Tillek Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Last thing was a complete boxed set of Exodus: Ultima III for the ST. Yeah, I've got the hard drive adapted version, complete with game save states, added intro pictures etc, but I had lost the original box to my copy and the original disk had finally started giving errors after almost a 1/2 million moves/saves. That would be cool.... I really only have U5 in box for the ST. I have them for the 8bit (actually had 2-4 back in the day).... I also have the Atarimax U3 and U4 cartridges. I'd love to get a complete boxed set for the ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8bitCarts Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Yep, I've been talking with the seller over the past week, he has 2 complete Pro Prompt systems and 1 Compu=Prompt cart with dongles. Info can be found here: http://proprompt.com/html/abt.html This is where he got the contact info... Looks like you got it. wow, $1200... I really thought it would go for considerably less since it's one of those many rare utility carts. I'm cleaning up my Atari cartridge list with Compu=Prompts help. Apparently the original is Compu=Prompt, then they split to create Pro+Prompt. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultra-Extreme-Rarity-PRO-PROMPT-Cart-OG-Disk-OG-9pin-Plug-COMPU-ATARI-800XL-/252181744003?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=M9FiwT6Uzrdb20PDngxrc80g5YU%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seller had a Pro+Prompt.cart, disk, 800xl and 1050 for $150, but the pic was grainy so I asked a few questions and it wasn't long before he pulled it after finding out it's rarity and potential value. Kicked myself in the butt for not pulling the trigger sooner That Espial Cartridge looked nice...

For the ST, I've got Ultima 3, 4, 5, and 6, complete and boxed. I think I've got U2, but no box. Have to look on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+slx Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Did not buy this as it's local pickup only but maybe someone closer wants to give it a try. I doubt there is a "hard drive" involved but then you never know.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DarkLord Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I never knew they did U6 for the Atari.... I really have to look for that one!!! This title drives me crazy. I mean, Ultima 6, great story line, nice boxed set, it's even hard drive install-able, and then...whoever did the conversion used the crappy CGA/EGA graphics/palette from the PC version. So some parts look okay, but sub screens with faces for example, look really rough. Various web sites will offer up excuses about the ST's limited 16 colors and lack of gaming power as the reason, but dedicated programmers have produced far better results. It could have been done better with a little more effort. It's a shame really. I hear they did the same thing with the Amiga conversion as well, but it was slightly better because it used 32 colors instead of just 16.

I doubt there is a "hard drive" involved but then you never know.... They don't seem to say "local pickup only"? Wasn't someone asking about a 400 keyboard recently? This is it for $50, although the front of that 400 looks a little tweaked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is it for $50, although the front of that 400 looks a little tweaked. I don't think the 400 top cover is damaged, it appears to not be screwed down and out of alignment. The description does say it needs a power board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8bitCarts Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Congratulations... Thank you. Now watch them come out in droves.. It's funny, I finally found Castle Hassle boxed, then once I had it several show up. It never fails. I found Super Zaxxon after 5 years of looking, paid out the A$$, and then I had 4 within a couple months. Then I fear we die off and our children sell our rarest of the rarest all for something like $20... I have many rare duplicates if anyone is in need...

This is it for $50, although the front of that 400 looks a little tweaked. It was local pickup at first but obviously the seller decided that a worldwide audience would better his chances.... I don't think the 400 top cover is damaged, it appears to not be screwed down and out of alignment. The description does say it needs a power board. Thought so, too, but was outbid. I'd be very interested to hear details from the winner as I later found out the auction included an Indus GT as well. (Would have been a nice spare... Congrats to whomever won it!

bbking67 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Well I bought a Jerry USB mouse adapter primarily for use with my Amiga... however it is configurable for Atari ST... so I'm going to try it out with Diamond GOS (on a 130XE). Can't wait to get the new GUI being worked on here... Now to find a compatible mouse in my boxes of what my wife calls "junk". The mouse needs to be USB but supporting PS/2 protocols (one of those mice that shipped with a little green PS/2 adapter I would think). http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amiga-Atari-USB-mouse-adapter-JERRY-Smooth-working-/231762500689?hash=item35f61f1c51:g:unQAAOSwv0tVbSPT Edited December 9, 2015 by bbking67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Since my last post: 2nd one... 1st STacy 2, didn't come with a PSU, but found a sub for $15... GRAPHICS TRANSFORMER. Turned out to be a Basic Rev C. Atari DOS3 manuals. Included a OS board too for $10. Atari In Store Demo Cartridge. Keeping the SuperCart and Whiz Kid, will sell the rest including the 800, it's fully working. This is the one that has the Smirk-1050 Happy Clone, the Smirk Controller board was included, but not working yet. Bristles and Flip Flop are new to my collection, rest are spares and will be selling... SpectraView II Cart Yep, it was me who got it I woke up just in time after the seller posted it... @Kyle, yes, I'll post the ROM Dumps too 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they on eBay.DE again? The 5 carts with Flip and Flop were sold by a seller in France 4 months ago, but the link is now dead. The SpectraView II was listed as a game and doesn't have any details about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
