jmjustin6 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Todays find are why i go out all the time to look for stuff. I finally found Pitfall 2!! Plus i stopped by the local comic book store and found these in the 50 cent box (there might have been more atari force comics but they have about 20 boxes of 50 cent comics and it would have taken me all day to look) The Professor, RickR, Ballblaɀer and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmjustin6 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Ok so now that i am testing them, neither boxing nor pitfall 2 want to work. I used the basic q tip and rubbing alcohol and nothing. Please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeJ07 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) My haul from a local retro game store. IronSword: Wizards & Warriors II for the NES, Night Stalker for the Intellivision, Math Gran Prix for the 2600, and ChuChu Rocket for the Dreamcast, all for $20.

Ballblaɀer Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I find that Activision games are some of the toughest games to get going. But most of them DO get going eventually, so I definitely wouldn't give up hope. Sometimes I'm able to get Activision carts working by pushing the cartridge in evenly, then just BARELY lifting up the left or the right side. Not lifting so far that any of the contacts slide all the way out, but just enough so that the PCB is angled slightly differently.

LeeJ07 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 My copy of Dragster is a pain, and I've never gotten it to work with my 2600 Jr. Activision carts are a NIGHTMARE to deal with. Quote "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Keep cleaning them. Use a new q-tip each time. Sometimes, it takes several cleanings to get them going. jmjustin6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This series isn't bad. It's more Mario than a true Wizards&Warriors type game, but still pretty cool.

RickR Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 A Pac Man plug and play, and 5 top-secret NES games? Why top secret? Because I bought them for the next junk box!

RickR Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 The Pac Man plug and play above is AWESOME. It's quickly become one of my favorites. Huge selection of great games, nice emulation, and a really really great control scheme on Pole Position (twist the knob to steer). It gets an A+. jmjustin6 and Rowsdower70 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeJ07 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I have that Pac-Man plug n play. One of its best features is it saves high scores, an essential thing for arcade games. RickR 1 Quote "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
