I'm not sure if they are numbered inside, but I hear if you've been naughty, it will be a lump of coal. If you've been nice it will be a nice helping of Kung Pow Chicken. I wonder if you will be able to smell that through the shrink wrap?

Dohhhhh! I knew I should have read past statute 56158-62.

coleco_master should know the answer to that one. I didn't open my shrink wrapped version, but I did open the version that has the Arcade machine on the front and that version has a black shell. I'm not sure if it is different for the LE version or not.

I've decided to hold on to this game. I realized that from the rest of my games/NES that I got with the lot, I should be able to make my money back without having to sell my rarest game. I'd much rather hold on to it if I don't have to sell it. I hope you all understand.

I have just finished cleaning and testing the Bubble Bobble 2 game for the NES. This game has a rarity value of 91% from what I hear. I would rather sell the game to a collector through AtariAge rather than sell on eBay. Here are the pics and I can send you the images so the zoom feature will work better if you are interested. I'm asking $300 including the shipping if you are in the United States mainland, otherwise it will be 300 + shipping charges if you are outside the United States mainland or you are in Puerto Rico, Hawaii, or Alaska. The game comes with a Nintendo dust protector and a clear plastic case (also pictured). I also have wrapped the game in a white paper towel inside the case so it won't rattle around during shipping and I will wrap Bubble Bobble 2 in Bubble Wrap....had to write that. :-) I'm going to set this at $300 for today and tomorrow, but if I can't sell it here by the end of the weekend, I'm going to take this to the land of eBay (my price is currently lower than what is on eBay).

I think it is this one: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/226649-colecovision-music-and-melody-creator/?p=3015365 I know that one worked for me on a computer where it wasn't installing previously. Going to bed now, but I'll see if that helped you out in the morning. :-)

Try running the Setup.msi file. I think this may be the one that installs the other goodies you need. I can't remember exactly since I haven't needed to install it on my machine in quite a while. I know this uses a thing called Microsoft VisualBasic PowerPacks which is free and is just for a shape object in Microsoft Visual Studio. Once that is installed (should be in one of the installers), you should be good to go. If you look on page 1 of this forum, you can see that users were having the problem until I made the installer for it. If the above doesn't work for you, try the #9 post on page 1 of this forum. That may help you. NOTE: I'm not sure if this work on Windows 8 or 10 since I don't have either of those fancy pants OS versions.

That would suck, but in this case we know where they are coming from since we have the return address. I could see someone doing that on eBay though. I think that is why I normally collect loose carts. I actually bought a shrink wrapped Game Boy Advance or DS game from K-Mart back in the early 90s and it was missing the cartridge? Luckily, they let me exchange the game box for the same game. I felt like I was trying to con them telling them that the game wasn't in the box because I've never had that happen before. My only guess is because those games are so small, that perhaps it fell out when they were packaging it.

I just got back home and was very pleased to see my copies also arrived here in Virginia. One was shrink wrapped which is the only game in my collection that is still in shrink wrap and the other was the box that has the arcade game picture on the cover. I had to take a look a the manual because I like seeing how it is all laid out. I think I'll have to get a copy of the pdf of the manual so I can print it out to hang on my cubicle at work.

Sorry for the late response, I was on a cruise and just got home today....it costs like $20 a day for internet on Royal Caribben ships so I just go without it. Are you still having a problem unzipping the file and installing it? This program was made for Windows 7....I'm not sure if that matters though.

Happy Thanksgiving! FYI - I will be on vacation from Nov 27th - Dec. 7th and will have no access to internet or email. I'll reply to any questions, comments, etc. once I'm back home. Be safe everyone!

I'm extremely excited to hear your feedback!!! Gameplay and replayability are my top concerns. I figure people in the infancy of gaming had to come up with ideas and rather than just doing a remake, I wanted to use my ideas without "cheapening" a classic. I'm already planning on my next game, but I don't plan to officially work on the code until early next year. I'll start a new forum for it and a link from this topic to quickly access it. I also leave my SD Cart plugged in at all times and I've noticed that sometimes the cart doesn't come on right away probably for the same reason. Running downstairs to take it out of my CV right now......be right back....ok, reminder to myself....don't leave any Cart in your CV all the time....noted. I could have fit another 1 K in the cart if I had used the max-allocs option in CCI3, but I'll probably use that in the next game perhaps. I reworked the functions in the game several times to lower the filesize....that and my function that allows me to make 4 levels for the price of 1 in terms of file size.
