Then I would love it, so I struggle a bit with the controls until I warm up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ordered ten myself…shame there’s no Star Raiders pack-in sized one 😂 https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1412783321/atari-2600-7800-plastic-pet-game-box I got these earlier in the week. Pretty good though my Reactor box required a little finesse as it’s like a mm wider than standard. The Robot Tank box was smaller than a standard Atari box, which was surprising. Sega boxes are taller, which is a problem, however the box protectors that came with a couple of my Imagic games were taller than standard Atari so just had to do a swap (Imagic game boxes, like Parker Bros also required a bit of finesse). I used bubble wrap inside the crushed boxes which helps a bit with presentation, but given the PET plastic flexes you can’t really shove a lot in there and not have the box bulge out anyway. Now all my game boxes are in shiny plastic aside from Star Raiders. I feel like I’m collecting comics again 🤪 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll do for now. I have actual dust covers for all of my consoles, with the lone exception being the 2600+. This could be an opportunity for an actual Atari branded dust cover (like the old school canvas ones) or an Atari branded cartridge port dust cover. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Intellivision Master Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 The 2 homebrews I recently got are Amoeba Jump & Robot City. I like them both. They work fine on the 2600+ with the default firmware. It seems like any 2600 homebrew that has a cart size of 4K works on the 2600+. Because I have 3 homebrews now with that file size and there are no issues. Amoeba Jump is a fun little platformer. It's addicting to jump on the platforms and trying to get a high score. Robot City is a good maze shooter. I know that JetmanUK & Dr Karnov will like that game. I got pretty far in it. I made it to level 19. Not sure how many levels there are. I think it goes on forever until you run out of lives. There are 5 game modes. I played on game mode 1. Overall these 2 homebrews are great additions to the collection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Birds on the left and Sky Alien on the right😉 Even the originals are the same game with different sprites. I got Scorpion long time ago and today Space Raider arrived, which might be the same game as "Invasion der Ufos" but I like my label more🤗 And they play well🕹 Well, for these two games I love to have an Up button🕹 You fire up with... up🙄 and left/right with fire and... left/right🤔 Basically I can play it with the buttons of my stick only🤙 I like the sprites of Space Raiders more😊 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KainXavier Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) Al sent me another present (that I ordered for myself back in December). This time it was a copy of Dungeon II along with a Mega 7800 adapter. I'm super stoked to be able use a Genesis controller to play my Atari games again. It works like a charm on the 2600+ with my 3 button controller. Dungeon II also works great! Sadly, this will probably be the last 2600 / 7800 purchase I make for a while. Real life is getting in the way again. Edited February 17 by KainXavier 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.E.R.O , Pitfall etc. Really bland. Activision carts mainly. When you look at carts like these, It really makes you want to play the game. I think Activision released some classic Atari 2600 games thou cut cost on artwork and box. I much prefer the Atari original colour/picture carts and other companies like Imagic, Sega , Zellers... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love these hacked versions. I have the regular Lock N' Chase. It's a fun game. I like the regular, though prefer the Intellivision to 2600.

+Intellivision Master Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) I was looking for the Atari Age store on eBay. It's there but nothing is in stock. https://www.ebay.com/str/atariage That's a shame. I was going to get some games on there for the free shipping. Hopefully they sell games on there again. I do use the Atari Age store on here but you have to pay shipping. Anyway, I had mentioned in another post on this thread about their eBay store for those who wanted to check it out. Here is my original post from January 27th: Some of you might already know this. But for those who don't. Atari Age has an eBay store. I might try getting some homebrews from there. Because their eBay store has free shipping for the US. If only the AA store had free shipping as well.

A great purchase, you'll enjoy that and at a good price too. Let me know how it loads, mine and I believe @Dr Karnovs is a little flaky. Mine came with the manual, but I have never actually opened it. I keep all my manuals together, I should take a look really as some of them are really nice.

Glad it's working for you. I noticed the Taito license on it but I have never seen an arcade version, off to YouTube I go... It actually looks quite primitive, I prefer the Atari version! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
