pinball22 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I look at a lot of eBay auctions for games, and in the process I've found that a lot of people can't read or can't manage to type what they read. Usually this just results in a lot of auctions for Asteriods and Tag-Scan, but sometimes the outcome is much funnier. I've been saving my favorites as I find them and I thought I'd share.... enjoy.

Steppenwolffan21 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 That makes me laugh. It's sad because it hurts their auction. Say some one made an ad called Chuck the Chase Wagon, and the opening price was $0.49. :-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Yancey Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Don't forget about the laziness factor. I see a great number of what I presume to be Sears 2600 carts listed as "110 video games" or "64 video games". The seller doesn't bother to look at the end label to see that they are really Space Invaders and Asteroids. Some of these are more difficult to figure out if you don't already have the games.

Steppenwolffan21 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 That's true. It's sad because people are too lazy just to look at a label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinball22 Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 Glad y'all liked it. My favorite is Noxxvz. Took me a while to figure out what it was supposed to be. Then I realized it's Zaxxon upside down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindfield Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Fapper. That could be a pirate of Beat 'em and Eat 'em. Dil's Weed? Demon Act: The second sequel to Sister Act. And Spaced Invaders was a silly movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoopineDil's Weed 903136[/snapback] I couldn't figure out what Dil's Weed was supposed to be until I saw Loopine and realized that these were Colecovision carts. Wow.

+Nathan Strum Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Those are great! I needed a good laugh today. I can't help but think of what a homebrew game with some of those titles might be like. I'm surprised NE146 hasn't commented on Titankham and Wood Zapper yet. Nice list, could have been used for a Wacky Packages spin-off series called Wacky Video Game Cartridges! Now there's an idea.

attendo Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Some of them could be correctly written by the sellers because many pirates change the name of the original game a little bit like river reed instead of river raid etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly enough, 2 of the 3 that have the proper name on the carts he misspelled in the description (Riddle of the Sphimx and Warlocks), but he spelled all the misspellings correctly!
