Classic Video Games / Your "Mission to Mars" game?

« on: July 27, 2016, 01:24:49 pm »

Here's the scenario:

You're on a mission to mars, it's a 3 year round trip. After lift-off, your entertainment computer that has all your emulated games crashes. Luckily for you, your favorite game is still loaded. What game would that be and why?

Pitfall on the atari 2600 at my uncles house as a kid. Still an amazing game to this day.

Depends on how badly you want to fix this unit. There is a very cheap one on ebay that is untested... meaning it's broken. But you can roll the dice on the unit and buy it for parts to replace the parts on yours that are broken. Here is the auction:

I use one of these for my classic systems, it's cheap, but it can capture a 240 or lower signal.
