This week I'm looking at two of the CBS Electronics Ram Plus games, Tunnel Runner and Omega Race, as well as the Booster Grip controller! Thanks for your patience this week, and thanks again for the donations, it is greatly appreciated. I think I have settled on a mixer so I can record the sounds from the 2600 itself, and also, I think I may be able to use that to play the audio submissions live so you can hear me react to them. My current mixer is a Kitchen Aid, so that one won't work. Next episode will be about Sky Skipper and Tutankham by Parker Brothers, so if you have any feedback on those games or games I've already covered, please send it to 2600gamebygame@comcast.net, or 2600gamebygame@gmail.com. Thank you so much for listening, you guys are the best!!

Hi there, thanks for your patience! I had some issues yesterday. :) Anyway, this episode deals with the released Coleco game Donkey Kong Jr., the prototype Looping, and the vaporware Pepper II (sadly) and Rocky Battles the Champ. Next time I'll be talking about the Commavid games Cosmic Swarm and Room of Doom. If you have any thoughts on these games or any I've already covered, you can send them to 2600gamebygame@comcast.net. I've been having some issues with email on my new computer, so I have made a new email address that you can also use, which is 2600gamebygame@gmail.com. That one shouldn't be too hard to remember! Thank you very much for listening!
