YES!  I knew Justin liked Pong, so I added one from my personal collection just for you!  I love it when a plan comes together.  :mr_t:

 

 

Next question any kmow what ac plug goes with this pong? My 2600 plug doesnt fit

 

If you have a universal adapter (that's what I used), it's the one smaller than the 2600 plug.  I think they call it a 1/8". 

 

I'm so glad you found some good junk to keep.

Ok so the junk box has come and this is what i took out. I tried my hardest fit everything back in, but i just couldnt get darth vader, the transformer, and the emoji cat back in there

 

Other than that. I cant wait to try this pong out! The book is filled with various Nintendo posters

Very good picks! Can't want to come my way!

Junk!  Juuunk!  Juuuuunk!

What'd I take?

  • Space Dungeon, for the 5200.  A very nice upgrade to what I had, which was looking a little worn.
  • Riddle of the Sphinx, for the 2600.  A *big* upgrade to the copy in my collection, which was far more faded than I'd realized.
  • Compute!'s First Book of Atari, from 1981 -- gonna have to try typing up some of the included programs on my 1200XL sometime!
  • Alphabet Zoo (Spinnaker) for the Atari 8-bit line -- I'm not going to start collecting 8-bit carts, I'm not going to start collecting 8-bit carts, I'm not going to...
  • A CX-40 Atari joystick, in excellent condition. 
  • A new cassette tape!  I honestly took this for the case -- I needed one for a loose Starpath cassette I have.  But now I can record you a mixtape, too.
  • Time Lord (NES) -- well, I wasn't gonna take this initially, but it was the one thing that wouldn't make it back in the box.  Hmm, maybe I'll start the next RJB...
  • Koopa shell McDonalds friction motor toy.  Came in the original plastic; I opened it so the cats could chase after it.  :lol:
  • The Big Book of Hell -- as a huge early Simpsons fan (man, isn't it a shame that it ended after 9 seasons? ;)) I've never read any of Groening's earlier comic work.  That changes now.
  • Activision TV Games plug-and-play from Toymax -- one of the first "modern" P&P devices (2001?). I'm curious to see how the 10 games compare to the originals!

Onto the next!

I believe it is one of the first. If memory serves, Jakks Pacific absorbed Toymax and used their plug n play to jump-start their TV Games line of PNPs, which lea to the popularity of PNPs in general. Also, I think the Toymax PNP is basically the same as Jakks Activision PNP, except for the controller used:

My update on what I took out of the junk box:

Star Trek for atar 5200, I played the coIecovision version, really good game

Pit stop for colecovision, I've never played this one, so hopefully a good one!

Frogger handheld game, I love handhelds so picking this one up was a no brainer.

Various Atari 5200 and 2600 manuals, I don't boxes for these, but it's always nice to have the manuals for them.

Finally, whoever put these in, many thanks, this tmnt action figure and book, as always a ninja turtles fan, so the more the merrier.

Wrapping this up as soon as I have an address for the next one in line will be out the door, hopefully this Monday

I'm throwing some good stuff into the box, was hoping to throw a console here, simply won't fit, guess next time, very happy with the junk box so far! ????
