The Professor

May latest covers Summer Games on both the 2600 & 7800 as well as a full review of the Super Twin 78 Twin Stick Atari 7800 Joystick.

 

 

Who wants to play retro handheld games on their TV? 
 
Well, now you can with the Mattel Classic Sports 3-in-1 plug and play!  Baseball, football, and basketball -- the LED versions right on your bigscreen!  Have fun, kids, and stop scratching your heads.
 




 

FYI, I uploaded about 30 more 2600 games, a few with manuals. Nothing fancy. The Star Trek game I posted sold in record time!

Thanks Arenafeets for the trade!  Space Hawk to add to my INTV collection and some cool expo swag!   Cheers!
 

Your welcome... and thanks for the INTV Atlantis cart and Atari catalog!

Does this count as showing off a successful trade? 
I gave shout outs both to Rowsdower and the site.

Sounds good.....at least that's one, I'm a member of! (no YouTube channel here)........

Yes. For my loose games (no matter the system), it should be programmed to count regular shipping on the first plus and additional dollar per every extra game bought. This should show up at the checkout, but you have to pay for everything together at the same time to get it.
If the discount doesn't show, or if you want to combine other type of auctions, you would have to contact me before paying.

Hi guys! In case you didn't know, I sell games on the side as part of a very small business on eBay.  My seller name is integritygames and I've been on eBay for over 16 years and have sold over 2000 auctions. I take the time to clean the contacts, test every game and pack well when shipping. I try to keep competitive prices and fair shipping (I often have several 99 cent games for sale like common 2600 games). Now I am a real small business and have paid for my licenses and collect sales tax for buyers from Florida.
And btw, for trusted, long term forum members, if you ever see a game you want to trade for, just message me and I will see if we can work something out.
 
Here's my link to see what I am selling today!

Recent reviews include Phoenix & Realsports Baseball on the 2600, the ultra rare Tank Command on the 7800, Ice Hockey on the NES and controller reviews on the 7800 Pro-Line and Europad.

 

 

 

 

 

So I got my games from AtariBrian!
Smurf and Towering Inferno for the 2600.
Together I call this combo "Smurf BBQ" 

 
Unbeknownst to each other, we both got stickers out of the deal.
He sent me this cool, 1980's Super Pac-Man mini sheet:

 
And checkout the cool contest on the back!
Make your own Pac-Man poster and you could wind a prize!
Time to get out my scented markers...

I don't think anyone has the true story on that one.  The plausible stories I've heard:
 
- It was the codename for the Indy game.
- It was a plane/jet based game that got cancelled -- never made it past the prototype state. 
- It was the codename for Realsports Baseball. 
- It was a game in the works, but the programmer left for a different company.  Took all traces with him/her. 
 
That second one sounds the most plausible. 

Thanks To Dwight Gooden and The No Swear Gamer for trading me these games.

Keith Carlson ATARI DONATION video REDO !

As the title says, it had been bothering me since the original video I uploaded Sept 12th of last year because of back-lighting it was hard to see most of the items I was attempting to show. Now I have corrected that mistake with this video, while not perfect allows you to see all the Atari related goodness in clear detail. THANKS!

Doom pt2 

FYI - alot of the new Atari VCS/2600 homebrews are posted here: http://pdroms.de/news/atari2600/

I never cared for any of the Summer/Winter games series, but that version of Joust is amazing.   I know you'll enjoy!
 
Thanks again for the trade!
 
EDIT:  That box originally was used to ship a Genesis 3 (console only) I won on eBay.  I was a bit puzzled when I saw it as well.

So this weekend I got a package. A mysterious package labeled Genesis 2. How strange. I already have a Genesis 2 and the package seemed to small to hold one. None the less I opened it to see what was inside...

 
Oh wow! It's my game selections from the Rowsdower Omnivision Club! Joust on the NES and Summer Games on the 2600! I already own these games on other systems, but I wanted to try these versions too.

 
And look! even the Michael Jordan Pog was left speechless by its awesomeness! Just speechless!

another update!........... Three major additions: Graywest added a spy-themed song to the title screen.  He also added an option to turn off the background flash if that sort of thing bothers you.  Just flip the right difficulty switch to "B" to turn off the flash, or flip it to "A" to turn the flash on.  Finally, he fixed a game-breaking problem that happened on the higher levels (around level 4 or 5) - when the difficulty ramps up, the game would sometimes create such a large gap in the wall that it wasn't physically possible for the player to cross it between lighthouse rotations.  That problem should be fixed now.

Spies in the Night by graywest

Don't try to adjust the "Color / B/W" switch on your 2600 - this is a "Noir" game.   

You are a spy in a trench coat and fedora trying to... well, I haven't quite worked out that part of the story yet. But there is a rotating lighthouse in the distance.  If the beam falls upon you and you aren't completely hidden behind the wall, a sniper will end your life in a hail of bullets.

 

Push the joystick left and right to walk in that direction.  The fire button will make your player duck.  This is helpful to hide behind shorter segments of the broken wall.

 

Cross to the right side of the screen to score 100 points.  The broken wall is randomly generated each time.  Once you pass a certain number of screens, the level will advance and the wall sections will become more sparse.  You get 100 points for passing each screen, and 10,000 points for clearing each level.

 

Right now, there is no limit to the number of lives you have.  If you die, just push the fire button to try again from the left side of the screen.  Limited lives are in the works.  I'm also planning to set up the timer minikernel to add some pressure to the game. (done)

Note: if flashing screens bother you, this game flashes the background once every 3 seconds or so as the lighthouse beam passes over the player.  Just FYI.

 

ANOTHER UPDATE: Added a "detonator" to the end of each level.  If you reach it before time runs out, push it down to blow up the lighthouse!  Also added a new title screen.
