch (hate those tiny little difficulty switches) but will accept 4 switch. Thanks, Yellowdragon
