TrekMD Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Nice find! And it is sealed. I see the sticker that it is not for use with the 7800. What's the issue with this game and the 7800?

What's the issue with this game and the 7800? Mid era made 7800s don't work with the game unless you disable the extra timing circuit on the 7800 first. But doing that will then break 2600 Dark Chambers and 2600 Kung Fu master from working. So I guess Activision felt it was better to add that sticker on later made copies of the game so they didn't have to field support calls on why the game didn't work in a customer's 7800. Again, it only really effects those 7800s with the extra timing circuit. But consumers had no way of knowing if that was in their 7800 or not, so this was the best way to avoid it.

Sabertooth Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Not all of these are recent, but here are some modern Atari releases on physical (PS4/PS5). Of these, Pong Quest is not available on the VCS. TrekMD, greenween, Smell Dawg and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossBow Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Just one thing for this month so far. This has been in the works and planning stages for months but only just last month did everything get finalized and now I finally have it here...

What's the button on the lower right do? Is it a 4 way or 8 way? Sabertooth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The button on the lower right side is a mechanical button that switches the controller between 2600 2-btn & SMS 2 btn mode and 7800 2-btn mode. So the controller is designed to work on 3 different consoles to full capacity. The pause button is also wired up so that any console I modify internally using a simple logic gate circuit can have the console remotely paused. This is mainly for the SMS games. Many SMS games use the pause button on the console as a 3rd button to access inventory or stats in games. With that pause button being on the console itself, it isn't exactly ideal to have to get up each time I want to access that pause. But it can also be added to a 7800 as well pretty easily. The controller is using arcade level components and not the clones. In my case I opted for silent switches because all my other controllers have clicky switches and at night, it can be annoying when I want to play in low volume conditions. sramirez2008, RickR and socrates63 3 Quote See what I'm up to over at the Ivory Tower Collections: http://www.youtube.com/ivorytowercollections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sramirez2008 Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Here’s my latest vinyl purchase. A half speed master, promo copy of Tubular Bells from 1973. I purchased it from the original owner. It was lightly played and sounds great! Smell Dawg, RickR, Sabertooth and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptocoffee13 Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Robot Tank is great! A 7800 version would be awesome too. I think it would be a good Recharged title as well. socrates63, sramirez2008 and Sabertooth 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptocoffee13 Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Worm War 2 would be a good Recharged game. It could also be a new game offered up for the 2600+. Smell Dawg, sramirez2008 and socrates63 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari 5200 Guy Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 I’ve got to get a different power supply for it. I used my 5200’s power supply to test it out. It was the only supply in the house that would power it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
