DeV0 Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Grrrr,, well ive had to resort to ebay for some 7800 titles seeing as they are next to impossible to get here in the land of oz, They cost $7.50 each but i love my 7800''s so probably worth it. The commons i got are: Crossbow, dying to use my XE gun on something Pole position 2,,, Mean 18, Tower toppler,, Ok, this cost $9 but it is boxed. What do you guys think? Im in a PAL country and its been so hard getting 7800 stuff. Is this too expensive? Or quite ok, i just need to justify it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisjohn Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Sega SC-3000, two controllers, five titles (three boxed), three games, basic and music composition cart. I had to find a spare one of my Sega Megadrive power supplies though. Everything I've tested so far works. A$12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari Rescue Group Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I visited the flea market today and found: $5 -- working TurboGrafx 16 with 4 games $3 -- working Lynx I (scuffed paint but the screen is good) $5 -- APF M1000 console (no power supply or RF switchbox) Are there substitutes for the power unit and RF adapter for this? And for $2, one of these. I think this was a computer sales line..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I only got a boxed BASIC cart with it. However, the one I found was boxed and seemed never used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Where'd you get this one. There's a woman frequently at the Karinyup (sp?) swap-meet that has heaps of toys plus the occasional video game thing. I've bought stuff from her before, but I can't think what. Possibly my first SMS, but some other cart stuff more recently. Any funky projects for the system..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many projects at this time, but If i find any SC-3000 stuff in the wild, I go estatic. What version of Basic came with it, II, IIIA or IIIB? Was it the Rubber keys keyboard? This computer does remind me of the ZX Spectrum, but the SC-3000 IMO is way better. What joysticks, I have 2 Boxed of them, SJ-200 and SJ-300 I have.

Zeus Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 This weekend I found two Atari joysticks as well as Kaboom! and Air Raid(ers)! A good find considering the state of thrifts these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeV0 Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 For some reason i bought a Digital Venturis 575 today, Nice clean machine really. Think i'll use it for unix. it was only $5 My 7800 carts turned up today, Incredible since i only sent the money on wednesday. My verdict is they are worth every sent i paid. Been on Crossbow with my XE gun for ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 What version of Basic came with it, II, IIIA or IIIB? IIIA. And this weekend I picked up: ...including the game for A$18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Had a good day on the hunt today: http://www.SteveJuon.com/retro/pics/good_day.jpg The Microsurgeon is missing overlays, but the Robotron 2084 does come with the dual controller holder, and the entire thing CIB only cost me $2 (same for Frogger 5200 and Q*Bert 5200). I'm stoked since I didn't have a dual controller before now, so my 5200 collection got MORE complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbone Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 I picked up an Intellivision and an Intellivision II plus Boxing, Night Stalker, Demon Attack, NFL football, Blockade Runner and Beauty & the Beast for $17. I've got to go back for the colecovision I left. Does anyone have an RF cable for either unit and a power supply for the Intellivision II?

krisjohn Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I picked up a bag of mostly common Atari 2600 carts for A$2. In there was this pair of carts. Unfortunately no slick in the box or manual in the bag. They're not in AA's guide --anyone seen this variant before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad2600 Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 While not exactly a thrift find, I did find 2 NES units inside of a junk car while my brother and I were scavenging at the junkyard. I dunno if they work but who knows? I'm probably gonna strip the connectors and buy brand new ones and then sell the units as reconditioned.

icbrkr Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Posted this on Digitpress, but I'm so excited about it, I'm posting it here . Went to the local game store, found this setup for $52: An Astrocade, 30 games, $52! There's some interesting carts that came with it: The guide doesn't mention any sort of non-Bally version of Cosmic Raiders. Is this a new one? Also in the guide, it states for Astro Battle that the "title change [from Space Invaders] may have occured before the acquisition". It looks like it might be true. This cart has a copyright of Bally on it, instead of Astrocade. All in all, these are the games that came with it: Bally Basic (x2) Panzer Attack w/Red Baron Tornado Baseball, Tennis, Hockey and Handball Letter Match, Spell n Score, Crosswords 280 Zzzap and Dodgem Galactic Invasion Football Elementary Math and Bingo Math Space Fortress (x2) Amazing Maze/Tic Tac Toe Artillary Duel Sea Wolf and Bombardier Blackjack, Poker and Acey-Deucey Dog Patch Bally Pin Clowns and Brickyard Solar Conqueror Star Battle The Incredible Wizard (x2) Astro Battle (x2) Grand Prix Pirates Chase Cosmic Raiders (x2) Soccer/Dribbling Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
