video game addict Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Got a lot of carts in the mail a couple days ago, and with this package my collection now sits at 100 carts! Oddly enough I'm still missing some of the more common titles like Ms. Pac-Man, Pitfall, and Robotron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A2600 Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Amazing, I have 13 but I still have others I want to get Kudos on the 100 mark in the 8-Bits its the most wonderful thing I have ever seen! Keep On Computing Like its 1982! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should ask Nir Dary to show you his collection. But the above pics are very nice, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Yes indeed. In fact, many of the carts were also released as disks (what good are high scores if you can't save them?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 Very nice! I recognize two of them. Have you been able to play them yet? Not yet. And also a couple others pictured above won't work on my XEGS or 800XL either. I have been thinking about buying the Ultra Translator Cartridge that Best sells. Anyone have one of these? I'm wondering how well it works, if it has a pass-thru on it, so the cart plugs into it? It would take up less space than an 800. The fact that Nir can put anything on cart makes his stand out above most people's anyway! Not to mention he has like 300 carts crammed into one little Sterilite container. but carts like Mr Do, Montezuma's Revenge, Tapper, M.U.L.E. although I too will have the cart version of M.U.L.E. soon enough. I would have hit the 100 cart mark long ago, if I hadn't sold all my craptacular educational games, and a few other trades/sells over the past couple years. And Nukey, you have a point, but I much prefer the no load times, and durability of carts over disk games. Plus carts just look cooler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have a pass-thru, you have to pull the translator cart out of the slot when it tells you. Then insert the cart you want to play while pushing one of the buttons. It's a little awkward but it does work OK. I was never able to get Krazy Kritters to work with the translator, though, it works fine on my 800.

Brad2600 Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Damn! Seeing all those 8 bit carts makes me want to kick myself for trading my 1200XL..darn! Activision for the 8 bit computers? Wow! More Activision stuff I need to get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 @video game addict-- Nono...the gist of it was why walter may have seen many more disks than carts. But I'll contend with load times if the disk has something extra in the program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
