After much bidding, waiting, loosing, bidding, loosing, asking, waiting.... finally I've managed to score a somewhat decent 7800!
(At least I can finally play some games!)
Props to Ben over at AA for trading me his 7800 for a SMS (see below).
It's not without its flaws but regardless will hold me over!
Too bad about the static... I'll have to find a way to fix that so my screen is much sharper (what to do what to do?) Suggestions anyone?
The SMS didn't have that problem with a sharp image and for some reason the 7800 does. Argh...
Anyways... it's finally here!
(now a comfy sofa to sit on!)
(in other news, I decided to rid the Dimensia Amp on eBay.)
As much as I hated to see it go I really had no use for it with me having the Marantz.
And as much as I like the futuristic stuff the Marantz has a hold on me... plus the Dimensia @ 320 watts is a little insane for my needs :)
(Let's play that jinks at 320 watts ;) ooo.. better yet, Donkey Kong... that'll kill SOMEONE! Haha...
Marantz is more then loud enough - half way up and the walls are shaking enough as it is.
LED STORM on Atari ST
The road scrolls vertically, with some moderately sharp bends in a manner similar to Spy Hunter You have a jump device to clear the many jumps, or to land onto and flatten the other maniacs who line the road. You must choose which path to follow at OutRun-style forks in the road.
The roads contain bonus tags including bonus points, a battering ram to make contact with other cars more effective, and energy boosts to replenish damage. If you leave the road you must replace your car onto it using a directable winch which appears at the appropriate point.

Usually Pong competitions turned out to be quite unfair. The game is quite difficult and it's very easy to end up in a cycle where you just can't hit the ball. Scores like this were quite common.

The Atari 400 computer had a small (by Atari standards) cartridge with a plain text brown label. The cart contacts were protected by a sliding door, which was partially exposed, unlike the doors on 2600 and 5200 carts. The Atari 800 had two cartridge slots (because one is never enough), but the slots were not equivalent, forcing Atari 400/800 games to have a marking on the top of the cart telling you to insert it into the left or the right cartridge port. However, since people didn’t buy the Atari 800, not many cartridges were made for the exclusive right port, leaving it lonely and depressed.
Playing with some LED lighting effects, one of the objects - an ancient Atari 410 Program Recorder. Iron-age computing (no vacuum tubes so I won't go as far as stone or bronze ages with this one). What was the capacity of a tape in this thing? I know the single sided, regular density disk was 92K.
