+sramirez2008 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Oh, and this classic 2006 pic old school.jpg Really nice collection. Have to ask, what's included in the Thrust+ Professional Combat Pack? Also, noticed/like the Don Mattingly poster (I'm originally from the Bronx) and comics on the wall. Nice display. I need a man cave to set up my collection. I may have to take over one of my kids rooms when they leave for college. Thanks for sharing.

+Atarius Maximus Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I own 28 homebrews for the 2600. For several of them I bought the original and the upgraded version.

Edit: I guess you could say I own 30, if you include my own games. I also have Cave In and Gate Racer II on cart. Edit 2: Ooops, I forgot about Stay Frosty 2, The Byte Before Christmas, and the AA Holiday carts from 2003 and 2005. I also have some custom carts made of my own homebrews that were never released as well another 20 or so hacks on cart. I guess my actual real "homebrew" number is around 35, with hacks around 55. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) Oh, and this classic 2006 pic old school.jpg I've got some 16-cart Atari cases that I used to store my homebrews in, but my collection quickly outgrew them. Mine aren't the ones with the manual bays but those would be perfect for AA bog standard loose "cart + manual" releases...

TrekMD Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I've been considering Crazy Balloon. I'd say, stop considering it and get it. It is very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Ok. You guys have sold me Crazy Balloon. I'll add it to my next AA store purchase. Waiting for Star Castle Arcade, L.E.M., D.K. VCS etc. to hit the store. Lady Bug Arcade too. It will look good next my boxed Turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 TrekMD, how did you aquires 7800 Traveller? Did you win the original auction for it? I've got one as well. There must have been a small run done, but for the life of me, I'm struggling to find reference to this on the AA forums! There was a 7800 Traveller cart made and went around the world (including myself), you can find that thread here from 2007. Maybe the people who received Travi during that got a permanent cart to keep? I really can't recall! But there's a few mentions on here of people owning a 7800 Traveller, and a couple of sales.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Star Castle Arcade is planned for October (fingers crossed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Anyone know the ETA on these new games hitting the store? Or does Albert just throw them up whenever? Several games will hit the store around the middle of August. Several more will be released at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo in October (including Star Castle Arcade, as Thomas mentioned above). Games released in Portland will be available in the online store after the show. ..Al 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Latest HB's added to my collection are Chetiry and Wolfenstein VCS: The Next Mission. Only had enough time available to basically test the carts. Plan on thoroughly playing each one in the coming weeks and adding a review in the Store.

Still I like hearing as much opinions as I can But, already have my shopping list ready to go from the games I tried and liked at Classic Game Fest! It's tough to knock a homebrew since you don't want to hurt any feelings, lol. We had this discussion years ago (somewhere here on the forums) and a few people did admit they generally score a "bad" homebrew higher than a bad commercially released game. The only game I remember giving a "bad" score was the original GoSub. My bad score was 2 out of 5 stars but since the game is no longer available in the store I'm guessing I wasn't the only one that knocked it I gave Reindeer rescue a 3 out of 5 stars but I think I didn't play it enough before I reviewed it and would actually change that score to a 4 now. I remember when I got it, I also got a few stellar homebrews (A-VCS-tec challenge was one of them and that game is a 5 all the way) so I think I was a little hard on it. There was another homebrew, the name escapes me right now but I remember the only review it had only got 2 out of 5 stars. Now, a big part of what real had an impact on me is the guy who did the cartridge/manual art gave it that review! If somebody that was a part of the game being released scored it that low, well, that was enough for me to hear, lol. That game is no longer available either though so again, I guess it wasn't just him that didn't like it AH! Solar Plexus....that was the name of it! http://atariage.com/cart_page.php?SoftwareLabelID=2737 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if one pays money for something he is positively biased already. Also, if a homebrew is bad, most people will not rate it in public at all. I find Nathan Strum's reviews in his blog and the Videogamecritc to be the most honest reviewers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Albert has his standards though for what he'll allow in the store, although I've heard he doesn't moderate the reviews much unless it's trolling or spam. I've seen other sites peddling homebrews which were nothing more than shameless hacks or polished turds. A gold plated turd is still a turd. Kinda like the NES/SNES guys peddling hacks and repros. And I've seen witnessed some pretty dumb stuff go for lots of money in the Nintendo collector's market... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
