I bought the 3DO for one game: AD&D Slayer. Endless dungeon hacking? Who wouldn't! Apparently, I wouldn't. I kept on detaching and reattaching cables to hook my Jag back up and play another few hours of Club Drive. Atari had gameplay. 3DO had plumbers without ties.

I'd say there may be a market for an AtariAge-like service for homebrew cart production. Especially if multiple platforms are supported. Right now AtariAge is the only storefront easy way to get your game on a physical cart.

I snatch pirate NES games and clone systems. Honestly, most high priced carts like eBay Raid and Chunk the Cheesewagon aren't worth owning.

Was the Atari 7800 Joypad incompatible? @Rex Dart: Thank you.

Now all we need is a multi cart: A card with contacts and jumpers for each pin

Shhh.. if they knew it'd be alot less funny to watch them drink it!

You have to do weak things like use UP on the joystick when you only have one button. It was blesphemy that they never came out with 2 button joysticks for the 2600 when they were clearly trying to compete with newer systems. See the conversions for Double Dragon, Kung Fu, Ikari Warriors, etc..

So...you think someone from here clicked on the link and *considered* buying it knowing it's fake? Really? Sure. Some collectors want to play their games without worrying about wear. Some gamers want to play games and could give two pooters over rarity.

Why not make the last pinball game the all everything machine? http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=98252.0

Any fictitious 2600 games that need making? There's a contest that challenges you to make a real game out of a fake game cover: http://www.agbic.com/discussion/23/

Once you go Flashback you never go, er, back?

I think parpunk deserves a thank you from the seller for the free advertising and extra weight in Google searches. Directly linking to the auction was icing on the cake. If you can't keep it between the seller, you and eBay then at least don't spread it around: It only helps the seller.

I never knew system/brand fanboy'ism until the 360 and PS3 came out. I thought we all just enjoyed games and bought the systems with those we selected to play. The Atari 2600 has a special place for me though. Pretty unique hardware. Games didn't have an "end" mostly. Due to AtariAge and Fred Quimby I can actually MAKE games for it. I guess that's drinking the Kool-Aid because it tastes good?

I 100% disagree with you. As desiv said, you are probably not the average Internet user. I work with everyone from people who have never used computers before all the way up to programmers, and everything in between. I can tell you from first-hand experience that people barely know how to search for anything online. I work in a library, by the way. Also, these same people are hopeless when it comes to using any sort of database. Even when you try to make it as simple as possible, there are always people dumber than you think. That's why my job exists, to a certain degree. I'd have to second that. In another thread people were having trouble searching on "Chainsaw Massacre" to verify if Hoser was the original publisher.

How is it playing with those funky joysticks? I bought an Astrocade but never got used the to the joysticks.

THIS. Someone needs to tell the true story of Custer and Pokeyerhotaz. I bet there's a great side-story on how Custer got his historically accurate pink bandana!

Sorry wrong again. A simple google search brings up nothing remotely close to the subject of this being a fake counterfeit copy, except this thread now. Here's what i searched "atari hoser video" NOTHING oh wait scroll down a few links and i see a HOZERVIDEOGAMES Hozer being spelled differently. whos to assume its the same? Anyways its clear who made the game, as it says it right on the cart. However Hoser video threw me off, heck when i first read it i thought it might have been a name of the guy who designed the game, layout, artwork, whatever. It sold now, so i guess its gone and ready to fool someone else. And alot of the times with a quick buy it now, you dont have time for research or its gone. And that's what this guy is cashing in on. Newbies who think its a great deal popping up quick. Wrong search. I'd look up the game itself not Hoser. Due diligence. If the buyer is not willing to research what he thinks he is getting then he fooled himself. I think we agree he is being a little shady though. Doesn't excuse lazy buyers. Ask the dude to clarify his listings. Don't shame him behind his back.

An Android machine is an Android machine is an Android machine. The only thing the Ouya does is add restrictions make make it seem like a unique system. I wish them the best of luck though. This place sells many, many Android game systems: http://www.willgoo.com/ Here be a $51 dollar Android 4.0 machine on a stick: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/mini-android-4-0-network-media-player-w-wi-fi-hdmi-usb-micro-usb-black-4gb-141171?item=406

This would be an easy port to the Sega Genesis. What kind of license are you using for this?

Besides on Sega Genesis the last time I saw parallax like this was Tower Toppler (bonus stages). Very cool!

Okay, I can see where "copy" is a little misleading. But, really. Do your research before buying anything "rare". A simple Google search will clear up who originally made this game..

When I looked at the listing just now it said (italics mine): No sneakiness there. It's a COPY by Hoser video. If it said something different when the OP posted then, yeah, he's a jerk. As with anything on ePay read carefully and do your research. Hoser will never be the original publisher of any game.

Because I don't know better, I still think a Harmony Cart/ARM hack could do advanced stuff. Use the 2600 to spit out the display and use the ARM for processing.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIrbCsqQEi8&feature=relmfu

As usual, pretty damn impressive! I would darken the grey wall a bit more so the staircase shows up a little better.

The screen isn't as horrible as the TG16 portable. Haven't experienced any game incompatibilities. Doesn't seem flimsy at all. It's not as portable as a PSP so it's only used for road trips.
