[At least 1 auction a day - everything must go! PS1 Collection, more]

Vic-20 and C-64 items added

 

Strange, I can only see the VIC20 (and your other auctions like the 7800 games), not a single C64 auction...

 

That is... concerning There are separate links for the vic-20 and c-64 items. This link shows no c-64 items? If so I have no idea why.

[At least 1 auction a day - everything must go! PS1 Collection, more]

Sorry to hear about that ax. I'll try and tone my listings down a bit

 

Btw I think I have an extra wall street. Not sure if the box is an upgrade for you or not.. I know it has missing pieces so it would sell very cheaply. I'll take pics of it and send them to ya.

[Can someone identify this c-64 cartridge?]

Well it is up for auction now if anyone is interested in it. Part of 57 different c-64 auctions just listed. enjoy!

[Can someone identify this c-64 cartridge?]

Ahh I didn't think it would be such a simple name as Assembler 64 =)

[Can someone identify this c-64 cartridge?]

Thanks for the replies. I will ask over at Lemon64 and see if I can get a confirmation on it being Supersoft.

[Can someone identify this c-64 cartridge?]

Doing some poking around, I believe this cart may be a Supersoft Mikro Assembler. I'd like to verify that by getting an image somewhere of the cartridge.. or perhaps even a supersoft logo which probably matches that little owl in the corner.

[Can someone identify this c-64 cartridge?]

Yeah I did that.. it responded with what you'd think, but just no identification.. just [Assembly] for the one and a monitor prompt for the other.

[Can someone identify this c-64 cartridge?]

I'm sure it does, I could try and guess at the syntax.

[Can someone identify this c-64 cartridge?]

I know it's an assembler and monitor cartridge. I've tested it but can not figure out who made it.

 

There is a hole in the top of the cartrige as if for a switch, but there's no switch.

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

[EA shutting down more servers]

Ran into yet another reason to hate EA this weekend. I was at a friend's house and he had just got SSX and wanted to show it to me. EA thoughtfully left out local multiplayer in the game and to play head to head you have to play online (with each person buying their own copy of course). Then when EA shuts down the servers in a couple of years you can't play multiplayer with your game at all!

 

T...T...T...Tricky!

 

Damn you EA.

[I just played Shamus on the vic-20]

There seems to be a little spurt of interest in the Vic of late. I've found myself posting in quite a few threads over a couple of gaming forums. Nice to see my favourite machine getting some love.

 

 

I should have tried out Gridrunner. I didn't notice it was a Jeff Minter game until after I had unhooked the vic-20.

 

Never got into the vic-20. I had a PC in 1980, one of the early pioneers in that category, then moved on to C-64 and later the Amiga.

 

Seems like a nice machine. I'll be auctioning it and about 15 games or so later today, maybe there is something you need.

[I just played Shamus on the vic-20]

How cool is that?

 

Yeah I have plugged in the vic-20 for maybe the first time. Stuck in a Shamus cart, and a Commmodore joystick.

 

I remember seeing this game being played on, what I remember was an Atari home computer at the closest computer store to my home. I always wanted to play it.

 

"Boy this is easy" .. I thought thru the first 3-4 rooms, then I got whacked. I don't think the Commodore joystick is all that good for playing games /excuse

 

Oh well, 30 years after I saw this game played I have a go. Not a bad game!

 

I suppose I should check out my other vic-20 games while I have this hooked up. Should be interesting to see Jeff Minter's Aggressor.

[At least 1 auction a day - everything must go! PS1 Collection, more]

Still some loose videopac games, some odd stuff like the Helicopter Rescue picture label.

 

Tomorrow will hopefully get some c-64 items up.

[War for the Bally Astrocade - 2nd print (30). SOLD OUT]

Cartridges have been assembled. Will be shipping in less than 2 weeks!

 

Also it's been a week since the announcement and they are not sold out yet, 9 remaining at this time. I'm opening up the option for additional copies to be bought. Just e-mail me at [email protected] to verify that they aren't sold out.

[Shawn]

Just make sure you know he's in Canada.. because he'll leave out that detail when negotiating for free shipping =)

[Win a Popeye Arcade game?]

I noticed when packaging up a shrinkwrapped Popeye for the Intellivision that Popeye was telling me that there was an instant-win game card inside. Obviously way past the expiration date, I could only wonder if the new owner of this game opened it up and found a winning came card, how sad he might be.

 

 

Has anyone opened up a vintage game like this to find a winning game card?

[What is the first RPG you beat? Ever?]

I'd forgotten about Oubliette. That was an amazing game for its time. I never finished it. I may have to install DOSBOX now...

 

Yes it was an awesome game.. and very few people remember it. I still have the original manual.

[What is the first RPG you beat? Ever?]

Ahhhhh yes... Treasure of Tarmin. Perhaps the only game where you do lethal combat with a door.

 

Before battery-backed saves or password saves, this would be the first one. How could I forget?

[At least 1 auction a day - everything must go! PS1 Collection, more]

Hmm I have heard that the shipping shows up that way for some people.. I don't understand why. I've checked it, the weight is correct, the method is Priority Mail. Handling is $1. It should show $7-$8 max shipped inside the USA. I'll have to check it again.. frustrating.

 

Edit: On the 2 imagic games it looks like the dimentions are not right, 14x14x9.. so it's kicking into another postage scale. Edit 2: Since there were bids already Ebay's craptastic software would not let me change the dimentions. I had to relist the 2 imagic games to correct this.

[What is the first RPG you beat? Ever?]

That would be Pool of Radiance on the C64 for me. Loved that game!

 

Epic, Epic game. That damned Lich near the end was hard as hell. I loved this game, you could fail a battle many times if you didn't use the right strategy/get lucky. Paralyze spell was the best. I hated not being able to level your characters past level 10 or whatever the max was.

[What is the first RPG you beat? Ever?]

I shied away from RPG's in the Apple 2 days (Wizardy, Ultima, etc.) because I just didn't get them as a child. The first RPG I ever beat was in the console days and it was the original Phantasy Star on the SMS.

 

 

It's funny - I beat this game before the Sega call-in Hint team had any notes on it at all. I sent my contact there a walkthru and a videotape of the ending, she was kind enough to send me a huge stack of SMS hints/cheats. Wish I knew where this stuff went.

 

As for first RPG beaten.. hmm. Does adventure count? Dragonstomper? I played Temple of Apshai but I'm sure I didn't beat it.. same with Oubliette. Wizardry 6 was a satisfying win. I put it as my favorite game of all time (at the time). I'd say it still resides in my top-10. There has to be one before Phantasy Star for me but my memory fails me.

[2600 ... or 2600?]

it's clearly the two point six kay.

[EA shutting down more servers]

Yet, after almost 15 years.. Ultima Online servers are still up & running =)

 

I wonder why EA keeps them up. I guess there are still enough subscribers to pay for them.
