GameGod Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Hey, I was browsing my local Value Village (bling bling), and I ran across quite the cache of games.... The problem is, I have no idea what system they are for. I believe they are for the Atari 400/800, but I'm not sure... I have an Atari 400 sitting around, but I need a good RF switch (lost mine) and I'm afraid I might toast the unit if I try these carts... I bought 3 of the carts, here's a pic of one: As you can see, they aren't REALLY carts. They are just the boards and eeproms without covers. Some of them say "dome electronics 1983" on the bottom... Bootlegs right? Anyways, the total lot of games consisted of: Popeye Cent (short form?) MCMD (short form?) BLE (short form?) Pole Position Sinvader (?) Dig Dug Shoot Out Chess Quix (mis-labelled?) If anyone could tell me if any of these games are valuable/good, it would be great... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think "cent" is probably centipede, MCMD might be missile command, and Quix is probably Qix. Sorry I can't answer your question, I'm sure somebody else will.

TXG/MNX Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 These are 'bootlegs' or home-made carts. I don't know if they are rare but I have seen also home-made MAC/65, ACTION, BASIC XL/XE and more... The OSS cartridge sometimes have Mac65 & Action with a switch or all 4 of them on 1 cart. I also know that overhere in Europe they sold a lot of home-made copies of the Happy for the 1050... I have some around here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameGod Posted February 8, 2003 Author Share Posted February 8, 2003 Good job Atari guys... I'm pretty sure they're for Atari 400/800 because those cartridges have 15 pins, and so do mine (give or take a few).... and most importantly: they fit in the system. I'll give em a shot if I can get my grubby little hands on the right RF switch... Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
