Centipedes a classic - one of my faves. Reminds me I need to scour ebay for loose carts again soon

That's a good picture btw - much better than my Vader

Mine has a scart mod ;) Well, after a long road of composite chaos.

Plus clicky push switches ;)

Aha. That'll explain it then :D
Must do it to mine one day - or just buy a 2600+

@exxos i have a couple of phoenix carts here, I’ll bring you one.

Was actually wondering about having that as the competition game.

Thanks but I found it :D

I've not played it much since my teens. Always wished there was more levels or something on it though . Likely my game time would be limited to about half an hour anyway because it would likely hurt my hands :roll: I remember I got very good at Pole position back in the day, it was not what score I could get, but how many times I could get it to go back to zero :lol:

I found my "bug" joystick and a couple of regular controls, no idea if they work yet tho.

BTW, hows it going to be with power is everyone taking extension leads or something ? Or is there power all around the hall ?

@exxos theres quite a few sockets and I have a few spare extensions but any tables in the middle will need longer ones. My bug joystick had a resistor on the left switch which I had to remove to get it to work

A dark corner table will be fine for me :lol:

:shrug:

Bit difficult for me to test stuff at the moment because my printer is in the way. Probably just end up gambling it works. I got a couple stigma rays which I am pretty sure work though they tend to be a bit hard on the wrists.

HI,

I m terribly sorry but the go-live of the project I am working on (work related) has been just delayed and lands on the exact weekend we have our Cyber Legends... Unfortunately I have to work whole weekend so won't be able to turn up with my Atari an Fujinet. If anything changes I will let you know. Again very sorry :(

Anyone got a known good null modem cable they could bring with them? I have ordered one but it hasn't arrived yet and so I'll have almost no time to test before the show (assuming it even arrives before the show). Thx. I did have one from back in the day but it doesn't seem work.

I've left it a bit late, but have popped up a promotional video for next Sunday:




@alexh IIRC with my null modem cable I had to tie a couple of pins together to get things recognised by the software. Could have been DCD to DTR. Was accomplished by a small loop of wire around two diagonal pins on the DB25 side.
