Ok I am trying to find the easiest way to hook each of these systems straight to the tv. I will have one tv per system so I think that the Nes and Sega I can use the red/yellow plugs and plug them directly in or am I wrong?

Also what is the easiest way to connect an Atari 2600 to a newer tv?

A NES & Sega Genesis can be hooked up via composite video to any TV with a composite video input. The Genesis outputs stereo so you can use the white and red jacks if you want or if your TV is mono,just use the white (or red) connector. Ask for the 2600,it can be connected directly via RF to the coax input of your TV without the use of a switch box. If it's a newer TV, be sure to switch over to the analog tuner (NTSC) rather than the digital tuner. (ATSC)

Thanks! I was mainly worried about the older systems being able to be played on a newer tv with all of the led, plasma, and other crap that's out these days. I know the shooting games are a no go, but for this tourney I don't need that.
