I have an UPS. It should power a TV and 2600 for at least 15-30 minutes.

Re: Could I try for the Atari 2600 Galaxian record?
As I said, I doubt there will be a problem. There will be a projector screen set up on the north end of the back yard - this was playing MAME/Virtual Pinball at the last meet and Samba de Amigo at the previous meet. So there's space. I'm just waiting for the other organizers to come online and read ...

Re: Could I try for the Atari 2600 Galaxian record?
Just an update. I have gotten much better. Now my high score is over 1,314,400. I now have a taped score of 1,003,590. There is a very significant chance that by the time this thing rolls around I will have the record. But I am still willing to go after my own record at the event if I do have the r...

Re: Could I try for the Atari 2600 Galaxian record?
Yes, it does need to be taped. I do have a VCR that tapes, so I guess I can do it that way. If anyone else wants to tape it they are welcome to, if I am allowed to do this. I doubt any of us would have an issue with this. Are you bringing all your own stuff? We organizers will need to discuss it, b...

Re: Could I try for the Atari 2600 Galaxian record?
It takes me about 55 minutes to get to 300k. To get the record it would probably take about 4 and a half hours. So it looks like I will only have one shot, maybe two if the first game is not that good. I am OK with the chance of a power outage. There's ways of fixing the brownout issue. I can alway...

Re: Could I try for the Atari 2600 Galaxian record?
How long does it take you to reach 300k?
The event is 6 hours long, but you also need to know there are occasional power outages.

Re: Suggestions for the September 26th Meeting.
Family Fun Arcade in Granada Hills had one of those Tron machines. The owner is a packrat, someone should contact him.

( ohhh Master System! We haven't had one of those yet! ) and his moving space is tight to be polite. I no longer ...
