MaliciousCarp 245 Report post Posted October 18, 2020 8 hours ago, HDN said: @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. 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. 1 HDN reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

socrates63 1,296 Report post Posted October 19, 2020 27,130 Hey, I got a shout-out during NSG's live stream -- woohoo! Every time I crop and edit the photo, I love the scan lines and the glow. Looks very clean on the actual TV but in the photos, the bright parts are fuzzy and glowy and makes me feel warm inside. 3 HDN, RickR and Justin reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 3 MaliciousCarp, HDN and Dinobot711 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a suggestion for you, @socrates63. Play some Atari 2600 in the dark! Nothing beats playing those games in the dark, especially the flashy and epileptic ones! Haunted House, Yar's Revenge, and Worm War I are three examples of games that will light up a dark room with lots of flashing colors! Unless you suffer from epilepsy, I recommend giving those games a try in the dark. Either way, the tamer ones still look fantastic in the dark! 1 socrates63 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
socrates63 1,296 Report post Posted October 19, 2020 That sounds fun, Harry. With Halloween coming up, Haunted House deserves to be played.

socrates63 1,296 Report post Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) No offense taken. I actually don’t even remember the story, but I love the character design and that’s why I’m a fan.

If I remember correctly there are some doors to all the different holidays and that Jack dude from the Halloween Land went into the Christmas Land and tried to hijack it? But in the end he realized that Christmas was good or something and saved the day. I think Santa Claus was held hostage by a mummy at some point? I will admit that the stop-motion animation is really well done, but some of the characters are just really grotesque and unappealing to me personally.

Grotesque, yet beautiful to look at. The characters and character designs are great. But the home run here is the decision to cast Danny Elfman as Jack Skellington. He nails the character perfectly. And that music...wow. At Disneyland, they normally do a Nightmare Before Christmas overlay to the Haunted Mansion during October/November, and it's excellent and fun. @Dinobot711, your pants are awesome, and I think I need a pair too. 3 Dinobot711, HDN and socrates63 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

socrates63 1,296 Report post Posted October 19, 2020 41,155 Woot! Broke 40k rather unexpectedly, jumping past the previous high mark of 27k from earlier today. Once you survive the two "donut" waves as Rick called them, reaching 20k isn't too tough. 5 HDN, Dinobot711, RickR and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HDN 1,653 Report post Posted October 20, 2020 It seems like only last week we were playing Galaxian... Demon Attack's a fun one, though. These Squad Challenges are great for making me replay old games that I haven't touched in a while or don't remember too fondly. Or just introducing me to new ones in general. But anyways, Demon Attack. It's good. I'm seriously considering taking @Atari Creep up on his offer. Speaking of the Creep, I'm working on your Haunted House Adventure game for ya, man. 4 RickR, chas10e, socrates63 and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
