"Bomb Jake"

Yay! Got my copy a few days ago, fantastic game and packaging from GR8 software, well done to all concerned!

Man, seeing those nice GR8 packages makes me wish there were an NTSC version.

Consider if Bomb Jake isn't worth buying a PAL Atari? I think it is

And a PAL TV?

And a PAL TV?

 

I have just bought a MEOS DVDM133B 13" TV/DVD/PVR combo to use at future Atari meetings. These are available across Europe and come with both a UK (BS 546) and continental Europe grounded plug (the CEE 7/7 one that fits into both German and French standard wall sockets) through an external PSU (they need 12V DC, 5A) and with a car adaptor. Having a native resolution of 1280x800, this small TV displays my Atari ST's high resolution (via VGA input) much better than my previous LCD TV, plus it comes with SCART, S-Video, Composite, HMDI, etc. and even with an SD/MMC and USB connector. It also accepts NTSC S-Video and Composite, but I was unable to get any sound when connecting an NTSC 2600 to the RF input (it had no problems displaying the picture in colour, though, so I suspect it to be a firmware problem, as the info button shows me it detects NTSC correctly, but according to the letters it cycles though expects the sound at frequency offsets typical for PAL B/G, DK or I - and of course fails miserably).
