Adding S-Video to an Atari 2600

Atari 2600 S Video Mod

Sometimes the older gaming consoles don't mesh to well with the newer tvs, resulting in a picture that's less than satisfactory.  Atari's 2600's are no exception. Ben Heckendorn has recently posted about trying out the Atari AV mod from www.longhornengineer.com. Besides higher video quality you also get a stereo mod in the board to split the audio into left and right channels. Detailed instructions are included so all you need is an Atari and a bit of soldering skill and you should be able to enjoy some sharp retro graphics.

Snake’s Revenge – Tiger Electronics Handheld

Snake’s Revenge - Tiger Electronics Handheld

This 1990 LCD hand held Game made by Tiger Electronics somewhat mirrors the Snakes Revenge NES title released the same year. Part of the Tiger Electronics "Game Talk" series in which bits of very simple dialog are inserted into the gaming experience. Commando Nick Myer will call you on your transceiver with hot game hints like; " Tank ahead use a missile!" Or John Turner will call you randomly and ask " Are you Ok? "

The artwork around the LCD screen was pulled from the images found on the NES games Box and Label. The game features 8 stages that will find you fighting enemy soldiers, grenadiers, tanks, Metal Gear 1's and a Metal Gear 2. Stealth game play is replaced with a more run and gun style.
