Weird Sears 2600?

Mon May 23, 2011 1:14 AM

I saw this on eBay, and it looks a bit odd. Its an auction for a Sears Atari 2600. The picture makes it look like there are 2 speakers built into the top of the console - like a classic Pong system. Was this normal for Sears 6-switchers? The system is nonfunctional.

Pong Tournment Soundtrack

Fri Apr 1, 2011 3:14 PM

Hey all, I'm putting together a little Pong tournament for my computer science students. They will participate to get extra credit - with the winner getting nice credit prize.

Anyway, I want to add some background music - mainly for ambiance - not loud enough to drown out the beeps from the old machine. So, what songs would be best? I'm doing it relating to computer history. I've chosen some late 70's songs such as:

  • B52's - Rock Lobster (1979).mp3
  • Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive (1977).mp3
  • Bee Gees - You Should Be Dancing (1976).mp3
  • Heart - Baracuda (1977).mp3
  • KC and The Sunshine Band - Thats The Way (1975).mp3
  • KISS - Rock And Roll All Nite (1975).mp3
  • Lipps Inc. - Funky Town (1980).mp3
  • Rose Royce - Car Wash (1976).mp3
  • The Trammps - Disco Inferno (1976).mp3
  • Walter Murphy & The Big Apple Band - A Fifth Of Beethovan (1976).mp3
  • Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music (1976).mp3
  • Aerosmith - Walk This Way (1975).mp3

Should I remove any of these? Add others?

"TRON looking" pong on eBay

Sun Mar 27, 2011 7:34 AM

I saw the following auction on eBay for the Odyssey 3000. Its one of the final pongs put out by Magnavox.

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 330547017994

Anyway, the console is black with red and yellow stripes. To me, it looks a lot like the sentries and Clu from TRON Legacy. If anyone is a big fan of the film, they might get a kick out of this auction.

Pong Paddle - Help with the "Jigglies"

Tue Mar 22, 2011 1:30 PM

Hey all, I just bought a "new" old Pong Console - Sears Telegames Super Pong IV 99789.

Anyway, some of the controllers have the dreaded "jigglies". What is the best solution to fixing them? I, assume, that I just keep moving them (upside down) to get the crud off the contacts. Of course, this what I remember from back in the day. It might not be the ideal solution.

But, thankfully, I have this great community! Hopefully someone here will have some better techinques.

Anyway, I would appreciate any and all feedback/help.
