    Default Dec 2011 Atari 2600 Competition: Pitfall

    As the weiner of last month's old man video game competition, I choose Pitfall! Let's see more than 3 competitors for this one, sheesh! I mean, who doesn't like Pitfall? Difficulty 'B', top score wins.



    Plug em in and let's go!

    Unfortunately, my 2600 is in the "repair shop" indefinitely.
    Is the PS2 Activision Anthology version acceptable, Sunnyvalle420?



    Come on, come on, come on...

    No pause allowed, but as there is no prize except bragging right amongst the three (I got grief about lacking knowledge, but not being willing to play Pac-Man?!? WTF, guys?) people who use their 2600's, hell yes, treismac! Glad to see another hot-n-ready Harry!

    What's wrong with the 2600? I have a busted 4 switch for parts and shipping is cheap...

    I have a spare working 2600...
    Now it is the beginning of
    a fantastic story! Let us
    make a Journey to
    the cave of Monters!
    Good luck!

    My four switch 2600 has a busted first player controller port with a missing pin. I've already desoldered (Good heavens was it a bitch! I hate desoldering!!!) the busted one off, so I just need to solder a new one in. At the moment, I'm away from my house and 2600, so let me get back to you to make sure that the controller port issue is all that ails my 2600.

    Sorry. I have no music video with a song referencing "hell" in its lyrics to link to the previous paragraph.

    I have no music either, nor hell, but at least your Atari is made with old-school engineering...

    Eh. Can you really say that you "won" a competition if you were the sole competitor?
