Mark Plays Videopac / Odyssey 2 part 02 of 02

Well the plus games do have nice backgrounds and such and some of them work really well - for example on the Attack of the Timelord / Terrahawks / Videopac 51 cartridge the enhanced background works really well but with Pick Axe Pete it distracts too much and it makes the simple game sprites less visible.
But then again it's all about personal preference ;)
Thanks for your response.

Hi Aqua, just a tad older than me - I am from 1970 myself. My wife is from that wonderful 1969.

LOL I am now 39 years old and got this machine when i was 12 ! I got the 38 KC Munchkin but only later on got the opportunity to obtain the 44 ' centipide ' version.

Tak for dit svar. Hilsen fra Holland! :-P

Hi Markvergeer, after looking at sewerel vids here on youtube of the G7000 LOL is like a rush LOL I must say I like the G7000 the most. You mention it too in ya video that some of the games you like better in std. version. I think the extra overlay of graphics makes it difficult to see some of the action. I will try see if I can find an cartridge of the PacMan clone :o) Oh and the gunfight one looks fun too allways wanted that but I guess I forgot all about it due to the PC aera LOL

Aqua

Drat I ran out of letters LOL
Thx for the greeting in Danish :o)
I better not try my luck in Dutch :D

Anyhow I noticed the US box has a ON/OFF switch, and I allways wondered if it was bad for the ROM to just pull it out while power on the box. As a kid I had fun pulling the ROM while program ran and sometimes the game was still sorta playable after putting back.
Recently I got me a Wii so my limited geek time goes on that and rest on There. com that is a cool virtual world.

Aqua

I am actually not sure you were supposed to do that with the G7000 - pulling out the cart with the device powered on. We had it on a extension-brick with its own on/off switch and we (almost) always turned it off - if you did pull out a cart hot it would make the console display flashing rubbish and psychedelic color flashing.

Thanks for your response. It was my first video game too. ;-)
