Krytol Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 OK, here's a little contest just for fun. Here is a (blurry) picture of me playing my Atari 2600: How many unusual/out of place things can you find in this picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMika Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Mega Man II Coleco Cart in system AtariSoft Pac-Man(?) above the Gorf not 2600 compatible. Your taste in lamps? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night Phantom Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 The power switch is in the off position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterb23 Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Does anyone else think that Kaboom! cartridge looks funny? Both of mine have a pink / purple label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krytol Posted August 12, 2002 Author Share Posted August 12, 2002 WOW! You guys got everything: Megaman II on TV Colecovision cart Atarisoft Pac-Man Kaboom! is green instead of pink/purple Power switch is OFF and Taste in lamps (!) Two "bonus" things are: The TV is on ch.4 instead of 2 or 3 (but could be possible if played through VCR) There are 3 Pac-Man carts stacked on top of each other - I probably wouldn't bring all 3 out to play.. but you never know. Good job. I'll make the next one tougher. And maybe with a prize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeV0 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 And the Astroblast cart looks like an intellivision cart,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the 5th ghost Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Hi, The only other thing I see that wasn't mentioned is the color/black&white swith is in the b/w position. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night Phantom Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Hi, The only other thing I see that wasn't mentioned is the color/black&white swith is in the b/w position. Doug Welcome, 5th Ghost! Are we relatives? I noticed that switch’s position also, but for some games it doesn’t affect color. Still, it’s more relevant than that hideous lamp-thing; so, maybe it’s better that you pointed it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyImpmon Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 I was late in this one but I can tell it's Megaman in FLashman stage on TV. Also that Atarisoft cart, I think it's for Intellivision. (unless Atarisoft did C64, then it'd be impossible to tell apart) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBOTRON2084 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Oh look! A kool-aid stain on your Atari! Did anybody get that??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyImpmon Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Hmmm... On top of the stack with the 3 Pac Mans, there appears to be a Parker Bros cart with no end label. A sensible collector wouldn't be caught dead with a badly ripped or missing end label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 I am not sure if someone pointed this out but the picture looks like it is in color and I think the 2600 is set to Black and White. Am I correct in this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Cool idea for a contest. I started looking at the picture noticing the various things that were awry, but of course I was much too late to contribute anything new. Guess I'll just have to wait for the next one! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
