unhuman Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Just hooked mine up.... I've got numerous issues: 1. No quadrun voice 2. tons of flickering in space duel, asteroids deluxe, Yars returns.. Interestingly if I hook up to my projector in the basement, it's slightly better... I suppose I've got Rev A... Is there a detailed list of fixes for Rev B? My sister got this at walmart for me - wonder how she got a rev A so late... Thanks - Howie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana P. Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Interesting. Mine was given to me on Christmas, and it was purchased a couple of days prior to Christmas at Target. I think that I have Rev B due to the fact that there is a voice that "announces" Quadrun. Also, I think that Rev B has a game that Rev A does not have, and mine has it. In any event, I have a lot of flickering in Asteroids Deluxe as well. I wrote about my concerns in the thread I posted called "Atari for Christmas...25 years later!" I really don't want to have to bother with exchanging it. Just hooked mine up.... I've got numerous issues: 1. No quadrun voice 2. tons of flickering in space duel, asteroids deluxe, Yars returns..

Dana P. Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I'd also like to add that playing Adventure 2 was an unbelievable blast. Adventure is my all time favorite game, and to find out that there was a sequel, with a secret "dot" and hidden message no less, was a thrill!

If you got voice in Quadrun, you have a Rev B. The flicker and jumpy screen in Space Duel and others is a part of both Rev A and Rev B.

unhuman Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 I exchanged mine... A few things to note: 1. the color/bw problem seems better with rev b on my tv 2. the speech in quadrun is a huge disappointment, from what was advertised in Atari Age magazine.... -Howie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you really couldn't expect amazing speech from the 2600 without some serious add-on hardware. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
