It's also frighteningly cheap for such a device, wonder how well it would work.....

Hahaha, lol......you guys know me.....I'm not a hi score guy at all....at best I'm mediocre.

I am positive that if guys like Chen or Aart van Vliet would pick up DK on the A8 they would crush my score within a couple of hours.....so I won't be walking with my head in the clouds

Wonderfull job!

Nice.
I had the chance to see you playing, you had to learn a very different gamestyle that we have in our arcade cabs.

[level42]

Yup

I also have a joystick that is a million times better than the Nintendo one.....I can see why they went with that little cross on their pads....

[level42]

Hah....

CKONG had bought a "new" TV for his classic gaming hobby and it was in the city where Etienne lives so...the EADS (™) was called in to help and Etienne picked it up for Erik and he brought it to me for temporary storage.

I was interested in the picture of this TV so I had already hooked it up to the PAL Atari 600 XL that I recently bought and it worked just fine.

Tonight I wondered if it would be NTSC compatible at all. I had actually little hope, I know more recent TVs can handle the (fake) NTSC signals that come from "late" VHS recorders but I didn't think it would work.

So I hooked up the NTSC Atari 800 that I have borrowed from Mr.Atari (Sijmen) to give it a try..... and well it worked just fine !!!

So......I pressed the trigger and thought I'd do a short practice game.....the result:
