First wild find!

[First wild find!]

Yeah, they should rename it the second hand computer garbo run because theres always loads on pentium 1's and lovely 486's for people to get.

 

Gotta love a wellfare setup

[How do you spell gross?]

Um, now im embarrassed to live here.

 

This is by far the most tastless piece of tourist crap i've ever seen.

[Some FleaMarktet finds]

krisjohn

 

Dont know about WA but don't you find that the intellivisions pop up all other the place? Specially the ad ons. Ok the majority are in pretty crap condition but it seems more people must have bought them then i would have suspected?

[7800 Put me in the hospital!]

The euro pads are by far the best for the 2600 & 7800

 

They also work fine as a 2 button pad for the coleco, That is 2 seperate buttons for games that need them like space panic.

[First wild find!]

I've only been re-collecting for a short time but come accross stuff all the time, I guess i have just been lucky.

 

My latest find was also the most expensive, I bought a 4 switch wood panel 2600 which is in absolute mint condition, It is boxed and has the combat cart and console manual. This cost me $35 but i couldnt say no, Its said BUY ME! It is the most well preserved 2600 i have ever seen

[Your predictions for the future of video game collecting?]

Sony release another disturbing over rated machine and call it the playstation3. It still cant play VCD's, Its still expensive, It still cant do half the things sony will tell everyone it can. It will be compat with Playstation 2 but no-one will care because they still cant get the image on their screen to fit and look half decent.

 

But by then it wont matter because everyone will be a shopping drone with no imagination and chips in their heads that go off randomly.

 

Time for a coke

 

Time for some Mcdonalds

 

Time to buy a crappy Sony product, Because its a brand name we can trust

 

Maybe i should sleep more?

[Best Game for the DC]

I luuuurv Virtual on, It was excellent on the saturn and &%%&ing brilliant on the DC.

 

THPS2, the best release of this game IMO

 

Soul calibur, um need i say anything?

 

DOA2, Looks/Plays better then the PS2 attempt

 

Res Evil code veronica, Best console port of any res evil

 

Spiderman, I just like this one

 

Crazy taxi 1 & 2, quick fun

 

Sonic adventure 1/2, Excellent fast vomitatious fun

 

MAn, i even like the rollercoster game

[Tigger's bouncing+hunting FINALLY pays off! But what is this]

Tom boy is a rainbow vision pirate cart, I dont mind it after a while.

 

However this high quality Galaxy cart looks way cool, Different to any pirate cart i have and i have heaps.

[WANTED: PAL 7800 carts or an NTSC 7800]

Im soughtta new to the collecting thing, always been addicted but really heavily into collecting now.

 

I have about 130 2600 carts, some coleco and some inty so maybe there is something obscure from your part of the world?

 

Controllers and pads are easy to get here, Maybe a PAL only cart or 2?

 

I have no NTSC 7800 carts, thought i did but was wrong.

 

Im willing to pay but trading is sought of more fun.

 

Cheers

[WANTED: PAL 7800 carts or an NTSC 7800]

Im an idiot! Its kung fu master, duh

[buying new system - xbox or ps2?]

After owning a JAP DC with over 100 titles i can honestly say the PS2 was and is possibly the most overated machine of all time.

 

Sony lied through their teeth before launch of what the machine can handle. Sony is really just a name, a label on cheap Asian parts. Soughtta like Nike.

 

Some FPS's on the PS2 are pretty good, All except for soldier of fortune i think, And lets not forget GTA3 which i think is the best game of all time. But regardless of the large range of titles the majority are not really next Gen Material.

 

The GameCube and Xbox on the other hand shine of Next Gen titles, Even on launch dates.

 

My choice has been all 3, But the PS2 lived a short life.

[Saturn help needed,]

HI All

 

Im not sure whether this belongs here as the saturn isnt exactly modern.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions with fixing a saturn laser? I can get the machine to work but only after pushing the laser all the way to the back

 

Ive tried the orange colored screw which apparently increase the power, All this did was make the laser detect nothing.

 

Any help would be unroool;

[Your predictions for the future of video game collecting?]

I predict that in 100 years time my grand children will be soaking up the sun on an island somewhere funded by the auctioning of grandpas console collection.

[WANTED: PAL 7800 carts or an NTSC 7800]

Hi all

 

As the subject suggests, Im after some 7800 PAL carts. Im finding these hard to find and i love this machine,

 

Willing to trade or buy from any country.

 

This is what i already have:

 

Karateka

Mario Bros

Donkey Kong JR

Karate Champ

Super Huey

One on One

Galaga

[Need Recommendations on a Console]

The 6 switcher is just nice to own, because it's the original.

 

The black vader is ideal for fitting all carts into.

 

The 7800 is brilliant but can suffer fitting 2600 carts into.

 

Heck, they're all good

[Got a lynx 1 boxed / mint]

Yes, indeed meant that they are available easy for people living here.

 

Im so impressed with this hand held marvel theres no way in the world im selling it!

[Yet again MORE disturbing auctions]

Yes, Morrissey does still write music.

 

As a matter of fact Morrissey played at a place called the enmore theatre at the end of my St about 2 weeks ago. I fell sooooo special, NOT!

 

November spawned a monster bblah blah blah,, Ok, i really like "How soon is now"

[My girlfriend's grandpa's basement.]

The title of this thread is very scary indeed,,,

 

But what a find! Did you try the cocktails? and did they have any PCB's?

 

I swear if this was my gramps we'd be best of friends til the basement was emptied

[Got a lynx 1 boxed / mint]

Hi all

 

Well this is the first time ive played a lynx. Yesterday i scored a lynx1 , boxed in mint condition with 3 carts, They are S.T.U.N runner, shadow of the beast and Crystal Mines II. Ive gotta say that im mighty impressed, The screen is big, the sound is excellent.

 

Any australians here who want a mint boxed lynx 1 let me know, This guy had heaps of them. Cost me $20 all up.

[What a thrift haul]

You didnt happen to go to a certain store i told u about??

[odd unlabeled defender NTSC??]

It sounds exactly the same as mine, Check this post.

 

http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.p...hlight=defender

 

I thought mine where maybe lab loaners? But seems like pirate to me, Im sure Tempest would know? Dont have a scanner myself.

[odd unlabeled defender NTSC??]

Yeah, i got about 5 blank cart cases recently. None have any glue marks or scratches.

 

They are , spiderman, tutankaman, mmmm demons for diamonds and some star wars. They all have a sticker with either the initials or just scribble on the rom chip. The rom also seems to have a smaller square shape poke out in the middle where the stickers are. Soughtta like a mini heatsink

 

I think they are pirate?? The demons for diamonds has a capacitator the size of a small battery.

 

Does your cart have a section with a grip on the back??

[wait, did i just get a rollover?]

We here in the inbred country say "i clocked it"

[Weird Mario Bros. Cart]

definately a late PAL release, Im not sure about the year but i have alot of late releases like kung fu master that are just like this. Something tells me they are cheap mass production carts, However they all work fine.

[What is the weirdest thing you've found inside a 2600 cart ?]

In actual fact i have found many dead roaches inside of my machines, However the strangest was a worm like thing inside a c64. There was only the shell left and it vanished into dust. Still it was visually pretty gross.
