You want a good game for the 2600? Check out Jawbreaker by Tigervision. Great graphics, animation, and control. Many thrilling narrow escapes too.

F to RCA adapter and a TV gamebox. I have since but the Ataris back up so dont worry too much about.


The TV gamebox (whatever that is) is unnecessary if you have a femal RCA to male coaxial adapter like this one.

That's what I use. I go straight into the cable/antenna connection on the back of the TV and get a good signal (well, it ain't composite but it's good enough) from my Atari.

That's how I hook up my 2600, 7800 and 800XL systems.
