An attempt to find a complete collection of video game code wheels (big thx to oldgames.sk for the original code wheel script) All code wheels are interactive and - as far as possible - original scans of the individual wheels or at least scans of each setting of the code wheel, which were then put together with photoshop [UPDATE 2022-10-11] Added : Harveys neue Augen | 2011 (only raw-scans - it's not possible to create an interactive wheel atm because it uses both sides) [UPDATE 2022-10-09]...

The Atari 5200 SuperSystem, commonly known as the Atari 5200, is a video game console that was introduced in 1982 by Atari Inc. as a higher-end complementary console for the popular Atari 2600. The 5200 was created to compete with the Intellivision, but wound up more directly competing with the ColecoVision shortly after its release. The 5200 was based on Atari Inc.'s existing 400/800 computers and the internal hardware was almost identical, although software was not directly compatible between...
The Atari 7800 ProSystem, or simply the Atari 7800, is a video game console officially released by Atari Corporation in January 1986. The 1986 launch is sometimes referred to as a "re-release" or "relaunch" because the Atari 7800 had originally been announced in May of 1984, to replace Atari Inc.'s Atari 5200, but a general release was shelved due to the sale of the company. In January 1986, the 7800 was relaunched and would compete that year with the Nintendo Entertainment...

The manual for the Fairchild Channel F video game system. Released in 1976, it was the first console ever to use interchangeable cartridges and a microprocessor, it did moderately okay before juggernaut Atari took over the market a few year later. This manual comes from a "Channel F" branded box, which was the second box revision. The manual is likely the same as the one that came from the first box, however.
