The regulator board on my cab, has 1 different plug to my mates cab. There...

    Asteroids game problem

    Yes Dez, at this stage with the orange yolk glow, and white dot based on cranking the brightness, we are saying the monitor is good, Steve has done a lot of voltage checking at the right points to confirm this. Until I swap my mates Pcb into my cab [just about to crank a beer and do this], I...

    Asteroids game problem

    { Post edit] To Dez, and others, We don`t have any game sounds at all, no credit sounds, no game play sounds, but the speaker has an audio hum. Based off this, the Chassis can be eliminated can`t it?, all the voltages throughout are correct, so it cannot be BIG blue, or any other caps if we...

    Best non-gamer games for when you have groups of people over?

    For people that don`t really know much but want to re-connect with their past, try Gravitar!! makes them leave early! Seriously, I would think Frogger or Tetris, plus Pacman. OR RallyX

    Atari Burial Ground?

    Like drug lords and the like. Those games will be roached. Water and all sorts of toxic liquids soak through the ground and everything with it. Only hope is that it has never really rained there.

    Where can i buy lever/leaf joysticks?

    The joysticks I have now are called MCA, they have a plastic adaptor for 2way, 4way, 8 way, They are great whilst they are new, but I have been told that the original leaf/lever type is the way to go. Does anybody re-kit these and sell them? Thanks.

    Starcade Tv Show

    Chris, What an amazing clip that was. !!!!! It seems the game keeps changing, judging by the rocks and Cacti, is there a repeating pattern, or does it keep getting harder? You have given me some fuel for thought, I will indeed challenge that, but just give me 80 years, then keep an eye out...
