Previous thread: >>12018115Rules of the thread are simple:>You can only talk about games and systems made before the US release of the NES (1985). Everything before it from the CRT Amusement Device to stuff like Marble Madness and Kung Fu Master is cool here. Later and homebrew ports for Pre-NES games on Pre-NES systems are allowed (e.g. Jr. Pac-Man was released in arcades in 1983 but the 2600 port came out in 1986)>That's it.What's your favorite video game that runs on discrete logic instead of CPUs? It's okay if your answer is pong Because that's my answer too
>>12039505I love SG-1000 Monaco GP, but I've never played the original discrete arcade version unfortunately. I hope to sometime. Of things I've actually played I do love the Coleco telstar pong on a chip.
>>12039524>Telstar PongI like that version too. It's probably the most arcade accurate version of home Pong graphically speaking. I'm sure if you played them side by side they gameplay would be a little different, but they did a good job with it.
c'mon best my score
What's a good Star Castle strategy? It's a fun game but there's a lot going on it feels like. Also does it not save scores on MAME? It's the only game that won't save scores for me
>>12040779You may need a hiscore.dat? I don't know if that's still a thing, you used to need a patched version of mame for it. (I haven't upgraded mame since 160 because of the mame/mess fusion bullshit)
I bought my first Atari 2600 a few weeks ago and my joystick finally came in yesterday. Finally assembled everything and played some Space Invaders on it. The RF out is noisy as shit so I think I'm going to do a onions composite mod on this bad boy before I sell it. The 2600 joystick hurts my arthritic old man hands, unfortunately, but Space Invaders is as fun as ever. As a whippersnapper who grew up with the PS1/N64/Saturn, the 2600 is super soulful and has a very nice library.
>>12041335>The 2600 joystick hurts my arthritic old man handsGenesis controllers work well. There's also some aftermarket controllers too like the ranger though I've never tried them.
>>12041335Never hurts to try
>>12042868Nu-Atari rereleased the Euro style 7800 controllers and they're not bad at all
>>12043725I've been extremely pleased with Nu-Atari's controllers. Their paddle controllers are perfect in every way. I wish they made a USB version though.
>>12044445indeed, I was very pleasantly surprised. I wish they'd do a real hardware clone of something but I'll never be mad about good controllers.
>>12044534are you guys talking about the CX40 controllers that atari has been selling on their website?
>>12044920Yeah, the CX40 sticks could be a little more stiff like the originals (kek), but they're still really good controllers and the overall build quality is great. I hope they make 5200 controllers that don't break someday, but I'd imagine they'd only do that if they made a 5200+.
>>12040459it's too good sorry
>>12045751I don't believe you. It's not even close to the top score
