  1. Howdy folks, I'm happy to announce that I am now in the Pong owners club 🙂 I found this little guy for $10 at a yard sale, guy said "it worked when I put it in the attic."

     

    Needless to say, it kinda didn't. I managed to fix the paddle jitter with some alcohol and electrical tape, but I'm not sure where to start with fixing this colour issue. Is there a faulty part or could it just be from battery acid corrosion? I'm cracking the unit open this weekend. Any insight is always appreciated! PONG.jpg.0ec5b103a560b48f242a2c4b23a9f5f5.jpg

  2. I wasn't there day one but I also had zero knowledge about its infamy in game history. I didn't this it was bad, just kinda weird. I actually liked the sprite for pac-man and thought he looked neat. I was amused by the manual explaining the bonus "fruit" away as a vitamin or something. Only mild beef with the game was the flicker of the ghosts, but whatevs.....I still like the pac-man sprite 😂

  3. So, I recently picked up an AtariVox+ (yay!) and noticed that it doesn't quite fit into the slot of my 7800. As it states on the AtariAge shop, not all extension cables seem to work with it. Thankfully, the Seagull 78 seems to be totally compatible with the little guy, giving 7800 owners yet another reason to own one (or two) of these things. So, that got me to try plugging in other random items with the same nine pin port.

    So far, most of the bootleg Famiclone controllers still dont work properly. The BrawlerGen from Retro Fighters works like a champ, and theres this odd lightgun called the "Panther" that "sorta works."   I tried out the Panther with the seagull 78 and Crossbow instered, it for sure sees the lightgun and the shots register but theres no way to aim. Disapointing but its making me curious to see what else can be used on the 7800 thats to this little cable.

    Anyone here have any unusal stull that ended up working on their Atari units?

  4. Where did the getaway for ps2 go?

    That one I took out, I realized after the fact that it wasnt in the shot! Oopsie. Heres what I put in. Not pictured but added are some more comics (cave woman, vanity, etc)   

     

    Oh @NoSwearGamer: the transforming figure is from a line of toys called "Rock Lords" made by the same guys that made GoBots. I think his name was "Nugget"
