  1. So because of travel for work it looks like Episode 5 - Victory Run is going to be delayed till February 19th. If you want to get in feedback or an audio submission, please have it to me by February 16th. Thanks!
  2. I finished watching it; they really did fast forward things to the 90's, but it felt right at the same time for the flow of the show. Was really sad to see it end, but I enjoyed every episode and the way they finished things at the end of the series. I'm really glad it didn't get cancelled at the end of season 2 as rumored; it would have been AN ending, but not the ending this show deserved.
  3. I know its not right but Buck Rogers comes to mind...
  4. One issue I noticed with my SNES classic is input lag with our Samsung 55” if I don’t turn it on before turning the TV on. Weird but true; found the issue with other hdmi devices and Samsung tv’s on Google. Don’t have the issue with our 65” Sony’s. I have a cheap composite to hdmi adapter and it’s shown video quality issues and input lag when I tried to use it with my Intellivision Flashback and Atari Flashback 4. It worked ok with my N64 though (ok being the key word; no input lag but video quality was still not great). If your HD set still has composite in likely that’s your best bet; if it doesn’t then one of these cheap adapters is better than nothing, but YMMV.
  5. Thanks for the offer Rick, I’m just looking between my smartphone and the controller when I play for now. Maybe I should print it out and tape it to the tv :-)
  6. 67600 on real hardware with Atari 2600 joystick adapter

  9. Man the price is right too, thanks!
  10. A buddy of mine was moving and stumbled on a 2600 Jr he had lying around, and told me I could have it! Didn’t have a power supply or anything else with it, so I picked up a Retro-bit 2600 AC adapter and fired it up. The picture had a some jailbars and very staticky sound. I tore it apart, and dusted it out to see if that made any difference, and of course it didn’t. I then took off the shielding and tried it again, and the static in the sound is gone, and the picture still isn’t perfect, but it’s much clearer. Any idea why the shielding would be causing interference? I’m guessing it’s grounding out somewhere? Another question: I’m really interested in doing an AV mod on this since it’s a spare (I have my 7800 as my main system still)... is there a kit anyone would recommend?
  11. I've updated my trade list: http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/2624-starbuck-games-for-trade/

  13. I think I'll go ahead and pull the trigger on it... I was thinking 5 dollars was a good limit, but the only ones in that range have messed up labels. I don't see it turn up in the local retro shops too much either so that's a factor. Thanks!
  14. I'm really trying to snag a 2600 Popeye cart... kind of embarrassed when I went to play it to give feedback for Ferg's podcast and it wasn't on my shelf Does this seem reasonable or overpriced? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Popeye-Atari-2600-Video-Game-Cartridge-1983-Parker-Brothers-Tested-Works/202172848233?epid=56238455&hash=item2f1270d869:g:0dMAAOSwmOJZ7NPA If someone has one on here available for sale or trade just let me know, thanks!
  15. Thanks Rick, I do have a copy of Thin Ice already but thanks for the offer, great game! I landed my copy at a local retro store for 5 bucks; it was loose and half the end label is missing, but it works!
  16.

  17. Trying to win on a technicality eh? He said Supercharger in the description so I didn’t see the need to state it in my answer. :-P
  18. Burgertime, Lock N Chase, and the Imagic titles are the main reason I asked my wife for a real INTV for Xmas a while ago.
  19. Ooh I’ll take one of those Atari’s in silver please!
  20. Looking forward to this one! I love CV DK almost as much as the NES version, and this gives me a great reason to fire it up!
