Ahhh the Epyx 500 XJ...good to see a few fellow fans here. We've been using the XJ for ages..in fact we liked them so much, we ordered in a few new/old stock from the US (We are in Australia). Funnily enuff the microswitch clicking never bothered me. Does anyone use different sticks for different games? The XJ or a Bug if you can find one for platformers etc, The Wico Boss (another EXCELLENT stick) for drivers etc. is a personal fave. Mark

Hi All Sorry if this has been covered before, but what is the BEST way to store your Atari carts? Plastic bags or not? Mylar? Tuppaware type storage containers? Forgive a newbie and let me know what you think is best Cheers Mark

Could you fling a copy my way as well? I need it fer my webpage in production Cheers

Hi all We've just picked up a Spectravision (aka Spectravideo) catalog called 'Meet the Challenge - volume 2 11/82', which includes details of a game called 'Galactic Tactic'. This game doesnt appear in the rarity guide. Just wondering if anyone has any details? Since we are trying to collect all the spectravision games we were saddened to see that 'Mangia' is a 10.... wish us luck BTW, we have 3 cross force, 2 nexars and 2 planet patrols...anyone got Mangia?

Its not that 7800/2600 incompatability thingy that I read about in another post?? One of my Activision carts rolls when I play it on my 7800 (its the only one) but works fine in my 2600 or my Colecovision. I was stuffed until i read the post about it..put it in a 2600...no more problems Cheers Mark

Thanks all. Looks like I will try to get a copy and yes BBSB was an incredibly hard game at times...a few broken joysticks from that one i seem to remember. Great Game..I love it Cheers Mark

Hi All Just was wondering if Miner 2049er II was the same as Bounty Bob Strikes Back on the Commodore 64? I have a feeling BBSB was the Miner 2049 sequel on the C=64. I have Miner 2049er and before i go off in a probably fruitless search for the sequel, I would like to know if it would be worth the hunt I loved BBSB on the C=64...it was a great game and the cause of a lot of lost sleep in my younger days So how about it? They the same or am I barking up the wrong tree? Cheers All Mark

I had a nice score I think I picked up Star Wars The Arcade Game Tapeworm Stargunner Fast Food (Both by Telesys) TWO Copies of Threshold (Tigervision...that makes three in the collection) Robin Hood/Sir Lancelot Double Ender by Xonox Commando in the box Chopped Command in the box And 15 other commons. The Price? $30 Aus. I was very happy Oh and I scored 6 NES carts that I didnt have for $2 last week..happy happy happy Best of luck all...and Thank you Bira Bira Marko the EXTREMELY lucky of late
