So what's a "complete" collection? One cart of each commercially available 1-26 + Democart? Including their boxes, instruction booklets and warranty cards + grey pamphlet (who knows what was originally in a package)? Eldest version possible of these? Maybe also the alternate #22 (visibly different) and #17 (not that different, there's an alternate ROM). Box variations? The German variations and the two German only releases (4 different carts)? A complete set of all European releases? All variations of the European releases? All PCB variations in all variations of all carts? All variations of everything before 1990? Pac-Man, Multi-Cart, Kevin vs Tomatoes, Trimerous, Tetris, Democart 2? Werbetextcassette? All carts ever made? There's one known of these, it's not unlikely others where made for other companies as well. Where do you draw the line for a complete set?

Nice, grabbed it. Like the code address being included as comment, very useful. I deleted a long rant about ves.h... Why make a secret decoder ring for your code? A lot of the stuff doesn't really make things easier, plain code and comments makes understanding each others code a lot easier IMHO.

You could have asked and I would have shown you mine. I had the Zircon orange series label posten a bit earlier. They're more rare than the usual Hangman IMHO.

Made a nice intro, working through the actual game. Ran into a problem, it's a little bit too large to fit on the Pac-Man board, I may have to adjust it to fit the Multi-Cart board, make a new board-design or shrink it. Haven't decided yet, maybe I should put the intro out there for you to decide or try and do some clever stuff to get the size down.

Well, it's better than the raw disassembly that's there now. Just wanted a backup copy where other Channel F related stuff is collected (and I'll find it myself in five years if I want to check something). I would probably remember there was some Channel F game disassembled at some site that had "FAST" and some flash thingy... and start googling. I'll wait until you feel it's done and hope I don't miss it.

Cool, may I add it here? http://channelf.se/veswiki/index.php?title=Disassembly:Videocart_16

Tombstone and lazzeri on the lat two spots I feel comfortable to offer at the moment. It's not the last ones made, there will be more.

Nice, not cheap but I have seen much more expensive ones. Well done!

One left for now Ianoid, so go ahead.

Sure still have two free spots to fill.

Got message that my chips have been released from customs... should be here any year. - it's horribly slow, I wish the postal service was run by the state again.

Updated #17 with the image from eBay - so it might not look as crappy anymore.

It's part of what I call Zircon orange series. Fairchild logo has been removed and they have a purple/brown-ish hue. Kind of the same as Bowling, maybe someone liked the color combination. I'm still missing a few of these, wonder if there's a "full" set. I'm actually missing #17 but haven't really got the money right now for the one on eBay - and it's less appealing when the instruction booklet missing. Would be nice if someone here bought it and could share a better image (see the horror below), current image on eBay may help but won't look that good after processed. Anyone with the orange 1,3,6,7,810,11,20,25,26... take a picture or scan it and send it over. There's an odd #6 as well, I image they might have lost the print material - look at that F, new and old style mixed. The B/W #7 is "normal" - there are some other B/W as well, but they're the same as the color ones - but without the color. Dennis has it on hos page, it has the "normal" edge label: http://fndcollectables.com/CHANNEL_F_INFO/U_S_/Carts_Boxs_Labels/6_THRU_10/6_thru_10.html

Nice, 25 for some rich fellow. Yes, a lot of carts were released by Zircon in white boxes, as long as it's a Zircon labeled cart there's really no suspicion of a fake IMHO.

Progress so far: Box motif is final, decided not to use mirrored R nor russian spelling and not the Nintendo image used in the mockup... and also not the old nor new official Tetris text logo. Decided to also make an instruction booklet, trying to decide what to write in it apart from basic instructions. I could use some help there from a native English-speaking fellow. Got the theme music today from "utz", haven't listen to it yet. It's going to play with the new title image. I'm going to add sound effect(s), at least when getting four rows, possibly a graphical effect as well. Going to change initial drop profile to lowest version. Being able to move sideways more than one step per drop step would be preferable. If feasible, different colored blocks. Considering using a single centered playfield when playing single. Quick drop by pressing down could be useful insted of dragging the block down. These are my wanted additions, some are mostly done, some not started. I may not implement all of them, it needs to get done in reasonable time as well - even though I could release it as it is. Still waiting for the last parts to be delivered and print shop getting the proper cardboard. Is there any feature YOU would want to see in the game?

As I wrote, I'm releasing five more for purchase. All you have to do is cash out, instructions in first post.

Prices are set, and it ended up in the expected price range: $97, free standard shipping, registered shipping is $11 more. I'm ready to take on five more buyers, feel free to send your payment. Everything isn't 100% done yet (box graphics, some code and also waiting for the music code to be finished and sent to me), as well as waiting for reply from the printer's that they have got the right kind of paper in stock. But prices for materials are in so that's done. As there are 13 cartridges to make at this time, don't buy one yet if you are impatient needing to wait between payment and delivery.

Haven't looked, but revert to previous version and re-do... check sizes and data address(es).

Probably a reasonable price. Could be a real collector needing some of the stuff and will sell the rest... for crazy ass prices.

Just $200... that will go up. https://www.ebay.com/itm/392626921035 How to link to ebay: ebay.com or co.uk or .de or whatever /itm/ auction number There's usually a bunch of extra data that can be removed. Some fora have a special eBay link thing - but you can also use the three link chain between strike through S and " (in web-browser at least). @Mikebloke - that sucks, ask again and point out you'll pay the extra shipping. I could ask a friend in NY if you need an in-between guy (and have no friends in the US).

Doesn't seem that bad, I paid more for mine - once upon a time.

I'll purchase a certain amount of components which will be enough to make probably double the amount already paid for, then calculate the real cost before offering these. There's customs fees and a few other details that might get more expensive than planned or if something goes wrong and has to be redone, startup costs for having things printed etc. We'll see, some parts have already arrived. I believe I have enough cartridge shells to cover more than the already bought ones.

I tested but my SLOT/CHECKERS boards doesn't work as Football with that jumper setting. Haven't got one of those for Football, who knows if there are hidden treasures.

Random isn't working in v14? Problem is most likely that : ; draw the sprite pi blit ...uses r9, so that collides with your random number as it's kept in r9.

It's hard... Sounds really liven things up. You could have little green men for lives counter: * *** * * * ... in 3x5 pixels
