Well, it looks like only the 5200 Multicart is left.

EDIT: All sold. Thanks!

Very interesting article. The screenshot at the bottom of Inner Space is clearly an early version of Laser Gates. The article mentions several other games VentureVision was working on, which were to be released in pairs. The first pair (Inner Space and Solar Defense) were going to be released in April of that year, while three more pairs of games were going to be announced in June, September, and November. I'd love to find out more information on these missing games.

Just pre-ordered a copy myself. Thanks!

This is a new one to me, thank you. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Laser Gates' original title Inner Space?

I would DEFINITELY be interested in Haunted House II, and maybe Combat II Advanced. Itata's Quest seems like it would be awesome as well.

I've been really getting into Challenge from Zellers lately. Highly addicting.

I really like Secret Quest. It's a similar game to Adventure, only you're on a space station. I'd also recommend the unreleased Lord of the Rings prototype. It's not available on cartridge, but since the rom is available, you could play it on a Harmony cart. I agree that the Haunted Adventure games are amazing. They're so much more than simple hacks of Adventure. You should definitely pick up a copy of Haunted Adventure Trilogy from the Atari Age store. Also, Cave In and Evil Magician Returns are really good homebrew adventure games.

I absolutely love this game. Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of my favorite games on the 2600 and it's great to see a sequel. I first downloaded the game from this website and couldn't put it down. A member of that website posted a walkthrough, but even with that, it was still a challenge (like the original Raiders.) Great game.

If it is stated in the auction that the cartridge is a reproduction, then the buyer has no reason to complain. Even if they did just skim the auction and didn’t read the description, common sense would dictate that a Coke Wins selling at $20 or $30 with a buy it now is not an original. Hypothetically speaking, even supposing a seller isn’t clear in their description or isn’t being totally honest, I think that once the money is refunded and the whole thing is resolved, there is no reason to give negative feedback. The buyer has no basis to give negative feedback here. In this situation, the seller did everything right. In fact, they showed great customer service by responding and refunding the money so quickly.

He also seems to be selling several First Star Software games that atari2600.com is selling for $40 a piece for $119.96 after the sale. (Boulder Dash, Flip and Flop, & Rent Wars.) Are these limited editions or something? Special versions maybe?

The hacks are also gone (Wolfenstein VCS, Venture II and X3V0LuX) as well as a few games for other systems, such as Squares for the CV and Pac-Man Collection for the 7800. There seems to be more missing, but I can't quite remember what games were there before.

Doesn't the quote say something completely different? Like EMK bought the rights on Ventrue(Vision) games for Europe? Whoops. Looks like I completely misread the quote. Sorry about that. I'm not sure where my mind was last night. I apologize.

Ultravision never "programmed" anything...they just imported junk from Taiwan. Ah, so that's it. Thanks.

So Sancho bought the rights to Solar Defense and planned to sell it in Europe? That would make sense. I read that Exocet and Sea Hawk were originally programmed by Ultravision, and finally released by Sancho. Then again, I can't remeber where I read that, so I could be wrong.

Strange. It seems like Motorodeo has been selling for about $20-$30 lately (after a stash of them were recently found), but this particular auction is up to $72. (It ends in just over an hour.) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...cTODAY.m238.lVI Am I missing something in this auction? Or am I just incorrect about how much this game is worth?

Not mine. I wish it was. The manual is included too. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...cTODAY.m238.lVI

I would just like to say that I think this hack is amazing. At first, before I downloaded the .bin, I was hesitant about it being a Moonsweeper hack, but now I see that you couldn't have picked a better game to convert into a Superman game. It FEELS like you're playing as Superman, and not just a spaceship that is made to look like him. Superman is also rendered quite nicely. I think you're doing an excelent job.

I think this is shaping up to be a really good game. The second difficulty level really adds a dimension of gameplay. The slower speed gets a bit repetitive, whereas the faster speed becomes very frantic and quite a challenge. I like that there are both skill levels. You can practice on the slower level, then switch over for a real challenge. I think that the diet pills are a nice touch. I think that power-ups keep the game from being too hard on the faster level. As for the sound effects, I think the game works just as well without them. I don't think they added too much, and losing them in favor of the two skill levels seems fine to me. All in all, I think you made a really good, addicting game. Great job!

This new version is fantastic. In my opinion, the A.I. is just right. It didn't kill me in one hit anymore, yet is still very smart and learns from its mistakes. The sound effects when one of the tanks is hit is also a major improvement, adding to the feel of victory or defeat. I think your game is perfect now. Great job!

I don't own too many rare games, but I do have a few nice ones. These are the rarer games I own: R9: Glib R8: Boing!, Gravitar (silver), Quest for Quintana Roo (Sunrise) R7: Up 'N Down, Xenophobe R6: Cosmic Swarm, Ghost Manor, River Raid II, Spy Hunter, Tapper And then I also own Pizza Chef from CCE. I'm not sure what rarity it is, but it's probably not too rare, being a pirate and all.

Atari was working on a Dune game that ultimately got cancelled. The rom is available, but it's not very playable. Also, I'm not really sure if it counts, but there was also the M-Network game Kool Aid Man, although that's really based on commercials, not TV shows.

There's also a newly discovered prototype called Harem.

Awesome! This game looks simply phenomenal. Could you put me down for #171, please?

I absolutely LOVE this game. There's a lot of strategy involved in precisely hitting your target. I like the improvements over the previous game (love the clouds! The tanks look better also.) My only complaint is that maybe the computer opponent is too good. Sometimes he fires first, and hits me right off the bat. But this is only a minor complaint, and only happens every once in a while. I'm glad to see this game ressurected. Keep up the good work!
