I think we will both have a nice day today my friend, my first Atari Age order is due to arrive today too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetmanUK Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 It's here! Well, most of it, the Atari Vox+ is to follow, that's fine, I have games to try out. 🤟🏻😊 What do we have here? Some stickers and a nice catalogue, will it turn up on eBay in forty years? 🤔😋 How many work on the 2600 Plus? I'll let you know later. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Fiorillo Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Mail call! The third shipment of controllers I ordered arrived today. I didn't order any of the new carts because I have the entire Atari Corp run of games for the 7800. Here is all three shipments combined: 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow nice haul 👍I’m so tempted to order some games from Atariage but the shipping to UK is pretty high,I guess if you buy a few the shipping isn’t so bad? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Intellivision Master Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Here's what I got from Atari. This is my first original 7800 CIB game. I like the game and have played it digitally. It's nice to have a physical copy. As for the controller and paddles, I never had them before. I look forward to trying out both. Especially the paddles. That'll be a new experience for me. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah exactly that. I wouldn't order just one or two carts, but spread across a few the postage doesn't hurt as much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Intellivision Master Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 My updated controller list: CX-78+ Paddles Custom NES gamepad Hyperkin trooper joystick Archer joystick Twin stick SG-6 fight stick Also, my game collection so far is at 50 carts. Food Fight was the 50th. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Intellivision Master Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I tried out the new CX-78+ and the paddles. I played Food Fight with the new controller and it works great. I like the thumbstick. The buttons are responsive. Food Fight is a fun simple game and has a lot of replay value in my opinion. The paddles are interesting. It was really different for me as I've never used with them until now. It felt weird at first but I quickly got the hang of it. The movement is very smooth. There's little to no resistance. I tested them on 2 games. One was the Avalanche homebrew. The other was Astroblast. I'll need more practice with the paddles. But overall it was a neat experience playing with those compared to a gamepad/joystick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Intellivision Master Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 The controller grip arrived today. It fits well and makes the controller look larger. Having the grip will make using the controller more comfortable. I got the controller last year. Now I have this nice accessory to go with it.

DEANJIMMY Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Bought an NTSC version of Pitfall2 from German Ebay 🤗 For some games I do not care if the PAL cart runs slower but for the two Pitfall games it is nice that Harry runs faster. Especially in Pitfall2, if you die and need to repeat your last steps the additional speed is very nice and the colors look better!🤙 For Pitfall1 I actually like the PAL colors but play the NTSC cart for more running speed😊 If you look at the label, the NTSC version has got an additional Audiovision line. And if it is a cart from DEANJIMMY or @JetmanUK on the back side you'll find a sticker😉 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last chance order last year took very long but by that time he got many orders and AA moved to Atari, etc. This order took 6 weeks to Germany which is pretty good🤙 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Intellivision Master Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Here's the controller with the grip attached. Retro Game Boyz said there would be imperfections because it's 3D printed. I noticed the cosmetic flaws. But it doesn't effect anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
