I knew I didn't have Snoopy and the Red Baron, Tutankham, Solar Fox and Stargate. Of the 43 in the bin, 13 were new to my collection. I could replace my labelless copy of Frogger, and six more had intact end labels where my current copies didn't. Bulk, local buys like this are still paying off for me.

Does this mean my garage sale find isn't going to work on my US TV?

I'm new to the 2600.

I bought an atari 2600 jr with two controllers and a sega source for $34. The controllers work fine, but when I turned on the console with Skiing, the image was quite broken.

Then I tried tennis and the playing surface was blue.

I tried setting L6, L8 and R9.

L8 does nothing.

R9 just makes it worse.

With L6, the color can be changed a bit, for example the tennis court was dark green with red stripes (these stripes are also found in PacMan), but then it changes to blue.

Maybe there could be a problem with the power supply, it says 10V but after measuring it is between 13.5V and 14V.

Here is a photo of my board. It says ATARI 1983 at the top left and PAL-B is written on the case.

Could someone help me?

I love this game.

Looking for inspiration for storing my Atari Consoles. I have several variants of the 2600 along with the 5200 and 7800!

My joystick (which I'm assuming is a cx40) is becoming a little bit more unresponsive and making games like mario bros and donkey kong slightly harder to play

How can I make my stick more responsive?

I picked up this used 2600 from a thrift and it has really bad snowy picture so I decided to do a visual inspection of the board.i noticed this sticker in here, which I found out is the manufacturer date... But this is dated 72.5.16?? May 16th 1972?? Wasn't the Atari released in 1977?? The board has a copyright of 1980, so my thoughts are that it was a mis-stamp? Or were they manufacturing 5 years before releasing? Lol

So I know this is the 2600 sub but I use a 7800 stick with my 2600 jr but my 7800 proline controller refuses to register a down input and I replaced the metal dome switches and yet nothing on the down input so any advice is helpful

I remember getting this for Christmas and I think back on release it was £35 and certainly one of the more expensive cartridges. Would love to know folks memories of Chess ♟️♟️ I remember liking Chess but not being a great Chess player and hoping this would improve my game. My over ridding memory is of how long it would take to make a move and having to leave the TV on. I have always loved the box artwork

I have a old heavy sixer, and when I try to connect it to my modern led tv I get a very fuzzy picture. The tv does have an analogue tuner which tunes to channel 36 fir the vcs. Unfortunately I do not have any other old console to check to see if that works. I bought an rf to hdmi box which can just about tune to the vcs and display a picture over hdmi but that is even worse than the analogue picture.

At this point I am unsure as to whether the vcs is working properly - on the analogue channel I can see it well enough to play a game do is it possibly the video cable of rf modulator? The cable seems hardwired in and I don't have a spare to check with anyway.

Anyone got any ideas how to proceed?

Hi, the first time I got my breakout cartridge it worked perfectly and had colours. But since I plugged it for the second time it only shows in a glitchy black and white and doesn't work properly.
Yes the lever on the atari is set to colours and all of my other games play perfectly except for breakout.
I also cleaned the pins but nothing changed.

Any idea? I hope it's not to throw out

Every copy of starship I find local is either in horrible condition or over prices. I plan on having all the 1977 number carts some day, but that's not really important to me right now.
