Collection for sale, including the 'air world' cart

[Collection for sale, including the 'air world' cart]

Hey I'm going to auction off my rare Swordquest game too. It's called Tank World. Bidding starts at ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

[Return of the Bogus 5200 WICO]

That is definetely the CV Wico. I have 2 of them myself.

[N64 revisited!]

I am moycon! I forgot how great the original Turok was. It's a shame the one the GC seems pretty crappy. I only played it briefly but I wasn't impressed.

[Sniderman's AMAZING RACE Giveaway!]

Oh the cartridge, I was afraid we were playing for underwear with stars and the moon on 'em.

[N64 revisited!]

I forgot the 64 also has my 2nd favorite controllers of all time. Of course CV Superaction sticks are my favorite

[N64 revisited!]

I got the 64 when it first came out and have never regretted it. It still gets played a lot (a little less as the rest of my collection grows) and I think its quality is what will lead me to get a Gamecube when I can afford one. Over the years I've taken crap from my friends with the PS (I only got a PS1 recently) but as the price dropped on the 64 ($25 now) they all bought one.

 

My fave 64 games:

Mario 64

Starfox 64

Rogue Squadron

Blast Corps

All of the Mario Party games my wife and I play a game every night!

Resident Evil

Goldeneye

[5200 or Colecovision?]

You definetely have a point there. The Atari carts for CV are all well done. There is that weird Defender thing though where nothing shows up in the radar screen. I disagree on Coleco's games being dull. Many of the coleco made games are supergood like Destructor, Victory, Tarzan, and of course War Games.

[What to do..what to do..]

If you can afford to keep both then just buy the Platinum. If you want to be thrifty sell the old one. I have to admit I'm baffled that color of the system would mean anything to you. I just want it to work and the games to be good, I couldn't care what it looked like. I'm also jealous because I don't have one at all, let alone in different colors!

[99%, Yeah Right!!!!!!!!!!!!]

You guys showing off your fancy edjamacashun and book learnen'. His message is perfectly cromulent and embiggins this forum. No, I'm just kidding. I much prefer at least an attempt at proper english.

[Check out these Atari keyboards!]

Yeah the auction at Goodwill is definetely making harder to spot stuff locally but there is a good side. I've been bidding and watching some stuff here and there and the ending bids are, for the most part, lower then Ebay. I got my 5200 and 40 carts from shopgoodwill.com. It was DOA but I traded it with somebody on this board for a 2 port and they fixed it. It worked out good actually, I got a good working 5200 and they got a 4 port.

[Check out these Atari keyboards!]

Not ebay but an auction just the same.

[5200 or Colecovision?]

Sorry King Atari, but an ice cold Rolling Rock beats the hell out of any flat sugar syrup like Pepsi on any day of the week.

[How do you spell gross?]

Ummm how did you find this? Were you searching for Kangaroo or Scrotum?

[Unfriendly collectors]

Bangles66,

Games USA is a cool place but I would doubt it's worth a road trip from New Hampshire. You could probably call them, check if they have something and mailorder it. On the other hand if you come down to Games USA, afterwards go east on Merrick Road and hit All American Burger. It's the best greasy burger place in the universe. It's definetely worth the road trip.

[Unfriendly collectors]

I found GAMESUSA's address:

2785 Merrick RD

Bellmore, NY 11710

 

Their phone number is 516-409-9567

Happy searchin'

[Hookinh up atari 2600 to NON Floor Modle TV!]

go here http://www.atariage.com/store/Hardware.html

and take a look at the Coaxial (F-Type) to Female RCA Adapter or the TV/Game switchbox. The RF cable from your Atari will fit this adapter. You can also get this stuff from Radio Shack but it's much cooler to support AtariAge. In fact I would suggest everyone order an AA t-shirt especially the one that says "Good Games Only Need One Red Button."

[Unfriendly collectors]

Sorry I don't have the exact address on me but Games USA is located on Merrick Rd near the intersection of Bellmore Rd & Merrick. I'll see if I can find their card with the address and phone number, it might save you a trip. They have a lot of stuff but most of it is pretty common. They do have a nice selection of full systems. The last time I was there they had an SMS, Saturn, Virtual Boy, 3DO, TG16 (and a sweet Turboexpress), as well as all flavors of Atari. The prices on systems are OK, not great. Their caarts run the gamut from cheap to ridiculous. For some reason I've found the rarer stuff cheaper then say Pifall.

[Aren't there any Expos or Board members from NY/LI? :(]

Hey MrRetroGamer it sounds like we are almost neighbors. I'm on the Nassau side of Floral Park.

[campaign colecovision.. how the fuck do i play?]

You have to move your character completely around the perimeter of the state you want to enter. My friends and I played that game everyday after school (as well as most of the other CV library). It's a truly unique game for its time.

[Unfriendly collectors]

I have met a few collectors at place in Bellmore, NY called Games USA. They sell everything from 2600 to x-box stuff so you're bound to run into collectors. For the most part, most have been at least civil, if not friendly. I have run into a few that were insane at fleas, thrifts,etc. One guy started berrating me for buying 2600 games (a collector who doesn't like atari?) and looking at the SNES stuff. He started giving me crap about how only idiots like Nintendo and I should only buy Genesis stuff, etc. I politely offered to shove his Genesis carts down his throat and he left. This episode was especially stupid because I collect Genny stuff too, so it could have been a fun discussion instead of an almost fight.

[Turbografx Games]

Does anybody know site with rarity listings for TG-16 games?

 

I just picked up a Turbografx 16 and CD unit with a bunch of games from a guy I work with. It's sweet! I was wondering if any of the games were rare and I can't find much TG info on the net. I'm trying to avoid buying Digital Press at the moment due to lack of funds after the TG purchase.

[Nintendo emulator on Playstation]

The info about the non working DCs for emulation on dcemulation.com is wrong. I had one of the ones they say doesn't work but it will if you burn the CDR with Nero. Those just won't work with DiscJuggler burns. I don't know why DJ can't do it, but when I switched to Nero, it was all good. I would be careful about using your DC for this stuff though. CDRs make the drive work much harder then real GD-roms. I think it might eventually burn out the drive.

[Missed deals]

In 1984 when I was 13 and decided I wanted an electric guitar, I sold my Colecovison and Atari setups to get the $400 for the guitar. I had carts and controllers for both systems that are worth quite a bit today and hard to find. Everything had a box and instructions.

 

I still love that guitar but I curse myself each morning for decision.

[Garage Sale Grievances]

$2 for a c64 and DD? Man! And I thought my $15 for the box C64 stuff was a deal.
