So if I read all that right the seller is saying that it's Pitfall 2? and that it was never released due to the video game crash? And on a side note why do ebayers feel the need to scream in their auctions? It doesn't make me want to buy it just hurts my eyes and annoys me.

Thanks for the information. The place is open again Wednesday so I will stop by and see how much they want for it.

I discovered a new indoor type flea market and aside from a small stack of common 2600 games I spotted a boxed 410 Tape drive. The person who rents the space was busy and I had to go but am thinking about going back to get it. I have read the older threads about belt problems but aside from that are they reliable? Or should i pass on it? What would be a good price for one?

You mean like this? Can I get a pic of it? Sure i'll be back at the old house tomorrow and see if I can dig it up.

Thank you! I was thinking the exact same thing.

I have the Space Invaders flavored one somewhere I never knew there was a Pac Man version! Awesome!

Adventure

Definitely a 5 star review! I thought it was great.

Redneck Rampage!

Even though my scenario only got 3 votes I still would like to help with this project. Let me know if I can help.

Thats all I could really find as I'm from the USA so i'm not too familiar with what types of shops you have over there. You may try some shops that sell used/older games. Video rental shops may also be a source as they may no longer rent GB Games but they may be able to order the cases.

http://uk.ebid.net/perl/auction.cgi?mo=auction&auction=16821071&from=googlebase I found that site on a quick search but I have never dealt with them.

First off welcome to the boards! And when it comes to what you consider a deal if you are happy with it then you did good. Look at it this way you fixed the screen and it came with the battery cover (I have seen plenty that have missing or broken covers) So thats a good start right there. Did you pay to much? Probably...but it's a learning experience, you got some tips in this thread already and thats good and the other poster is right we have an awesome community here not only for Atari but many different systems and the marketplace forum is a great place to get a good deal. http://www.atariage.com/forums/forum/6-marketplace/

$3.95 for flat rate shipping? Does that mean the 166+ Games and Controllers will arrive in no less than 166,000+ pieces?

Ooooh Ooooh I know! I know! Amtrak Edition 7800 consoles!!

I actually have that version on my homepage! I think it's pretty darn good.

Looks great! You did a great job!

The pick-up/drop noises from Adventure (2600) The footsteps from Haunted House (2600) The Tarzan yell in Pitfall (2600)

I think Scenario 4 is quite good! But if I had to choose another I like #3 too.....(but not as much as #4 )..... Seriously these are all great choices!

I missed it too! well kinda is there early but I had a rough day at work and fell asleep.

Resident Evil for the Playstation And another vote for Super Mario Ds ..... fun but waaay to easy.

I think it was an old Zork text adventure game that when typed in a naughty word you would get a message "Such languge in a high class establishment like this!" Pretty much the entire Shivering Isles expansion for Oblivion...anything Sheogorath says is comedic gold! The facial expressions in any Punch Out!! game. The text in the original Metal Gear for the NES classic lines like: "I feel asleep." The expressions on the Battletoads when a boss is coming. Eyes bug out and Jaw drops.

No it's not boring at all! I've learned a thing or two as well!

Congrats Wickey!

No it's cool we all are actually having a good discussion.
