Real Atari 600XL with real 320K RAM upgrade via parallel port. Shielded RF cable to coax connection just like back in the day. Real Joystick with Best Electronics circuit board. Atari 1050 disk drive in a box with real SIO connector with real US made disc image of Ninja. I didn't even realize this dang game had an ending! I've been playing this since 1986 LOL. Finally beat it. Only took me 36 years.

You can see my handle on the bottom of the TV. It's a big TV so it's hard to fit in the picture :) Real Atari 7800, real Edladdin controller.

@Mark:

I have an HDMI switcher. You have to watch though if you actually want the signal to be HD quality. Mine degrades the signal.

My next project is to find a tube TV that works with a light gun becuase this Trinitron is 1080I and it doesn't do light guns.

And yes, that is like an 800 pound Sony Trinitron TV.

Hey so one person voted "I'm not sure I can see your score."

 

My screen name is on the TV in the lower right corner. Go get your bifocals grandpa and look on the bottom right corner of the screen. Also, the aren't called mimeographs anymore they are called photocopies and cars are no longer horseless carriages.

It’s a 3 lives game so you can see here on level 10 that I still have 2 lives remaining so therefore only used 1.

@RetroRob:

I think it's kind of funny that the video game crash of 1983 basically allowed poor kids to play Atari well into the 90s. I remember bins of games for a couple of bucks. Froggo games, in particular, were everywhere then. I got Task Force in 1988 and at some point I blew it up with an M80. So many crappy Atari games lol.

I got this game for Christmas of 1987 because my mom found it at a Laneco for like 5 bucks. I really enjoy this game. Yes for me.

Also if you got a first run copy of Draconian at the Portland Retro Game Expo you got a 3d printed prototype base. 

Also yes, that is an original copy of Pitfall II Signed by David Crane.

I can't figure out why 1 person rated it as "untrustworthy", especially given that the Xbox live leaderboard mandates effective conditions for not cheating. The data is parsed server side, so I'm not sure how one could even theoretically not be above board. Maybe someone is just butt hurt.

Dude, you have to start sticking something in your videos or pictures WITH the score saying that it is yours. I've said no to probably 50 scores of yours. Find a napkin and write your username on it...add it as a title to the beginning of the video. ANYTHING. Help us help you.

If you play on 3 lives only (arcade mode), then you high score will be uploaded to leaderboards. If you set the game for any more lives, then it will not.

I want to support this, but this photo could be from anywhere. Next time, write your username on a bar napkin and just set it on the glass. That alone would have gotten 40% more yes votes.

You should try to post a screen shot in addition to a video. Some of us try to keep this site moving by voting a lot. I try to devote a solid hour per week to voting, so that I return the favor for people voting for me. I average over double the number of votes with a screen shot, as watching videos takes time and bandwidth.

Thanks for listening :)

It's a web emulated version of Phoenix. Phoenix was called Phoenix Revenge in certain countries. The site is legit. Check it out here:

I like it because it is not filtered on my corporate laptop :) I have to do something during teleconferences after all.

It's actually Atari's, oddly enough. Check it out:
