It's amazing to see the best games of a 1977 platform come out over 30 years later. So congrats on this great version ! :thumbsup: If you ever do a limited run with AA I'll definitely buy my copy. Of course you 're welcome to trade it for a boxed & signed Rubik's Cube 3D if you want as I have some copies left

Hi, I'm putting 3 nice games for auction: - Almost NOS (shrinkwrapp slit) PITFALL 2 for Atari Computers: auction 191276980356 - Home Vision Panda Chase #5 (boxed): auction 201144903106. This is a very rare 2600 cart. - NOS shrinkwrapped Parker Brothers Super Cobra for Odyssey²: auction 191276973716. Last NOS PB game in my possession so far. I'll try to list more items but I'm busy trying to clean up some space for our second baby coming next March. This will include a couple never seen Paintiff's Exhibits from the Magnavox vs Activision suit: Activision 2600 cartridges. I'll post the links when I'll have them listed. Regards, David

Thanks for your hints, I got the emu and the 2047 disk -scored 512-. Couldn't find a better way to LIST the game without doing a warm reset. One question though: would an entry consisting of a small interpreter be allowed ?

Hi guys, I'm a bit late there but I found this contest while searching, for the fun of it, obfuscated code pages (don't ask me how I ended here, I don't recall, but I really like such contests). The problem is, I don't have an original Atari computer to enjoy and since some (if not most) of you seem to write under emulation, I wanted to know what emulator would best run on my Windows 8.1 PC and if I had to load some particular programs to load entries to see how programs are done. Thanks in advance, David Winter

Update: you can now use the javascript decoder if you're a bit lazy to decode manually....

To all Odyssey enthusiasts: After seeing all sorts of mistakes during almost a decade, I finally managed to decipher the date code encrypted on the Inspection Cards. This took me several years, but was well worth the effort. I released an interesting article about this, and how you can precisely date your Odyssey. The old erratic way using the serial should no longer be used. Link: Dating your Odyssey by David Winter Enjoy and forward to all Odyssey fans ! David Winter

This doesn't look like a prototype because the eproms are not socketed. The presence of eproms is strange for a regular NES game but this wouldn't surprise me. I've seen that in many other cartridges, including an Atari game for the 2600.

The chip isn't an eprom but a regular rom. The sticker is the original Philips reference for the rom itself. Sierra titles are pretty rare.

Hi guys, Sorry for not coming back earlier, I've been busy and so forgot to check this thread. Indeed I read the eproms directly so what you have in the dump is what's on the chip. David.

PlayAround section as good as complete now: http://www.atarimania.com/screenshots_games_atari-2600-vcs-p_total-page-step-publisher_13-1-25-48_2_G.html Thanks to you. Did you get my message about the scans ? I made all of them for you, hope to see them on your site with a little credit! David.

Not sure where you are but if you're in the EEC I can dump them for you at no cost of course. If you're in the US and don't wanna risk a shipment there're a few guys around who can do that for you.

Hi! Just listed this very nice one. Maybe the onle NOS one you'll ever see! NOS Philips Videopac+ G7400 Has composite video output Any questions please email me. Has composite video output, so should work fine everywhere.

I looked at the the box side and each of the three games have a small white oval sticker with a P letter on it.

Ok, after checking the three Playaround are PAL, so much rarer than the NTSC. As for the USD vs Euro: I accept USD through PayPal, however all other payments have to be received in euro as I'm located in europe. eBay has nothing to do with my bank account and can't force anyone to receive a particular currency.

Hi! I put a number of Atari 2600 titles for auction. Several are NOS and shrinkwrapped. I'll add more tomorrow as I didn't have the time to upload everything to the server. You can see my auctions with several very rare titles, including three Playaround games (two are shrinkwrapped) and from what I've been told, they are the ultra rare PAL versions, which aren't mentioned on this site (unless there are no PAL but two different people asked about that). I also have a Homevision WAR 2000 for those who missed the previous one. More to come tomorrow.
