I ended up having to buy a new set with multiple channels. Radio Shack. My little brother and I would use them to chat after bedtime. Also used them for pranks and hijinx, like suddenly buzzing a roomfull of people XD RickR and - Ω - 2 Quote Cheering vestry jolt now! 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can play co-op or dual player competition, which allows you to shoot your opponent. That's nasty! I won't list a top-five for homebrews, because its become impossible to do so. Our talented developers have made soo many good games, its hard to chose five and the five continue to change, year over year. I do feel that I have to mention Baby Pac-Man as this homebrew title is a home console exclusive. Maybe Atari can work something out with PacManPlus and get this cart re-issued for the 2600+ (which plays, via emulation 7800 games). This would make it available again to the masses.

We were all jealous of the shifter. my brother had one too. 3 speed, the shifter was a thumb knob though.

- Ω - Posted January 20 Author Report Share Posted January 20 My Dad had one exactly like this. I was the last one to use it when I converted everything from 8mm to VHS, which I later transferred to DVD's and now those old home movies only reside on hard drive. Back in 1992 the bulb was $30.00!

RickR Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 MaximumRD's status made me think about these. These were very common back in the 70/80's, but now pretty rare to see.
