Atari 5200 Guy Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 I collected a few old milk crates from food pantries during the pandemic and was not sure what to do with them. I also had an old table I wasn't sure what to do with. So, I combined them. It's a work in progress but here's a pic.

DegasElite Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 Nice setup. I see you have a Jaguar there. Does it have the CD unit? Thanks for sharing. :O) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DegasElite Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 Both games are pretty cool. Especially "VidGrid." I got a kick out of that game with unscrambling FMV music videos while they were playing. Real challenge, that game. :O) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DegasElite Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 There was going to be a "Country VidGrid," but it was shelved. That would have probably boosted sales if they went through with releasing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari 5200 Guy Posted January 27 Author Report Share Posted January 27 (edited) My game room got an upgrade. I’ll be spending most of my time in here now that my wife has passed away. What do you guys think? Edited January 27 by Atari 5200 Guy RickR, DegasElite, Justin and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari 5200 Guy Posted January 27 Author Report Share Posted January 27 I can’t capture my 7800 though. DegasElite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistaMaddog Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 You tried using a 2nd hand VCR? I used one to hook my Atari systems to a composite video monitor years ago, and now I use one to hook my A/V systems to my RF only CRT.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted February 2 Author Report Share Posted February 2 Odd. The 7800 can be captured through the VCR. The VCS must be converting the signal enough for the HDMI converter to see it. Nice. DegasElite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari 5200 Guy Posted February 2 Author Report Share Posted February 2 I found this by our dumpster a while back but never figured out what to do with it… But tonight I figured it out. I have a few console models where I have duplicate machines. It didn’t take me long to figure out which one I wanted to setup. Tada! Instant Atari fun! And it has small shelves on the sides, too! Although one small shelf was missing. I couldn’t find it but maybe someday I can make one. So the 5200 has a permanent place now along side the Junior model. I only have one 5200 console but it needed a permanent home. I know constantly hooking and removing it every time I wanted to play was not helping it. Ok, enough talk. I’m going to go play Atari today. You should do the same. It’s good for your mental health.
