Yes, for certain. But I wouldnt hold your breath for those two!

I like to see enhanced 7800 ports of Yoomp!, Blue Max (from the 5200 version), Midnight Mutants, and Dark Chambers from ATARI/Plaion for the 2600+.

With Pokey audio, naturally.

The extension cable has started to die on me. The cable is thin and doesn't grip the joystick cable well. I'm having to wiggle the extension cable to get it to work. I hope the cables for the joysticks and the joy pad fare better. YMMV. I think other third party options are a better value. You can get two cables for the price of one Atari cable. I'm also going to check Best Electronics.


I’ve been using the extensions for about 2 weeks on and off. Not had an issue yet. I do just keep the joysticks plugged into them. Are your pins bent? Mine fit fairly snug into the extension cable end.

Do you mind sending me this cable? I'll send you a new replacement in return.

And you get one too!

OMG, really?!

Can I have the CX78+, if at all possible please?

Should I pm you my details?

 

This is going straight into my museum collection.

The factory made a few controllers with blue buttons.

 

I'll think of a competition to give them away or just give them away ad hoc.

It's neat to have different colored buttons.  I know the red is iconic.  But it doesn't hurt to change things up sometimes.  The blue looks good.

The cx78 is sick ... Can it be ordered?

 

You should ask for lime yellow, bright orange, atomic purple too to see how those go.
