Hi Pete,

Yeah...as long as the TV matches the Atari 2600, you should be able to run
all the cartridges.  But note that the colors will be off.  Also, due to
the different number of scanlines, you might get vertical rolling.  If you
have power over your tv's vertical sync, then no problem.  Otherwise, it's
kinda hit and miss.
