Name That Atari Game Via Screenshot! - May 2021 Forum Game
RickR replied to nosweargamer's topic in Classic Gaming General
You got the small slam. Bridge is correct! -
What is it? It's a modern rendition of the classic Colecovision. It has a cartridge port and will play all of the original cartridge games. In addition, it has an SD card slot and can run Colecovision ROM files. It also has an Atari 2600 core to run Atari ROMs. Real Colecovision controllers work with it, and it also has a Super Nintendo socket to use a SNES gamepad. And it has HDMI output for use on modern TV's. It comes with the "super game module" built in -- so you can use the latest improved homebrew games with no issue. Willie at ArcadeUSA has a very good review up on Youtube, which I suggest you check out. What do I think? In the short time I've spent with the system, I can honestly tell you this thing is pure awesome. I love that real cartridges work (why can't more "flashback" systems include a cartridge port?) I haven't found any compatibility issues. Even my "new-to-me" roller controller works fine. It plays, looks, and sounds PERFECT. I really like how they made the unit look like a tiny Colecovision. The inclusion of the SNES port is genius. No more complaints about the "just-ok" Colecovision controllers. Any issues? Please know this: this list is insignificant and nitpicky. But an honest review must include some cons. There are some HDMI compatibility issues. I have one TV that won't play the sounds correctly. And I've read on-line of some Samsung TV's not being able to display the picture at all. The "core" slots for the SD Card are a touch confusing. I haven't messed with it much. My guess is that I'll set up the Coleco and Atari cores and try to never touch it again. I wish it had composite output to enjoy the system on an old CRT. I know that I can buy a converter of some kind, and I think I may go ahead and do that. Overall Opinion? It's a huge ball of awesomeness. Congratulations to the Collectorvision team for producing such an incredible system. I've heard talk of a third run of consoles, so get your name on their list if you are interested. Highly recommended. RickR gives this an A++++.

Ghostbusters! Who ya gonna call? -
I think mine has a 512mb SD card in it, and it's still got room left. At some point, I need to spend some time cleaning up and arranging the 2600 ROM files I have into useful and easy to use directories. My "homebrew" folder especially is a mess. Many versions of the same games...a lot of stuff that should be removed.

The UnoCart design and software is all public domain. So there are a few variations on the boards and layouts. Here's pics of my Pluscart, also with a case I purchased from Doug. What's interesting is that it runs the same UnoCart core. The case is sweet. Just like @HDN's, it's two colors and of very nice quality.

Late 70's, and yes, they are still returning data to Earth. That link that omega provided shows the instruments that are still operating on the probes. They used a plutonium power source.

Can we talk for a minute about V'GER? An advanced civilization of robots builds a ship for V'GER, but is too stupid to wipe the grime off the nameplate to reveal the full name? Or listen to the golden record? Captain Kirk literally wipes his fingers on the nameplate to reveal the name of the probe!

Yes. But powering those crafts for about 50 years is an impressive feat.

Wow, Voyager 1 is 14 BILLION miles from Earth. Incredible.

YES! (I was hoping someone would guess "Checkers" so I could play that Price is Right losing horn sound). -

Oooh! I know this one: Smurf - Rescue in Gargamel's Castle -
The console version is puzzling to me. The only thing the handheld system has of interest to me is the portability. Without that, it just seems easier to use emulation on a computer. Still, it's nice to see the product growing. I assume that indicates success in the marketplace. That's good!

I'm going to guess "Radar Lock". -

GORF is correct. Here's a screen print. Whoops! That's Tim Conway as "Dorf". My bad. Here's the real screen print.
