    Super Action Football from 1983 lets you kick punts, field goals, and extra points. Recover fumbles, score safties, or pull a blitz and sack the quarterback. Helmet not included. It's good to see football is starting this weekend. But why does the photo of the overlay on the back of the box look different than what's actually included?

    Whole e-Carp... I don't know how I did it, but I broke 40K!!!
    I just kind of got into a rhythm and I was there before I realized it.  Will I break 50K? I doubt it, but it sure will be fun to try!

    I'm not sure if I can win this thing, @RickR, but I'll have fun trying! I have been doing much better using your cart, so I guess that tells you something. My goal is to break 40k in the next few days. I'm pretty sure I can get there!

    Nice job, @MaliciousCarp and @socrates63!  I need to try to catch up to you guys this weekend.  @HDN, my old cart is good luck, so I'm hoping you can win this thing!

    The Vader in my opinion is the nicest looking console I own. The NES looks like a Fischer-Price VCR (though intentionally so), I like the way the SNES looks but mine is yellowed, I have the Genesis Flashback and that's not the same, N64 is a lumpy mess, OG XBOX is too bulky and dated, the Wii reeks of casual (though the black model is slightly less severe),  Wii U is okay, and the Switch looks like a Wii U Gamepad taco. The 7800 also looks slick, but I think Vader barely beats it. The Woody doesn't look too bad, especially where I have it set up at my grandparents' in a heavily wooded room.

    Aw man.  You mean I have to try harder?!? 😉 
    Nice scores guys!  I'll try again in a day or two.  And...
    ...is one sexy and clean looking 2600 unit!  @RickR's games are pre-trained for the Squad Challenges. 😁

    Managed to break 20k on @RickR's copy of Galaxian, which came in the mail today. I much prefer the 2600 joystick to the Wii remote! 22,970. This is a great video game.

    I tried using an Atari on a LCD and, uggg, colors were dark and grungy looking.  Not nice to look at at all.  My old 20" Sanyo is a CRT but a true flat screen CRT.  It still has a bright and vibrant picture and looks really good with these older consoles designed for CRTs.  I wouldn't part with it for anything.

    Finally broke 50k! It turned out to be a little more difficult than I thought it'd be.
    I have to admit that I've grown to like Galaxian a lot. I had always ignored it in favor of Galaga both at the arcade and at home and never liked the weak sounding single volley at a time Galaxian gun. The 2600 version of Galaxian has proved to be a very fun game and has become one of my favorite 2600 games.

    I got 43,950 and maybe stage 15 but I'm going for 50K. Ships are worth more points in flight but the main thing is to shoot the emissaries first, the purple ones. And you can sort of steer the direction they move by positioning yourself so they fly back towards you. Once you get rid of them the green ships are easy and slow moving. When you see the red escorts shoot them first followed by the white flagship. It's not easy to do but it gives you 800 points. I really focus more on the purple guys then shoot everything else whether it's in flight or not.

    With better focus, I feel like I can reach 50k or even 60k. It didn't feel overwhelming at 42k.
