    It's Daewoo brand? it's nothing fancy, but I bought it new back in the day and I like it because it gets pretty good picture and sound.

    Another personal best for me.  My aim is getting better and my strategy seems solid.  My main problem is I get overconfident with shooting the bats as they dive towards me instead of just dodging them.  The vast majority of lives lost is trying to hit bats as they dive.

    Thanks!  I really like how my game room turned out.  I would love to do a tour of it, but it is usually a mess (They way a good game room should be).  One of these days when I get it cleaned up I will make a video about it 🙂

    Can I just say I dig your setup?
    Both the VCR and System selector look similar to one's I've had. And I think I spy a Superman Super Friends figure I has as a kid!
    And of course, bonus points for Svengoolie!

    I have been playing the heck out of this one - and I finally got an improvement worth posting.
    I feel like I have a sound strategy (split the non-shooting demons into bats, then go after the shooting demon.  Once she is spit, go after the non-shooting bat partner.  When she starts descending - shoot as many bats as possible to keep them from turning into shooters.  Once a demon makes it to the lowest level - repeat.)
    Now I just need to work on my aim!

    Feels like Friday today for some reason, and I was able to muster better focus. Game on 🕹️🕹️
    The game doesn't appear to ramp up in difficult after a certain point, so it becomes a matter of sustained focus. I  mentioned this before but an important strategy is to avoid the demon raining down the laser/bullets and go after the other demons. I have to remind myself not to engage the weaponized demon if possible and go after the others. As part of that strategy, when the weapon demon splits into two, go after the one that is not firing. Eliminating that one will cause the weaponized demon to dive, and it's a double win. You minimize exposure to demon fire, and get extra points for eliminating the weaponized demon once it starts to dive.
    I need to get some awesome PJ or lounge pants. Shorts and bare legs are so bleh when it's autumn 🍂🍁

    Here is my first entry.  I somehow jammed the cart into my 7800... it may be walking funny for a while after this.  I really need to dig out one of my 2600s when I want to play Imagic games.

    The fact that you found a local game store that happened to have a copy in stock means that you have already won! 🙂

    MC, if you want to play third-party 2600 cartridges on the 7800 and don't want to mess with the 7800 hardware, you gotta get the Lock-on 2600. I had tight fit issues with 2600 Activision cartridges on my 7800, and there was no way Demon Attack would fit. But this little adapter makes it buttery nice and smooth.

    I honestly don't want to go that route because I am a little scared of the 7800 cartridges not lining up as well or having loose connections.  Maybe a good way to go would be to make a huge cartridge slot and then print a few different cartridge adapters for each style of cartridge... October and November are usually mega-busy for me so I probably won't get to it any time soon, but that might be a good winter project.    
    I do have demon attack on my Harmony cart as well -- now that I know how the game looks and feels on the original cart I can play on that knowing that I Have the correct ROM installed.

    @MaliciousCarp you should mod the cartridge slot to make it easier to fit games in. You have to crack the ring around the cartridge slot or something. Maybe make a video on it.
