I removed the stock joystick top, shortened the shaft, threaded it and installed a ball.
I know I'm immature, but...this made me giggle like a little girl.

Dan -- I actually am planning to go to Galloping Ghost soon, probably the Saturday after Memorial Day...I really need to check that place out....
More on Logan, btw...I also noticed Moon Patrol there...
And the Donkey Kong machine is messed up....it plays fine (American configuration, of course, with the rivet board as the second board), but the sounds are kind of crazy....no SFX when you destroy a rivet; when you finish the rivet board you get the intro "Dragnet" music instead of the level-clear music; and I know that at some random point during the game I heard the "How high" music....

My Atari 7800 works great with our 40-inch Sony Bravia LCD, even the 2600 games! And as a bonus...the console-to-TV cable (it's late, can't think of the actual name!) actually doubles as an antenna; found that out accidentally! Signal is quite strong!

Okay, maybe it's because I've never played some of the duds you've all mentioned, but two games make me ragingly angry (and I'm a guy who's fallen into his share of pits in E.T.):
Breakout -- two levels and that's it. WTF?!
Cosmic Ark -- yeah, you read me correctly. Cosmic effing Ark. HATE IT. Joystick response is terrible, as is the collision detection during the meteor/asteroid screen...really, shots go right through 'em.
