IndyJones1023 28 Report post Posted June 6, 2017 Hi, all! I'm an old timer. Got my first 2600 in 1978 or so. Still have a Woody, 1040ST, ColecoVision, INTV, and most newer systems. Even built a full MAME machine. But I guess my claim to fame is I'm the guy who made the Atari Manual Tome back in 2002. http://www.westg8.com/atari/ 15 TeddyGermany, Justin, Arenafoot and 12 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never knew of your Tome file until now. Awesome reference guide! Will there be a version 2?

My claim to fame is The Most Comprehensive List of Atari VCS/2600 Homebrews ever compiled - https://1drv.ms/x/s!ArXu52QZivTrgVbQayev1Wc1QprN Alas no. Over the years I've lost my original files. And I'd hate to start from scratch. I worked on that beast whenever I was bored at work a few jobs ago. So it's dead, Jim. 6 Arenafoot, The Professor, StormSurge and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IndyJones1023 28 Report post Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) This is from my old house, so this pic is over 10 years old, but here it is. I built the cabinet and found a TV with super video input. I have it connected to a power outlet that turns on when it senses another machine turn on. And I have the computer inside (still running Windows 98!!!) run off that plug and set to turn on when a key is pressed. I bought the control panel from SlikStik. So when I press any button on the panel, the computer turns on which triggers the TV to come on. It's magic! I have a shortcut on my desktop to turn off the computer, so I track ball to that, double tap it and the whole thing shuts off. I love it. Just played it with a buddy last weekend while cranking 80s tunes and finishing off a bottle of Jack. Fun times.
