Congratulations also from me Only for interest - how high is the HighScore finally ? 3xx k 4xx k ? greetings Tom

Hi, @ Csonicgo if you want to play it only - you can download the rom and use the emulator ! @ Zeus I also don't think fakes will reduce the value of the originals it only makes the search for it harder because of identifying (IMHO it could rise the value for originals). @ Csonicgo your "smell method" isn't a really bad idea but how will you do that before bidding on such a game Of cause actually you can compare a repro with an original and see the difference but as i said maybe one day you can't see it any longer because the repros are perfect. Just think of the Audio CD replicas - here in germany you can see hundrets of them on the flea market - they are professionally assembled (mostly they come from Poland, Czech, aso)with original silver CD's professional Print, and professional Cover - it's nearly impossible to identify them as fakes ! I only wanted to say that it's not a good idea to make this repro carts of already released games - it only makes collecting harder greetings Tom

Hi everybody, i found this one on ebay today : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...2&category=3528 It's a quadrun dump with self printed label. I ask myself what this should be good for ? Wether you can own a real cart and can be proud to have it in your collection or you just own a cheap replicant and say "yeah - i did it - i own a faked quadrun". It's the same if i have no money and print me 1 million in self printed Inkjet quality notes and say "i'm a millionaire" I mean releasing a prototype game is o.k. but why the f... releasing rare games ? Only to bring confusion and questions about authenticity of the rare titles ? I think this isn't a good idea because maybe one day somebody finds a cheap method to reproduce absolutely authentic looking labels and sells them as originals and who will identify them any longer without open it and ruin the label ??? greetings Tom

Hi everybody, i was asking myself if the Kid Vid game Smurfs Save the Day was sold in a retail Box like Berenstain Bears or was it only packed within the Kidvid Voice Module Box as Bonus ? If there's a retail Box maybe someone can post a picture . greetings Tom

Hi, i think Cosmic Commuter is the most sought after Activision game and a gap in many Activision collections greetings Tom

Hi, i have the Pac Man and the Combat Atari Pack and both games where complete with Box and Manual and they look exactly the same like the standard retail boxed games. greetings Tom

Hi, oh, Wing War - right, this one i'm missing too but as i said i spoke about all Silver Release Games and i'm pretty sure that Wing War never released as silver Label Or does anyone know the existence of one ? And i don't think that more than a handful of Sky Patrol boxes exist - i only know one collector who has it - so i know for sure that i never get my hands on one of this - so it's unreachable and for me not worth listing it in my want list greetings Tom

Hello everybody, i got my copy of bumper bash today and the first thing i was wondering is that the manual is bilingual in english and french !? Second is the Cart, Manual and also the Box says Spectravideo not Spectravision - so for the first i thought that it must be a PAL version because in France they have Secam/PAL TV-System. I plugged the cart into my PAL console first and everything looked good - then i tried it in the NTSC and again - all colors look good and not strange or funky - normally you can use it as a hint to determine the TV-System if the colors look strange - f.e. if you have a game where the sky is pink but not so on the BB (even there is no sky in the game ) Does anyone have an idea how to identify exactly if the game is NTSC or PAL or is it for sure that there was never a PAL Version released ? thanks and greetings Tom

Hi, and congratiulations So you're the one who catched the Silver Subterranea right in front of my nose I'm missing only the silver Subterranea to have them all silver and CIB and of course the extreme rare ones like Atlatnis II and Cubicolor. greetings Tom

Hi, i'm missing them too but i only would buy them CIB I think it's not that easy getting them in the 100$ range each - especially Q-Bert's Qubes. The two games where sold in a lot on ebay a few days ago for 226$ but the labels where anything else but good : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=38597 Anyway good Luck :wink: greetings Tom

Hi, i think this is the point where you can spread the "real" collectors from the just for play "collectors" because i think and that also speaks for me that a true collector doesn't buy a game becuase of its good gameplay than because of it's rarity and condition (boxed and complete or not, good labels, nice cosmetic condition .. aso) greetings Tom

Oh, and the boxes ain't cheap either.... I only get ones with boxes if say, it is only going to cost me $.50 or so more than the cart itself. However, I am a sucker for manuals so that can bump it up a bit. I finally got all of my manuals filed (5 x 7 photo sheets in a 3-ring binder fit most of them) and it is great! Laura Hi, i store the Boxes all in displays and on shelfs, the carts are extra stored in a special shelf which is selfmade and optimized for cart storage (maybe i'll post some pics if anyone is interested in this) and the manuals i store in clear document cases and sorted by company they are stored in office organizers. And your bill with the boxes doesn't really go up on the rare titles greetings Tom

Well, Well, Well, finally i did it ! The Rest of the Lot is gone completely ! So that's it with trading for me for the first But i promise i try to collect another pile of tradegames next year Again thanks to all of you who bought games from me and looking forward to deal with you again. greetings Tom

Hey Guys, first of all i have absolutely no intention to fake some Pics with Photoshop. I'm trying to get a Hardcore Box Collector and for that i'll pick up everything i can get for fair prices (for the first And as i told i only got the box without cart or anything but the seller told me there was a normal picture label cart inside but he already sold it seperately in the past and the Box was left over. So i'm really interested in seeing a blue cart if it also exist. Then it would become my 5th Space Invaders Label Variation greetings Tom

Hi, i found this one some weeks ago - i've never seen this one before. Seems exactly like the Red Label Box only in blue Does anyone know if there also exist a blue Cart because i only got the empty Box an Ebay greetings Tom

Hi, i remember one Auction where Halloween and TCM both CIB has gone via BIN for 650 UK Pounds ! And actually the boxed Wizard games go usually over 200$. (i know it because i'm still looking for Halloween greetings Tom

Hi, i've looked at the Red Label List here on AA and saw a bunch of games that wheren't listed but i think that's up to us collectors to complete the lists i also found a handful of Quelle Titles that aren't on the list and i think nobody has even a complete Quelle Collection (nobody i know and when i say complete i think there are over 65 Titles as i remember. Back to the Red Labels - i also know that a Red Label Missile Command exist it's also very uncommon. Also the Red Galaxian and Red Kangaroo isn't included in the List. Oh btw. i've seen that Basketball was already listed greetings Tom

Hi, the next Update this Lot is also gone : Im Reich der Spinne - CIB Marineflieger - CIB Super Cobra - CIB Haunted House - CB Pac Man - CIB Mario Bros - CB Pole Position - CB Dig Dug - Cart Smurf - Cart greetings Tom

and the last pic

Hi, i was wondering for a while if anybody else has come to this IMHO Rare HTF Red Label Variations of Basketball and Phoenix. I've attached some pics. I found these a while ago - BB is still shrinked and i don't really know if a red Label cart is in the Box. The Phoenix game was within a lot i bought in the past but there was a silver label Cart with B/W Manual in it !? greetings Tom

Hi, you're very welcome to make me a good offer and the Lot is yours - then you can keep it greetings Tom

Hi, i've seen quite many of them in the past - the hardest part is to get the Box for it - i'm hunting for it quite a while. greetings Tom

Well, Well, that's much traffic boys So here comes the first update. These games are gone : Aquatak - loose cart Cosmic Town - loose cart 2 Pak Special - Challenge / Surfing - loose cart 2 Pak Special - Motocross / Boom Bang greetings Tom
