Got the little 80’s living room scene built on my #Atari2600 #LEGO Build tonight. It’s so “awesome” I can barely stand it. Love the little dude’s haircut, the CRT TV and the little kitty watching him play! 😂

Dude wonders in amazement at the compelling 4-bit LEGO graphics

@gedeonm I heard they went with the Atari because they couldn’t figure out how to do the paddles (;

It looks like I don't have posted in a week! I was busy writing a complete book about CVBasic with four example games 😉

Okay so I have acquired a CBS with 10 games. Seems to work well, but I need to service the controllers. I hear people do a microswitch mod?

Should've posted about this piece on the second generation of video game consoles by @siliconundergro before the one on the third generation I linked the other day. This one's super cool too. Colecovision, Intellivision, Vectrex, Atari consoles, etc https://dfarq.homeip.net/second-generation-video-game-consoles

220: B.C.’s Quest for Tires (1984)

Comic strips rarely convert well to games, but this attempt was at least fun. You played unicycling caveman Thor, on a quest to save his girlfriend from a dinosaur. (It’s quite possible the game was not historically accurate.) The speed and challenge quickly ramped up, making for a solid high score challenger. Just as well, given the game’s brevity.

Play it on: , ,

Something I'd been after for a very long time - the Expansion Module 1 for the - which lets you play 2600 games on the console.

A bit of deoxit sprayed onto the two connectors, and it works perfectly 😎 (Still needs a clean up though!)

Cleaning up the . The 2nd controller is somewhere in the house. As is the power brick and video cables.

The WarGames cart had special code pad inserts.

240p Test Suite Ported to... COLECOVISION?? (forums.atariage.com)

There's a diagnostic suite of software for game consoles which tests input lag and screen tearing on your display. This suite first popped up for consoles released at the turn of the century (Dreamcast, specifically), but someone has made a version of this toolkit for... the ColecoVision....

Nothing like having a coffee on Sunday morning, and coding a Z80 assembler because it is needed to bundle with CVBasic and having a Mac/Linux version.
