coleco galaxian tabletop

I don't think you can change it...

Not every flea market is the same. Sometimes you score, sometimes you don't. I found nothing for ten years at the one I go to regularly, then one day found a vendor with hundreds of rare games/systems. I walked away with about five thousand dollars worth of stuff for around a hundred dollars.

 

It's all about luck of the draw. It used to be that you could get a good deal on something because whoever was selling it had no idea what they had. Now with the internet in every home and ebay price checking, you don't come across very good deals very often.

oh thanks

K.c. munchkin and frogger

[What if we never got past the 8-bit chips?]

hmm...well

All video games would still be in the golden age

many kids would marvel at gyruss' graphics

every kid wouldn't want to have the newest console where you are 1st person in a 3d world with a gun shaped controller with a motion sensor with 1,432,987,786,456 buttons for everything you can't physically do on your own

the world would not have websites on their computers

Atari would have 9.7billion cartridges for every movie, thought, or event: the last crusade, world war II, if I could fly etc

I have about forty different VFD (the colored back-lit display used in these games) units, including all the coleco ones but Zaxxon. I love them. Many of them are still a blast to play, and the displays are bright and colorful.

 

It's a great thing to collect, and you can still find them in the toy sections of flea marts and thrifts.

O.k. you... find... these... at... flea markets?

my best friend goes to one of those flea markets on Sundays and he has never even seen the excalibur frogger or space invaders

I got the excalibur at an auction and the pac man on ebay... other than that I have never seen them anywhere else.

oh I forgot,

and at the pac man cafe (closed now ) museum

PAC-MAN!!

pac man is the best arcade game ever!!!

It's so good that there are tons of clones like munchman, kc munchkin, hangly man, epoch man, pirahna, new puck-x, puc one, muncher,...............

it's been on almost every console known to man

thats concrete proof that pac man stands on a great game foundation

"I have the Frogger, and also the Parker Brothers Q-Bert one. One of the coolest items they made back then! They're very popular. I wish I had a Pac-Man one!"(mirage 1972

check ebay, they have tons of them

cheap, or INSANELY OVER PRICED!

I snagged mine for $31 or so

I've seen them go for $7 before so keep looking

[console versions u liked better than the arcade]

DK jr- colecovision better jump,speed,and difficulty

[coleco arcade]

Does anyone have one of those coleco mini arcade machines? I bought one on ebay ( pac man! ) and wondered if anyone else loves these things. here is a site with good pictures and a good review but, pac man has a slight mistake(it should be grade A! )

[Wanted: PacMan and Ms. Pac-Man Colecovision controllers]

so, let me get this strait,

you have a colecovision pac man (there is only a prototype)

and you want a better controller for it?

tip:atari 2600 controllers work fine on the colecovision
