Leisure Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I used a modded 2600 and an LCD projector to play games on the side of my house! I'd love to say that I was controlling my Dodge Em car with my real steering wheel and gas pedal, but no, it just looks that way. Maybe some day! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arcade_lights Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Besides playing games, which is nothing unusual, I also wrote a song to honor Atari's 40th birthday. Here it goes: ATARI OUTLAW I'm a blaster Solaris, a distant star Space master Revenge seeking Yar Invaders strike I shall not recoil Missile command Protect the city soil Defender, whizz through the Stargate Save the astronauts from ghastly fate Landers descend, helpless humans scream Fearless pilot, ignite your laser beam Intruder alert I guess I better run Evil Otto's smile Hurry up or you die Avoid the hungry shark Ride the Cosmic ark Kaboom, Frogs and flies Demons invade the skies Epileptic colors blaze Explosions blow me away Ear-raping blasting sound The whole room's spinning around I don't want Sega, I don't want NES What I want you can guess 2600 is my game All the others are just lame Edited September 15, 2017 by arcade_lights 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamrodHare Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I swapped the old red LED in my 7800 to a nice new RGB (color changing) LED. I organized all my 2600 carts and put them on my display shelf in the living room, so everyone can see them! Last, but not least, I painted the ugly red and yellow buttons on my Flashback 3. Now they are gloss black and it looks SOOOO much better. It looks so good I'm thinking about doing it to my Flashback 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerpoco Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I was, uhh, "Gearing Up" for the 5.61 I was about to put on Dragster. Didn't realize it was 40th B-day(or close). Very Cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
