fibrewire Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I have an 'extra' Amdek Color-I PM for info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedex Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 easier to find than the amdek are C= monitors (a 1702 is a good basic model, nut more desirable are the 1084-s) I'm currently restoring a C64 that had a bad CIA (A chip that controls joystick ports) chip, and I might try and get a 1702 once I finish restoring it. But I prefer not to have Commodore equipment on Atari, it's just not right. It's like using a Sega Genesis controller on SNES, it's just wrong on so many levels. Even for someone like me who likes both C64 and A800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havok69 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) The only one of those that I am aware of that wont work is Dropzone, it's a 64k game (and optimized for PAL machines, so it plays like crap on NTSC machines) Dropzone plays fine on NTSC machines - I play it on a regular basis on my 1200XL hooked to a 1702 Commodore monitor using s-video. It's one of my favorite games that I've played since it was released... I have an 'extra' Amdek Color-I PM for info Dude - you must have an extra everything by now....

Dropzone works on NTSC no problem, but try playing it on a PAL machine sometime and you will realize how much better the game is that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fibrewire Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I am really happy with dropzone for NTSC. Its a bitch to play with a stick, which is why I recommend the Atari Joypad. Looks identical to a NES controller, and plays awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havok69 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) Dropzone works on NTSC no problem, but try playing it on a PAL machine sometime and you will realize how much better the game is that way Hmmm - it looks pretty darn good already on my 1200XL. I am running the Clearpic "2" mod with s-video, and have my color optimized using a nifty little program someone posted here some time ago, so maybe that explains why it looks pretty good. I'll have to check it out someday if I ever get a PAL system. I did fire it up in Altirra and set it to PAL. The colors were a little better, but still not too terribly better. Does Altirra emulate PAL accurately on a Windows machine? Edited August 31, 2011 by Havok69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
