Good Grief..

what's the shipping to eastern US typically run, if you happen to know offhand? I know I was able to mail some stuff to a brazilian friend for not too much a few years back but he hasn't ever mailed me.

Oi. Wow, just one. but what a one.. Graduate E.T. is teaching me something in Portugese! I understand since the SMS was/is a big market in Brazil there are a few original SMS games down there as well?

cool, thanks for the information. The only conflict this creates is zookeeper/holey moley sharing a CX#. Could they be the same game? I mean, if you are supposed to be whacking more than moles in later levels perhaps? although that's hardly a zookeeper's job description. :-p Also, then, what's honker bonker about? I wonder if polo and wizard ever had CX numbers and belong to one of the unknowns or if they weren't assigned any for some reason. also, donald duck's speedboat looks like it would have been pretty fun to me. not much is missing from it.

I don't know much about the brazilian market. Is the garbled english on some games just a matter of mistranslation or is it some kind of scheme to avoid the notice of the original manufacturers? It can be quite funny. I'd love to find some of these games for a good price some day. Is there a region in the us or in another country (aside from brazil, obviously) where they tend to show up more often? Also, how many original brazilian 2600 games (not pirates of US companies games) are there?

I imagine for making homebrews, socketed carts and various other projects.. but also to get the ROM chips out of the cartridge so they can be desoldered or removed and then dumped (made into binary form to be used with an emulator or so you can look at the code). Why that many exactly i'm actually kinda curious myself. Me, I've never done it. I always just kept the label on and went through the screw hole. alas, poor bank heist, now you have a bullet hole... i guess from the cop cars

Be nice. If it wasn't for these fine folks, i'd have no idea the brazilian 2600 market was so diverse and interesting, even though much of it's pirated software, the variety of companies and labels are interesting. I sure can't get any of it though, so I may as well not try. hehe.

oops and 1. Go fish! 2. Crazy Balloon 3. Oystron 4. Seawolf 5. Climber Five I know thrust is excellent but I personally loathe gravitar, subterranea (genesis), solar Jetman (NES) and other such games so I can't get into thrust myself.

1. Montezuma's Revenge 2. Pitfall 2. 3. H.E.R.O. 4. California Games 5. River Raid 6. Megamania 7. Pitfall 8. dark cavern 9. frankenstein's monster 10. star wars DSB

an elf with a magic wand KILLING HIS POLYMORPHED FORMER BEST FRIENDS i can't play this game anymore after i learned those bugs were actually my bosom buddies and here I am mushrooming them (apparently irreversibly)

whoo he's excited hose 'im down

This is from my personal files which i've collected from various old lists I found on the internet.. so they could easily be wrong or not updated for a while, but have a look. Starting with the first proto. Specifically, a few that I marked as non existing in any form have been found since or I marked them erroneously. i think i caught most of them. 65 Frog Pond (proto) 66 realsports volleyball 67 realsports soccer 68 realsports football 69 Vanguard 70 atari video cube 71 swordquest waterworld 72 Swordquest Airworld (proto) 73 Phoenix 74 E.T. 75 Ms. Pac man 76 Centipede 77 Dig Dug 78 Dukes of Hazzard (proto) 79 Realsports Baseball (proto) 80 realsports tennis 81 Battlezone 82 Krull 83 Crazy Climber 84 Galaxian 85 Gravitar 86 Quadrun 87 Tempest 88 Jungle Hunt 89 Kangaroo 90 Pengo 91 Joust 92 Moon Patrol 93 Food Fight (non-extant) 94 Pole Position 95 Xevious (proto) 96 Asterix 97 Mario Bros. 98 Rubik's cube 99 Taz 100 Unknown 101 Oscar's trash race 102 Cookie Monster Crunch 103 Alpha Beam with Ernie 104 Big bird egg catch 105 Asteroids 3-d (non-extant) 106 Grover's Music Maker (proto) 107 Snow White (non-extant) 108 Donal Duck's Speedboat (proto) 109 Sorcerer's Apprentice 110 Crystal castles 111 Snoopy 112 Good Luck, Charlie Brown (proto) 113 Miss Piggy's Wedding (proto) 114 Pigs in Space 115 Dumbo's Circus 116 Galaga (non-extant) 117 Obelix 118 Millipede 119 Saboteur (proto) = A-team 120 Stargate 121 Zookeeper (non-extant) 122 Sinistar (proto) 123 Jr. Pac-Man 124 Choplifter (non-extant) 125 Track N Field 126 Elevator Action (proto) 127 Gremlins 128 Boing (non-extant) 129 Midnight Magic 130 Honker Bonker (holey moley?) 131 Monstercise (proto) 132 Garfield(non-extant) 133 A-team (proto) = Saboteur 134 Last Starfighter (non-extant) 135 Realsports Boxing 136 Solaris 137 Peek-A-Boo (proto) 138 Super Soccer (non-extant) 139 Crossbow 140 Desert falcon 141 Motor Psycho (non-extant) 142 Crack'ed (proto?

There have been some alternate names. I'm not absolutely sure if any different games have shared a CX number at any time. have you observed this happening? holey moley looks pretty fun to me. does it actually work IE i've never bothered to put it on a cart to test on my atari with a real kc

These are the CX numbers I've never seen associated with a title so far 160, 161, 164, 166, 173-175, 179-182, 187-189, etc

according to various internet sources, 105 - asteroids 3-d (no proto?) 130 - honker bonker (no proto?) 138 - super soccer (no proto?) 139 - crossbow (released) 140 - desert falcon (released) 132 Garfield(proto, pretty fun) 133 A-team (proto) = Saboteur 134 Last Starfighter (non-extant) 135 Realsports Boxing 136 Solaris Several of these are regular released games.. others were probably never made at all, who knows if proto's exist? I mean, aside from tempest.

Did ya get one yet? what'll you trade me for one? It's a great game overall, but.. as my friend noted, the coins are square. and four colors. It's weird. He thought his game was glitching. Kinda reminds me of that dream I had where I was a prep cook chef being chased by a flashing square, a wiggly line, and a non-flashing square.

what kind of controllers are on the junior, regular 2600 cx-40's?

There are two ways to get what you want: a. kidnap and imprison programmers, forcing them to rewrite the classics, ala steven king's Misery b. buy homebrews so they're encouraged to work on more cool stuff.

wellll. I can't help you, but these folks are surely being pretty helpful. Don't expwect miwacles! Anyway, I saw the title of this post and clicked because I assumed somebody had some photos of lab loaner carts and wanted to know how many K they were worth

I'm sure you could find some folks to run the manual over for grammar corrections if you'd like. I wouldn't mind doing it, and then maybe someone else for a final check?

if we're just talking static, then even my beloved 500XJ makes a few static lines on 2600 games with a dark background when I move.. I assume it's just dirty or improperly shielded or something? that doesnt' sound like what he has. what he has sounds like it's the cart or deck, to me.

never coming back to new england, probably?

oh, cool. thanks. I'm going to try two regular controllers and press the 2nd pad's buttons as well as pulling the lightgun trigger to figure that all out. I didn't know it had it's own controller, shit, it needs it.. playing breakout with a d-pad is murder. My murder of the game designers. So that's a game-specific situation, then, not an indication that NES games in general care much about what's plugged into the NES, no use for this donkey kong thing.

So just to verify, you have tested donkey kong with joysticks and it's not just a dirty cart or something but specifically the Gen pads that are doing this? Also, i wouldn't have brought that pad back for just two bucks. heh. You should find and try a master system pad on this. They're nice, but the diagonals are too strong (very good on CV or even 2600 venture, you just need to plug in a real controller first to start the game, then switch) On the NES, I've noticed that if you play arkanoid with a light gun plugged into the second slot, you lose the A button on the first controller (ball won't launch right, 'gun' powerup can't be shot). I cleaned my cart like mad until I realized the only difference between how it was then and how it was when it worked fine was that I'd played a lightgun game since my last game of arkanoid. Unplugging the light gun did it. Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the NES actually a 9 pin system like any sensible controller (master system, gen, atari), just with a different/incompatible plug? So I'm not surprised that some kind of weird reaction is possible, but it's new to me. I always assumed what was plugged into the controller ports were basically inert switches saying "ok, on, off, on on on OFF OFF" as you played.

has anybody ever tried the special controllers that come with the milton bradley games? of course you don't actually Need those, but i'm kinda curious if they're any fun. I like both of those games anyway.
