You just have to find them, usually on ebay. Have you tried it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a new recording setup that I can only hook one system at a time to. Right now the Odyssey 2 is hooked up I'll try to remember to let you know when I do try.

And... how do you prefer to hook up game-recording-systems...? (I’ve tried Iphone or Ipad recordings so far. Need to learn to use it properly for either 50fps or 60fps).

(I’ve tried Iphone or Ipad recordings so far. Need to learn to use it properly for either 50fps or 60fps). I used to record to a recordable DVD player. The main downside is games with flicker sometimes had to be adjusted, as sprite would flat out disappear. Recently I switched to the Elgato HD, using a DVD/VCR combo as a pass through for the RF based systems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giles N Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 @nosweargamer Idea for your show: How to beat/how to be good at/how to master —> 7800 games, 2600 games, SMS games etc. — I have benefitted very much from both your 7800 game-reviews and longplays. Kinda used them as ‘buying guide’-info. Love that you describe in your reviews how the playabililty-set-up of the games works. But would like comments on ‘how to be good at/how to beat a game’ (without cheats). Just an idea. Anyway; cool stuff you provide. And... do more SMS reviews when opportunity allows! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually thinking of making a how to beat Ghostbusters video. I haven't done many, but I did make walkthrough videos for Pitfall 2600 & Midnight Mutants 7800.

What 02 games have sharks in them? I really enjoyed giving the 02 a month of focus and look forward to returning to it in the future.

There's a homebrew game (Sea Rescue) and an unreleased/prototype game (Shark Hunter). The former apparently received a massive upgrade when it was re-released as a combo cart, High Water Patrol/Sea Rescue Voice Edition; the latter had to be fixed to run properly on NTSC systems and is found on several multicarts. When you come back to the Odyssey², I hope you're able to tackle the board games at some point. I know your focus is on the 1-player experience, but there's so little coverage out there, and they're fascinatingly strange efforts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was this close to reviewing Quest for the Rings, but ran out of time when I got sick. I definitely what to cover it and maybe another board game when I get back to the 02.
