Any idea how long before there will be ordering for the next batch? I'm another who has an XM ordered an need to start getting in line for XM games. :-)

Does Microvision count? I just completed the following: Full, Loose U.S. Microvision Set - (Working console + 11 U.S games) Full Boxed Microvision Set - (New in box working console + 11 in Box U.S. games + New in Box French version of Super Blockbuster)

Is Wii U perhaps a play on words - "We / You" ?

Fauxscot - if that bad display chip is the one from my console that you got working feel free to donate/use as you see fit for any projects you have in mind or for someone else to utilize.

I'm looking for some opinions on the value of a CIB (not new) Mindbuster game for the Microvision. Thanks.

I hope you find a simple solution but you may have become another victim of receving a non-working S2 on ebay. I've bought 3 in the last 3 months, non of which worked. Thankfully, by the sounds of it, fauxscot has been able to repair one of mine.

Having just ordered one of the few remaining copies of 'Mage' for the O2, I'm interested in Revival Studio's involvement as wel.

PM sent re: Original Odyssey games.

I just got approved for the group so I posted a message there about the renewed interest in the S2 here and provided a link back this thread. Maybe someone from there will join us in here with some info.

I just signed up for the 'rcacosmac' Yahoo newsgroup (http://dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/rcacosmac/). If when I get approved, I will post a message over there to see if we can get some interest directed back towards this thread here.

And perhaps permission from Paul Robson to include his 3 games (http://www.robsons.org.uk/archive/www.classicgaming.com/studio2/)

Sorry to ressurect an old thread but now that I have a working Astrocade, I'd love to see another run of these as well. I have a spare cartridge or two I could donate if it is possible to re use the shell on an existing game.

Count me in amongst the '50' needed. :-)

The last game I need in a box for a complete Microvision set. I have a loose copy but i'm looking to complete the box set. Been waiting for one on eBay to show up, but one hasn't yet.

Well, I maintain my stance re: getting these things off Ebay - Caveat Emptor. I am now basically 0 for 3 on trying to get a working unit.I'm doing ok on getting carts with these things though. So far got Space War, (x2), TV School House I (complete with all 4 manuals), TV School HOuse II-Math Fun (x2), Fun with Numbers (x1), BlackJack (x4), Tennis/Squash (x3), Biorhytm (x2) and Baseball (x2). So if there is a need for a donation to some experimenting on some of the thoughts in this thread, I have some carts I could lend. On an unrelated + note, my copy of Zero Five for the Jag showed up today. Just spent about 10 minutes with it and it seems pretty fun. Graphics totally reminded me of I, Robot; now THERE'S a game I'd love to see on the Jag.

How much is one of these going for? I'm pretty sure I'm down for one :-)

This looks awesome and have enjoyed it in emulation. I like the "what looks to be inspired by the Space 1999 Eagle ships" artwork. Cant wait until it's available in cart form!

We'll see, they say 3rd time is a charm.

Problem I have found is that most are untested and lack the switch box. I am so far .5 for 2 in trying to get a fully working console. I did get a working switch box with one though, so that has been a plus.

Thought I'd add in that I also am glad to have added it to my collection, no matter the cost. There's no other way it was ever going to get into my collection, I enjoy the game (reminding me a bit of Arena and Daggerfall a bit in the graphics dept), and I have certainly spent that much and more on far less worthy experiences. So is it worth it? If you collect for the Jag and enjoy RPGs, absolutely! :-)

Being the owner of 2 of these, one with this problem (http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/207348-rca-studio-ii-display-question/page__hl__+rca%20+studio%20+ii%20+display#entry2673826) and another on it's way hoping that it wont have the same issue, it's awesome to hear from those directly involved with it. It gets so little attention, yet seeing an ad for it in the TV Guide when I was really young was my first exposure to the possibility of home video games. I wanted it so bad, but it never happened. Now, I'm just trying to end up with a fully working one. Thanks for joining and sharing!

To get it on the iPad, do a search for "Retro Gamer" in the app store. There is a 'standalone' Magazone app for it that you download and it will appear in the 'Newstand' app. Open Retro Gamer from the newstand and from within that app will be options to buy issues, subscribe and also purchase their special 'e-books' such as the Atari 40th Anniversary book.

It is available in the iTunes store, I think it was like $7.99. I grabbed a copy of it to have on my ipad in addition to ordering a physical copy (I dont remember how much US$ it came to).

I grabbed Towers II and Breakout 2000. Happy to be able to get them at prices cheaper than eBay as well.
