Gregory DG Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Whew! After over a year of waiting, I finally managed to tape the episode of Three's Company where Jack and Janet are playing football on a 2600! I got some screenshots as well as a 63 second video of it over at TAT. http://www.ataritimes.com/features/fea_atarifilms.html Have fun.

Inky Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 You have probably already seen this: The iTari Check out the carts on the left hand side.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted October 23, 2002 Author Share Posted October 23, 2002 Heh, I just noticed that the 2600 wasn't even plugged in the entire time they were playing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 And those are some SKILLED actors, look how they respond to a game they aren't even playing! I meant, what would it have hurt to at least put a cart in the slot, or even, forbid!, plug the thing in and let them play it! Did the producers think we are that stupid?

Gregory DG Posted October 23, 2002 Author Share Posted October 23, 2002 And those are some SKILLED actors I agree with you there. John Ritter (and Joyce DeWitt) are great. I can't wait for the Three's Company telepic! (It'll be similar to the Gilligan's Island and Brady Bunch TV behind-the-scenes movie.) Three's Company is my favorite sitcom of all-time. As for there not being a game in the 2600... It would probably be DISTRACTING for the actors to have a real game on there. And the timing of the game vs. the reactions would never match. I can understand why they weren't really playing, but WHY there wasn't a cart in the slot is a bit baffling. Maybe someone forgot... Or maybe it blocked the view somehow. Who knows.

D.Yancey Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 How about Jack playing left handed with the joystick? Hard to hit the button that way unless you rewire it and turn it 90 degrees!! I wonder if he thought to do that? Great find, I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I can understand why Jack was playing left-handed -- he was holding the stick upside-down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella'sGhost Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 That show rules! I feel old, I used to watch it when it was NEW. Actually playing an Atari with no cart inserted is more fun than playing an Atari with Pacman inserted. I've noticed whenever I show someone the atari and they either have never played it or haven't seen one in 17 years, they always hold the joysticks wrong!!

Atarian7 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Pac man is a fun game damn it/ And I posted about 3's company many months ago but thanks for the screen shot. GEt ready for the copyright lawsuits to roll in now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
