I haven't bothered to look under the bed in the game room in at least a decade. 🤬 I'd maticulously sort these into a checklist personally . . .

Luckily I purchased most of them many many years ago when no one was interested in old Atari games 😉 Wooo! Ikari! Never fails to excite me when i see a copy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the design, looks like a prop from the original Star Trek series. 'Beam me up Scotty!'😂 Tested it out on Commando and Ikari 7800 just to see how it performed and if it actually worked, both buttons. I actually found Commando and Ikari easier to play with this compared to the CX78. Does it cramp your hands? Yes after a while. No more so than the CX40 digging into your palm thou. Children would find it difficult to use. More of an adult joystick. I found if you squeeze the bottom of the joystick with both your palms while playing, it isn't so uncomfortable. I honestly don't understand all the bad rap for this Joystick. I personally love it! 1000's would probably disagree thou...😂 I still need to find one, but i feel like not wanting to risk my money... I do also wanna eventually get a few of the games i would wanna try it with, sim flighters, the shooters... but just because i want them period. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to own the carts though. As for homebrews, at least the ones I own, I had not played until getting the carts. Whereas other homebrews I just played the ROM. Anyway, Sea Quest is a good shooter. It's a fun game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely not the only one 😃 I have to catalog my collection, because when I did not I bought too many duplicates 🤣 Normally I post my new items on Facebook and my website only, but these are my latest finds 😃 The box of the Atari Programmer Pack (luckily I already have the contents of the box, so the pack is complete). A game of Concentration (NTSC), Gorf (SECAM), Decathlon (SECAM), Venture (Label variant – PAL), Skeet Shoot (PAL) and Skindiver (PAL) for the 2600. And a joystick extension cable in original Atari Benelux packaging. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maztr_0n Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Btw time pilot is obviously a repro, i kinda would kill to eventually be able to get an actually acurate red label template as i feel like Coleco games on 2600 carts just look natural with a red label cc 1988... but ya know... i have my little hybrid label thing that i might make more labels for... maybe even for a few homebrew?

Am I missing a manual I'd like? Do I have an NTSC copy of this one? Oh I already have seven copies of Combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
