Atari 8-Bit Cartridges - A Big List!

I guess that you didn't notice our scan of the Espial cart either...

 

Where's your scan - got a link you can give me?

Espial cartridge, box and instruction manual scans, with ROM dump and game information can be found here: http://www.atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?...VERSION_ID=1878

 

You can find any A8 game page by typing the game's title (or a part of the title) into the box at the top of the screen (where it says, "enter your search query here").

 

If you're working from Krieg's list, you should bear in mind that it's out of date.

Not sure what you mean exactly... We already gave you links to pages on our site that had specific cartridge information, both for games and applications, some (as I wrote) with quite unique scans or ROM files.

Sorry I was abit confused - I hadn't worked out deathtrappomegranate was refering to atarimania.

 

And I see my mistake now -

I thought that espial shot you have was of a box because the picture doesn't have any border around the cart or an obvious cartridge connector at the bottom like most carts.

 

Added it now thanks.

 

So is that picture you have of Ducks Ahoy actually a cart as well?

Very nice - Thanks - only 18 missing pictures now.

Hmmm.

 

That depends on how comprehensive you want to be.

 

For example, there are eight Expando-Vision cartridges, and not just the one that's suggested by Krieg's list. Also, some titles have more than one variation. Astro Chase is an example. You have a scan of the Parker Brothers version (which only works on the 400/800), but there is also a version by First Star, produced for the Max-A-Flex arcade machine, which works on XL and XE machines (a scan is also available on our site).

 

Of course, there are also a few label variations, but we don't want to sound like 2600 collectors...

And just for the record, your host cannot handle the traffic this thread is generating so at this point everything we send you is for nothing if none of us can get to it.

Yeah -- I have to admit gigacities seems verly slow to connect this weekend (I have to re-click links sometimes to get it to connect)-

but once connected the page comes thru. They were down for a short while on friday - maybe they are having server issues.

Their quoted bandwidth is 300GB a month which should be ample (and the traffic to the site has been far below that).

Does anyone have any other recommendations for free hosts?

Well my primary motivation was to discover which games were available on cartridge for the 800.

I started by looking on ebay and then discovered atarimania and atariage's archives.

So now I've got 281 bins of which there are now only 16 missing pictures.

I've also now got a further 27 pictures without bins. (+ sinistar with no bin or picture - a bin was posted here at atariage but it doesn't seem to work).

I'll probably extend the page with label variations in the future, but for now it sort of works like a 'virtual collection'

- locally I have the cart pictures page linked to the bins so clicking on a cart picture automatically runs the game in an emulator - great fun!

And I can slowly build up my real collection with the best games I discover.....

There are a few more non-game carts listed on Andrew Kriegs' cart list

but I haven't been able to find any trace of them on the net so maybe they don't exist.

 

I think I've covered all the games!

Wow! Very cool!

We need one of these for the 2600
