ROCKINGROLL Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 My 2600 multicart should be arriving in the mail today. I can't wait to try it out! I never was able to find a listing of the games, though. The link that 4JAYS supplied didn't work. Are most of the games common ones, or are there some good rarities on there? Are there any plans for a second multicart for the 2600? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jahfish Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 well i don't have to worry about the origin, as i am getting my multicart from sean personally !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari70s Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 ive felt odd buying a multi cart for some reason i just didnt like the small switches or somethign how does everyone who has one ()getting one feel about the small switches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 There are all different kinds of multicarts. Sean Kelly is the largest seller of them, and I think he will actually make a custom cart (you choose all the games). One of these days I will have to buy one, or maybe I'll just get a Cuttle Cart. You can pretty much get every great 2600 game there is on a 100-game multicart (IMO). Is 4Jays selling Sean Kelly carts, something of their own construction, or something else entirely? Just curious.

ROCKINGROLL Posted August 31, 2001 Author Share Posted August 31, 2001 I was told that it is one of Sean Kelly's carts. I didn't know that he could do custom ones! [ 08-30-2001: Message edited by: ROCKINGROLL ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 I just checked his web site, and I didn't see anything about custom carts. So I'm not sure if he does or not, but I thought he used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel D. Park Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 The Sean Kelly 256 Game Multi-Cart rules. It has lots of great rarities on it. It's got Halloween and Texas Chainway Massacre on it. It's got a bunch of odd ones too. It's got Open Sesame on it, so you can listen to the atari 2600 belch out the words "Open Sesame".. The cart is really great, and works flawlessly. I think airworld is on there and just piles of wonderful stuff. Hopefully you get the manual with the cart, because it tells you what dip switch combonations set what game. Good Luck.

Joel D. Park Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 Oh yea, about the second Multi-Cart. Hozer video did a Multi-cart of only Homebrews and Works in Progress. I haven't checked it out yet but it's probably very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure about that? ... and I believe it's Texas Chainsaw Massacre... you have to live up to your Atari Pro II title there Joel And for something more on-topic: How would people compare a Multicart to the Cuttle Cart? The Multicart seems more convenient to me (no need for extra gizmos such as cd's, tape recorders, or a computer), but the Cuttle Cart can do damn near everything... which would you rather have if you could only have one? --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel D. Park Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 I meant waterworld. Sorry.. I had just finished posting to the Airworld Project thing and screwed it up. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel D. Park Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 Oh man, I didn't notice the Chanway thing too.. Geesh. I believe I must have been on the Phone when I was typing that. Ok, I meant, Waterwold AND Texas Chainsaw Massacre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCKINGROLL Posted August 31, 2001 Author Share Posted August 31, 2001 I still haven't received the multicart. I want to play it so bad I can taste it! Are Robin Hood & Sir Lancelot on that cart? How are those games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cschell Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 You all do realize that these multicarts contain only 2K and 4K games right? Including larger games would require additional logic for bankswitching. Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 Hi, I have too one Multi Cart. Great thing. But WaterWorld, Robin Hood, Sir Lancelot are not on the Cart. But there are some Prototypes: Alligator People, Coke Wins, Color Bar Generator, Cubicolor, Imagic Selector, Off your Rocker and Peek-A-Boo. And very Rare Games like: Music Machine, Nuts, Pharao's Curse, Save our Ship, and many more. I will be great, if someone will make a second cart with all games they missed.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that! I guess that puts your Cuttle Cart ahead in my opinion ...sigh... if only I had the money to buy one of them --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osbo Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 I had a multicart back in Argentina, with all Activision and Atari games! I love the cart 32 wonderfull games! Actually I had two, and a couple with 4 games, and another with 2 games... multicars were more popular than the regular 1 game cart Osbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCKINGROLL Posted September 3, 2001 Author Share Posted September 3, 2001 Well, it still hasn't arrived, but Sean Kelly was kind enough to e-mail me a list of the games & their switch positions. He also told me that 4Jays buys their multicarts in bulk from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbeliever Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 Multi carts? Waaay back in the day, I had an old Atari 2600 (and still do, but a friend's got it!!) but never experienced multi carts! I know my current line up doesn't have one, either. I didn't think they even MADE them back then! Thanks for the heads up, everyone! Maybe I'll try to get some myself!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahfish Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 dont worry rock! sean just came back from CGE and must sort out his stuff. he sent me short mail appologising. you'll get it soon, i am sure ... BTW i have a boxed robin hood/ sir lancelot for you, if you're interested in a trade... greetings fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCKINGROLL Posted September 10, 2001 Author Share Posted September 10, 2001 Okay, I finally received the multicart, and it rocks!!! However, the screen flips on some of the games. Can anybody tell me why that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
